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!

    I’ve dined here many times for lunch, but this was the first time for dinner and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! The host was accommodating when we request a different table, our server was the utmost professional and cordial (can’t remember his name-tall, slender African American young man), the food was delicious and the ambience was wonderful! We also appreciated the free valet parking as it was very difficult to find street parking. We will be back.

    Food and service were excellent. It was a little noisy at first, but toned down later. Mussels, swordfish, duck and lamb shank were all perfectly cooked and delicious.

    Casbah was excellent. I have a hard time ordering any other entre than the Elysian Farms Lamb Shank and did it again this time. It is so good! Services was great as well as the wines.

    Tuna tartare and octopus pairing set the stage for the evening. These appetisers set high expectations for what’s to come, especially the tartare, OMG. Then came the entrees of pork chops, Long Island duck and lamb shank. The meats were very well prepared, juicy and tender as it should be, lamb falling off the bone effortlessly .. irresistible! Topped off the meal with the peach cobbler - infused basil cream was rich and fragrant, and the butter biscuit, don’t take my word how good it is…

    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
