Pamela’s
– Diner, Shadyside
Pamela’s is a fun
blast from the past type place. Here they really stick with the old style diner
atmosphere and food. You get huge amounts of food for what you pay, which is
extremely satisfying. Although, if you are the type of person who doesn’t like diner
food because it’s too liberal in its use of butter and grease, then this isn’t
the place for you. Other than that it’s darn good. Beware though, since it’s
very popular with the city you may have a line to wait in before getting a
table.
Toast
- Wine Bar, Shadyside
I was excited to try
this place, but I was let down. It’s supposed to be an upscale bar and
restaurant, and I just got an appetizer, but what you get is WAY overpriced
food with TINY portions. The bar is a typical overpriced bar, nothing special. I’m
not a big fan of buying a simple mixed drink and paying $10+ for it in Pittsburgh, PA, even if
that is typical in other cities. If I was happier with the food prices and portion sizes I
would say this place may be good for a romantic evening out, but since I am
unhappy with these things, I just can’t. In the words of a friend - this place is pompous, not fancy.
Alexander’s
– Italian food, Little Italy (Bloomfield)
This is a cute place
that could be a nice night out. They have some lovely lights strung outside to
make the mood. They have a wide array of pasta options and then you choose your
sauce. The service was nice, and I believe it was very affordable. Overall, we
were very happy with the place, but it isn’t a spot to go if you want to
experience something new or exciting. The only thing different they have is the different
sauces, but their standard dishes of pasta are tasty.
