    My Supper Club enjoyed brunch at Carmella's Plates & Pints. Upon entering, you see this old school bar and these Barrel high top seating. In the back, the Old English decor continues. There's even a cute, little fireplace in the middle. My group included 14 people, and our waitress did a great job with the service. We didn't have to wait long for anything, and they were on top of it all! Our group had a wide range of brunch menu items, and everyone was so pleased! I specifically had the Bourbon banana bake and the breakfast sandwich. I REALLY loved the Bourbon banana bake. It was so flavorful and tasty. The breakfast sandwich was a little messy and the delicious sausage was a little too tiny. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal. My hubby got the Steak Breakfast Bowl, and he loved it as well. At the end of the meal, live music began, and it was a perfect ending and the icing on the cake. This is such a unique and cool spot, and I cannot wait to come again and try some new menu items!

    My friend and I went to brunch. It was my first time going to their brunch and sadly it was their last brunch. It made it hard bc they had three items I wanted to try but could not eat each. That said the waitress was super friendly, when asked about her favorites she gave advice (even if I went with her second option) but I did add the homemade waffle so I could try it before it's gone. The atmosphere is sort of lodge like with an upscale vibe. I thought Meade hall of the United Kingdom variety. You'll have to go to understand my thought or disagree with but it's a vibe and can be a dressier date night or casual grab a bite and catch up place!

    Such a cute vibe at Carmella's!!!! The front area near the bar is giving dive bar in New York vibes. The atmosphere in here is super cute and vibey. Cocktails are great! They have a late night happy hour, which i definitely will be coming back for. For dinner, I started with the panzanella salad. It was super tasty, but it was 90% bread. I definitely wish there were more tomatoes in there. For dinner I got the halibut special with risotto and blister tomatoes. The risotto and the tomatoes were great, but unfortunately I felt like the halibut was a little over cooked and slightly under seasoned. It was a little dry to eat. My boyfriend got the scallops and shrimp pasta which was delicious! The scallops and shrimp in that were cooked perfectly and the flavors were great!

    This is a nice little neighborhood bar and restaurant on the south side of Pittsburgh. They have a bar in front with lots of whiskeys, scotch and other liquors. We started with the crispy Brussel sprouts. They were so good! Crispy, light, airy, with a little tangy hot sauce. Then we had a sausage pasta dish that was to die for. Wild mushrooms, a white sauce, home made pasta. Wow. It was delicious. Finally, we had a short rib dish with risotto. It was fine, nothing like the other two. Our server was very good, even making us an off menu mocktail.

    Broccoli Cheddar Risotto

    Carmella's is always a solid choice for date night or a laid-back dinner with friends/family. We had the broccoli cheddar chicken risotto, pork schnitzel, and flank steak--everything was delicious, served fresh, and full of flavor! Every dish has an elevated touch that keeps us coming back. The setting is cozy and intimate, which makes it ideal for a smaller group dinner or date night, but they do have a few larger tables if you're coming with a bigger party. Service was quick and friendly. While we did notice a few errors on our bill, they were quickly corrected-just something to be mindful of anywhere. The bar is also worth mentioning...they have an impressive whiskey selection and some unique, special labels available, including bottle purchase options. A nice spot to grab a drink, even if you're not staying for a meal! Consistently a good option that always hits the spot!

    Didn't eat but had nice glass of wine. Service was great, fast and friendly. There was a lively crowd that night but cozy at the bar.

    Wagyu Bolognese

    Subpar food, excellent drinks. The drinks prepared by the male server D**************((no names mentioned)) were superb! The food tho... not great. The pierogi for appetizer: filling was delish but the end of the pierogi was hard. Husband's Wagyu burger was amazing! It came with a side of potatoe wedges. The Amish chicken pot pie was bland & flavorless. Not worth the price.

    Tuscan pasta with chicken.

    The drinks were the best. I had "The 1908" and my mom had "Limincello Spritz". The food was good and our service was great. They had a guy playing live music which we enjoyed! Would recommend for happy hour.

    We are a group of 7 people - we had a great dinner at Carmella's. The lady who served us was sooo sweet. Food was delicious. They are mostly small plates. The seating place is quite large.

    Restaurant interior
    Kaylie W.

    Carmella's was an unique experience. The interior of the restaurant was like eating in a ski lodge/cabin. It's a bar when walking in at first and I wasn't sure what to expect lol. The service was super friendly and nice. Food was served fast. Their food surprised me a lot. I didn't have high expectations for a fine dining experience because of a comfort/casual setting, but their food was actually exactly as written on their website: upscale comfort food. Each dish was delicious and the flavor palette was complex. We came for their restaurant week menu because it looked the most intriguing out of all the menus. However, I liked their regular menu items so much more. I felt the portions for restaurant week was a bit small. The dessert was too sweet for my taste as well. The appetizers were very good though. I didn't expect to like the popcorn with the scallops but it was delicious. The corn batter with the scallops really added to its flavor. [Wagyu Meatballs] [Caprese Salad] were both amazing. I was quite shocked by how good it was. The meatballs were juicy and the caprese salad was refreshing, just what we were craving. [Gnocchi Portofino] Same goes for the gnocchi. It was very big gnocchi and I loved it. The serving size was giant for $28, with plenty of seafood. I think it may be one of the best I've had in Pittsburgh. Drinks were ok, nothing out of the ball park. My rec would be to come by for their normal menu food. It's such a versatile menu with generous portions, made with expertise. Its food level matches fine dining, but with an affordable price and interesting environment. Can't think of another restaurant like this.

    Crispy Brussels and calamari
    Margaret G.

    Ambiance was top notch. Beautiful place. The decor is so fun. The round fireplace inside is so cool. The food was phenomenal. The service was quick and polite. I felt like it was quality ingredients and worth the price tag for that. The banana old fashioned will absolutely be the drink I want the next time I go back!

The place has a wide open and welcoming environment. Sure it gets busy, but you never feel without space to stretch out. The bowing, the games, and the slides are all great. Lots of fun. And tons of "free" stuff to do in there. I enjoy that you can bring in outside food. I wish that they had napkins or something for you, but not a big deal! The beer variety is great and the cocktails are pretty good. Can you tell I'm eager to get to the bad? It's the service. Mainly the bar service. This is a sample size of probably 10+ times being here and without a doubt, most of the bartenders are miserable, not polite, always act as if you are inconveniencing them. It's wild. It's not always the same person. I see new bartenders all the time there and without fail, they are really bad. The woman who was working the first floor main bar on Saturday 1/17 around 1:30pm was by far the worst. She was so bad that I'm at a breaking point and I need to avoid this place for awhile. Pins Mechanical - please fix this culture of bad service. It's a shame and unnecessary.

My second drink was the Heated Rivalry (rum, strawberry puree, lime, hot honey, simple syrup) which was unfortunately a little too sweet for my liking, but still refreshing. Incredible name though! Overall I'm impressed! Two of my friends got pizza, and one got the steak frites, and it all looked so good and they were satisfied! Loved the book decor/dark library aesthetic so much. Our server was really sweet and on top of everything.

They didn't include the maraschino cherry garnish which made me sad, but I lived lol. I also tried the Euro Trip from their specialty menu, and it was delicious and very spicy from the ginger. They also had their own barrel select of Knob Creek, which my fiancé tried - so cool! The bartenders were super chill and the ambiance was great! A little pricey but worth it.
