| - My trip to Wild Rosemary was such a wonderful experience. Usually it's almost near impossible to get a reservation here, especially on the weekends. We were lucky enough to get a reservation on a Saturday and for 7 people! I was so excited for this.
Upon arriving to WR, you would never guess that this little restaurant would be home to some of the finest dishes in Pittsburgh. It's delicately placed off of the side of the road and tucked behind some trees. This place looked small from the outside and when I got inside I realized how small it truly is. There's maybe 8 tables which makes it feel so intimate. Once our whole party was there, our waitress came over and immediately brought us ice buckets for our wine. She opened them and made suggestions for an appetizer. We decided on a charcuterie board and then we were given our menus. After looking over the menu, I was torn between the Filet & the Pork tenderloin. When we were about to order, our waitress told us that they only had 2 filets left so I went with the pork.
We waited about 35 minutes for our food to come out. In the meantime, our waitress kept refilling our wine & making sure our table stayed clear. Once our food arrived I was honestly so shocked with how beautiful it was. The pork was topped with capers and a balsamic marinade, accompanied by homemade ricotta gnocchi. I couldn't WAIT to dive in!
The meal turned out to be so amazing. The pork was so nice and juicy. The gnocchi were to DIE for. They had a crisp outside but were nice and fluffy inside.
One thing that really stood out to me in my trip to Wild Rosemary was that after informing our waitress that one our guests was vegetarian (there were no veg options on the menu), she promptly informed Gloria, the cook. Gloria came out and asked our guest what all her diet included and then proceeded to tell her not to worry and that she'll make her something delicious. I thought by her coming out to do that really showed she cared about each one of her guests.
After dinner was over, we were asked if we wanted any coffee or dessert. I chose the French Pressed Coffee. This coffee was unlike any other. It was so smooth and so fresh. I crave another cup of that coffee. When we were ready to leave, we stopped by the kitchen to thank Gloria for all of her hard work. She gave us all a giant hug and kiss on the cheek and as so grateful for us stopping by.
I cannot wait for my next trip here. With their changing menu, I'm so excited to try something new! Between their staff, intimate atmosphere, and beyond excellent food, Wild Rosemary definitely earned its 5 stars. One of my favorite restaurants hands down.
