Hello, city people. I'm in Mon City, so I don't know good Pitt city spots. I'm taking this girl out tomorrow. And I need a recommendation for a nice restaurant to take her to. Looking for somewhere not in the middle of the city, like maybe South Side or something. And not too damaging to my wallet as I'll be paying. Thanks in advance!
Alihan's Mediterranean Cuisine in Downtown is one of the best bang for your buck restaurants. It has some of the best meat in the city, and is inexpensive.
Driftwood Oven on Butler makes a great pizza. Tram’s on Penn has great Vietnamese food. Regardless of where you choose, have a fun time.
Love Driftwood, but I would not call them inexpensive.
Noodlehead has a more expensive vibe but is pretty cheap. I think their meals are under $10 if I remember right. Cash only, they have an ATM.
Park in the garage next to it, very reasonable.
If you are interested in value and decent Italian food my recommendation is the Pleasure Bar in Bloomfield. There is a public parking lot very close to the restaurant.
Chinatown Inn
This would be my pick too, although they have raised prices recently. It’s now about $12.50 for an entree
There is a Millie’s next door if you want ice cream after dinner. There are also a few bars around there for before/after dinner drinks if that is your thing.
Throw back to when it was that awesome ice cream place that was oddly shut down for giving out loans? The mix-ins were crazy! The vibe was much cooler too.
Oh Yeah! It was great...until it wasn't any more.
What were they called again? Oh I am stupid, it was “oh yeah”
Can you still sit in there and eat? I know they remodeled recently
Salem grill
Why on earth was an ice cream place giving out loans omg
So good, definitely on the expensive side. Is it still a place to take a date.. I have only goten take out since the plague and didn't see much for seating
Value date, I'd recommend piccolo forno, BYOB saves do much money
I can’t get pass the paywall but the story should be here. The line I could see says 2013 … but I definitely went there in 2014/15 or maybe my brain can’t remember the timeline
Trams Vietnamese is one of my favorite spots in the whole city!
El Rincon Oaxaqueno is a fantastic mexican food truck, theyre usually in the Strip Distict but you can always check instagram for their locations https://instagram.com/elrinconoaxaqueno8?igshid=MWI4MTIyMDE=
Always a good call. Cash only BYOB
If you plan on going Monday, you can’t, as they are closed then
Honestly anything. We're not picky people. She loves Asian though.
A little closer to you, but still here, I'd suggest Silk Road. (It's called Silk Road Gormet Chinese on Google). Nice looking place good for a date, not super expensive, I've only eaten there a few times (normally I got take out), but they don't seem to be too loud or anything and the food is, imo very good especially the sushi.
