About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for fine wines
Casbah is a neighborhood restaurant and wine bar located in Pittsburgh’s East End. From the year-round garden patio to the dining room, from the cozy bar to the wine cellar, each visit can feel like a new and special experience.

Casbah offers a broad menu focused on northern Mediterranean-inspired cuisine from Italy, Spain, France and Greece that emphasizes local ingredients. All meals start with warm, house made bread from Eleven’s kitchen. A cheese plate followed by appetizers, a bowl of fresh pasta, or a four-course meal are all possibilities for an evening at Casbah.

Reservations are available up to 30 days in advance; we look forward to serving you!

    Everything we ate here was very good. The soup, the salmon, the lobster pasta, the cappuccino and the creme brulee. The service was very good also, especially seeing as they were very busy. I would absolutely return and recommend them

    Food was delicious. Server in lower dining room had a lot of tables, so service was a little slow.

    This is one of our favorite restaurants. However, this was the first time we were able to go into the little unknown downstairs, dining area! It was quite romantic, and the atmosphere was genuinely alluring. A must if you get the chance to dine here.

    Casbah was very good. Food & service were great. It was loud so we had a little bit of an issue talking and hearing at our table.

    Amazing experience as always. Casbah is our go-to restaurant for any and all celebrations or when we need a night out. It never falls short and always has us coming back. After 50+ visits this remains our favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh.

    We had a wonderful Father’s Day dinner at Casbah! Everything was delicious…appetizers including tuna tartar, fried calamari, olives, & artichokes! Entrees including chicken, bronzino, pasta with lobster - all were superb! No room for dessert, but great caramels following the meal hit the spot ! Our waiter TJ was outstanding!
