Everything is prepared with love and passion. This is a restaurant that I suggest to out of town guests; especially those coming into Pittsburgh for the first time. I think their menu is a great representation of the area. My absolute favorite menu item is the caprese burger. Melt in your mouth delish. Big enough to share. Lasagne and shells are also a must have.

For Valentine's Day this year, because we're stuck at home with this Pandemic, we ordered a special…read moreTO GO meal through the Allegheny Wine Mixer that included food prepared by Kate Romane's BRK. The meal kit came with super fun and easy to follow instructions for reheating everything. For $75, we got an antipasto snack box with cured meats and olives/pepperoncini and a small focaccia loaf with gorgonzola spread that was out of this world. I could literally eat a tub of that spread. We opened the Chianti bottle that came with the meal too and it was great with the appetizers. The box also came with these incredible garlic sage smashed beans that ate more like a fabulous over the top bean soup. Wish we had some more of that focaccia loaf to sop that up. The mixed green salad came with a light flavorful lemon dressing and I have to say I was super impressed with how FRESH the lettuce and radicchio was - it was like a bite of summer in the middle of this harsh Pittsburgh Winter we find ourselves in. The main entrée was a tray of sublime ricotta ravioli in pecorino rosemary cream sauce that, after reheating, created some crispy top layer raviolis and simmered, tender, bottom layer raviolis. It was so unbelievably good and filling! But wait, there's more! We also got a huge tub of Italian Sunday Sauce and six large meatballs that we heated in a pan. The sauce came with pieces of pepperoni and huge chunks of whole garlic floating in it. The sauce is a little on the sweeter side but it really paired so well with this savory ravioli. Dessert was this perfectly sized piece of cheesecake with fresh raspberries and blackberries. Absolutely delicious! We just loved this whole meal. It was such a welcome treat and we appreciated the finer details of the preparation and the courses. We will definitely be keeping an eye out for future offerings from BRK.

It's a hip, post industrial large room that serves for elegant dining. She has a cadre of loyal employees that have worked with her for many years, some go back at least as far as her celebrated E2 restaurant in Highland Park. They are well trained and graciously welcoming. The food is wonderful, and the formula is always locally sourced fresh ingredients. Great salads, stunning entrees, and lots of great accompaniments, such as olives, fresh veggies, and breads. Italian/Mediterranean Cuisine is her go-to style of cooking, but I feel she does everything well. So don't forget about her event space, it's for groups of 25 or more. I forgot to mention her stunning desserts. Last night she served a delicious Pot de Creme that was both gourmet and very satisfying. It doesn't get any better than this.

From the very beginning, Nikki and the entire team were incredibly organized, friendly, and helpful. Having a reliable, on-top-of-it vendor gave me so much peace of mind during the chaos of wedding planning. On the wedding day, they were professional, attentive, and everything ran seamlessly. We chose the buffet option for our ~200 guests, and the food was absolutely amazing. The star of the show was the Italian Brasciole - so many of our guests raved about it, and we happily enjoyed the leftovers throughout the following week! We also had them plate our cookie table, which was no small feat, and they handled it beautifully. The entire experience exceeded our expectations, and we wouldn't hesitate to book them again. Highly recommend to any couple looking for delicious food and a team they can truly count on!

Chefs Monica and Nicole are such friendly, special people with incredible talent. Every Thursday, they open dinner service with a rotating, seasonal menu supporting local vendors. Tonight we got house salads, chicken-bacon-meatloaf sandwich with homemade fries, and parmesan crusted cod with asparagus and angel hair pasta. The sandwich was amazing and packed with flavor from the aioli and salsa. The fries have the perfect addition of cracked pepper. The cod was so yummy with the crispy crust. And the peanut butter pie (also homemade) was delicious. If you're looking for an intimate, woman owned, hidden gem then try Above and Beyond. You won't be dissatisfied or leave hungry!

Their cafe sells sandwiches (e.g., club and caprese), salads (e.g., Greek and antipasto), and sides (e.g., spinach artichoke and grape leaves). Their catering menu appears to be much larger and includes many appetizers, party trays, and party pans and cuisines such as Italian, taco, poke, and fine dining. So far, I have bought several foods from Above & Beyond. Here are my reviews for the foods: "Not Your Mom's Eggplant Parmesan" - 4 stars - This entree contained eggplant, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and marinara sauce. "Mac n Cheese" - 4 stars - This macaroni contained cheddar and parmesan cheeses and was topped with breadcrumbs. I expected more cheese, but I enjoyed the flavors. "Traditional Hummus" - 3.5 stars - This hummus contained chickpeas, tahini, garlic, paprika, lemon, and oil. It had a nicely creamy texture. "Stuffed Cabbage" - 3 stars - This stuffed cabbage contained less meat and more rice than what I like. "Pierogi Lasagna" - 5 stars - This entree consisted of lasagna noodles, potato, cheese, onion, butter, salt, and pepper. I really enjoyed this entree, and I would order it again in the future. "Beef Lasagna" - 4.5 stars - This lasagna contained noodles, ground beef, marinara, ricotta, and mozzarella. I liked the flavors. According to Above & Beyond's website, they also offer cooking classes for adults and children.

I have been a corporate manager in the same industry in the past and this type of management enrages me. I have also heard that are told if they are having mental or hormonal issues they should deal with them on their day off. Im not sure corporately who manages the managers but they really need to do a better job at appreciating their employees and customers and the city that has made them a possibility.

Robin at Big Catering helped me select menu items, understand quantities and prices, and confirm all details. I asked for the food to be delivered and set up (we did not need servers during the reception). The delivery arrived exactly on time, and setup was perfect. The guests enjoyed the sight and aroma of the beautiful buffet. The delicious selections encouraged people to sit and chat, and then wander back to the buffet for another helping. We received many compliments about the wonderful food. Everything was packaged sturdily. Our family was able to take very tasty leftovers home and enjoy them. I highly recommend Big Burrito for catering, and Alta Via for menu selections.
