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.

Very eclectic atmosphere. Dined upstairs in a private room. Seems to have been built into an old home in the South Side. Mostly everything I ate was delicious with appealing presentation ( steak was not cooked to my liking but that's ok). Bourbon selection is mind-blowingly vast and will require many trips to make a dent in the varieties. The stairs to the upstairs are very steep with a small tread so be very cautious. There is a public parking lot next door which was very convenient.

Great vibe, yummy burgers, just a tiny bit too high priced. Our first table was next to the door going outside from a delivery door and cold air was unsettling until we requested to move. The kitchen also messed up our order by putting bacon on the wrong burger, but it turned out well. Wagyu burger was better than the bison burger but the bison burger went really well with bacon. Amount of fries is tiny with the dish, definitely an afterthought more than anything. Cheesecake was a great rich ricotta with a tart cherry.

We couldn’t have had a better experience, or picked a better place to dine. My partner and I had our first date night in over a year and a half. Our server, Tabitha I believe, was absolutely PHENOMENAL. She is very friendly and I would have given her 100% tip if I could have. The cocktails were amazing, I had the Lovely Lady first which consisted of Strawberry Vodka, fresh sours and lemon peel. I secondly had the Strawberry Jalapeño Margarita, which is a house made infusion, and it was stunning. If you like a little heat, it’s definitely a must have. My partner had the Whiskey Sour, which was frankly the best he’s ever had, he said. Outstanding flavor. We had the Brussel sprout small plate, which had goat cheese and bacon, and a super yummy thyme malt vinegar additive as well. For an entree, we shared the Butter Poached Lobster & Shrimp which was paired with a Chardonnay risotto, with asparagus and fennel. The flavors were just…. CHEFS KISS. We finished the night with an espresso martini and the ricotta cheesecake. Which were obviously also amazing. This place is a gem!

Tasty food and good drinks. Food was tasty and well seasoned. Good selection of beer, lots of cocktails to choose from (a variety of infused liquors) and a huge selection of whisky, bourbon, scotch and tequillas to try as well. The place has the ambiance of a centuries old inn, with huge wooden beams, taxidermy animals (giant moose heads includef), stained glass windows, and a fire in the middle of the dining area. All in all a great restaurant, would go again for sure.

cool vide, great service and good food. We had a large group and waitress was great. We had a bunch of different food and all was delicous. We had a bison and waygu burger, roasted chicken, steak, lobster and shrimp risotto, and desserts a filling meal for sure.
Lara Vernon
Most incredible whiskey selection I've seen! Super rare bottles, and reasonable prices! Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Loved it!

A favorite place for awesome drinks & food. Excellent ✨️

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!

We were there on NYE and had the best dinner. The hanger steak is other worldly, and they make the best old fashioned in town.
But the brunch is spectacular. In 2 months this place has become a go to for every family dinner or brunch. We love it!
Debbie Nedeau Woodford
First time here! It was absolutely wonderful. I would highly recommend the brunch. Looking forward to coming back for happy hour one evening.
Carmella’s breakfast was delicious,peppered bacon, sausage, French toast, apple caramel French toast too. My whiskey � sour and Bill’s Bloody Mary was perfect.
Dwayne Platt
What an awesome place. Top shelf drink choices, huge selection of craft beers as well as spirits (holy tequila/bourbon/scotch collections!), and incredible ambience. Definitely will be at the top of my list whenever I'm in the city!
Hector Constantino
The 5☆ rating is based solely on my experience with the bartender and barstool seating. I can't attest to the cuisine or food presentation. As for drinks and spirits, an exceptional variety is available. Rivals the best NYC bars. I ordered whiskey sours and were on par with best whiskey sours in London. All fresh juices and the egg white to boot. That makes Carmellas Plates & Pints 5☆ rating well deserved! Next time I'm back in Pittsburgh...
Brian Atallian
This place is amazing. Everything from the Pappy to the owner. The burger is a must have and Jaimee is the best bar tender ever.
Tina Forrest Cornell
First time to Carmella's yesterday and loved the whole vibe... the owner was so nice and the other workers. Bison burger was the best u have had anywhere and the Mimosas were awesome . Will definitely recommend to others and be back soon
Steven Williams
This place is the cats hat! The cows moo! The Bisons buck!! Definitely in the top 5 best places in the city of Pittsburgh!!
Ronna Pratt
Awesome place with great food, a huge whiskey, beer, and cocktail selection, and really friendly staff!
Dick Bruce
Met the owner what a great lady she is the food was outstanding and the serving staff was just as good everyone should try this place if you haven't already
Denise Gnipp
Best Moscow Mules ever!! I get their house-infused Mango Habanero or Strawberry Jalapeño in my Moscow Mule and it's delicious. The crowd is always good and the decor is perfect for a chill night out with open air windows in the front. Recommend this place to everyone!!
Vivian Lee Sullivan
We had a decent sized group they were able to get us in on a Saturday night. Food was really delicious, everyone was super satisfied with everything. Had Strawberry infused vodka Lemonade, Bison Burger, and my absolute favorite was the Milk and Cookies dessert. They were perfectly cooked, it was amazing!!! We will definitely be back, awesome atmosphere.
