“While staying downtown for work, I sought an interesting lunch and found Arepittas on Google and when I saw they were a Venezuelan restaurant and the reviews were amazing, I walked here to give them a try. Service was excellent… friendly and helpful! Their menu is quite nice and varied, with empanadas and arepas, as well as many other delicious options. I opted for their Reina Pepiada arepa and a side of yuca, with sides of their avocado green sauce and spicy green sauce. Everything was excellent! The sauces were tasty and the arepa was excellent! Yuca we really good too. Definitely recommend stopping in… Really good eats here!!”

“Very good food! Staff is extremely friendly. Would highly recommend! It is a bit crowded during Steelers home game weekends but they really hustle. Definitely worth the time!”

“The food was really good quality and so was the taste. I just wish the place wasn't so small. Everyone had to take turns passing each other. I bumped my neighbor's table when I was getting up and spilled her tea, and I didn't even know. They need all the tables because they are busy but it is just really crowded. I wish I had the answer for them. Maybe add seating upstairs?”

“We discovered their Cafe next door to the bakery. It is so adorable with a long walkway between the buildings. There is outdoor dining available . The inside is intimate and charming, I felt like I was in Italy. They have about 10 tables inside. We ordered the "special" ,butternut squash soup that was a chunky bisque soup and it was delightful. The accompanying spinach salad was very tasty and the homemade crusty Italian bread finished off a perfect lunch. We definitely will go back. This is a hidden jewel!”

“Nice classic ice cream stand! Covered outdoor seating, decent prices and cute location. Just down the road from Avonworth park. They also have 2 dairy free ice cream flavors so there’s something for everyone to enjoy.”

“Pigeon Bagels has some of the best bagels I've ever had - period. The bagels here compete with the best, including New York and Montreal. The line can be a little long, but worth every minute of the wait. I had the classic Lox on a garlic+sea salt bagel, and it was absolutely exquisite. Brimming with lox and capers, with their creamy herb schmear to tie it all together. Absolutely PERFECT.”

“Amazing pasta and salads! I do the ordering for our NCAA hockey team & we were staying nearby while we played Robert Morris. Put in a couple large orders for our team for delivery to our hotel. Our players all loved the food. Will (one of the owners/managers) was very communicative and attentive about our order and was very helpful in ensuring that every thing was all set. Would definitely recommend Anthony Jr’s to any large group/sports team that is in the area for putting in a large order. On top of that — I would recommend it to anybody that is just looking for a quick bite to eat — based on my personal meal, their Shrimp was fresh & the Alfredo sauce is amazing!”

“Love this spot in Mt Lebo! Great menu with tons of options! Everything is always great quality and their sushi is some of the best around. I also think the food is less oily than other Chinese food places in the area. The dining-in experience is also always positive, it’s a nice atmosphere and the service is always good. This is a go-to for us for Asian cuisine!”

“The new store is big upgrade in comparison to the old one. Bigger aisles across the store where you won’t collide with people anymore. Bigger parking lot underneath the store where you won’t have to spend tons of time looking for a spot. I believe the best addition to this Whole Foods is the cafe space with entrance thru Penn Avenue with seating and a bar.”

“We had a dinner at the patio and the vibe was really great for our anniversary night! Not that crowded and we loved their dish 🫶”

“My recent experience at Social House 7 in Pittsburgh, PA, was nothing short of disappointing. Despite having high hopes for an enjoyable evening, the poor service from the bartenders, slow food service, and exorbitant prices left me with a sour taste in my mouth. Let's start with the bartenders' service, which was far from satisfactory. My friends and I waited at the bar for what felt like an eternity, a full five minutes, just to be acknowledged. It's not unreasonable to expect a timely greeting and a bit of attention from the bartenders, especially considering the prices they charge for their drinks. Unfortunately, this was just the beginning of our frustrations. To add insult to injury, we ordered Belvedere vodka, expecting a certain level of quality given the price point. However, it became apparent that we were being served Tito's vodka instead. When we received the bill, we were shocked to find that we had been charged $10 for Belvedere, a clear misrepresentation of the product. When we politely pointed out this discrepancy to the bartender, she insisted that she had served us Belvedere. It was disheartening to witness such dishonesty and a blatant attempt to overcharge customers. The slow food service only compounded our dissatisfaction. We waited for what seemed like an eternity for our sushi dishes to arrive at our table. Given that Social House 7 is known for its sushi, we expected the food to be a highlight of our dining experience. Unfortunately, the delay in service detracted from our overall enjoyment, and by the time our food arrived, we were already disheartened by the other aspects of our visit. Considering the poor service, inaccurate drink charges, and slow food service, I cannot, in good conscience, recommend Social House 7 to anyone seeking a pleasant dining experience in Pittsburgh. With so many other excellent sushi restaurants in the area, there are plenty of better options available. Save your time and money and explore other dining establishments in the city that prioritize customer satisfaction and honesty in their service. Social House 7, with its extreme prices and horrible service, falls far short of the mark.”

“What a special experience our family had at the Frick Park Market. We stopped out front after they closed for a photo op and the owners came down from the upper office and opened up the market to allow us to see it. Dave and his wife were incredibly hospitable, gave us a tour, shared the 100+ year history and shared some Mac Miller stories. What a gift this was as we traveled in from Arizona. Thank you so much for your kindness!”

“I believe that I was the last pie to be made that day and I would like to send a Big Thank You! to Slice one Broadway in Beechview. Pepperoni, Sausage, and extra Cheese, this was the BEST Pizza I have ever had from Slice. The sauce was sweet on an airy crust, the toppings were perfect. This Pizza was a 5 out of 5 stars!”

1900 Murray Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15217, United States

“Ordered mapo tofu and Sichuan chicken. Both dishes were mostly just salty. The Sichuan chicken was sub-takeout quality of meat and breading. The tofu and the sauce was brownish as though it has been doused with soy sauce. On the bright side, the service and the ambience was pleasant.”

“Even though they didn't know what I wanted, they tried their best to please me. The service is excellent, the food is delicious. They probably now know what a baked salmon roll is and how to cook it. Great job guys! I am very pleased with your efforts”
