Ivan Nekrasov Wonderful service, food and amazing views. We have a team dinner after a corporate event and it was worth every penny. Highly recommend. Food was delicious, views were simply stunning with the city scape changing every few minutes as the sun went lower and lower changing reflections and colors. Our team arrived and stayed a little late and the staff were extremely patient, friendly and professional ( Rich and Kate) provided great service and hospitality!

Michael Steiner Exquisite service and food at Morcilla pittsburgh. The creativity of the menu, to my mind, makes Morcilla one of the best in greater Pittsburgh. The chef and team deserve a Michelin star. Bravo Bravissimo Michael & Hanna

Alexandra Jackson Came here for Restaurant Week and had an absolutely amazing experience. Our server, Julie, was fantastic. The food was incredible, between my group we tried the entire RW menu and loved all of it. The chefs put a lot of hard work into this menu and it absolutely shows. Presentation was beautiful, the food was delicious, I genuinely cannot recommend it enough. My favorite was the stuffed donuts, they were incredible. Had a raspberry martini that was also delicious, I could’ve easily had 3 more if I didn’t have to drive home. Overall I had a great experience and will absolutely be back for events like this.

William Cramer We stopped in after the Steelers game yesterday and were seated quickly. Nya was our server and she was great! She was attentive and very personable. I got the Buffalo chicken wrap with a salad and my wife got the Santa Fe wrap with black bean salsa. The food was great and Nya checked in periodically to see if we had everything that we needed. We will definitely be back.

John Peterson I was in town 4 days ... visited this place 4 times. Great bar for a before game drink, other patrons were from all over so great place for chit chat. Beer was cold and food was very good. Suggest trying their signature item - steak cooked on a hot stone.

marjorie thibodaux Good selection. Great bar with wall of sports options playing on variety of televisions spanning across the wall. Selection of smoked foods was a A+ option. Food came fast and was hot and fantastics. Pickles were spicy and fantastic! Definitely come back soon!

Alejandro Caceres Amazing experience at Fogo de Chão! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming. The atmosphere was lively and perfect for a night out or special occasion. Sergio, the manager, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and made us feel truly cared for. The Gauchos Flavio, Linder, and Bruno were fantastic. Every cut of meat was perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. Their friendly personalities and great energy made the whole experience even better. The salad bar and sides were fresh and delicious, with so many great options to pair with the meats. Between the food, service, and atmosphere, Fogo de Chão is a place I’ll definitely be coming back to. Highly recommend!

Kanchan Sharma Cool ambience, good food and side dishes, I tried the Korea bbq tacos , refried beans rice with a beer . It was really great. They open till 11 on a Monday which worked perfect for me as the city was midway of my destination. Great service. Definitely check it out if it falls in your transit. Aaron was really cool with everything . Definitely try it out !!

Trottier Kazia The service I experienced was prompt and kind. My sangria was spiced, excellently. The no pink, applewood smoked bacon, American cheddar, leaf lettuce, pickles, with a tomato and mayo. Mouth-watering. You should go here.

Courtney Mattey We stopped here for an early dinner prior to seeing a show, and we would recommend a reservation because even at an earlier dinner time on a Saturday, it got busy quickly! When planning a stop here, consider the show schedules in the Cultural District as the busyness of the restaurant and the area itself are heavily impacted by shows and events. The menu offers a large variety of plates, ranging from sandwiches to full steak dinners and tasting menus for larger parties. For an early dinner, my husband and I stuck to sandwiches. Our waiter also gave us a complimentary chimmi churri flight as it was our first time visiting, and the red pepper was the best one by far! The service was great, and when we asked for recommendations, our waiter did an excellent job of walking us through the menu and giving recommendations based on both what tends to be most popular in each section, but also what he enjoys and appreciates. I had the braised beef sandwich, and the flavors and tenderness of the beef were stunning, I can see why it’s listed as the #1 guest favorite on the menu! My husband had the steak burger (which is cooked on the wood fire grill), and we were impressed with the flavor that the wood grill brought to the meat. He noted that having more than two choice toppings included would be nice (he added some of the red pepper chimmi churri), but fewer toppings does let the wood grilled flavor shine. The meat quality is really outstanding, the only critique we have is that for around $20 for a sandwich, we would hope the included side options would be a bit more stand-out (you can opt to get a salad instead of chips if you prefer). We don’t typically get dessert at restaurants, but the pionono caught our eye, and it was worth it. It’s a more unique flavor combination and profile, but it’s delicious and the cake has a lovely texture. The seasonal fruit topping we had included raspberries, strawberries, and vanilla. As far as unique elements go, the red pepper chimmi churri and the pionono were the parts of the meal that stood out to us most, but our meal was good quality over all, and we’d recommend considering Gaucho Parrilla Argentina the next time you’re near the Cultural District.

Mario Alex Gonzalez Absolutely delightful dining experience. The whole concept of a restaurant in an old train station is incredibly unique and makes for a visually extravagant vibe that keeps you enticed with its architecture. On top of the awesome atmosphere, the food is simply spectacular. I highly recommend the crab cakes, or any of their seafood options as they are incredibly fresh and well prepared. Nothing let me down and i was happy with the price to portion ratio. Great place to have dinner in the Pitt area.

Carly Alcaraz The best meal and dining experience I have ever had as a celiac with MANY other allergies! (Allergic to yeast, nightshades, can’t have potatoes or rice too) My husband made a note on our reservation that I was celiac and I let them know just in case. The manager came out and walked me through everything, said he had family with celiac so he understands the seriousness of it. He told me how to order the desserts to be gluten free (ex: passion fruit mousse, can be made with no graham cracker crust) he told me I can have all of the meats except for the spicy ones. He said they religiously put the spicy meats on the bottom racks specifically so no cc. He also specifically told me that the fried bananas are in their own dedicated frier, I’ve seen a lot of mixed reviews on that part. But as of December 2025 I can tell you they are safe to eat! I tried pretty much everything that he said I could have and I didn’t have a SINGLE reaction to any of the food. I’m saying this as someone who does NOT go out to eat, ever. I can’t. But I heard this place goes above and beyond and took a chance and WOW am I glad I did. Also got the creme brûlée for dessert, insaaaaanely good! If you have allergies and want to feel safe somewhere, THIS is the place! Pricey? Hell yeah. But the peace of mind and the ability to eat out made it a night to remember and I can’t recommend it enough. Already planning on going back for my wedding anniversary!
