We couldn’t have had a better experience, or picked a better place to dine. My partner and I had our first date night in over a year and a half. Our server, Tabitha I believe, was absolutely PHENOMENAL. She is very friendly and I would have given her 100% tip if I could have. The cocktails were amazing, I had the Lovely Lady first which consisted of Strawberry Vodka, fresh sours and lemon peel. I secondly had the Strawberry Jalapeño Margarita, which is a house made infusion, and it was stunning. If you like a little heat, it’s definitely a must have. My partner had the Whiskey Sour, which

Really enjoyed butternut squash and brussel sprout appetizers, lobster and shrimp entree and ricotta cheese cake. Wonderful place to sit and enjoy the atmosphere, easy to carry on conversation. Four of us dined for 2 hours, loved every minute with eclectic decor, attentive servers and wonderful food.

Had an amazing experience at Carmella’s tonight. We have been before but they really wowed us this evening. The restaurant week menu was a 10/10. Great apps, incredible steak, and the Baked Alaska was a special treat! Our server Ashley was so attentive and friendly. It felt like eating in a cozy home by the fire in the midst of a busy restaurant. Excited to go back soon!

Great vibe, yummy burgers, just a tiny bit too high priced. Our first table was next to the door going outside from a delivery door and cold air was unsettling until we requested to move. The kitchen also messed up our order by putting bacon on the wrong burger, but it turned out well. Wagyu burger was better than the bison burger but the bison burger went really well with bacon. Amount of fries is tiny with the dish, definitely an afterthought more than anything. Cheesecake was a great rich ricotta with a tart cherry.

I can only rave about Carmella's Plates and Pints. The décor is beautiful, the bartenders are fun and kind, and the food and drinks are more than fantastic. I am always blown away by the food when I come here. The octopus melts in your mouth and all other dishes are phenomenal as well. I recommend coming for both brunch and dinner, or just stop by for a drink and dessert. I'm always happy with my experience at Carmella's.

This place was so cool. The ambiance and staff make it even better. My server asked the kitchen to stay open for us because we were a little late for our reservation. They all treated us so good. I can't wait to go back. Th food was cooked to perfection!

Amazing bourbon list. Super cozy front bar. Food was excellent, atmosphere was better. If I lived in Pittsburgh, this would be my go to spot. I’d finish the bourbon passport for sure.

Cool vide, great service and good food. We had a large group and waitress was great. We had a bunch of different food and all was delicous. We had a bison and waygu burger, roasted chicken, steak, lobster and shrimp risotto, and desserts a filling meal for sure.

The customer service is awesome! Traffic on the Parkway was backed up because of disabled truck. We were running late for our reservation and they still held our table. Our waitress was very attentive, nice, and friendly. She also took a group picture for us at the end of our meal since I was back in town visiting family and friends. If I were only rating her, I would give the restaurant 5 stars, because she was that great.
I am giving this restaurant 3 stars, because the food was just ok. My daughter and I ordered the Lobster and Shrimp Risotto. It tasted ok, but it wasn't salted/flavored properly
