“I don't live in the Pittsburgh area anymore, but we were visiting relatives, and wanted to pick up takeout for about six people. Chinese food like everything else is getting extremely expensive compared to what it used to be. But not this place. The food was outstanding and fresh Perfectly boxed up for us and exactly what we ordered the way we wanted it. Very cool experience. Not easy to find Chinese restaurants in Pittsburgh that have egg foo young. And this restaurant makes egg foo yong perfectly - crispy, and not greasy. And the price is extremely competitive and less than most. Also enjoyed their happy family and eggrolls. But again, this is a better restaurant for takeout, even though they do have comfortable tables to sit in, but they're very limited.“
“My work honored me recently with a retirement party, along with our Pittsburgh staff, at the Altius restaurant. My family has enjoyed dinner there before, and as always, everyone was quite impressed with the atmosphere, attentive staff, and fantastic food. Altius is a top-tier restaurant in Pittsburgh, and you will not be disappointed.“
“We’ve dined twice at Alla Famiglia and it’s the best Italian restaurant in Pittsburgh. Their portions are massive and we’ve always had enough for lunch the next day. The three things we recommend are the grilled octopus appetizer, any of the veal chops, and the seafood diavola. You need to see the size of the veal chops in person as pictures online don’t do it justice. We thought the Cavatappi tasted better than the Cacio pasta, even though Cacio costs more. Overall it’s pricey for Pittsburgh, but the quality is superior and you get enough for lunch the next day. Another tip is get a bottle of their spicy olive oil on the way out. I add it to many dishes for an extra kick and it makes for a great present.“

“My wife, our son Declan, and myself stopped in for lunch around 1 on a Saturday. Service was great and they were very accommodating to our 9 1/2 month old son, providing a high chair as soon as we were getting seated. The staff was very friendly and engaged us in light conversation. We got a medium pizza with italian sausage that was absolutely amazing and cheese ravioli with meat sauce, also very delicious. The restaurant has a very cozy, traditional feel that we loved. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit and mad it was my first time there after living in the area for over 20 years.Kid-friendliness: Very accomodating to our son, giving us plenty of napkins, plates, and some crackers to snack on.“
“This is a must see spot to eat fresh & enjoy great customer service. I’ve personally stopped in just to try one time and keep coming back. Declan is a super cool guy & always interacts with customers and if you’re a regular he’ll generally remember your order. If you ever thought about going , do not hesitate go down there today. Try the pink dragon!“
“Really good açaí bowls! They have lots of options and the flavors are great. My only complaint is that it is expensive, and I wish they had Nutella as a topping! My bowl was made quickly and the employee was very friendly. Hope to be back again soon!“
“Went before my haircut a few doors down and was packed not a seat in the house and was just as good as ever....had the eggs Benedict regular no fancy frills and it doesn't disappoint. 2 girls running around servicing the entire place but they make it worth the visit everytime“
“We've been here twice. Tonight we celebrated a 33 year anniversary. I had the scallops, my husband the pork chop. Everything was delicious. Lou greeted us and made us feel like we entered our own dining room. Throughout the night, we heard him greeting several diners warmly. Shannon, guided us on menu options. With champagne (BYOB) and delicious entrees, we had a lovely night. All was topped off with a refreshing key lime dessert. Can't wait to return!!“
“Bistro to Go did an incredible job for our vegan wedding. They worked with us to create a menu we loved and made time to answer any questions we had along the way. They had a complimentary tasting and the chefs even hopped on zoom calls throughout the planning to make sure the menu had been completely perfected. Shauna and the team also worked with us to provide the most inclusive menu possible - with plenty of gluten free options and nut free options in addition to the wedding being fully vegan. This made sure everyone attending the wedding could fully enjoy the food, which was extremely important to us. All of my non-vegan friends and family were raving about the food! My meat-eating uncle actually said "if all vegan food tasted like this I could go vegan." The meals were beautifully plated and the service was excellent. My non-vegan parents were so relieved and happy we went with Bistro. We had actually started with another company for our wedding, but after hiring them it was very difficult to reach them and when we did, it didn't feel like there was a willingness to work on customizing a menu for our wedding. We ended up switching to Bistro to Go and it was the best decision we made.“
“The food was amazing and the staff were very nice. There was a lot of options that were vegetarian friendly because everything was put together fresh.Vegetarian options: Nearly everything could be made vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: Most bread like items were made with corn.“
“Road trip from Toronto to Pittsburgh. Stayed here for 4 days.My family members were all craving for Pho. Googled the best pho and Pho Van was top of the list.Quiet Easter Sunday in Strip District but not Pho Van.There was lineup outside of the restaurant. In my mind, it’s gotta be good.I went in the restaurant and checked myself in. There were few people waiting before me. Waited almost 25 mins.It’s weird that they didn’t sit us in when there was a table for 4 people.I asked the staff and they said there was one person in front of me.So, it doesn’t make sense to me if you want to sit 1 person at a 4 people table.anyway, that person got another table and I sit at the table which was ready 10 mins ago.————-Pho:It’s very pricy comparing to Toronto (i know I can’t compare but still…). A bowl of Pho cost me $18 USD (~$25 CAD) and it’s only one size.Soup base was nice. No heavy MSG. I ordered eye round pho. Portion was ok (Large size in Toronto), meat portion was just ok. I expected more for this price.The noodle was thinner than Toronto. It was nice.Spring rollIt was delicious. Freshly made. Not those frozen one we have in Toronto. Well done here.————-Overall, it was a nice Pho place to stop bu. It was expensive for Pho. $120 US with tips for 4 bowls of Pho.“
“First time ordering from here yesterday, and happy to say we found our new go to place for pizza! Very friendly and helpful staff. Love the great directions on the take and bake. Everything was delicious. Already looking forward to the next time!“
“I come with my husband for lunch. We always get the lunch special and he LOVES the soup that comes with it. I adore the Tum Yum veggie soup. The summer roll is so fresh and the crab app is crispy and always hot. It’s a family owned business so that just makes it even better. You can’t go wrong with anything you get. Try the Musaman curry with beef. The owner is so sweet and that’s what keeps my husband and I coming back for more.“
“The pastries were delicious, the customer service is a different story. We weren't offered any drinks, they assumed we were taking the pastries to go, so they were in a hurry to put them on plates.Once we paid and sat down, we were basically ignored.“
“My partner loves sweets, cookies in particular, and I wanted to find a local bakery to buy some goodies for Valentine’s Day. Was happy to see that this place offers cookie packs with free shipping! I loved the assortment and the specialty Pittsburgh inspired cookies. I’ve never ordered baked goods through the mail before, so I was worried about how they would arrive. However, they were neatly packaged and individually wrapped! And they were still soft. This place also allows you to add a custom message which was added as a sticker on the inside of the box. The cookies were delicious and larger than I expected - I would definitely repurchase from this place! Thank you for the A+ Valentine’s gift!“
“What a cutie bake shop conveniently located in the Robinson shopping area. We couldn't decide on one flavor, so we got 3 of the little cakes, "Bundtlets"! Seasonal Andes Peppermint Chocolate Chip, Carrot Cake, and Red Velvet! Each were super moist and wonderfully flavored. The team was super welcoming, and the decor festive for the holiday season! What a cute gift these Bundtlets can be at only $5.50 each!“
“This is a great place to celebrate a birthday or anniversary. They make custom menus with your name(s) for the occasion! The food is really good. GET THE MEATBALL APPETIZER! The vibes are immaculate in the old school building with old pulley ceiling fans.“
“Amazing restaurant with a caring, detail-oriented, talented staff. You can tell everyone truly cares about providing delicious food and a great dining experience. Everything we tried was absolutely amazing and we felt so taken care of. Highly highly recommend!!“
“Best gluten free bakery I've ever been to!! We are from out of town and I've struggled to find good gluten free things but I stumbled upon baked true north and it's amazing!!!! Chrissy was absolutely wonderful with helping us pick out different things to try and recommending their top sellers. They even have shipping for baked goods so we can get these delicious baked goods back home in Massachusetts!!! We highly highly recommend the cinnamon buns and the lemon bars!!!Wheelchair accessibility: There is a wheelchair ramp“
“We tried Antonio’s for the first time tonight. We ordered a deep dish pizza with pepperoni and the general tso’s chicken pizza. Both pizzas looked and tasted amazing. I don’t find many places that put fried chicken on pizza, so I appreciate the unique menu items. This style and quality of food is exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely be back.“
“Went here for dinner. I had the gnocchi bolognese and it was terrific. They don't over salt their dishes and the portion was big. My wife had the chicken Parm and that was very good too. They use a thinner breading which doesn't make for a crunchy chicken cutlet.The place is cozy but that just adds to the atmosphere. And the service was great as well.I would definitely recommend a reservation as a smaller place this good fills up quick.“
“We just received a shipment of the caramel, sea salt chocolate drenched biscotti. They are divinely delicious! Just as we remembered from a trip we took last summer to Pittsburgh and surrounding areas. I told my husband that from now on, we will never send people flowers. We will send them these biscotti instead, and you can bet they’ll be more appreciated.“
“I enjoy baking, and rarely buy from bakeries, but I was recovering from surgery recently and received several treats from The Ultimate Pastry Shop as alternative to flowers. Everything was fresh and very good, obviously made with quality ingredients. Prices were more than reasonable, as well. I will definitely return!“
“We just got Arleos for the second time and unfortunately all other pizza places may have officially lost our business. My husband is a pizza snob from NY and thinks all pizza in the Pittsburgh region sucks but he is raving about Arleo’s. The online ordering is so easy and fully customizable with many options. Delivery guy was timely and so kind. Thank you Arleo’s from your newest loyal customers!“
“We went there for take out on Sunday night for dinner. Tried a small babaganus, regular falafel, one assorted aladin special kebab platter and one seesh kebab platter. The platters comes with buttered rice. Some of them comes with salad as well. The food taste really great. All the kebabs were very well cooked There, flavorful and tender. Babagsnus was very tasty as well. There was a pita with one of the above dishes but not sure with which dish I got the pita. My complain is about the quantity. The platters cost anywhere between 17 and 21 dollars. Given the price the quantity was not what I was expecting. Also the dips like tahini sauce or garlic sauce were not free which was kind of wired. They will change you 75 cents for that. The ambiance looked ok to me. There were one one couple eating in the restaurant when I went to order. So not sure if it gets busy during some other time of the day. There were ample parking available. The shop also sells cakes like carrot cake tiramisu and baklava. The service was really good. I ordered upon reaching there. It took them under 15mins to hand over my order“
“Great experience at Alihan's today! My friend and I ordered the iskander kebab and Turkish falafel. We really liked them both! The complementary bread is so soft and chewy. The ambience strikes a nice balance between classy and comfortable. We learned from the staff as they closed out for the evening that they had been understaffed. They were so pleasant and attentive that it didn't show! I highly recommend Alihan's for an all around positive experience.“
“This is award winning food. Gluten-free heaven for me! I had the tuna melt on GF focaccia bread, it was SO delicious I had to reconfirm that it was GF. The tuna was exceptionally mouth watering. GF made peanut butter cookie alone was worth coming back for. Salad was fresh and dressed to perfection.“
“I absolutely love Mr. Colombino’s coffee. It’s so smooth and creamy with no bitterness, the beans are so fresh and sustainably sourced. If you’re feeling fancy order the mocha. It’s not fast drink, because he uses fresh cacao beans and grinds them right there. And it’s not really sweet like a typical mocha, so the coffee still shines through. You can clearly taste both the coffee and the chocolate, being totally happy together in one cup. It’s the perfect balance for me, I would wait the extra few minutes for it any day. He truly takes pride in his coffee.“
“We had Bethel Bakery make our wedding cake, and we couldn't have been happier with the service. Their at home tasting option was the nicest that we tried, the person who did our online consultation was great to work with, and everything was delicious!Unfortunately, we did have an issue with the cake itself. It arrived...basically in pieces. The delivery driver was in tears. Thankfully, our coordinator was able to largely salvage it, and Bethel Bakery, to their credit, could not have handled the mistake any better. They assured us that the cake and delivery charge would be free, and immediately followed up with an email the first thing the next morning, telling us to give them a call whenever it was convenient for us.When we called they were VERY apologetic, offered to make us a free anniversary cake, and even said they could decorate a fake cake, take it to our venue the next time they were there, and get pictures for us so that we could see what it should have looked like. We declined the fake cake photoshoot, but we were very impressed by the offer.Sometimes, accidents happen. What makes all the difference is how the company addresses the mistake. Bethel Bakery immediately took responsibility, and then went above and beyond to try to make things right. We truly appreciated their dedication to customer satisfaction, and we would not hesitate to use again for future cakes.“
“It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Definitely one of the cleanest pizza places in Pittsburgh and they have lots of seats for a great dining experience. Amazing wings and food. The service we received was so amazing and we will definitely be back again. They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience.“
“Came from out of town to tailgate at the Pitt/Louisville game. Called Chef Nick and his team at Saisalido and ordered the Pittsburgh Tailgate option. The food was absolutely delicious. We had very little left overs and there was enough food to feed more than we ordered for. Chef Nick and his team were so helpful, polite and friendly. We ordered only a few days in advance and they were able to accommodate and exceed expectations! Thanks Chef Nick!Ps. I would add pictures but the food went way too fast!“
“We had a funeral brunch upstairs in the private dining room. Everything was great. The staff was pleasant and efficient. We had the Cod, Breaded chicken breast, White rice, Stuffed shells with sauce, salad, and rolls with chocolate cake with coffee at the end. Food was plentiful, delicious and very satisfying. A pleasant ending.“
“What a gem of a place. I always stop when I can and I love to grab a loaf of bread. Their selection is excellent. It’s one of my favorite places. I recommend dining in or grabbing a few things to go.Kid-friendliness: I always see families when I am in here. It’s a nice neighborhood place.“
“Really nice place. Very cosy with a nice atmosphere and good service. Menu options were good and reasonably priced with generous portions. I have had duck at other asian restaurants and it sometimes comes out rather tough and chewy. But I had the duck birds nest here and it was alot more smooth and tender. I would highly recommend comming here.“
“We order here pretty often. My husband thinks the General Tso's is the best in the Pittsburgh area. He just thought it was extra good tonight and so, a 5 star review! We'll order here again, soon!My meal was most excellent as well. I love that the vegetables are not over-cooked and retain much of their texture.“
“Aladdin’s never disappoints! We had a real nice dinner tonight. I had the Aladdin’s platter and my wife had the Gene’s Combo platter. BOTH were delicious! I highly recommend eating here in Mt.Lebanon. I can’t wait to come back again! Leah was our server and she was informative about the menu and attentive. I wish they would open a new Aladdin’s in the West Hills area!“
“I had a delightful and delicious brunch here. The service is exceptionally fast, the food arrived within minutes of my order, and my order was taken almost immediately upon sitting down.The restaurant has a lovely ambiance, filled with off the wall and on the wall art, the staff is delightful, and because this is kind of a neighborhood restaurant, you'll meet all sorts of interesting people. It's possible to eat quietly but it is also possible to talk to the people sitting next to you.And of course, the food was delicious!“
“Thank you thank you for making this special cake and cookies for my daughter's 21st birthday!! It was perfect and tasted delicious!! Kuddos to the baker that did an amazing job on the cake decorating!! The almond cake , raspberry filling was perfection!!!!“
“Wow! Just wow! I can't recommend these meals enough. Some highlights:-It's not a subscription, you order when you want/need-I particularly appreciate this.-Local delivery with no issues; packaging is is reusable, no ice packs.-Delicious, inventive meals, easy to follow instructions, and generous portions. Makes cooking a breeze.And! And, plant-based!!Highly recommend!“
“Our family has been getting our special occasion cakes from Alex for years. They are not only works of art, they are delicious!She always pays special attention to what we requested and goes above and beyond.Can’t wait to order for our next event.“
“Went to this restaurant last night. We tried the buffet. The service was so fast and good. Restaurant was cleaned. The buffet have good options. We tried gol gappe. The balls were perfect but the liquid wasn’t good at all. Noodles were perfect and the sauces all were good. The main meal was perfect. Malai kofta, curry, veg korma, saag all were amazing. Naan was average. Gulab jamun and halwa was amazinggg, taste good. Overall 4/5“
“The green beans appetizer is so delicious I had to order more! Plus I had the crispy chicken salad the chicken was so tender and the flavor was so good with all the combination in this salad! I defiantly recommend this place. Such a wonderful and unique little Cafe IO. ***** 5 star place in my opinion!“
“Food was excellent; fresh and flavorful. I would defer to the others in my party who seemed to enjoy the quality of the beer.As a Catholic, I admit I initially felt like genuflecting when I came in, however the restaurant did an excellent job of embracing the soaring space which gave the feeling of our party being isolated from others while still being able to people watch. The ambiance was *not* solemn, rather it felt light and airy.“
“The best Valentine’s Day gift ever!!!!! I ordered a valentines bouquet seeing how cute it was but not realizing how much bang for my buck I was actually getting! Guys!!!!! There are sooooo many pretzels! And the balloon just added to how cute this thing really is! My husband walked in and was soooooo excited for his gift!! And the kids were too! I hope they do something like this every holiday! We give 1000000 stars it is a must gift!!!!!“
“My first time at Thai Touch and my first time eating Thai food this evening! Loved everything - the cute little restaurant, the service and my dinner Pad Thai with chicken and Rangoon’s were delish. I love that it’s byob. I will definitely be back.“
“Always a great place for good food and prices are reasonable. Normally has a soup and salad bar. Love the potato soup. Sad it's only 2 days a week for it.Kid-friendliness: Kids get crayons and a coloring/learning placemat.Wheelchair accessibility: No steps!!!“
“I received a giftcard to the cafe and really enjoyed stopping in today. A nice selection in the case of gluten free cakes, tarts, macarons, etc. I got some treats for a relative flying in and got a piece of tiramisu cake for myself- it was fantastic. Very moist and delicious. Can’t wait to stop back in for more pastries.“
“The food was good (but not great), and the service was generally good, but I do feel like we were "checked in on" more than usual, which was a tad annoying. All in all, a good place for some standard American-Italian fare.Vegetarian options: I love the make your own with mushroom sauce and broccoli! They have some other options, but that's my go-to. Definitely harder to find good vegan options, but vegetarian is pretty decent“
“Quarantine 2020 Review: One of my technicians and I were completing some work at a business a few doors down from Taste of India. The owner was nice enough to allow us to park in his parking lot and during a break, the delightful smells of the kitchen drew us into the restaurant. I ordered three orders of Butter Chicken and Garlic Nan to go. It was very reasonably priced and they not only brought it to us at our job site, but threw in some dessert. The food was excellent - its some of the best Butter Chicken I have had. Also, the friendliness and service was outstanding. Taste of India is definitely worth the visit for take out during the Quarantine and I am looking forward to going back once life gets back to normal to try the rest of the menu. Highly Recommend this place!“
“Interior could use a bit of updating, but was clean and comfortable enough (kudos on the St Paddy's day decorations!). As for the sushi, definitely some of the best in town. Had the dragon, rainbow, Pittsburgh, and red dragon rolls, and loved them all.“
