Amazing! Heard a lot about 424 Walnut from friends so thought we would give it a try. Sooooo glad we did and we will be back. My wife is gluten free and they are so accomodating. Found out the crab cakes have NO bread or filler so she anxiously ordered them. Excellent choice. So tasty and full of crab....big chunks! I had the veal chop milanese and it was tremendous. Just spicy enough and huge portion. Oh yeah....greens and beans with hot sausage as an appetizer was best I've had in a while. Give this place a try....we will CERTAINLY be back! read more

Someone my grown daughter knows put us into this restaurant located at 424 Walnut in the town of Sewickly, Pennsylvania (in Allegheny County). It's a small bar looking street restaurant from the outside. It's food happiness quotient is extraordinary. It is maybe 40' deep by 35' wide, with a bar up the left wall. After that are 3 up-doen rows of banquet table rows with facing chairs It's ambiance is urban chic with the expected sounds of happy diners Our server, Alexia (more later on) said apps were good for two We got 2, as we were 4. Jumbo Lump Crab Hoelzel served in a stem glass. Light fresh and put a great taste in your mouth. Mussels in Provencal renderings. Sort of a mild herbal butter. Delightful! Main courses Two Chicken Penne,smelled wonderful and those eating said great things about it Veal Shrimp and Peppers. Looked heavenly and the one ordering said great words. I got Veal Piccata Extra thin medallions soft enough to cut with a fork. One of the sides were soft small potatoes that were so extraordinary that I needed to tell our server,Alexia. She was a most hospitable, lively and knowledgeable server If nearby, go there read more

Such a great restaurant! The waiter named JR is the best! We had so much fun and the food was spectacular! I had the pork chops with a baked potato and squash. It was SO delicious! Highly recommended and make sure to sit in JR's section! read more

Consistently one of the best dining experiences in Pittsburgh. Newly renovated. Highly recommend.

Excellent crab cakes, attentive service, classy setting. All seven of us enjoyed the dining, wine, service and ambience.

Food is always amazing! Staff is friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is relaxed! Would recommend every time!

Good service. Long Island ice tea is a good promotion. Cauliflower appetizer was excellent

My 2.5 year old and I visited for a lovely lunch on a Tuesday. It was busy but the restaurant has a very relaxed atmosphere. Our server was very friendly and attentive. My son had the chicken salad sandwich that he devoured and I very much enjoyed the crab salad wrap. French fries were crispy and delicious and while I appreciated the heirloom tomato wedge on the field greens salad, it definitely could have benefited from the addition of any other vegetables. The lonely cucumber slice and tomato wedge made it more of a giant pile of field greens as opposed to a salad. Heck even some seeds or something would have been greatly appreciated. But at least it wasn't iceberg lettuce!! Decor is lovely, I feel like they've remodeled since the last time we visited? It's a very enjoyable place for lunch. read more

424 Walnut was absolutely fantastic. The service, the food and the atmosphere was wonderful and made me look forward to the next time. Our server was welcoming and helped guide us through their terrific menu. All of our dishes were delicious. The owner was there to talk to customers and make you feel like you were in his house and enjoying a great meal. It really was a great dining experience. I especially recommend the beans and greens and stuffed banana peppers. read more

Stopped in with my sister for lunch. She had broiled scrod. I had the Delmonico. Both were fantastic. The service was great. The price is great for the quality of food. read more

Friendly and efficient wait staff. Varied lunch menu. Pleasant setting. Generous portions. Really good coffee! Only issue: hallway into restroom opens into kitchen...not good. And floor was wet. read more

424 is so good! We love pretty much everything on their menu! Fun environment too if you want to grab dinner with a few friends!

Not a great night for service or food. I thought we would give it another shot, but left disappointed once again. There are many other places I'd rather spend my $$$$. read more

Five star all the way! Food, quantity, quality, presentation, wait staff, decor, music, selections, can't say enough good things. A tad expensive for a lunch, but spend the $$, you won't be disappointed. read more

The waiter was hard working and attentive. He was very helpful when we were selecting wine and the day's specials. Their crab cakes were amazing but the steak was salty and over cooked, therefore dry. I asked for medium rare and it came out almost like medium well. I had a bite of their seafood risotto and that was delicious. Kind of wished I had ordered that one instead of the steak. The restaurant is located in a cute neighborhood. Inside was quiet enough that we were able to have conversations sans shouts or pardons. read more

Overpriced and long wait which seems to be the signature for 15143 which was once a reputable place. This food can easily be made from ingredients bought at Aldi. People here need to stop acting like they are anything special and ripping people off for mediocre products. read more

Simply outstanding food and service Menu changes weekly with new specials Homemade deserts to die for like chambord cheesecake

4 for food, 2 for service. Server seemed disinterested and slightly irritated to be serving us. It did get pretty busy, so I will give a slight benefit of the doubt for that. Food did arrive quickly after ordering and the decor was beautiful. read more

Have eaten here several times...great food and service. American cuisine and offers Italian features. The only reason I give 3 stars is if your going to offer Italian dishes please learn how to make a cappuccino...the Cap is horrible at best. If you call a Cap a couple shots of espresso with a little bit of warm milk...then please google "How to make a Cappuccino". If you don't want to make it correctly then don't offer it. read more

424 Walnut - Horrible version of a cappuccino. Please take note to illustration of a correct cappuccino. - Italian Near Me - Sewickley, Pennsylvania

I love this place. The owner was extremely on top of things and very friendly. Every time we have been here, I get the delmonico. Always. It's delicious and the little fat that's on it is always crispy. The service is awesome as well. read more

Met an old friend for dinner here and the place is cute, small but not too small and had a charming atmosphere. All except our waiter, who was rude, seemed bothered and was far from charming! There were five of us and none of us are too demanding but starting with the drink order, it went downhill from there. I like a specific alcohol and I know how I like it. No other bartender or server has had an issue with the way I order. This guy, was a different story. He gave me a look that was indignant. Eh...no bother...I'll brush that off. But, each time he came to the table, he was rushing us and was ready to remove plates before we were even finished. Not good. However, the food was spectacular. Each of us ordered something different..salmon...lamb...burger...chicken risotto...and steak salad. All of us were very pleased with our meals. The Food = 5; Atmosphere =5; Service= 3...that's why the 4 rating. Just avoid the big guy...you'll love it! read more

So, I heard great things about 424 Walnut, which is why we decided to go there for my birthday dinner this year. It was not so great. We got the halloumi and vegetables, they were good, although a little burnt. I got the scallops which came with potatoes, salad, and broccoli slaw (cooked) The first scallop was fine, it tasted good, good texture, the second made me gag. Something was wrong with them. I didn't eat any more than the one and 1/4. My stomach was upset for the rest of the night, and I just opened the togo container and it smells like something died in there.... No bueno The broccoli slaw was literally the kind of broccoli slaw they sell at giant eagle, cooked, and completely a mushy mess. GROSS The potatoes were so salty I thought I would choke on them. The salad was blah. I wish the waiter would have told us that we could choose from the other salads, but he only told that to the table behind us after we had ordered. The key lime pie was delish, but not good enough to make up for the terrible other food. Oh and on another note. I was served my dinner and had to ask for a fork 3 times before someone actually remembered to bring me one. read more

This is one of the best restaurants in Pittsburgh! A friend introduced me to this place and I will be sure to come back! We had a hard time choosing entrees because EVERYTHING looked so good. We had the stuffed banana peppers for starters. It was stuffed with veal and had the most authentic Italian sauce....I wanted to eat it all day. The soup special was a cream crab and sausage which was such perfection that I asked if the chef could make it in batches for take out. Literally, the best soup I've ever had. We followed that by the duck confit salad with strawberries and balsamic. The duck was cooked perfectly! Next we had the charred Delmonico...again, cooked to perfection. At this point the owner comes over to talk to us and I was impressed with his love and passion for food. He said "If I give someone an amazing dish they will be loyal to me forever." He was right, I am in love with this food! Before we left, stuffed to the gills, he brought us a piece of the -housemade- Blackberry, Chocolate, Chambord cheesecake. At that point I decided that the next visit was going to be a dessert tour of 424 Walnut. Yuuuum. Well done. Well done. read more

Nice decor. Good prompt service. Had a crab salad wrap that came with crisp french fries and a couple of fresh strawberries. Enjoyed the crab wrap. read more

Came here for a girls night with drinks and dinner and I absolutely loved this place! You could tell our server was very experienced, while also being friendly and accommodating - the owner even came around a few times to ask if we needed anything. Our table got salads and their crab cakes - all of which were great. I would definitely come back here for multiple reasons! Great spot in Sewickley! read more

Outta towner's getting food to-go. Salads and soup were perfect for a cold rainy night. But, dessert was off the charts. Had bread pudding and the marscapone cheesecake. Cheesecake was probably the best we have EVER had, anywhere. And we do cheesecake. Thank you 424 Walnut for coming through with flying colors of cheesecake. read more

If you haven't been to this restaurant you need to go!! I can't even begin to tell you how awesome the food, service and owner is at this place. I was in town for 4 nights and ate at this place 2 of the 4. If I would have found earlier I probably would have eaten here every night!! read more

Late Saturday afternoon, 4ish, last minute decision to try it for an early dinner. Greeted at the front door by a sign "use back door" and an employee waving us away from the door. Walked around the building on a snow/ice packed sidewalk to get to the rear door. Greeted by a dumpster and smoking employees. Asked why no front door entrance and was told it lets too much cold air into the space. Hmmm, curious. 5 other people in the restaurant but was told by the server that they were surprised we were even seated. Said there were 104 reservations for the hour between 5-6. Hmm, ok. Daily special insert included in the menu was dated for yesterday. When I asked I was told they use the same specials on Friday and Saturday. Hmm, not what the special list indicated. Service, quality of food was average. Next time I decide to have a spontaneous dinner, it will be elsewhere. read more

I went to 424 Walnut last night for a birthday dinner with my boyfriend and had an amazing meal with excellent customer service! The atmosphere was friendly and quaint, the layout is accommodating for anything - intimate dinner, larger groups, or just hang out around the bar. I will definitely be back soon! My boyfriend had a Caesar salad and the stuffed salmon and I had the steak salad, and we split the toasted coconut pie, everything was delicious! The homemade salad dressings were great and the portions were generous. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable, he made great recommendations off the menu and wine list. They also had a great selection of seasonal craft beers on tap. read more

Excellent food. Good service. Nice variety menu. Well worth the price. Although reservations are required, we got in; no problem. Issues with finding parking on the weekend. read more

We have eaten here before and enjoyed our meal. Tonight - not at all. The server took our drink, appetizer and salad order, never came back for our entree order. The salads came first, then the appetizer. One half hour later we finally got her attention for our entree order. Veal Marsala was tasteless And the veal was tough. When the bill came my husband was charged $2.50 for ice in his Makers Mark (the same ice cubes that were in our waters!). I ordered an Old Fashion and was charged for the ice cubes and the bitters that is an ingredient for that drink! My husband spoke to the manager who said he would take the 2.50 off one drink. When the new bill came it was actually one dollar more!! Done with that one. read more

Tip: call and make a reservation. Sometimes during the weekend this place is packed! There is bar seating though, so even if you call ahead you can ask the hostess if it's packed. My experience: It is pretty good! I've been here twice and have ordered a special twice. Last time I was here they had Delirium Tremens on tap so I was a super happy camper. This time, no luck but I'm still happy with the selection. No real cocktail list and I was told they're working on creating a wine list. There is supposedly a list on the chalkboard by the bar but it isn't legible at all. I stuck with beer because they have a list that is legible. I ordered the queen size prime rib (HUGE) medium rare (a special on the menu) with a sweet potato and French onion soup to start. The French onion soup was pretty good. Be sure to ask for some bread on the side. They have a tasty sourdough excellent for dipping. I have always received excellent service here. Our waiter was pretty nice. The owner, Joe, is great. Had a conversation with him. Very attentive. I would definitely come back and invite a couple of friends!!! Hidden gem. read more

Best dinner ever!! Hats off to the chef. Homemade deserts!! Ohhh my! So full...I'm going to roll home. Went back again 4/16 mainly for the key lime pie the lamb chop was unbeatable read more

Great night out with friends here in Sewickley! The food at 424 Walnut is really unparalleled in the village. We started with veal meatballs, beans and greens, and the stuffed banana peppers--delicious across the board. For entrees, I had the seafood enchiladas recommended by our server. Awesome! My husband had the sea bass (which I tasted). Wow! The glaze--and perfectly cooked! Our friends had the stuffed salmon and the crab cakes which they enjoyed very much. Homemade chocolate peanut butter and key lime pies for dessert. Yum! Our sever J.R. was funny and attentive. We actually shut the place down chatting with our friends we haven't seen in a while. The staff was so kind and accommodating from start to finish. So glad to hear the ownership is taking over and revamping another (now closed) Sewickley establishment. read more

What a mixed bag! The sausage chowder was truly amazing and the chicken parm was way above average BUT. Bathroom was scuzzy without tp. Waiter lacked most social skills. Complained about theater goers who only order appetizers and don't make him any money. Then he pointedly stood between our booth and the one across the aisle where we had a quiet, friendly conversation going on because he wanted our immediate attention. Major choice to make down the road. Opt for very pricey but good food and hope for different server and better bathroom or just go to the many other Sewickley options. Maybe 'take out' is the answer. read more

I've been here once as a destination for dinner and once as a final stop in a progressive dinner for dessert. I don't recall what I ate the first time, only that my friend and I were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed the atmosphere and the meal. And please don't mistake that for an underhanded compliment; it's just that neither of us had eaten there before and didn't know anyone else who had either, so we had little to no expectation. The more recent visit for dessert blew me away. I didn't eat dessert last time, but in my quest for somewhere in Sewickley where we could get it, 424 was the only place that I was confident in having some sort of offering because, strangely, not a lot of the restaurants in this town do. Anyway, we took a seat and asked after the desserts, and were pretty blown away by the selection, the fact that most (maybe all) were made in-house, and then when ours came out, they were incredible. We both had cheesecakes, my friend opting for the marscapone and I for the peanubutter chocolate. Mine was so good, it was all I could do to stop halfway and bring the rest home for another evening, because the slice was quite generous. As for the atmosphere, it's nice. There's a bar, and everything is in a dark-stain wood. The restaurant cuisine skews Italian/Mediterranean, and it's nicely done. I think that perhaps it suffers a tiny bit from being a little off the beaten path--that is to say, not right on the main drag of Beaver or Broad St. But that shouldn't deter anyone, really. I'll keep this in mind the next time I'm looking to go out for a sit-down meal in the Village. read more

424 Walnut - Peanutbutter cheesecake - Italian Near Me - Sewickley, Pennsylvania

Will absolutely be back!! Best lamb we have had, ever. And service was on point. First time there. We walked in to celebrate a special nite and was going to leave because it was a touch loud but we were convinced to stay. We were seated in a booth that somehow did eliminate the noise! The waiter, Paul, really knew his stuff, was personable, I can't say enough positive about how he took care of us. Had the wild mushroom soup and meatballs to start. Lamb, prime rib , crab cakes main course. And I think it was a caramel cheese cake for desert. All very tasty. 424 walnut has both service and food perfect. read more

So, I was a little skeptical coming to some little place 'in the middle of nowhere', but sometimes those little hole in the wall places are some of the best. As soon as we (my mom and I) came in the door the staff politely greeted us and brought us two a nice little booth. Throughout the entire course of the meal, the staff was attentive and proactive in checking on us to see if we were satisfied or needed any refills as well. And now I'll talk about the food. Here's what my mom thought: The Italian meatball soup was amazing and so filing. Also had the largest chicken Caesar salad which was also amazing. And to top it off a nice White Russian hit the spot. Great place, great food and wonderful service and staff! A must if you're visiting Sewickley!!! My thoughts: I really just had a mixed greens salad which was pretty good, but I'm not really used to all that high class stuff. The Italian Chicken Breast I had was EXCELLENT! You know food is cooked well when you can taste each of the ingredients playing off one another, and I definitely could with this one! Overall, the service, food, and atmosphere were amazing!! read more

I occasionally have business meetings in Sewickley so I figured I'd try this place out for lunch while I was there. It was rated well on Trip Advisor and appeared to have a good menu. PROS: Nice atmosphere and comfortable seating, especially at the high top bar area tables. The steak salad and seafood soup was delicious. CONS: I was the first patron to walk in on a Friday at 11:15. They open at 11. The owner or manager was at the hostess station and did not acknowledge me (he actually has his back to me upon entering and standing there) as he was busy fiddling around with his phone. The bartender finally came over and seated me. The waitress was nice, but it took awhile to get her attention to actually have her take my order; at least 10 minutes and by this time there was only ONE other table of three people in the entire restaurant. My food came and she was nowhere to be found so I had to ask the bartender for silverware. Really? That should have been placed when I was seated. The service was a bit slow considering another waitress was added during lunch time and only a few other tables of people were now seated. There is also only one bathroom and apparently the lock sticks as I heard while I was using the facilities and a man kept pulling on the door despite me stating, "someone is in here." I think it is overpriced for what you're getting, especially if you go at lunch time. I might go back. read more
