Sharpsburg is not an area of Pittsburgh that I frequent on a regular basis. My friend John and I get together every few months for dinner and he recommended this joint. I immediately said yes (I love a new adventure) and did not do any research. I actually had no clue I was headed for an Italian feast that was both filling and flavorful. I thought we were headed out to a dive-bar for wings and beer. When we came off the Highland Park Bridge and wrapped around the exit, CC's was right along the main drag, literally a stone's throw from the bridge.
Entering the restaurant, the parking was limited, but lot was well kept (after a snow storm recently occurred in the city). It seemed as though we were entering a house party in one of Pittsburgh's thriving "Mill-Town's" of yesteryear. The bar was tiny, as well as the dining room. If I could have a complaint, it would be the close quarters of the joint. The bartender spotted us entering and immediately sat us in the dining room. We were immediately welcomed with water and Italian bread with dipping oil. I had Onaga (mild Hawaiian fish) drenched in butter and pomegranate reduction sauce served with broccoli (my choice). I started with a caesar salad. John had the iceberg wedge salad (HUGE) to start and Veal for his entree. We split a $20 bottle of Malbec. I literally wanted to lift and lick my entree plate upon completion (held back from doing so). I mentioned that the close quarters environment as a negative, but well into the dining experience this was quickly forgotten. The waitress knew all of the specials and opened the bottle of wine with ease and confidence. 5 STARS with a purpose!!!
