Dinette is perhaps my favorite restaurant. Having eaten here at least a dozen times, I can honestly say the food and service are consistently excellent. Located in East Liberty in the 'deck' above Whole Foods, this tiny and trendy place is exactly what Pittsburgh needs more of--a chef/owner who has made a commitment to using local, in-season ingredients and sustainable practices. The individual oven baked pizzas are the menu's staples, but a rotating mix of salads, mussels, the fritto misto and other small plates keep it interesting. I usually get the anchovy pizza (to die for if you like that sort of thing) but was recently impressed by the shaved ham pizza with fingerling potatoes.
This place is refreshingly different, offering terrific tasting food and a restaurant concept that is worthy of our support. To the reviewer who gave it two stars and complained about the lack of offerings for kids--please use your head. This is a restaurant and wine bar, much more suited to an adult clientele.
