| - It was OK. During our three day stay in Pittsburgh a number of people recommended this place. It was a nice surprise to see so many people and the nicely decorated place amid the kind of questionable buildings and homes in this section of Pittsburgh. The restaurant was kind of noisy and the music was too loud. This clashed with the fine dining experience I was expecting, having read the menu. I know that loud music is a "thing" in restaurants nowadays, but it didn't fit in here.
The bar area was very busy, and we wondered why we had to wait until 8:30 to get a reservation since there were several empty tables in the dining room that were never filled. Also, it was too dark and I had to use the flashlight on my phone to read the menu. The three slices (for two people) of cold ordinary bread was a disappointing start. Our Negroni cocktails, however, were the best we ever had! Very oranage-y! We ordered the antipasto for two, and admittedly it was delicious. Nice selection of meats and cheeses, but a little skimpy I thought. Not even one olive on the plate.
The main courses themselves were very good, as was the wine we chose, but nothing to write home about. Just Ok, like it said.
