Bea Taco Town is a popular Pittsburgh taco joint on Smithfield Street in downtown Pittsburgh.
This spot focuses on authentic Mexican tacos with numerous options including build-your-own tacos, premium chef made specials, and other appetizers and entrees.
We were told by many of you to visit this one, and it took us quite a bit of time to finally make it there. But I am happy to report we made it and are sharing it all in this full review!
With breathtaking views of the Pittsburgh skyline and top notch seafood, Monterey Bay on Mt. Washington is one of the city’s premier fine dining destinations. Although it would be easy for the food to play second fiddle to the scenery, the chefs here go above and beyond to make sure the food is just as memorable as the views.
If you follow any Pittsburgh barbecue circles at all, odds are good you’ll hear the name Clem’s Cafe come up time and time again.
This spot in Blairsville is located about an hour east of the city and has a die-hard following of many Pittsburghers who make the drive just for their meat.
Intrigued by this prospect, I made the trip out to Blairsville to give them a try.
Alla Famiglia is a fine dining Italian restaurant in Pittsburgh’s Allentown neighborhood that has stood the test of time. While it used to be a tiny spot in a multi-story house with an open kitchen, in the past few years it has expanded to the adjacent building.
Although the vibe may have changed, this is still one very popular spot for a classic and over-the-top Italian meal.
Willow closed to become an event space in 2019, but was acquired by new owners and re-opened later on. This review is from before the changes and may not reflect the current menu adequately.
Willow is one of those restaurants that consistently makes all the “best of” Pittsburgh lists year after year. We visited a few months ago to celebrate our anniversary and have to agree that if you’re looking for a reliable nice dinner out, this spot fits the bill.
Located in the Fairmont, the restaurant fl.2 (Floor 2) is seeking to elevate hotel cuisine in downtown Pittsburgh. We recently went for Sunday brunch and while the space itself is beautifully designed and the food decent, the service left us wanting much more.
Pittsburgh Magazine is one of the city’s largest local media outlets and features everything from news to event coverage to restaurant reviews.
Each May the magazine unveils their top restaurants for the year (generally 30-40 picks) as selected by an independent panel. This unveiling culminates in their annual Best Restaurant Party that takes place at Acrisure Stadium (formerly Heinz Field) in early June- with many of the top Pittsburgh restaurants participating!
I was invited out to the 2019 event as a media guest of Pittsburgh Magazine and wanted to share my thoughts of this annual event!
Mike & Tony’s Gyros is a local restaurant chain with several locations in and around the city serving up what we believe to be the world’s perfect food- the gyro!
Much to our delight, we found that this one goes all in on gyro and souvlaki meat and is exactly what we were looking for during our visit.
If you are seeking traditional barbecue in Pittsburgh that is as delicious as it is no frills, Showcase BBQ is the place for you.
You wouldn’t think twice about this unassuming house in Homewood West if it wasn’t for the modest sign out front and two massive smokers along the side. But as soon as we arrived, we knew we were in the right place for barbecue.
Bigham Tavern is one of those places that you may never come across when exploring Mount Washington unless you are expressly looking for it.
We would know- we lived on Mount Washington for two years and had no idea that Bigham street had a gastropub, and we lived just a few blocks away.
It wasn’t until we published our neighborhood guide that we got a lot of feedback that we missed this hidden gem, and we made a return trip to the neighborhood to check it out.
We really were missing out.
