We had a private event in their private room earlier this week that was anticipated to have 26 attendees. The room was set up awkwardly in the fact that they made one long table even though it made all the chairs way too close to each other. The food was pretty good, especially our desserts and entrees. The service was also fast. When they brought out each course, they had several people bring out the food so the whole party got their dishes within a couple of minutes of each other. They also validate your parking in the attached garage but you should note that it's only for two hours so you may need to pay a small amount after the validation. read more

Birthday reservations for 7:15 on a weekday. Seated immediately. Service was prompt, friendly and attentive. Accommodated outside birthday cake. Appetizers ordered: Oysters on a half shell had a strong fishy taste. They were better topped with the sauces brought on the side. Crispy pork belly had a tasty cheesy bread with it our guests raved about. Crab dip was super thick and was okay. Entrees: Lobster bisque has about 3 or 4 small pieces of lobster visible. Short Rib with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts were very good. Meat was extremely tender and everything was seasoned just right. Husband had the Cioppino dish with shrimp mussels, seafood clams etc. He stated that the dish and sauce was extremely salty to taste. Guests had Rack of lamb and Steak filet. Both told me that they liked the meal but liked their pork belly appetizer more. We had a group of 7 in our party. The bill was split 3 ways. Each of the 3 bills had a 20% gratuity added. Parking lot and garage conveniently adjacent to the restaurant. read more

When my hubby booked a reservation here, I had never heard of the restaurant before, so I was excited to try a place we have never been! Boy, is this place underrated! Upon entering, there was a very loud jazz band playing in the bar area. The bar area was hopping with lots of people at the bar and at tables. We originally were going to sit there so we could hear the music, but it was too loud that we wouldn't be able to talk to each other. We planned on going over to the bar area after dinner to hear the band because they were very good; we just wanted a more intimate dinner at this time. Our waitress was super helpful throughout the night and always made great recommendations to us. She was attentive but not hovering. She gave us the time and space to place our orders and didn't rush us at all! We had an appetizer, entrées, and dessert, and everything was absolutely delicious. We cleared our entire plates and felt pleasantly full in the end without feeling like we overly indulged. Our meal was a nice pace with lots of time to digest, and we ended up spending nearly 2 hours there! I cannot say enough good things about this place. It's underrated and definitely a spot that needs to be on everyone's radar! I cannot wait to come back! Here's the breakdown of our meals: [Crab Dip]: This appetizer was everything that we could want! It was full of crab and caramelized onions and perfectly creamy and paired with charred pita bread! [Caesar Salad]: My hubby LOVES Ceasar salads and gets them everywhere we go! This one had anchovies right on top. The dressing was more oily than usual Caesar dressing, but it was unique and different. My husband loved it! [Cioppino]: This is the dish where the restaurant gets its namesake. It was filled with lots of different seafood and a tomato broth. There were tons of onions that even paired well with my meal. Absolutely delicious! [Pan-Seared Chicken]: Man, chicken is usually a basic meal, but this was anything but basic. The chicken was tender. The risotto was so creamy and flavorful and probably the best risotto I've ever had. The green beans were a nice added touch, but I usually like mine more cooked. Just a preference and not a criticism of how they were cooked. The meal was portioned well, and it was absolutely DELICIOUS! I ate my entire plates. [Sticky Toffee Cake]: This was a recommendation from our waitress, and I'm so glad we tried it! It was a date cake with a caramel/chocolate drizzle and pecans. It was surprisingly warm and super moist and tasty. Totally unique! It also felt very light and not heavy, so it was the perfect addition to the end of the night! Run, don't walk, to this restaurant! You will be amazed at how delicious literally everything is! This has shot up to a top restaurant of mine in Pittsburgh! read more

I've been to Cioppino twice now- both times for their Tuesday evening Oyster Special/Happy Hour. They do a $1 oysters special on Tuesday nights- after a certain hour they are $2- but still can't beat it! The oysters are delicious, I love their mignonette and their hot sauce. I also love their appetizers. The hot crab dip is heavenly, and the caesar salad is refreshing. I always enjoy sitting at the bar here, and chatting with the kind bartenders, as well as getting wine recommendations for my oysters. If you are looking for a treat on a Tuesday evening- or any night really- look no further! read more

We went to celebrate my mom's birthday dinner and had a wonderful experience. Our server was attentive and had a good pace of service. We were in the back room by the kitchen entrance/exit which was kind of distracting, however it was a Saturday night and they were pretty busy. The oysters were my favorite & my burger was good as well. read more

Can I give Cioppino 20 stars? Is that allowed? We went here for Matt's birthday dinner and they knocked our socks off. The service was great, when I made the reservation, they asked if it was for a special occasion, and I let them know about the birthday boy. When they called to confirm the reservation two days before they asked if we'd like a special message in our menus and I said sure! Anything to make a birthday more special. Everyone said happy birthday to him like we were surrounded by family. They even remembered to say it at the host stand when we left almost 2 hours later. We started off with Wagyu tartare and oysters because we are adults and can do what we want. The Wagyu was the star of the show in the tartare, no overlapping flavors here, just beef. The oysters were some of the largest I've had in Pittsburgh, and they were tasty with their home made hot sauce or the mignonette. Main course came out next. I got the sea bass and Matt got the restaurants namesake. Neither disappointed. The sea bass was prepared in a way I've never had it before, with crispy skin? Wow. It was served Oscar style, my favorite, and the crab with the hollandaise and asparagus just sent me into an immediate food coma. We were offered dessert but declined because we were so full. A few moments later, our great server, Olga, came out with a pretty delicious cake, complete with a candle. She didn't sing or make a fuss, and it was so nice of her. Not to worry, we somehow found room for the cake and left ready for bed. Totally recommend for a special occasion night, or happy hour, as my fellow Yelp Elite, Julie, tells me, they do dollar oysters on Tuesday in the lounge! Will definitely be back for that. Happy Eating! read more

Overall very disappointed. Maybe we had our expectations to high based on the presentation of the food and restaurant feel. Service was from the wait staff was perfect. The live music inside was nice. Everything that was supposed to have a crunch or crisp did NOT. Porkbelly was soft on top and overcooked. Crispy duck was the same situation. Creme brûlée the spoon just feel through the top. The Cioppino was bland all of the seafood tasted like it was cooked separately from the sauce and placed in after. None of the dishes were near worth the price. 2 outa 5 not for me my guy. read more

Love it!! First ... best scotch list in Pittsburgh! Loved it! Rock shrimp and polenta - delicious! Seriously! Salads - wedge and beet salad underwhelming. Mussels - seriously these are a star get these!! Special - crab cakes - NOT GOOD - a ton of filler and no flavor. Special - osso buco - delicious and the saffron risotto- AMAZING! Strip steak - ordered medium rare. Received medium well. Ok. Not great. Great service. Great cocktails. Great atmosphere! read more

I like this place, but feel like I always order the wrong thing. I was super excited about my salmon eggs benedict, but didn't realize it was fully cooked instead of lox, which threw me off.

A true local gem located in the historic Strip District.  A seafood, chophouse and bar serving seasonal and fresh bites as well as elegant, homemade cocktails.  They also have a huge wine collection and a cozy cigar bar with tons of whiskey options.  Dine in their dining room, lounge, on the patio, check out the cigar bar or rent their private dining room.  The service is fantastic, and they are extremely friendly, attentive and helpful with choosing the right dish.  Our waitress Alex was amazing- she knows the menu very well. After dinner had a cocktail in the Cigar Bar with Nicole who is amazing! For our meal, they first brought our delicious bread, oil & butter. For our appetizer we tried the steak tartar, which was the first time I had ever had it and it was so good and flavorful. For dinner we did ribeye, broccolini, crab cake, Cioppino platter, Lobster Mac, and wedge salad! Their new menu concept is amazing- you can choose a la cart and family style dishes. Plus they have their own pastry chef- in house, so we had to get dessert- the sticky toffee cake was unreal- made with house vanilla bean whipped cream!!!!! read more

I came here with family for a birthday celebration, and I don't think I'll return. The personalized menu with the birthday message was a nice touch. They have live music creating a calming atmosphere. I also appreciate the fact that everything is made from scratch, but the time and price just weren't worth it. From start to finish, we spent almost 3hrs here for 8 people. The drinks took some time to come out. Bread and dipping oil came awhile (10-15min) after the drinks. My short rib with whipped potatoes and Brussel sprouts were good, but not worth $42. It sounded like I enjoyed my meal the most and mine was on the cheaper side. The dessert sampler was good, and probably the best part of the meal. When we asked for dessert spoons to adequately eat the crème brûlée from the tiny cups, we received a weird response about having to find spoons. Spoons were located; then we were jokingly warned not to take them because apparently people do all the time. Again, not a terrible experience, just one I won't willingly experience again. read more

My first visit in 4 years since pandemic. They have now opened up all sides of the bar/lounge area & added more tables & removed a lot of chairs & couches. They have a 4-6 happy hour. It's $1-$2 off wines, beers & some apps on the bar menu. Definitely even pricier when I was last here in 2019. I dropped $99 including tip on oysters, calamari, prime sliders and happy hour cocktails for just me! But the food is very good, and I had Barcelona Brut Cava (having lived there it was fun to drink this). They still host live music & this was an unusually warm Friday evening with all sides open air & the patio filled. Music by my friends Lori Russo & Key Factor. Don't forget to tip the band! My bartender was obviously new, so she had to ask the male bartender a lot of things, but it was fine. I recommend this for a splurge for happy hour or dinner. read more

We had the pleasure of participating in the first cocktail class at Cioppino and are already looking forward to our next trip. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and so much fun to spend a few hours with. The class was informative and delicious! Each cocktail was paired with an item off the brunch menu. The creativity in each dish was so pleasing to the palate. It offerrd a unique twist on some brunch favorites. The venue is located in the prime strip district right along the railroad and offered easy parking close by. read more

I admit, I was somewhat skeptical based on some bad reviews but was pleased in the end.. We went as a party of four largely for the live band. The band was fantastic! We ordered crab dip (), shrimp cocktail () and Lobster Bisque (). I also ordered the higher end Pino Noir and three glasses of scotch (2 x 15 and 1 x 21 year)...all great! Service was outstanding as well. One in our party said his seafood was just "so-so", thus one star short of five. I went into the cigar bar and it's fantastic (brought my own but the setup is very nice). This is a very good place. It's a little pricey but still worth an occasional visit which I'll make in the future. To the establishment: keep-up the good work...all employees were cordial and very helpful,, this REALLY MATTERS!!! There are multiple specific comments about the seafood needing some work, so work on that and I'll see you again soon! read more

The food is fairly boring and not so great. We tried a few of the appetizers and nothing stood out. The calamari was soggy, the beet salad was uninteresting. The cioppino, their flagship dish, was bland and the seafood in it was overcooked. read more

While staying near the airport and after being tired of the food in that area (it's mostly all pub style food... Fried stuff, burgers, sandwiches, pizza, typical Mexican, etc) I decided to check out downtown and chose this place after seeing many positive reviews online. I drove the 30 mins in traffic there and bellied up to the bar. The vibe was definitely not exciting, rather boring. There was a guy bartending, who was rather slow in his approach and who rarely checked in to see how things were going. I opted for some calamari to go with my wine, while I looked over the menu for dinner options. The calamari came, but I had no silverware not... I guess they don't put out a placemat and service for people eating at the bar automatically when ordering food? The calamari came out and the batter on it was spot-on, perfect! Unfortunately the calamari itself was very rubbery and chewy and the aioli that came with it was flavorless. I hardly ate half of it and based on the poorly-made calamari and the lack of decent service, I decided to head out and find another option for dinner. Maybe they're worthy of the great reviews they have, but that clearly wasn't my experience on this visit. read more

I'm glad this place is still open during Covid times. They do a great job with SOP. Tables are spaced out very well and reservations are required. First time at Cioppino and didn't know whats the best. Cioppino one the menu stood out. Decided to order that. The toast were a little too salty but other than that it's well done. None of the seafood were over cooked. Overall, great ambiance, good service and music. read more

Cioppino - Cioppino - Seafood Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

All in all, Cioppino is solid. Greeted and Seated prompt, friendly. The decor hasn't been updated since opening and thus is kind of dated. We got water right away. Service excellent throughout. Bread service was a huge amount for two folks and the pesto was tasty. Martini was a little watery but still good. Wedge salad was nice - blue cheese dressing was just a scooch under-seasoned but nice and fresh. Cioppino entree was very good - unfortunately for appearance sake the main seasonal fish was tuna which cooks up gray and looks unappealing as such. A little garnish or something would help. But it still was nicely done and tasted really good. Dessert- carrot cake - yummy but enough with the deconstructed desserts! Our lovely server warned me what was coming but come on - three cubes of cake about an inch and a half square, artfully presented with a few wafer thin slices of dehydrated pineapple, and three half-teaspoons of cream cheese icing- it's just a bummer. Cream cheese icing is why carrot cake's delicious. A teaspoon and a half of it is barely enough to be pretty let alone tasty. Petitioning for the return of real desserts! read more

Thanks to another Yelp Elite Squad member's photos, our group of four chose Cioppino for dinner and drinks on a gorgeous Saturday night in The Strip District. They do have a fully outdoor patio area with patio furniture. My preference as direct sun is not my friend, is their bar dining area because they can open the "walls" on two sides and it's like you're outside with the refreshing breeze and open space while inside with a roof over your head. There was also live music in the corner while we dined. There is also a dining room area and cigar bar. I ordered the seared blackened tuna on special that evening which came on a bed of arugula. I skipped ordering one of their al a carte sides that are in my opinion personal sized rather than shareable. We were not given a whiskey and spirits list (I'm not sure they have one) so our waitress had to check with the bar to see if they had our preferred brand and batch. I very much enjoyed my old fashioned but my friend said his was weak. The others ordered beer. As our group is not a collective of wine drinkers, we did not take advantage of their very extensive wine by the bottle list. The ambiance and fellow diners were geared to the more established crowd enjoying good table conversation vs the young loud scene at the establishment on the other side of the block on the Smallman Street corner. It was the right spot for us and we enjoyed our experience there. read more

Cioppino - Special: seared blackened tuna - Seafood Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The service was very good and the staff was friendly. It's a little loud, so at times hard to talk. Very attractive space, though, and nice to have some live jazz music. My husband and I were disappointed in the food. It was as if they forgot to add spices. My husband's 10oz filet had a sauce on it that was just boring. You knew it was there, but it didn't add to the meat. The meat was tender, but also had little flavor. I had the Cioppino and the broth it was in was not very tomato-y, also lacked flavor. The cubes of fish in the broth were tough and over cooked. The other pieces of seafood were ok. The crab dip was very rich, too rich to finish, and lacked crab. The wedge salad was very good, especially the dressing. And the bread & butter was actually very tasty.it was expensive for the quality. read more

This was one of the best dinners ever! I've had lots of friends recommend Cioppino, but I knew it was more expensive and would be best for a special occasion. My boyfriend and I made reservations for our Anniversary. We parked in the Cork Factory Garage that is above the restaurant. We walked in and the hostess wished us Happy Anniversary and seated us in the dining room. The restaurant is really big and the whole right side is the lounge and cigar bar. I know that they have live jazz on that side some nights. The dining room was really nice and upscale without being stuffy at all. Our waiter Drew was the best! We will definitely ask for him again next time. He informed us that it was $1 oyster night and brought us free glasses of champagne. It was really a nice start to our dinner. He also explained that the oysters that night were from Virginia and were briny and salty. I ordered 6 and they were amazing! I loved the spicy mango habanero sauce to put on top. We opened the menus which also had "Happy Anniversary" printed on them. My boyfriend ordered the short rib that came with mashed potatoes, and substituted corn for the brussel sprouts. The portions were huge and the short ribs melted in your mouth. I ordered a glass of Bordeaux that was super earthy- I loved it. For my dinner I ordered the cioppino (I felt like I had to since we were AT Cioppino, right?!) Wow, it was amazing! It was the freshest seafood and Drew poured the tomato broth over it at the table. There was probably a full pound of seafood (fish, crab, clams, mussels, and shrimp) with grilled crusty bread on the side. I ate the whole thing! It was so much, but I knew it wouldn't be as good leftover. We both loved our entrees. For dessert we ordered the sampler. This would definitely be more appropriate for a group of 4+ lol! The creme brulee was the highlight, but it was fun to try a little bit of everything. We plan to go back soon for happy hour in the lounge when they have jazz. read more

I went to dinner tonight at Cioppino expecting a good experience but another disappointing wine list encounter. Turns out the food was good, as expected, and the wine list was much improved from my last visit. We ate from the appetizer section of the menu, a salad with grilled shrimp, lobster risotto, and clam chowder. Everything was good and service was just right. The wine list, which I've criticized since the restaurant opened, has improved, with good variety and fair prices. The live music is an added attraction. It was a very enjoyable date night dinner. read more

I had such high hopes for this place. I came here because it was our anniversary and my bf said how good the food was here. I booked this place months ago, and got a phone call from the wonderful Tressa , who is in charge of catering I think she said, who told me the restaurant was getting renovated. We chatted and she was so nice and had me sooo excited to finally come in and see and eat here. Unfortunately, we were let down. The fish I ordered was so dry, it could have been fish Jerky. The kind server brought it back , but then brought the same.piece without any crab on it. My bf short ribs were cold and they didn't taste very good either. I ordered the dessert , which was small and not tasty either. It was $200 I could have spent somewhere else and enjoyed our anniversary meal. read more

Set up a date night with my fiancé here at Cioppino. Set up the reservation online and then called to inform them after dinner we wanted to go to the cigar bar. Reservations are highly recommended by their website. Years of listening to Mark Madden I really wish I would have taken his advice to go there. This was a from start to finish great experience. Arrived and currently there is no valet parking. There is a garage that they comp you on for two hours when you eat there. The website says valet is available but currently due to covid is not. Arrived for their special menu for Friendsgiving. Was seated immediately and it was not empty but you can tell people are not eating out as much. I ordered the Cioppino which was delicious! The seafood was very fresh. The tomato reduction was delicious on this. She got a steak and when people say they have one of the best steaks in Western pa... they were not wrong. Perfectly cooked and delicious from the piece I tried of hers. After we finished our dinner I had asked when I made my reservation to go to the cigar bar after. They actually remembered that and asked if we were ready to go there. We were the only people in there and the ventilation system was really good. No standing smoke and the room had a great feel to it. We ordered 2 Fall Old Fashions and a Pumpkin tiramisu. I would highly recommend this for a nice date night or a good business meeting. Great experience and we will be back! read more

Great look and feel. Amazing sea food, bland dry over priced mac 'n ' cheese, and great customer service. I told my waitress I was disappointed in my mac, she asked to replace it and took it off the bill which was great customer service. Very classy place and nice clientele. I will say their air filtration system isn't as good as blend's , BUT they have a bigger menu, less pompous clientele, better staff, and cheaper prices on the same cigars. read more

Came in on a Wednesday night for Burger Day. Any burger on their bar menu (I think there are only 5) with fries for $10. I had been seeing (and hearing) Mark Madden rave about the Super Genius Burger for a week and knew I had to try it. We got in a little after 5:00 and had plenty of bar table seating to choose from. The bar was full and lively so it felt comfortable. We were greeted immediately by a friendly waiter who offered drinks. We opted for our beer of choice- Coors Light. They were delivered immediately with glasses of water for a chaser. ;) Our server asked if we were there for Burger Day and he pointed our the bar specials for us to review. I ordered the Super Genius and my wife ordered the Pizza Burger. We had seen them each posted on FaceBook looking mouth watering and wondered how ours would look. The place started to fill up and we ordered our second beers. I'm guessing the burgers took about 40 minutes to come out, which seemed odd because the actual restaurant was empty and I guess the chef waits for several orders to come in before he starts cooking. My burger was exactly as pictured but the fries were a tad greasy- probably because the fryer wasn't hot enough. But the burger made up for it. It's made of 2- 8oz fresh prime beef patties, house cured bacon, blue cheese, sriracha ketchup, bacon jam, lettuce & tomato on a house made bun. Way too big to fit in my, (or anyone else's) mouth all at once, but it was fun to imagine. I started to dismantle it and each bite was delicious. The Pizza Burger came out very similar to the picture- basically a personal pizza created on the top half of your bun and an 8oz prime beef patty beneath creating a mouth watering masterpiece. See my pics. :) This was our second visit and we have been pleased both times. They post a Calendar of Events and have live music Thursdays thru Saturdays. I think our next visit will be on a Tuesday for Dollar Oyster Night. This place could become a regular haunt for us... read more

Husband had wedge salad. I had mixed greens salad with no goat cheese. Main meals were filet with potatoes and bacon plus green beans. Crab cake with green bean casserole and a side of cheesy rosatto. Dessert carrot cake. Cake was only 3 bite size pieces but had a good flavor. Filet was tender.

My husband, my parents, my MIL, and I came here for my birthday. As soon and my husband and I walked in, they immediately greeted me with a "happy birthday" and took us back to our table. (We did not make reservations). We ordered a lot of food so we could try a little bit of everything. Tuesday is $1 oyster night so we ordered a dozen oysters. For starters, we also ordered the crab dip, and the calamari. My dad, hubby, and I all ordered the Cesar salad (option to add anchovies). My mom ordered a wedge salad and my MIL ordered the lobster bisque. For our entrees, my dad and I ordered the Chilean sea bass oscar, my hubby ordered the shrimp and scallops, my mom ordered the mushroom papadelle and my MIL ordered the short ribs. I also ordered the Spicy Dove - I think that's what I was called. It was like a spicy margarita and it was so good. Honestly everything was delicious.

Big Lights! Big City! Nature Boy! WOOOOO! Aside from all that we braved the rain and headed further into the Strip District for a late dinner seating. Driving to the location (well in our case Uber) you kind of wonder where it is- then all of a sudden you're there. They have some parking on the street and the option for valet. We were dropped off like some kids at the mall on a Friday night. Upon entry the place is very upscale- dark wood, dim lights, a lot of attention to detail in every little thing. I would say it is an upscale restaurant so don't attempt to enter dressed like you rolled out of bed. We were sat next to the window in the bar area- which wasn't a bad seat, however there were these really intimate style couches that I wish we could have tried. We opted to order an appetizer of the carb dip which came with homemade saltines. Reminded me of the Cracker chips at the bottom of the bag that they threw on the plate. Dip was very good, garnished with some lemon juice - but the saltines may need upgraded at some point. For the entree I fired on the cassoulet- which was first for me in trying something new. It is made with beans and as anyone who knows me knows- as long as they aren't puréed and refried I can deal. Different mouth feel- but this was very hearty and the sauce was incredible. We passed on dessert- not really able to find anything that caught our attention. I highly recommend it. Well done. read more

My husband and I went to Cioppino Restaurant for our anniversary back in February and we are STILL raving about our experience. Our server was super friendly and asked if we had any questions about the menu. She was happy to explain things and made great recommendations. I ordered the Chilean sea bass Oscar and let me tell you... it was some of the best fish I have ever had. The dish was flavorful and melt in your mouth. I could order that every time and be satisfied! Our dessert was absolutely incredible. We got the sampler of fresh beignets, banana walnut French toast, chocolate covered bacon, chocolate Guinness cake, creme brûlée, and house made turtles. My birthday is tomorrow and I'm thinking of going there just for dessert!! Thank you Cioppino restaurant and cigar bar for a wonderful evening!! read more
