I have to admit, the first time I went to Morcilla I don't remember being impressed so my boyfriend and I decided to give it another shot. Maybe I'd had too much to drink the first visit, but the second time back I only have good things to say about it! We went in around 5 on a Saturday and got seats at the bar with plans to just have a few drinks and maybe a snack. Of course you can't read the menu and only get one dish, so we ended up ordering quite a few and making it dinner.
Everything we ordered was amazing. Serrano ham is so simple but just well done. The tuna crudo we got with peaches was a great combination of flavors as was the anchovy/tomato toast and the artic char a la plancha. However - the unexpected standout was the pistachio-grape-cucumber gazpacho that was on the menu. Seriously - unreal! It had a black garlic oil and some crunchy pistachios and grape halves and ... yum. The boyfriend and I both agreed this might have been one of our all-time favorite dishes.
Overall - great atmosphere, great drinks, great food. Definitely a favorite in Pittsburgh!
