The first thing that comes to mind as I remember my lunch there on a Sat. are the flavors. I flew out for a visit and by chance walked by and decided to stop. For my first eating experience in Pittsburgh, I was delighted to know that there were good quality restaurants since I know I have a bias growing up in California.
The Sewickley Cafe is a quaint place. It looked like families and their grandparents liked to stop in and eat on a Sat. afternoon. There is interesting artwork and if you get a chance, try to sit near the window if you like people watching.
I had the Sausage Eggplant which although it was a little on the oily side with the sandwich dressing and the sausage, was still very good. I don't think the bread was made-the-same-day fresh, but it was still pretty soft and delicious. It was the perfect amount of bread to filling sandwich ratio. My husband had the chicken pesto sandwich I got a tiny bite to try which was good, but he liked it so much he wouldn't let me have it anymore.
Having a full sandwich was very filling, but I think I could have done with a small bowl of soup and a half sandwich at the time. We ended up taking half of it back to the hotel for that nights dinner.
I would definitely go back and would recommend others trying the cafe.
