- JJennifervipPittsburgh •101 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoOur 2nd time dining here. It was our 46th anniversary and we were congratulated several times by staff. Our entrees of fresh pasta were excellent. We shared rosoto balls and carrot & beet salad - both yummy. The suggested wines were lovely. Finishing up with Apple Costini with whipped mascarpone was a delicious ending served by the chef.More infoPino's Contemporary Italian Restaurant & Wine BarPrice: Expensive• Italian• Point Breeze•4.8
- KKristenvipPittsburgh •24 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoTalia is our favorite spot - hands down! They rotate seasonal menus to keep things fresh, while preserving the fan favorites (like cauliflower dip!!!). The wine list is excellent, featuring a fantastic Italian variety, unique to the city. Though the food always hits - it's the service that we value the most! Melissa and her team make every guest feel like family. Can't wait until our next visit!!More infoTalia Cucina RosticceriaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Downtown•4.7
- JJosephvipPittsburgh •70 reviews5.0Dined on 16 Nov 2024AWESOME! We enjoyed a great dinner last night at Mezzo! We hadn't been there in a while. Since our last visit some new things were added to the menu and we decided to try three of them. We had the small plates of the lump crab cakes, and short rib and we shared the gnocchi with vodka sauce! The crab cakes were delicious and the side of aioli really made them shine! The short rib, bar none, was literally melt-in-your-mouth spectacular!!!!! The vodka sauce on the gnocchi had a hint of "spice" and the wilted spinach in the sauce made for another fabulous dish!!! A shout out to Jeffrey our server to Mike the manager and a BIG SHOUT OUT to the kitchen!!! Great job everyone!! Many thanks from this foodie!!!More infoMezzo at Sienna Mercato - Second Floor OnlyPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Italian• Downtown•4.2
