|
|
|
| |
Description:
STRIP DISTRICT. This beloved chain of steakhouses bills itself as "Home of Serious Steaks," and one visit will tell you that's more than a marketing slogan. Steaks are known for their sizzle, achieved by a dollop of butter when removed from the oven; your choice cut will still be sputtering when placed in front of you. Not for calorie-counters, but for true steak lovers, Ruth's Chris is also known for great service, an extensive wine list, and an atmosphere of comfortable elegance. Located in PPG Place in downtown Pittsburgh. |

Description:
OAKLAND. Union Grill's sign boasts "Honest American Food," and the "honest" part is that everything is brought in fresh daily from local markets.

The bar tends to stay open later than the grill's listed hours. |

Aiello's Pizza |
|
(Restaurants - American) |
|
2112 Murray Ave, Pittsburgh 15217 • 412-521-9973
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Description:
SQUIRREL HILL. Famous for its competition with neighboring shops, Aiello's "slings pies" using a no-nonsense approach. One of the owners, Pete, often chats with customers, and although he's good at small talk, don't let him distract you from the mouthwatering homemade sausage that's used on pizzas crafted with thick dough and smothered in cheese. After all, it's the food that gives this joint its well-deserved place on the list of Pittsburgh's best pizza parlors. |
