  • Went to Stagioni after a long wait since reading about it in Pittsburgh Magazine as one of the top restaurants in the city. I made a reservation for four (my wife, daughter of 13 , son of 14, and me) at 6:00pm. I'll start by saying the food and service were excellent. The atmosphere was surprisingly subdued for a Saturday night at 6 on the Southside the night before a home Steelers game. It was like a funeral home in there when we first walked in and didn't liven up at all by around 7 when we left. I wasn't expecting DisneyWorld but I was expecting more tables to be full and a little more "restaurant noise". It was very quiet so our dinner conversation was very quiet too to match the ambiance. A little uncomfortable for a kid from an Irish-Italian family from "Jersey", if you know what I mean. The food, like I said, was excellent. We started with the fresh mozzarella and heirloom tomato dish (apparently so does almost everybody) and it was fantastic. The cheese is served warm (but not melted) over the tomatoes and enhanced by a balsamic reduction and a touch of sea salt. For dinner, my wife and daughter are not as adventurous as my son and me, so they got the linguine and the gnocchi, respectively, with a house made tomato sauce they have at the ready for just such customers. A great idea and they both loved the fresh made pasta. My son also had the gnocchi but had it the way the chef planned on serving it, crumbled Italian sausage and bitter greens in an olive oil based white wine sauce. He loved it and actually said the greens were the best part for him! What!?! I had the fettuccini in a brown butter sauce with lobster meat. The fresh pasta was outstanding, the sauce had a TON of flavor and complimented the lobster really well. I forgot to mention the gnocchi was a ricotta based and not potato, great move and done perfectly. Our server was very nice and attentive. She got us what we wanted in a timely fashion, water, bread (Italian, sourdough or ciabatta), wine for us and soda for the kids. All things considered, I would go back for the food and service but not the atmosphere. The chef seems bold and adventurous and changes the menu often, so we were told. I'll have to go back to find out...
