My wife and I always enjoy dinner at SOBA! Cocktails are top notch and we really enjoyed the lettuce wraps (enough for a meal!) as well as the crispy branzino and red snapper. We'll be back.

This was a nice last-minute find. As often happens when I travel, I end up being the person who finds the place to eat even when others commit to doing so. In this case, I went on Open Table to look for something interesting with potential to be on the healthier side of things. Pasha was perfect. While I am sure their individual entrees are fine, we opted for shared appetizers and main courses that allowed us to experience a wide range of their great food. The place has a real neighborhood, Mediterranean, family-run vibe. Now, I have a go-to whenever I visit Pittsburgh.

Had a great experience @ Bella Terra for their line dancing with Carol Drum instructing on February 13. We followed up & did a beginners line dancing @ 6 pm @ Yukon Firehall with Stacey on February 17. It was much slower instruction & very helpful for beginners. As always… Bella Terra service was very good & all staff are very friendly.

We were visiting from our of town and arrived about 20 minutes before our reservation and were seated right away on the outdoor patio upstairs. It was a great spot to enjoy our meal after a day of exploring the city. The garlic parmesan wings were a standout, possibly the best I've ever had. The burgers were also delicious. The restaurant was very busy, since we arrived just after the Pirates game had ended, but service was still good and our server kept our water full and made sure to refill my son's soda when he needed it. We'll definitely be back if we find ourselves back in Pittsburgh again.
