Our first visit and we were very happy with the food and service. It was Restaurant Week so we ordered from that menu and the pasta with wild boar sauce and the duck breast were both wonderful. We started with a delicious mushroom soup and finished with a lemon ricotta cheesecake with blueberry sauce. Service was great and the restaurant is cozy and fun. Great beers and unusual cocktails made it even better! We will return!
I had some sort of Pig Mac from the daily special menu. It was seriously the best sandwich I have ever eaten. It was so good I had to set the sandwich down between bites to savor the taste of each bite. I then had to shake the chef's hand. The wait staff were very professional and prompt with their service. They were able to work with the chef to help find something my 15 month old could eat. You won't be disappointed!
Interesting food selections and a really unique atmosphere turned out to be a lot of fun! The staff were accommodating to our groups seating requests. The food and wine was all really good: I had the asparagus risotto and it was just delicious.
I love this place. I always get a cheeseboard and mezcal margarita. I also got a whisky sour with real egg whites! Tonight we had Asparagus Risotto with Salmon and Elk Loin with potatoes and mushrooms. Everything was great!
AMAZING ATMOSPHERE, delicious food, and vivacious libations! Date Night was upon us and we are extremely happy we chose Carmella’s Plates & Pints! This place has always been amazing with incredible service and the menu is always exquisite. Carmella and her staff are the nicest people and every dining experience there leaves us wanting to come back again very soon. Thank you Carmella, keep up the outstanding work, and congratulations on your 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
I stopped in here while walking in openstreetspgh. I have never been here and this place blew me away. The bar and back seating area are amazing. Beautifully decorated, I was in awe. The staff was also super friendly. Everyone asked me how my day was, I couldn't have felt more welcome. And the egg and bacon sammie was just what I needed to give me energy to finish the walk. I can't wait to revisit this place soon.
Very nice family-owned restaurant with a very unique vibe. The walls are filled with historical images and memorabilia, which gives the vibe of a very cozy cabin. The food is excellent - we had the burrata salad as starter, and the wagyu burger and the scallop pasta as mains. You can bring your own wine (corkage fee is $15) but their drinks, and especially the cocktails, are very good too. I'd definitely recommend the Manhattan. The food menu gives suggestions for what wine pairings would go well with each meal. Will definitely come back again (been there for dinner but also the brunches are also great at Carmella's)
The appetizers and main dishes were absolutely amazing. Delicious flavors and unique dishes. The bartenders, waitress, and hostess were all sweet. Carmella’s has a cozy and welcoming vibe. Would recommend!
Fantastic service, really fun atmosphere with all the wood, exposed beams and the interesting fireplace table. You have to be ok with taxidermy though. The food was fantastic! Decent wines and the whiskey list is just mind-blowing!
Let me start this out by saying the restaurants is literally beautiful and the service is so nice! The entire aesthetic is so gorgeous and really emerges you into a different time period. It has a very speak easy vibe to it. The food was good, the only thing I would say in opposition of it is that I do feel like it is more fancy for fancy sake than taste. Some of the combinations of food seem confusing because they're not super complimentary to each other other than the fact that they sound more gourmet. For example the duck fat french fries. They sound almost like a delicacy when you read it but duck fat is a very fatty in comparison to other meats and it's used with thick steak fries so it gets a very fatty taste to it which wasn't my favorite. I liked the food I just wish the pairings were a little more correlated with the taste. The bread pudding was phenomenal, the salad was so good, there were definitely high highs of the meal just a few things I wasn't the biggest fan of!
Loved this place. Amazing selection of high quality barrel cocktails and wine. Bartenders are awesome. I had the scallop fettuccine, loved it. Bring back the Gnocchi!
I can only rave about Carmella's Plates and Pints. The décor is beautiful, the bartenders are fun and kind, and the food and drinks are more than fantastic. I am always blown away by the food when I come here. The octopus melts in your mouth and all other dishes are phenomenal as well. I recommend coming for both brunch and dinner, or just stop by for a drink and dessert. I'm always happy with my experience at Carmella's.
