I came here on a Sunday night for dinner. Pallantia look quite small on the outside but the inside was pretty spacious. The restaurant was pretty much dead on the Sunday night. There were less than 10 people dining in the restaurant.
The decors here are okay, nothing outstanding or memorable. The host and waiter were nice and welcoming. I enjoyed the service.
I came for the paella so that's what I ordered. The paella took about 30 minutes to be made which is reasonable. When it came out, the waiter told us to be careful because it was hot. Turned out, the dish was not hot at all, it was actually quite cold for something that has just been made. I have had paella at other places before and the one here was definitely not the best I have had. There was not enough seafood for the premium cost and something that should be shared between 2-3 people. The rice was also way too salty for me and my sister, and both of us love salty food. We had to squeeze lime on the dish to make it less salty. The seafood that was used did not taste very fresh neither. Overall, a disappointing paella experience.
We decided to order the flan and bread pudding for desserts. The flan was very dense and tasted almost like cheesecake. It was actually served with goat cheese. The flan was topped with some roasted nuts (I think pistachio) and the topping tasted really good. I have never had flan this style but it did taste yummy. The bread pudding was okay and was actually not dense enough. The amount of raisins inside the bread pudding was very overwhelming.
Overall, not sure if I would come back here. There are definitely better options in Pittsburgh.
