  • A dining experience at Mallorca is akin to the grand display of pageantry from the dining scene of Beauty and the Beast: things are lit on fire, waiters can ramble off twenty different specials off the top of their head, four or five different waiters and staff cater to you throughout your dining experience, and the evening is finished off with shots of Amarguinha. There's no doubt about it, much of Mallorca's appeal stems from the incredible five-star service. My family and I had a rough time picking a special occasion restaurant and ended up here. With mixed reviews around the table, I would certainly recommend that people look past the few shoddy reviews and give it a shot for themselves. It's been around for about twenty years and is most certainly a Pittsburgh destination. We started off with a pitcher of sangria (excellent) and an order of peppers stuffed with seafood and cheeses (also good). As for entrees, I ordered the paella and was rather disappointed. It came with chicken, scallops, shrimp, langostinos, clams, sausage, and mussels. Touted as a house specialty, the whole dish was rather dry and I found that it was not as infused with the saffron flavor that I am used to from other places. My mom ordered the soft shell crab special and here's where Mallorca picks up a few points. This dish is literally my mom's favorite food and she said these were the best she has ever had in her life. I'm used to the paltry, tiny crabs but this dish was served with three HUGE crabs cooked in a wine and butter sauce that was to die for. Although I'm not normally a big fan of soft shell crabs, these were absolutely phenomenal. My dad ordered the veal Marsala and it was decent. Every entree is served with platters of vegetables and saffron rice. Overall, the portion sizes are humongous. For dessert, I ordered a piece of the almond cake and this was absolutely delicious. The cake was light and fluffy and the almond creme was to die for. To top off the meal, the servers bring out complimentary shots of Amarguinha (a Portuguese almond liqueur), which I thought was a delightful touch. Overall, I will definitely be back to try more on this menu. I'll be staying away from the paella and veering more towards their seafood dishes, which I highly recommend to anyone considering an evening at Mallorca.
