Restaurants near Dormont

“Townie bar with a hip vibe? Check. Excellent drink selection? Check. Local owner that you’re happy to support? Check. Clean bathrooms with great smelling soap that costs more than what I buy for myself? Check. Feels like a safe space? Check. What more could you possibly need?”

“Vocellis is the best pizza around. They have the best deals and the drivers are always so kind. Dormont Vocellis is the only place I will order from because of the high quality of the food, the low cost, and the EXCELLENT customer service I receive each time. 10/10 stars ⭐️”

“We have dined here multiple times and each time it somehow gets better. Service is exceptional, food is incredible and the vibe and atmosphere is one-of-a-kind in Pittsburgh. Just wish it wasn’t so hard to get a reservation each time 😂”

“A group of 5 of us visited Dish last night and the meals were amazing. Grilled Squid, the best I have ever had. Where else can you find it not breaded and fried? Add to that their amazing sardines so fresh and good. Pasta Funghi another high. Exquisite detail to taste in every dish. The owners go way out of their way to make you feel welcomed and happy and very satisfied. A must visit when you are lucky enough to get a reservation though other friends have happily sat at the bar for dinner just to be there!! Kudos to Dish!”

“Had high expectations for this place but the food just wasn’t that great :/ I ate solo and even tried to fit in 3 dishes but neither of them really hit. Pierogi were nicely crisped on the outside but the romesco-like sauce on the bottom made the dish more on the acidic side, especially since there was already pickled relish on top, and I found myself wishing for more fat or sweetness. I actually used ricotta that came with bread and it tasted much better with it. Lobster roll filling was excellent but I wished they’d actually toasted the bread on the inside and not on the outside. Eating soft white bread of which there was a lot just didn’t feel great. Finally, the skate had good flavor and shishitos were a cute touch but the fish was severely undersalted (it’s a thick fillet) and the sauce on the bottom was, again, mostly acidic and didn’t help much.

Super romantic vibe inside and excellent service. Drinks were good, not great (I enjoyed their version of penicillin but the funghi one had no funghi flavor).”

“Me and my girlfriend went to Baby Tacos today for the first time we got there a few minutes before they opened. Who I’m assuming the owner was very friendly and still waited on us. The food was done in minutes and when I went to check out he told me to put my money away the first one is on the house. There aren’t to many businesses like this one in this day and age. Food was great will definitely be a return customer”

“Chris has bad attitude worst pie maker i have pics he says this is a perfect pizza delivered to wrong address also at first smh”

“Pizza was soooo good! The staff was so nice and the restaurant was clean. Sandi was super nice and didn't get impatient with us when we were figuring out what all we wanted! We will return!”

“Great service, and the food was really good!”

“Look for our server, David M. Friendly, great sense of humor, provided advice on food and drinks. I wanted a Porter or a stout, and he joyfully replied “Left Hand Milk Stout!” He nailed it.”

“I cannot stress enough how amazing your restaurant and staff are. We’ve been patrons for years and have never experienced any issues. Our most recent two visits with our 3 young grandchildren were effortless! We love the food and staff so much. I will mention Vince as he waited on us both times and is so attentive as ALL the staff we have had. We love the mother/daughter staff, but I regret that I don’t know their names. My personal favorite is the custom calzone. I asked for thin dough and both meat and marinara sauce on the side. I was delighted that it was all perfect and I took half home! It was just as delicious reheated in my oven. Thanks Nick and staff!!! ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟🏆🌟⭐️🌟⭐️”

“Great food. Friendly efficient staff. Highly recommend.”

“This is a special place. Liege waffles are very different than anything I've ever had. They are made from a yeast dough, with caramelized brown sugar inside, smallish, and served warm in a napkin so that you can take it with you while window shopping. Please note: these are not meant to be served with ice cream on top. The ice cream and waffles are both very good by themselves. The owner only serves them together because people ask for that, but I think they ask for it because they think that's how it's meant to be served. (At least, that's what we thought!)”

“Second time eating at this gem, bringing the family along. I had the tikka masala, and family had red curry, chicken quesadilla and Hawaiian stir fry. The flavors were SO delicious and everyone loved their meals. It's great they offer vegetarian protein choices and substitutes. Owners are super friendly. We can't wait to come back again!”

“Had an amazing time !!!! Never been before and definitely recommend!! Our waitress was Camille and she was so nice !!!! Amazing”

“Love visiting condado butler street when i’m in the lawrenceville area. It’s such a fun vibe & the food is always a 10. My #1 is the chorizo queso. Definitely a very well-managed location. Ask for the employee Phy if you go! Can’t wait until my next visit!”

“I ate at Arepittas in September 2022 when I visited Pittsburgh. I enjoyed everything I ate. I hope to visit Pittsburgh (and this restaurant) again. The food and service were excellent.”

“Had dinner here last week with several others for the first time. The owners are SO kind! They explained details and answered our questions to find the exact dishes we all wanted. The food was beyond fantastic!!! The flavors and spices were just right for each of us, and we will definitely be back!!!!”

“The restaurant was too cold. It was uncomfortable. There was no where to sit in the entire restaurant that was warm other than the ladies room.”

“Delicious food! Huge portions! Will be back!”

“Excellent food. Excellent service. Wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend this place!”

“Tapas are amazing and atmosphere is fun! Come check it out.”

“Some of the best coffee I've had in Pittsburgh in a long time; food is AWESOME! Great space and great location. Worth the extra minute to navigate around the construction! Bruce.”

“It’s my first day in Pittsburgh and I stumbled into this nice little place almost on accident. I’m so glad I did. Anytime I come back to Pittsburgh I’ll make sure to stop in and have a bite”

“The fried chicken biscuit with honey is what dreams are made of. Absolutely delightful!”

“I’m typically not a mushroom person but the Oyster Mushroom sandwich was out of this world. Definitely will be making this a regular stop in my life!”

“Great drinks, incredible Martinis🍸, nice staff! The food was incredible with an incredible variety of dishes!”

“First time dining at Senti. Not a big menu to choose from, but what you do get is quality. The apps were very good to start the evening and the dinners were excellent. Nice portions and very tasty. Drinks are very good and paired nicely with dinner. We will definitely be back.”

“Me and my girlfriend have gone here twice and we’re already planning to come around every week. Their Frappes are delicious and the build your own sandwich was amazing. We were already expecting the sandwich to be good but it was even better then we imagined. Can’t wait to try out the rest of the menu!”

“Some of the best food in the tri-state area! Great food and fast service, I recommend the lunch buffet!”
