Description:
SHADYSIDE. With a menu featuring a seductive blend of Mediterranean and Northern African specialties, Casbah rocks well into the evening. The wide-open space sparkles with ornate paintings and furniture, and lattice window covers dignify the interior with a feeling of exclusivity and separation from the outside bustle. In addition, a year-round heated patio is a cozy spot to dine. Couscous and lentils with shrimp tease out a surprisingly full flavor without the heaviness of beef or lamb tainting palate and wallet. A prix-fixe brunch for $22 is offered that includes a cocktail. |

2239 E Carson St, Pittsburgh 15203 • 412-390-1111

|
|
| |
Description:
SOUTH SIDE. The menu tells of Tessie Mae Hullficker, a woman who turned the family service station into a restaurant to serve her favorite TV dinners and BBQ. Indeed, Double Wide Grill does have a "TV dinner" served on a metal, divided tray, but don't be fooled – the food is nothing like microwave dinners. On weekends, for example, brunch offerings include the mammoth-size Trucker Breakfast (two eggs, meat, and home fries) as well as huevos rancheros, steak & eggs, and the self-explanatory Large Stack O Pancakes. |

One is able to sit riverside with a good view of Downtown and Point Park. The menu is centered on seafood, as well as steaks and homemade pastas. Piano music is offered nightly and at brunch. Brunch $24. A must while in Pittsburgh! |

SQUIRREL HILL. With a huge dessert menu that includes everything from the basic cheesecake to macadamia truffle torte, and fountain desserts like Killer Cookie and caramel apple crunch, it is no wonder Gullifty's is a habitual weekly sweet stop for many locals. If more than sweets are required, Gullifty's also serves up some pretty terrific sandwiches, salads, calzones and pizzas. |

Description:
OAKLAND. Looking for a meal that reminds you of home cooking? Tell your mother not to be insulted when you go to Joe Mama's instead of to her kitchen. The wide variety of Italian dishes and diner-type offerings ensures that you'll find what you want for a good price. And a word or two to the wise: Don't go without enjoying the daily drink specials, and if you're a late diner, know that they have half-off prices on select foods every night from 11pm till midnight. |
