| - Dined here on a Saturday afternoon with a group of 8 friends during the Pittsburgh Restaurant week. I would give the place a 3.5
Firstly, the ambience was really impressive. Large windows, clean modern interiors, white wall and modern art. The waitress was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions and took our dietary considerations into mind.
When we had called, we did mention the restaurant week menu, which was a pretty simple menu: salads, entree and dessert. There were no options between them except that we could replace the kind of meat in the entree. What was not impressive was that they took forever to get our dishes to come out. Almost 30 minutes for the salad !?! Then another 20 for the entree. And the dessert took some time to come out too. Most of us were not pleased that the service was this slow, considering there were hardly any other customers in the restaurant.
That being said, the food was on the impressive scale. Our salad consisted of carrots, oranges and candied pecans, and was delightful. The Farro con Scelta was good too , nothing to call out. I was looking forward to the tiramisu, but was disappointed. The restaurant week tiramisu was a much smaller version of the regular one, with much more cream, and less cake. A friend got the regular sized version and I could see the difference between the 2.
Overall, this place has really good potential to up their game, and make the experience better.
