Restaurants near West View

“I have known about this place for many years, from when I was newer to Pittsburgh and helped manage the Dunkin Donuts nearby (a pretty dreadful experience overall), to hearing about it on a Rick Sebak documentary. But until today, I had never managed to stop by.

I was looking for a restaurant that was open for late breakfast on Memorial Day (one of the more rare days my entire family has a morning off together), and Isaly's fit the bill. The location is awash in the yesteryear- it truly feels like not much has changed inside in a many decades, which gives it a special nostalgic touch, if you're into that kind of thing.

I had the Barnyard sandwich, and I was a bit surprised at how good it the mishmash of items was. The rest of my family all enjoyed their various choices, and the waitress who seemed to be manning the entire small dining room was friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a nice breakfast at a fair price in a place that eeks history and tradition of the area- I'd say it's worth a stop if you're in or around the West View area.”

“The wind shut down restaurants due to power issues. That didn’t stop them! They were kind, they were not complaining due to the extra business close to closing time. All smiles and good services. I’m glad my normal Chinese restaurant was closed and forced me into their hands! Note I’m never going back to my old restaurant. Yeung’s House is now my new go to because their food is better (didn’t even know that was possible). P.S. shout out to the man taking orders because he remembered who ordered what and it was busy!!!!!”

“Had food sent to my boyfriend’s work and asked for them to include a note. They accomodated my request and food delivered hot and delightful. Everyone enjoyed!!! Thanks Stewy and thanks to Center Slice!!”

“We love the new design of the dining room. Everything is much better here. I would recommend going there.”

“I placed a mobile order and once I got there it was not ready yet. No biggie at all I had placed the order about 10 min prior to arriving and it’s not an issue to wait.We waited maybe 3-5 minutes (if that)before getting our food. They were very apologetic and gave us coupons for the wait and inconvenience. Absolutely shocked by this amazing service! Especially for a evening shift! You really don’t get that nowadays and this honestly made date night so much better! Their attitudes towards the situation was perfect! WHO EVER WAS WORKING DRIVE THRU AT THIS LOCATION AROUND 5-6pm DESERVES A RAISE!!!”

“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.”

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

“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!)”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“Been to 2 events there was amazed by everything will be back often and passing it along 5 forks”

“Such welcoming owners, too! Cleanest restaurant I have ever seen.”

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

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

“My wife's grandparents are from the hill country of Lebanon, and her "Sittee" made phenomenal food. I haven't had anything even close to her cooking until I went to Babylon. Friendly, courteous owner and staff, great service, and food that is out of this world. What more could you want?”

“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!”

“Delicious food, excellent service, owner is welcoming and very involved. Have loved every dish I’ve tried but the falafel and lentil soup are my favorites”

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