We had a great dinner here. Visiting Pittsburgh from Boston, I was at a loss for dinner places. I turned to Yelp and we ended up choosing this restaurant on Mt. Washington. The trip up the hill was pretty exciting; we saw a family of deer! It was suggested on here you make a reservation, but the restaurant was only about 1/2 full on Saturday night. A bummer because the food was great.
It's true that the menu specialties are a bit unclear, but our waitresses went through them (very) quickly. Pay attention if you plan to order off that menu. My date thought he was getting tomato sauce, but he instead received tomatoes in the dish rather than a sauce. No matter, he loved it anyway.
We started with the tomato salad which was excellent. Then I had the stuffed shells which were also very good.
Important note: the closest liquor store is about an 6-7 minute walk so make sure you come prepared with you wine or you'll have to go sans-alcohol.
Also, a huge thank you to the restaurant manager. We ordered a cab which never arrived and the valet (who's name i currently forget but his brand-new baby's name is Fenway) drove us back down the hill and to the South Side. Really, a lifesaver!
