“For six years I have been looking for a new favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh since my old favorite one closed. I have never found a place that had the perfect food and atmosphere I was looking for until I entered Lilith last night. Everything about this restaurant is phenomenal. The service from being greeted to the absolutely awesome server we had was excellent! The food had a wow factor rarely found in Pittsburgh. I’m not usually a huge fan of how vegetables are cooked most places and the veggies in my dish just blew things out of the water. You could tell they were fresh and local too. The fish I had was just amazing. It was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Needless to say I will be back again and again now to experience more culinary delights!“

“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!“

“We had so much fun trying all of the dishes on our list (we chose 5). Don't over order, ask the staff for recommendations on portions for your group size. We did this and thank goodness! We had more than enough with variety and meal sizes. Great beer and wine selections as well!“

“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!“

“I enjoyed my lunch. The food came out hot fresh and delicious and my server was wonderful. I’ll definitely be returning again.“

“This place was great! We all ordered different things and tried them all and everything was stellar in their own unique way. I will say the pork belly app was a little bit on the drier side..not my favorite but the sauces were good. Id also say if youre looking for Thai I wouldn't necessarily say they had a lot of Thai options...other than curry sauces nothing really scream classic Thai dishes- BUT BUT the food nonetheless was still incredible- I got tvr crispy shrimp and I dont think I could have eaten it any faster, and the lamb was really good, what really took the cake for me was the 17 ingredient salad they had- it was such a unique and interesting flavor. Our server was phenomenal, and they were very attentive and nice! 1000% recommend dining outside its BEAUTIFUL“

“delicious food, nice interior, and they do amazing charity for the community. wonderful people!“

“We are so lucky to have an establishment like Baby Loves Tacos in the East End! This family not only knows how to make amazing tacos, burritos, etc., but they also know how to feed the soul of a community. From their donation based coffee station to their pay it forward meals to their community meals at the end of the day when they have some extra ingredients, everyone is treated with respect and dignity. If you are craving anything on their menu, you won’t be disappointed. This is a must visit establishment when in the neighborhood.“

“Great food and fast service! Staff is kind and attentive!“

“To start the food was great! As soon as we sat down the service was amazing! Our server Emily was outstanding and knew exactly how to help us. The food came out quickly, hot and fresh.“

“Words can’t explain how special our experience has been at Monterey Bay Fish Grotto. We were warmly welcomed by Isabella and Bassi, two of the sweetest hostesses I have ever met. They showed us to our table which included one of the finest views of Pittsburgh. My boyfriend and I came to celebrate our 8th year anniversary and our server Sydney truly made it special for us. The food was exquisite and each dish brought out looked like pure art. The crab cake (suggested by Sydney) was off the charts, some of the best I’ve had. Chef Dee really out did himself as our food was spectacular. Definitely a great place to celebrate a special occasion and would recommend to all of my friends and family!“

“Best ice cream shop in Pittsburgh. Also, it's a unique Pittsburgh experience. Go park under the bridge right next to the place and stand in the line that wraps around the building. Congrats, you're on your way to understanding this town.“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious! Everything from the cocktails to the food and atmosphere is perfect!“

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

“This location was recommended for a medical school reunion in Pittsburgh by our alumni association. The food was excellent and the portions very generous. We did the family style dining for a large group, and it was very well received. One of my Italian classmates sate the the Cacio e Pepe was the best that he had tasted outside of Milan. I would strongly recommend this location for really first rate Italian food and a great atmosphere“

“Came tonight for my fiancés birthday and the food was absolutely delicious and Kate was an amazing waitress who made us feel right at home! She was awesome“

“My family went for lunch on Saturday, the place was absolutely packed! And for good reason, the food was absolutely delicious! And the service we received from our waiter was perfect. Elijah was very attentive and always happy to meet my toddlers many requests 😅 Also would like to add that even though they were super busy, it took them less than 10 minutes to get us seated and the food didn’t take long to come out at all. All the food was hot and fresh, even the strawberries were freshly cut. We will definitely be spending many more breakfast and lunch dates here!“

“Food was amazing. Location is awful. Came out after dinner and our car was smeared with ketchup packets. Wish it was in a different area, would definitely go back. Feel the area is not safe.“

“We went to The Forge for my birthday celebration. Words w will not do it justice! Everything was perfect. Such a thoughtful place to unwind and enjoy. When we head back to Pittsburgh, I will make it a point to enjoy another evening of delicious food, a Zen atmosphere and fun cocktails. Win. Win. Win.“

“I tried 1:11 Juice Bar at the August Wilson Birthday Block Party. It was the drink everybody wanted. It was so fresh and good. I bought 4 and took a picture with my family drinking ours. I mean it was THAT fresh. And the flavors were unique. I’ve been looking for the page and now I found it! Just wanted to thank you guys and get some more juice!“

“One of our top 5 restaurants in our decades of eating out! Inventive, unique, and well crafted cocktails to the Porchetta and Crab Trophie to the amazing Creme Brulee and affagato...All top notch! These chefs know what they are doing!!! Unfortunately, they aren't open on Sundays when we are normally in town otherwise we'd be here monthly!“

“Always delicious! Meghan and Barry where awesome servers and the food was top notch!“

“Friendly staff and nice spot. Saw Citizen Soldier and the place was clean as well as easy to get to right off the highway 🙂 There's ample meter parking dlong the strip it's on but there's also a few lots where the businesses are closed. I noticed a lot of ppl parking there“

“Jenna was amazingly friendly and accomodating. Helped me figure out a good low carb drink. Wonderful smile.“

“Having recently visited Puerto Rico, I was curious if I would be able to find a place locally that could live up to everything I had during my time in PR before my next trip. Pittsburgh has a lot of great restaurants, but very few Puerto Rican restaurants. Secretos De Mis Abuelos far exceeded my expectations. We had the Mofongo Rellenos con Pollo Guisad, Rice & Beans, the best Tostones, AND, the best Tres Leches cake I ever had! (Not hyperbole. Full stop.) I can't remember the last time I had a meal that brought me so much joy. This place is an absolute love letter to the food and culture of Puerto Rico, and if you've never had the opportunity to experience it, I strongly suggest you stop sleeping on it. I wish these folks nothing but success, and I am looking forward to my next visit already - to Puerto Rico and SDMA. 🇵🇷“

“Tonight we ate at the Urban Tap. Our server Jenna was not only delightful. She was on top of every order both drinks and food. Clearing the table quickly. Filling drinks. And very personable to speak with. I would not only recommend this place to anyone. I would recommend her specifically as your server if possible.“

“What a wonderful experience eating here! As a person with a strict gluten free diet, I loved being able to find a restaurant that not only offered gluten free items but items that could be made gluten free! Everything I have tried has been amazingly prepared, the staff is excellent, and the atmosphere relaxed and beautiful. I'll definitely be making this a favorite dinner place!“

“What a wonderful experience while visiting Pittsburgh! Unique menu with the most scrumptious flavors! The desserts are to die for! You can tell the food is farm to table and pure! I will be back each time we visit!“

“Fantastic milkshake and chocolate covered strawberries!“

“I got the Morning Hash. and thought it was very good. next time are in town we'll try it again.“

“Finally had a chance to stop in and have dinner, I wish I had come sooner. The staff was friendly and courteous. The food and presentation were excellent. Definitely stop in if you in the area.“

“Thank you for the tasty sweet pita you made for our celebration, it was very delicious and special! Everyone loved it!“

“we were there last Thursday to celebrate my birthday and also my bfs as they are on the same day. we heard nothing but good things. Pasta was cold, filet not prepared correctly then given back to me burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. We were so very disappointed. $200 wasted and I walked away hungry. Really don't think we would ever try again. On to another top restaurant in the city.“

“There’s nothing like discovering a new ice cream shop when you travel. I love trying out local ice cream wherever I go and Millie‘s homemade ice cream definitely did not disappoint.

These ice cream flavors were some of the richest, most decadent I have ever experienced and that is coming from an ice cream aficionado.

After dinner, we walked to Millie‘s from our Airbnb and after sampling many different flavors, I finally settled upon the backyard s’mores and the brownie batter. Both flavors absolutely stuck true to their names and packed a punch.

I think I preferred the backyard s’mores just slightly because the brownie batter was SO decadent and SO rich it almost was too much. The keyword there being “almost”.

So if you are looking for some smooth, creamy, delicious ice cream in the Lawrenceville area, come check out Millie’s.“

“Oakmont Bakery absolutely lives up to the hype and then some! This place is truly a bakery paradise and one of the most impressive bakeries I’ve ever visited. The second you walk through the doors, you’re hit with the incredible smell of fresh baked goods and surrounded by endless displays of cakes, cookies, donuts, pastries, breads, pies, and desserts that all look like works of art. No matter what you order, everything tastes fresh, rich, and made with incredible attention to detail and quality ingredients.

The atmosphere is energetic, welcoming, and fun, and despite how busy they are, the staff keeps everything moving smoothly. You can tell why people drive from all over Pennsylvania and beyond just to visit this place. Whether you’re stopping in for breakfast pastries, custom cakes, holiday desserts, or just grabbing a coffee and a sweet treat, Oakmont Bakery delivers every single time.

And Andrew is the BEST! Friendly, professional, patient, and genuinely makes customers feel appreciated. Outstanding customer service like that makes a huge difference and takes an already amazing experience to another level. It’s rare to see someone handle a busy bakery environment with such a positive attitude and still make every customer feel welcomed.

This is more than just a bakery — it’s an experience and a true Pittsburgh-area landmark. If you’re anywhere near Oakmont or Pittsburgh, this place is an absolute must-visit. Easily one of the best bakery experiences around and well deserving of 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“We go to this Melting Pot at least four times a year. Each time is a wonderful experience. Today, however, we were beyond blown away by the best service we've ever had. Hanna was our server and she truly is exceptional! She made everything perfect! The food is always tasty and plentiful. In addition, Amanda, the manager is phenomenal! I still can't figure out how she remembers us each time we come to dine. This is a testament to her customer service skills and professionalism. Thank you Hanna, Amanda, and the entire team who work behind the scenes ensuring a dining experience second to none. See you in April for my birthday.“

“I’m obsessed with Noodlehead. Best Thai food ever! 🤤“

“lots of vegan options and the tofu sandwich is amazing.“

“During our March 2023 trip to Pittsburgh, my wife and I had an unforgettable dining experience. The fire-grilled steaks were cooked to perfection, delivering incredible flavor, while the Tres leches dessert was a delicious, memorable treat. It was truly the best meal we’ve ever had—an easy 10/10.“

“Can’t wait to go back. One of my favorites places in Pittsburgh“
