| - Stopped in here while in town and since I didn't have a reservation, I had to sit at the bar. It's a cute little restaurant in Market Square with both indoor and outdoor seating. It was restaurant week in Pittsburgh, so I went with the $20 3-course meal which included a choice of salad, entree, and a dessert. The arugula salad was good with roasted peppers and fresh shavings of parmesan cheese in it. The Rigatoni & Shrimp pasta was in a basil pesto creme sauce and was OK, but I wished it had a few more shrimps other than three of them. I went with the tirimisu and was quite disappointed. First off, it was served in a glass cup, which I've never seen before and it had a distinct citrusy taste to it. I love tirimisu so I've had a lot of them over the years, and this was by far my least favorite.
Service was just OK and a bit slow for my liking. Portion sizes tend to be on the smaller size here, but I'm OK with that as I don't want all the calories. Between the 3-courses, I left full. The price was good for what I got, but this was a reduced price for restaurant week, so had this been any other week and I paid normal prices (around $26 for what I had), I would say the place is a little over-priced.
