While just outside the city limits, this place is truly a Pittsburgh dining gem. Firstly, the ambiance is top top notch including decor as well as in or outside dining options. The food is also excellent. While traveling extensively, I have never had better lobster bisque. The menu is diverse with both a variety of small plates as well classic entrees always with a tasty twist. Some places lose luster after 3 or 4 visits but Cafe Notte has always been ON POINT whether I've ordered lamb, beef, pasta, seafood or just appetizers. With that, There's no need to mention a favorite.
