Although the tables are spaced pretty tight, but the patrons are very considerate. Service - Our server was friendly, attentive and helpful. Food - come for the wine and stay for the food. The wine menu is deep and broad with plenty of quality wines to suit your preferences. The food menu is very limited with regard entrees (3 pasta choices), but their pasta is very good. There are ample options for small plates and appetizers. I ordered the Spaghetti ala Vodka. Overall - even if you are not a fan of wine, this restaurant should be on your list to frequent. The food, service, portions and prices are all very good.

There is inside and outside seating as well as some bar seating. The decor and atmosphere are interesting. Our server was super friendly and reminded us happy hour was over in 10 minutes, so we quickly looked at the drink menu and ordered. They have lots of drinks!!!! I settled on a lemon blueberry martini and it was good. The food menu is very limited, but being that Italian is my favorite, I was a happy camper. 4 of us shared the arancini, which was not my favorite. I order this often when I am out and this one was dry and I didn't care for the prosciutto and cheese in the middle. For my entree, I settled on the spaghetti and meatballs which arrived steaming hot which I love. There were 3 huge meatballs which had a nice little spice to them. The sauce was good and the portion size was perfect. No room for dessert. Overall, a good evening

Great service too. Staff was super attentive and friendly, had some great recommendations. Food presentation was top notch. The restaurant is small and cozy, allowing for privacy but casual enough where you can be relaxed and informal. We tried the devils on horseback, stuffed mushrooms, meatballs, and crab cakes and every dishes was outstanding, would definitely order again. This place did not disappoint - we will definitely be back when we come back through Pittsburgh.

This is rare I leave a bad review…read more Went in for the first time for 2 drinks. I asked if they had a specialty cocktail menu, waitress advised no, but she could make whatever I wanted. She offered to make a chocolate martini I said ok that sounded good. My husband ordered a beer. Two minutes later. The waitress came back, and asked what we wanted to order. We were so confused . We ordered again acting like she didn't just take our order 2 minutes ago. I actually ended up changing my order and asked if they had a "house" pilot grigio. She said yes. She asked if we were going to order food and we said just drinks tonight. 5 minutes pass and she brings a large appetizer to our table. I said we didn't order this. She asked if we talked about it though . We said "no" we were never ordering food. I was so taken back by this experience I wanted to cash out after our drinks. I headed to the bar and asked for our bill. We were going to leave cash and leave because the whole situation was very uncomfortable. (Thinking 20 would be enough for the drinks and tip) We finally get the bill and the house wine is on there along with the beer. The total was $37 for 2 drinks. How can a house wine be $17 for a glass? As we left, the whole situation didnt sit right with me. I called later to ask how much a glass of house wine was and the person that answered stated $9.

Having lived for decades in food mecca, San Francisco, combined with my husband's time in Marbella, we are spoiled when it comes to Spanish food and wines. As my husband puts it, "These people know what they are doing" Everything we have had has been excellent. When we did have a minor snafu, our sever, the effervescent, polite, and accommodating Reese, brought in his manager Jesse M. who remedied our situation beyond our expectations. We definitely will be back, again, and again, and again.

The decor was cute with lots of lights and several inflatable decorations like a Rudolph and a snowman. The cocktails were surprisingly pretty good! The Cornelius's Coquito was genuinely delicious and well balanced and while the Sugar Cookie Martini was on the sweet side, it was delightful. I also really enjoyed the refreshing Prancer's Peppermint Tea. The bartender who made our drinks was pretty nice and was very fast and efficient.

The skyline views and the retractable glass roof of this downtown spot are definitely cool, the…read moreoverall experience at Il Tetto usually ends up feeling pretty average. It's a decent spot if you just want to grab a quick drink from their massive list of draft beers, local ciders, or casual cocktails, and maybe snack on some fried mozzarella or a meatball hoagie while you hang out. The biggest drawback is that the service can be a bit of a gamble. There are times when it's noticeably slow and less than adequate, especially when it gets crowded on weekends. It's a fine place to grab a scenic drink if you're already in the Cultural District, but it's definitely more about the rooftop view than top-tier service or food.

On a whim, I decided to walk back to the hotel from some sights in the Mexican War Streets neighborhood. As I passed by this boisterous street, I looked up, saw the wine bar, paused, and walked in without a second thought. I easily grabbed a seat at the bar and the folks working were so nice and friendly! I was there solo and they didn't treat me any differently than larger groups, which I so appreciated. I tried the rose and loved it so much that I bought a bottle to go. Brought it back home and indulged! If I'm ever in Pittsburgh again (which I will be), I know I'll be stopping back here.

It is a very open space and there is even window to the street that lets in air and light. There are a ton of unique drink options and a small list of bites to go with them. I love that they have a "bartenders choice" option where you tell the bartender what your likes, dislikes and tastes are and they create something for you. I will definitely need to try that on a future visit. This time, I tried the cool handed cuke because I am a sucker for anything cucumber. It was flavorful and a perfect spring/summer drink. It didn't taste overly strong which craft cocktails sometimes can. I sat at the bar and service was attentive but not over the top. They knew I came alone but weren't weird about it (you'd be surprised how many places think it is the strangest thing that you would drink or dine somewhere alone). I'd love to come back here with some girlfriends or even as a date night with my husband.
