Joseph Tambellini seems to be a fairly highly regarded restaurant in Pittsburgh. I don't think it is bad, just "old school" in a way that perhaps makes it more appealing to certain segments of restaurant-goers than to others. I'm in the latter segment. It is fine but not wow. That's okay, since it all depends on what you're looking for. This just wasn't my cup of tea, so-to-speak. I'm mostly referring to the food, which is what I would call more "classic" upper-scale American-Italian than anything else. The service is very friendly and clearly the team care a lot about their restaurant. This is a good place that could be better. Frankly, if the kitchen took a few risks and played it less safe I think it would be an improvement.
