The Pittsburgh food universe is a divided set...some love Smallman more...others Federal. I get it...it's a tough call. Me? I have to say, I love Smallman more than Federal and prefer the intimate setting. I can't help it and love how cozy it is! However, they are very different spaces and that is not to say that anything is bad about Federal Galley. My boyfriend loves the open atmosphere and the higher chance of finding a seat with a group of people. I've been there a couple of times but really have only eaten at Michigan and Trumbull and Provision. I don't feel like I need to dote on the pizza, I am sure 99% of these reviews gush over it. The Provision burger though...oh my. Smoked mushrooms and umami mayo, yes please. I really do want to try Supper and El Lugar and really have no excuse for having not. Everything that comes from Supper looks amazingly beautiful. My friend ordered their eggs benedict that uses fried eggplant as the base. It looked insanely pretty and he really enjoyed it. Overall, it is a great option for food, a wonderful addition to the North Side and a wonderful place for friends to gather.
