We were visiting the Pittsburgh area and drove by this restaurant, saw the back patio and turned around. The parking lot was full that night so we figured that there must be a reason for that. We sat at the bar until a table on the patio opened up. I had a glass of their sangria. It was one of the best sangria's I have had (other than my own).
Our server, Rebecca, was lovely and attentive. She brought out fresh hot bread with their house dipping oil. It was delicious and she cheerfully offered to bring us more when we finished it. The rest of our food came out quickly. We ordered the zucchini ribbons which is a house specialty (we can get calamari anywhere). They were very tasty and we really enjoyed them. My bf had the rib-eye which had a nice sear to it and was cooked perfectly to his liking. It was one of the best steaks we have had in a very long time. I had a craving for pasta. The spicy seafood pasta (which was just a little spicy) did the trick. We were too full for dessert.
The restaurant has a homey comfortable feeling inside, if a little dated, but it is the huge back patio that is the standout. It's the perfect place to be on a warm summer night. I am sucker for those little string lights which were all over the patio. The landscape was also lovely and we felt like we were dining in a secret garden. We loved it and when we are back in the area again, we will surely return.
