When I went here, I expected that it would be an extremely expensive meal that I would be having just for the privilege of saying that I'd eaten at Butcher and the Rye, which is one of Pittsburgh's eminent dining spots. While I can't lie and say that the offerings are affordable for a weekly visit, it wasn't as bad as I had expected. Maybe it had something to do with my dining alone on this particular experience.
I started myself out with the Spalla, which combined an amazing flavor of orange and almond with the shoulder. It was an amazing experience for my palate that only cost me ten dollars. That was money well spent. For my main course, I decided on the "Dirty Pasta", which is actually an amazing duck mixed with strozzapreti. It had a good bit of romano cheese shredded on top. It was delightful. To finish my meal, I decided to have the artisanal cheese board. I'm a lover of good cheeses and the selection was excellent. Some new ones that I had not experienced before that made everything well worth the price. Overall, I spent less than $50 for an amazing meal coupled with a delightful atmosphere. While this isn't (and could not be) a weekly treat for me, I will make it a point to return sometime soon.
