Arrived in Pittsburgh late last Friday night and strolled downtown for a late dinner. Found the Ten Penny by chance. The outside looked inviting and the inside was quite impressive. Very rustic but comfortable surroundings. Our waitress could not have been more friendly and accommodating.
Ordered calamari rings for appetizer. I have calamari in practically every restaurant I have visited and feel I'm quite an expert and critical. When they arrived, they looked like large onion rings....but, Oh My God were they tender and delicious! No doubt they were handled properly and marinated in milk....superb! Our entrees were just as delicious....well done, perfect sized portions and delicious! Wine selection was just fine and overall pricing was very reasonable.
What a pleasant and relaxing visit and I'd recommend anyone visiting Pittsburgh to give this place a try. The couches we sat at were a neat touch, but a little uncomfortable with tilted seat cushions, but hardly enough to ruin an overall great experience! Great job and best of luck to Ten Penny!
