Description:
STATION SQUARE. Locals warn that you should call Buca di Beppo several days in advance for reservations – this fun Italian eatery is that popular. This is a great place to go with the family or a group of festive pals. Meals are served family style, so be prepared to dig in for your share of their signature chicken cacciatore, traditional baked ravioli or savory seafood pasta. Don't miss the garlic bread or the prosciutto and Gorgonzola salad, and of course, save room for Pittsburgh's best cannoli. |

BETHEL PARK. A modest gray house provides the backdrop for this family-run neighborhood bistro, where elegant French-inspired fare is the main attraction.

Other flavorful dinner options include lamb chop, osso bucco and yellowfin tuna. Come from 5-6pm for $13 blue plate specials, which include a featured main dish, bread, salad, dessert and non-alcoholic beverage. |

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. |

Description:
OAKLAND. Dave & Andy's Homemade Ice cream is universally accepted as the best ice cream in Pittsburgh – the Pittsburgh City Paper formalized this distinction back in 2000 when they listed Dave & Andy's on their "best of" list. Though the most popular flavor is chocolate chip cookie dough, more adventuresome tasters can try pumpkin ice cream or real cream ice cream (no additional flavorings are added.) And there's a little surprise at the bottom of each homemade waffle cone! ATM onsite. |

Description:
SQUIRREL HILL. "How Lee Cow!" is likely what you'll think when you see your order from this delicious Chinese joint. Be prepared to take the tasty food outside after paying. Not only is there no seating inside, but you'll want to escape with the bounty, thinking they may have given you way too much food by accident. Don't worry, they didn't – portions are just that huge. N.B. The place is also popular with students who carry the Carnegie Mellon Card. |

In addition, you can expect a courteous, attentive staff and a menu with over 100 tantalizing dishes, from tandoori shrimp to potato-and-garlic naan bread. The dark brown dining area sizzles a spicy red hue late at night as the lights from Atwood Street filter in, reminding you that, as good as the food is, you're not actually on another continent. |
