Best food in the city

by debbirRaymond

I have been to this restaurant numerous times and it is ALWAYS excellent. Never tasted food like it. All homemade. Expect to spend many hours there...they do not rush you. It is an eating experience you will not forget and the best kept secret in town.

• Pros: Great food, good price, nice people
• Cons: server needs to check on table more often

BEST DINNER IN PITTSBURGH

by NJTH

MY DAUGHTER TOOK ME TO DINNER WED NIGHT AND IT WAS THE BEST MOTHER'S DAY PRESENT I HAVE EVER HAD. THERE WERE FOUR OF US FOR DINNER AND WE ALL HAD SOMETHING DIFFERENT. THE APPETIZER SPECIAL'S WERE BEYOND BELIEF. THE RANCH SALAD DRESSING WAS THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD (THEY MAKE THEIR OWN). THE DINNERS WERE SPECTACULAR! WE TRIED TWO SPECIALS THE PORK CHOPS AND SHRIMP SUFFED WITH CRAB AND TWO DINNERS FROM THE MENU SPEGETTI AND CHICKEN MARCELLA. THERE IS NOT ENOUGHT SPACE IN THIS NOTICE FOR ME TO SAY ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS ABOUT THE FOOD. IN SHORT IF YOU WANT THE BEST FOOD IN PITTSBURGH, TREAT YOURSELF AND HAVE DINNER HERE. DINNER'S ON THE MENU ARE MODERATELY PRICED AND WORTH EVERY PENNY. PLAN TO RELAX AND ENJOY THE EVENING, DINNER TAKES A WHILE BECAUSE EVERY MEAL IS MADE TO ORDER. EVERYONE ENTERING THIS ESTABLISHMENT IS MADE TO FEEL SPECIAL, BECAUSE THEY WANT YOU TO ENOY YOURSELF AND HAVE A SPECIAL DINNER - ENJOY

Best Italian Food in Pittsburgh or anywhere else!

by DRauhecker

Don't miss the ABSOLUTE BEST Italian cuisine in Pittsburgh! This is your Italian Grandmothers cooking and every dish is mouth-watering. This is where I take my Italian friends for dinner--there is no place that can compare. I have recently eaten at La Tavola for the third time and the meals just continue to be beyond belief. Each meal is made from scratch and so it takes a little time--don't go if you are in a rush because the meal is the evening. I've eaten the pastas, chicken, and seafood, each was an epicurean delight. I now live in Virginia, but every time I come home, La Tavola is a must. I know this may sound like an exaggeration, but I have been to Italy many times and the food at La Tavola's is on par with the Very Best. The added personal touch is that the owners Joe and Carmela come out of the kitchen to talk with the guests--just like the finest of Italy.

• Pros: Absolutely the finest taste and generous portions
• Cons: wait staff needs to visit tables more often to tend to any needs
