The ONLY knock is parking which is a larger city issue. We met Melissa, co-owner and wonderful host. We had the greens, canellini beans and sausage for an appetizer. Chef’s kiss. We had the pork chop special and flounder. The flounders was really good, but the pork chop, outstanding. Absolutely! I had a souped up salad with burrito and beets. Excellent. Butterscotch pound great to top off the evening was nice finish. It had vanilla ice cream and candied pecans.

Hopefully this closure isn’t permanent. Or favorite restaurant in the city. Joe and Melissa are such gracious hosts. Food is top shelf from the veal chop, seafood, and pasta meals. Zucchini appetizer is unrivaled. I hope all is well.

Meh on the food and hugely expensive. Strange but the bread they served prior to the meals was cold. Yes intentionally cold! The eggplant dish was also cold (not intentionally). And not enough sauce. Current online menu pricing was significantly less than the menu offered in person ($44-$67 for entrees).

Worst thing was we were seated at a corner table and suddenly noticed there was a major water leak cascading down the wall. Server said she would notify the owner. Other servers noticed the situation as well but nobody said anything. No owner came over to inspect the situation and we had to actually ask for another table! Manager peeked through the door next to our table and looked at the wall and said- “hmm wierd” and then disappeared. Final bizarre issue was all the desserts were $19-20!!!!

During a trip to the bathroom which is on the second floor we chatted with a woman who said it was their last evening and that they were closing. If true it’s not at all surprising. If not true then they need a face lift and reality price check!

Food was very good, but the meatballs and red sauce weren’t great. (We are Italian and eat out Italian often). Prices were exorbitant. Our first time in Pittsburgh, would have expected more reasonable prices. Staff were kind and friendly.

My favorite restaurant in the city. Outstanding quality across the board but after 3-4 separate visits the last few years I have to call out the Sesame Calimari specifically. Out of this world. Will continue to come back yearly. Cheers to Melissa and the staff for yet another wonderful visit.

Everything was outstanding. The meal was so well paced, the food exceptionally (the greens and beans were to die for) delicious and the atmosphere calming, authentic, and genuine. They even wrapped our food for us after each course, no restaurants ever do that anymore!!! We got to speak with the owners who were delightful. This probably one of the best hidden gems in Pittsburgh. Such an amazing and special place!

Charlotte was our server and she was excellent. We were in an Italian mood so we went with the rigatoni with Alfredo and grilled chicken and the homemade cheese ravioli. Started our meal with their famous fried zucchini. Delicious red sauce. Wonderful meal. Lovely intimate setting.

I haven’t been to a Tambellinis since the mid 90’s downtown before I moved away from Pittsburgh. Went back tonight on Bryant Street and had the most amazing dinner! From the Zucchini and Crab Balls for appetizers to the Chicken Romano and the Lava Cake that we shared for dessert. Great food. Great atmosphere. And great service by Jamie S. Will definitely be returning!

Last night, my husband and I had the most delightful dinner at Joseph Tambellini. It was our first time there and I didn’t know what to expect, but they pulled out the stops for a wonderful birthday dinner. Every single employee we encountered was friendly and gave a big smile. Our food was nothing short of delectable. From the bread through dessert, there was nothing that passed through our table that wasn’t delicious. Our server, Ronnie, was adorable and sweet. And when problems arose, she kept a cool head and a gracious smile. We will definitely be back.

Our group of four chose Joseph Tambellini Restaurant for its exquisite outdoor dining and reputation for its exceptionalism in quality, service, ambience and location that was convenient to all.

Our waitress Veronica was exceptional, professional, knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, attentive, patient, understanding, courteous, gracious and thoughtful. All other staff that we encountered are equally professional, courteous and kind. At the end of our dinner and before the waitress served desserts, the chief’s wife graciously and attentively followed up with our table to solicit our comments on the dining experience. In one word: exceptional.

The food was superb, well prepared, and presented artfully and in good taste.

Our sincere gratitude, appreciation and thankfulness to the owner, chief, our waitress Veronica and other staff members, all of whom deserve the best of comments from all customers who know the value and are able to appreciate the quality of the services the Staff provides at a level that is truly above and beyond the commonplace with exceptionally prepared appetizers, entrees and desserts.
