You can't miss here. Every dish will be one of the best you had, but especially the large chicken and rice plate.
It takes a little longer to prepare the chicken, so you may want to put that order in while you're ordering appetizers and small plates.
... and you do want appetizers and small plates.
I have it on good accord that the cocktails are some of the best around.
The prices are extremely reasonable, especially considering the ambiance, service, and some of the best food you will find anywhere.
My current favorite restaurant in the city, and one of my favorites in the states.
Everything was very beautiful, with each food item being special and delicious. Loved the ambience where my group just talked, are, and drinked. The service too was impeccable where our waiter took the time to explain some food items and suggest some as well. Since it was three of us, we ordered quite a few items. Our top 3 were the pulpo that was tender and covered in a buttery sauce, the morcilla baguette pieces that melted in your mouth, and of course the oxtail. We also ordered some white and regular sangria, not bearing so much sweetness, carefully guiding us in this food journey.
My favorite restaurant in the burgh! The tapas and large plates are ALL EXCELLENT. For the tapas, my favorites are the shrimp and the octopus. For the large plates, the trout is my go-to dish every time, and the half-roasted chicken is also sooo amazing!
Highly, highly recommended.
Hands down some of the best food I’ve had in Pittsburgh. Everything is good. I especially enjoyed the Laurel Hill Farm Trout, which is super fresh and tasty. The waitstaff are courteous, attentive and fun. Our party thoroughly enjoyed the experience and can’t wait to return
What a great date night spot! We were visiting from out of town, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our reservation. The food comes in small tapas style share plates and we had about 4-5 dishes between 2 people. We thought dessert was going to be similar in yield so we ordered 2, but 1 would have definitely been adequate. We were also pleasantly surprised to have been given a nice treat by our server to celebrate our anniv 🥂 Thank you for the great experience and we’d definitely love to come back next time we’re in Pittsburgh!
