Nestled on 17th Street in Pittsburgh’s South Side, Dish Osteria & Bar is a charming and intimate eatery that serves up soul-warming Sicilian and Mediterranean fare. With a cozy yet elevated atmosphere, it's the perfect place for handcrafted pasta, fresh seafood, curated wines, amaros, and decadent cocktails. Open Tuesday through Saturday from 5 PM to 11:30 PM, this spot fills up quickly—definitely make a reservation! The vibe is upscale without being pretentious, and the service is warm, attentive, and welcoming. The menu changes seasonally, but a few classic dishes stick around for good reason. Went with a few friends and shared a delicious spread—starting with the Calamari alla Griglia: grilled East Coast calamari served with lemon, parsley, extra virgin olive oil, and sautéed spinach. Each piece was tender and flavorful. The Melanzane e Mozzarella di Bufala was a standout—grilled eggplant with buffalo mozzarella, basil, aged balsamic, and Sicilian olive oil. Every bite was a perfectly balanced medley of smokiness, tang, and creaminess. We also split two salads. The Insalata Mista was crisp and refreshing with a blend of radicchio, arugula, romaine, frisée, mustard greens, cherry tomatoes, green onions, turnips, and radishes—all dressed in Sicilian extra virgin olive oil and white balsamic. The Insalata di Carciofini alla Griglia (grilled baby artichokes with wild arugula, radicchio, and fig balsamic, topped with Ricotta Salata shavings) was another beautifully crafted plate with bold, fresh flavors. For my main, I had the Gnocchi al Ragu di Agnello—pillowy homemade potato gnocchi paired with Elysian Fields lamb shoulder ragu, Pecorino Pepato, and rosemary. Impeccable. The gnocchi were light yet satisfying, and the lamb was melt-in-your-mouth tender. Also sampled the Pappardelle ai Funghi Selvaggi and Rigatoni alla Scamorza Affumicata—both beautifully executed. We paired the meal with a featured cocktail of the week and a glass of wine and wrapped it up with a rich flourless chocolate cake—a sweet finish to a flawless night. Dish Osteria & Bar is truly a gem in Pittsburgh's dining scene—perfect for a date night, special celebration, or cozy dinner with friends. Refined, soulful, and full of heart.

Excellent experience all around. The food and service were both exceptional. Our server Brie was attentive, personable, and knowledgeable, and she made great wine recommendations for our respective dishes. Can’t wait to come back.

It was my first time dining here! My sister and brother in law took us to dinner here since we’re visiting from out of town and it’s our last night here. We were truly blown away by everything about this dinner. Our server Dave was definitely the best I’ve ever had, not just from a customer POV but from someone in the industry!!! I’ve managed FOH back home in Philly and I had to shout him out because he truly was such a big part of the experience. So friendly, VERY knowledgeable, and incredibly proficient at coursing everything out. The food was excellent at every stage - I had the papardelle for my entree and the special dessert (recommended by Dave!) which was a coconut mango cake. The atmosphere was cozy, we never felt rushed, and the food was delicious. Truly a beautiful night. Thank you!!!
The food, cocktails and service here are absolutely outstanding. Favorite Italian spit in Pgh for sure
