Umi

Umi 5849 Ellsworth Ave Shadyside, 15232 412-362-6198 Tu-Th: 5-9:30; F-Sat: 5-10:30 In honor of our recent trip to Italy (literally, we just stepped off the plane yesterday), I’d like to review…..a sushi place? What? What’s wrong with me? I just ate my way through fifteen days of incredible Italian food and I come home to [...]
The Café at the Frick 7227 Reynolds Street Point Breeze, 15208 412-371-0600 Tu-Sun: Lunch11-5; Tea 2:30-5 This place is bombasticular! No seriously, it’s rockin’ like dokken. It’s in the zone, off the hook, over the wall, and under the radar. In other words, it’s a quiet little spot with bitchin’ food that doesn’t get the [...]
Ibiza

Ibiza 2224 E Carson St South Side 15203 412-325-2227 M-Sat 4pm-2am I’ll tell you straight up, I am a tapas-skeptic. Every time I have them, the portion is too small and the price too high, leaving both the stomach and the wallet too empty. They might be delightfully delicious, but most of the time I [...]

Went back to Il Pizzaiolo again this weekend (did I mention that I am obsessed?) and EVERYTHING’S CHANGED!!! Well, not everything, but they changed the menu, both [...]

Vivo

Vivo 565 Lincoln Ave Bellevue, PA 15202-3531 (412) 761-9500 Wed-Sat 5-9:30 Just wait until you eat here! This restaurant is so good, so careful about its preparation, so attuned to their ingredients – it is a special find indeed. It is very expensive, BYOB, and out in the middle of nowhere-land, but the food AND [...]
Il Pizzaiolo 703 Washington Rd Mt Lebanon, PA 15228-2004 Phone: (412) 344-4123 Mon-Thu 12-10; Fri-Sat 12-11; Sun 12-9 Pasta – I could literally eat it every night. After moving to the ‘Burgh, I complained for the first 7 years that there wasn’t a decent Italian pasta place around. I tried Alexander’s Pasta Express, Mariani’s Pleasure [...]
