Dish absolutely lived up to the hype. I've heard so many great things and was excited to visit. I was concerned because I hadn't made reservations, however I was told there would be two tables set aside for walk-ins.
The ambiance: Intimate, great blend of ambient noise and quiet, seating for roughly 35 people.
The food: authentic Italian, al dente pasta preparation, great taste. I had the Spaghetti Frutti di Mare and the shrimp were jumbo size and portion quite generous.
The drinks: I had a caprihlana and it was perfect. Cocktail menu has good variety. Plenty of choices for wine as well.
The service: Excellent. Always available and attentive yet never interrupted conversation, made quality suggestions and handled substations and requests with ease.
This is a must-visit for Pittsburgh!
