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!

    Our server Nate was amazing, the lobster pasta was a little disappointing. The sauce was more of a broth and didn’t coat the noodles. The rest of the food was really good. Service and atmosphere 10/10

    Went for my birthday, and absolutely loved the food. Would recommend the octopus and calamari for starters. Roasted duck was amazing. Can’t go wrong with any of the desserts. Menu changes slightly day by day, so be prepared for some ingredients to be subbed compared to online menu

    We went to Cashbah to celebrate my birthday and our recent engagement. Gale provided us with excellent service, and every single bite was delicious. Best meal we have had in a very long time. Cannot wait to go back.

    Amazing food, as always (the pork chop never misses). Service was great. It was rather noisy due to a large party that was relocated next to our table mid-meal which I realize the restaurant can’t control.

    The food was well-prepared as usual. Being downstairs was quieter, but the service appeared a bit longer.

    Our night there was excellent as usual. The food was fantastic and the service was amazing as always. We come to Casbah for my wife’s birthday every year. This year we decided to take my Mom for her birthday. She really enjoyed the night and the entire experience for her birthday dinner.

    Courtyard was loud with metal patio furniture. Pork chop was slightly dry. For a restaurant with menu prices at their level, I'd expect better quality entrees and ambience.
