    I didn’t know Carmella’s had brunch! And now that I know, I will be back. It was busy, the food was good, and the service was excellent. I had the Carmella’s brunch plate with sausage, eggs, fruit and waffles. Fun and it was an excellent sampler of other things on the menu. We were going to a matinee at the City Theater so it was a great first stop.

    We had an excellent dinner at Carmella’s Plates and Pints! Everything from the service to the food was top notch. It is an absolutely beautiful space and the team there is fantastic. Our table especially loved the pierogi appetizer and bison meatloaf entrée. Their beverage program is one of the best in the area as well. Highly recommend for your next date night or dinner with friends/clients!

    We've eaten at Carmella's for dinner or Sunday brunch many times since they opened and always had a wonderful meal and experience. This time, we were just meeting for drinks and appetizers in the bar area, at a high-top table. Our waitress/bartender was friendly and attentive. I'm gluten intolerant and they had many GF options on the menu. We ordered the corn battered Nashville Shrimp Skewers, which were delicious, as were the Herb Confit Potato Wedges with aioli. One of the 3 of us dining together that night had the always satisfying Wagyu Burger. 2 of us had beers from the extensive beer list and I opted for a GF hard cider. As it was the end of November, the restaurant was decorated beautifully for the holiday season. The little Santa hats atop all of the bottles behind the impressively well-stocked bar was something to see! Carmella's Plates & Pints is undoubtedly one of the best bar/restaurants in Pittsburgh's Southside!

    We were coming from a Steelers game and weren’t sure how long it would take to get there, so we ended up arriving 30 minutes early. The hoat was very friendly and was able to seat us early. Our server was friendly and answered all our questions. Brussel sprouts, pierogies, meatloaf and crab cakes were very good. The pot pie and risotto were a little bland. Prices were a little high but overall we liked the ambiance and experience.

    Always a delicious dinner. Nice seasonal menu entree changes. Meatloaf & Amish Pie dinners were excellent! The best bartenders and cocktails in Pittsburgh (we travel from 500+ miles away & always stop in when in town) old fashioned cocktail is my personal favorite. Keep it going! Bravo!
