Best Restaurants for Foodies in Penn Hills

Morcilla is my favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh because the food is always delicious. I always have the octopus, which has never been disappointing. This time, I tried the gildas, which blended wild anchovies with olives. Really tasty. I had the beef tatar, which everyone In our group thought was one of the best they have had. Lynn's gin and tonic could turn a McDonald's hamburger into a gourmet meal. Like all restaurants these days, the sound level is on the high side, and the ambiance is more like a busy European bistro. The service is attentive, and the dishes come out as they are ready, so nothing has been sitting, waiting to be picked up.

My wife and I decided to celebrate her birthday at Eleven. We were not disappointed. Everything was wonderful! We started early with $9 cocktails at the bar. We had Martinis with Plymouth Gin for only $9. They were great! Then we got $9 glasses of wine to take to our table. We ordered oysters to start, and they tasted so fresh, sweet & briny. My wife had the pork chop and I had the radiatori. They were both delicious. Finally, we had the Trio of Ice Creams with very rich & creamy vanilla bean, lavender honey, & maple brown walnut butter. They were all so good. Nick, our server was excellent too. He never rushed us, but he seemed to be always there to ask if everything was OK and if we needed anything.

Everything was great except the lobster bisque. It tasted more like tomato soup. The steak was very good. The waitress was terrific.

Always our go to! Love the new ambiance and Michelle is an attentive server. Food is delicious.

One of the best meals I’ve had in awhile. Fantastic classic(ish) Italian dishes, delicious cocktails, and amazing service. They even gave us dessert and Prosecco on the house for desserts taking a few extra minutes and that was not needed at all - service was perfect. Will 100% come back.
