Best Wine Bars in East Liberty

Our waiter Greg was incredible. Always checking in on us and even offered to take a picture for us on our Valentine’s Day dinner date. Food was incredible and we had plenty to take home as leftovers. 10/10.

The atmosphere is lively and fun. The food was delicious! You order using a CR code and a server brings it to your table, which is not my favorite way of dining, but the order was correct and the servers were very good. The wine list is extensive, but we ordered draft beers, which were very good. We ordered a garlic-tomato-shrimp appetizer, brussels sprouts, broccolini, and the Chilean sea bass and risotto special. It all arrived at once, so next time we would probably space out our order to have it come in stages. Each food item was exceptionally good, all appropriately hot temperature and very flavorful. The brussels sprouts were a favorite; really crispy and excellent. Would definitely come back.

Right when you walk in everyone is very friendly! We got seated within 5 minutes of our reservation. We went on Valentine’s Day, so they were very busy but managed it very well. The waitress we had was very polite and friendly. She told us about the highlights of the menu and her personal favorites. It was a nice experience to hear the popular recommendations! All 3 courses that we ordered came out in a timely fashion and were absolutely delicious! The lobster crab cake appetizer was definitely amazing! The steak was cooked perfectly and was so tender! The crème brûlée was so light but cooked at just the right temperature and time! Overall, we were very pleased with this restaurant and will most definitely be back very soon!

Delicious food- everything on the menu is worth ordering at least once. Beautiful, classy ambience and kind, attentive staff. This restaurant could make anyone fall in love with pasta. By far my family’s favorite place in the city. We recommend the fusilli & the Caesar salad; both are perfectly-executed modern twists on classic Italian dishes (like everything on the menu). Wonderful experience all around every time we go here. Cannot recommend Alta Via enough— it’s worth all the hype and prices.

I always visit this quaint neighborhood gem when I’m visiting Pittsburgh. This last visit I noticed a significant change in the atmosphere. The noise level was so noticeable different. They added sound baffling to the ceiling and it was wonderful! The whole experience notched up a level to even more enjoyable! I’m really looking forward to my next visit. :)
