    Most of the dishes were very good, especially the octopus. The scallops were amazing but my dining companion was surprised that they were sashimi, not cooked, so maybe that should be more clear on the menu. The crab cakes were nice but not as flavorful as I expected. Accomodation of the gluten-free diner in our party was outstanding. The waitress seemed a little impatient when she first talked with us and the subsequent service was adequate, but hardly doting - I expected a bit more attention at this price point.

    Our recent dinner at Morcilla was absolutely outstanding. We arrived early for our reservation, then opted to dine at the bar since it didn’t look like a table would be open anytime soon. That turned out to be a perfect decision—we could not have enjoyed our first-time experience at Morcilla more. Our bartender and server was professional, gracious and one of the best elements of this multi-faceted spot. He offered terrific advice when consulted, timed our order perfectly and engaged with us in a way that thoroughly enhanced our evening. And the food? It was exquisite. Every dish was balanced, well conceived and executed with precision and care. The flavors were bright and expressive, but never overdone or manipulated. This isn’t easy and we commend the steady hand in the kitchen who clearly understands and delivers. We also loved the wine list. The ambiance was warm, cozy and inviting. We felt like we were instantly transported to Spain and it was magic.

    As always, everything was amazing. We had the conservas, chorizo, citrus salad, ribs, and duck confit—everything was absolutely delicious. The cocktails were also fantastic (I had the rum cocktail; I don’t remember what my spouse had, but I tried it and it was also great—refreshing and really well balanced). The service is attentive but not hovering, and they do a great job not making you feel rushed as you eat. This is one of our favorite “special occasion” restaurants, and our last visit did not disappoint. We’ll definitely be back again!

    We highly recommend ordering the conservas - every single thing was tasty but the almonds, beets and olives were high points. The oxtail montadito (two pieces in a serving) was so good we ordered a second round of it and LOVED the octopus. Our cocktails were tasty, too, and recommend the red sangria! We wouldn’t repeat ordering the crab montadito and the surryano ham was a larger portion than our party of 2 needed and too salty for our personal taste. The atmosphere was warm / cozy. We’ll be back!

    A great experience. Favorite thing for me was the Oxtail but it was all fantastic. Serrano Ham and “Crab Cakes” were also top tier. Although I wish the crab cake was setup in smaller bites because it fell apart easily but wasn’t easy to bite from because of the delicious bread it was rested on. But honestly the presentation of the crab was gorgeous so it might be worth the extra mess/hassle. Wine and cocktail suggestions were perfect. Honestly looking to go back really soon for even just a casual dinner. Absolutely worth the money. Staff is very dedicated and I want to befriend them all.

    First time here for date night and it was great! Felt like we were somewhere other than Pittsburgh when we got inside. Service was attentive, friendly & knowledgable. Food was so good. Would highly recommend the octopus small plate! Fantastic. Will surely return. Seating is limited so reservations are a good move.

    The atmosphere was so quaint. It is a smaller restaurant but we didn’t feel like we were on top of other people and the noise was not too bad. The food was wonderful! The oxtail was something so different than anything we have ever tried before and we highly recommend it!

    It's always the dishes you don't expect that knock your socks off. Last time it was the skate wing a la plancha and tuna crudo, this time it was the roasted sweet potatoes and oxtail. I can't decide which time was better but I know both were among my favorite dining experiences ever!
