Five out of five stars doesn’t even begin to do this place justice. My coworkers and I had an extraordinary experience—truly one of the best meals I’ve had in my entire life, and that’s no exaggeration.
We started with their three‑course menu, opening with both the chicken and beef empanadas. The flavors were phenomenal—rich, savory, and just downright delicious. We also added the blackened shrimp, which turned out to be an excellent decision; the seasoning had this bold, smoky depth that made the dish ridiculously good.
The charcuterie board was spot‑on, featuring a selection of cured meats that were clearly high‑quality, robust in flavor, and thoughtfully chosen.
For the main course, we shared the Parrillado Mixta. Wow. The sheer amount of tender, juicy, downright scrumptious meat was impressive, yet somehow we had no trouble polishing it off because every bite—steak, chicken, all of it—was bursting with flavor and cooked perfectly.
The chorizo, though, might have been my personal favorite. It had a beautiful heat to it, incredibly juicy pieces, and a flavor that hit you immediately in the best way possible.
The potatoes were another crowd favorite. The horseradish sauce they came with was balanced—noticeable but not overpowering—and added a delicious, slightly sharp contrast that worked perfectly.
The assortment of sauces they brought out—chimichurri, garlic, red pepper, and more—elevated every dish they touched. The vegetables served with the main course were also excellent, charred just right and full of flavor.
Dessert was a type of poundcake along with a shortbread cookie. My favorite was the cookie which was buttery and had a delicious fruit/chocolate filling inside.
Our drinks were fantastic as well. I ordered the Bushwick cocktail and a Sazerac, both of which were beautifully balanced, aromatic, and incredibly smooth.
The atmosphere at Gaucho sealed the deal. From the moment I walked in, I knew it was going to be a great night. The interior is warm, sophisticated, and intimate without feeling stuffy. Our team sat upstairs near the additional bar, though the downstairs area has an even better vibe.
The staff were wonderful—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Our server in particular was exceptional, and the restaurant is lucky to have her.
All in all, an unforgettable night. Anyone local absolutely needs to come here. Too bad I live in Rhode Island, but if I’m back in Pittsburgh, I know exactly where I’m going!

This was one of the best meals I’ve eaten in a long time. I wanted to go somewhere I’ve never been before for my birthday and Gaucho had been high on my list to try. We had the Parrillada Mixta and Vegetales Mixta. Everything was perfectly grilled and the selection of chimi churris were a perfect accompaniment. The atmosphere was great and the staff were very friendly. Well worth the price paid.

Had a great first visit to Gaucho with two friends. We made a reservation via Resy and were seated right away, which I’d definitely recommend, especially on a busy weekend night.
We shared the camarones (shrimp) appetizer, which was excellent and full of flavor. I ordered the Granada cocktail, the braised beef sandwich with a side salad, and a red sangria. We each also had a Well Reposado Tequila shot (Oredain). Everything was delicious, the beef was incredibly tender, and the portions were generous.
We had a cozy front booth and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Our server, Cecelia, was very friendly and helpful with recommendations (none of us had been before) and immediately asked about food allergies, which I appreciated.
There was a small mix-up when our check wasn’t split as requested, but it was quickly corrected once we mentioned it. One thing to note: the handheld payment system defaulted to a 22% tip instead of 20%, which was a bit surprising. With the shared shrimp appetizer on my tab, my total came to $106 and change.
Downtown parking can be challenging on Saturday nights, especially when there are nearby events. All of us parked in nearby garages, but rates vary and can be quite high during events.
Overall, the food and drinks were outstanding and I’d absolutely return.

We stopped here for an early dinner prior to seeing a show, and we would recommend a reservation because even at an earlier dinner time on a Saturday, it got busy quickly! When planning a stop here, consider the show schedules in the Cultural District as the busyness of the restaurant and the area itself are heavily impacted by shows and events.
The menu offers a large variety of plates, ranging from sandwiches to full steak dinners and tasting menus for larger parties. For an early dinner, my husband and I stuck to sandwiches. Our waiter also gave us a complimentary chimmi churri flight as it was our first time visiting, and the red pepper was the best one by far! The service was great, and when we asked for recommendations, our waiter did an excellent job of walking us through the menu and giving recommendations based on both what tends to be most popular in each section, but also what he enjoys and appreciates.
I had the braised beef sandwich, and the flavors and tenderness of the beef were stunning, I can see why it’s listed as the #1 guest favorite on the menu! My husband had the steak burger (which is cooked on the wood fire grill), and we were impressed with the flavor that the wood grill brought to the meat. He noted that having more than two choice toppings included would be nice (he added some of the red pepper chimmi churri), but fewer toppings does let the wood grilled flavor shine. The meat quality is really outstanding, the only critique we have is that for around $20 for a sandwich, we would hope the included side options would be a bit more stand-out (you can opt to get a salad instead of chips if you prefer).
We don’t typically get dessert at restaurants, but the pionono caught our eye, and it was worth it. It’s a more unique flavor combination and profile, but it’s delicious and the cake has a lovely texture. The seasonal fruit topping we had included raspberries, strawberries, and vanilla.
As far as unique elements go, the red pepper chimmi churri and the pionono were the parts of the meal that stood out to us most, but our meal was good quality over all, and we’d recommend considering Gaucho Parrilla Argentina the next time you’re near the Cultural District.

I have been here on a few occasions and i would say i have had good experience every time. Reservations are easy to make on line or on the phone, they are extremely accommodating depending on party size. I have even gotten the take our from here. The meats are so good, you cannot go wrong with the Parrillada Mixta. I will say it says recommended for 2, but i have been able to finish one off by myself on two occasions.

We had a reservation so we were seated right away at a 2 person table. I’m usually not a fan of 2 person tables because they tend to be too small when you have dishes, drinks and utensils. I guess it worked out because we ordered minimally.
The food came out very quick that we didn’t think it was ours. The restaurant being a bit loud, we could not hear what the server was saying (different than our waiter) so that didn’t help. My boyfriend ordered potatoes along with his steak so it was on a circular plate. Mine on the other hand, was served on some wooden board. It was big enough to just fit the steak. We were also given 4 different sauces. While the wooden board looked great, it kept spinning on the table as I tried to cut meat on a table that was a bit too high. It was pretty annoying. The sauces and steak were great but nothing extraordinary.
For the price point, we were disappointed. We have had better steaks in general and in Argentina, especially at that price range. It was a good experience trying Gaucho but probably won’t return.

We’ve been here a couple times now. This last time, it wasn’t so great. The food was okay. My sandwich was dry (pictured with chips). I asked for Aus Jus (which they don’t have). I was given a tiny amount of some sauce & was charged $3.00 for it Now, my hubby’s was delicious & juicy. $53 for two sandwiches (with tip) and we only drank water.

Tried Gaucho Parrilla for the first time before the show last night. Been wanting to try them out and finally remembered to make reservations. We both ordered the sirloin flap steak (medium rare) and added the papas on the side. Also ordered a side of the corn pudding. A complementary flight of chimichurri (reg, caramelized onion, ajo, and pepper) was provided. Everything was very good. Steak was flavorful, tender, and cooked to a perfect medium rare. The chimichurri selection was nice. The pepper was my favorite. The corn pudding stole the show. Creamy, studded with crispy pork, and topped with pepper oil. Sebastian our server was funny and attentive. Only two issues, it’s a bit loud and the food was a little on the luke warm side (seems to be a problem these days when dining out). Either issue was not enough to ruin the experience. We will be back.

Came here on my anniversary after seeing that the place was constantly booked. It held up!
I’m not really a meat person and I was astounded by how well they made their meats here. So tender, spiced, and they pair extremely well with the different flavor sauces they provide – each yielding either smoky, sour, or spicy as needed. The staff were so kind and had a great sense of humor. I highly recommend this place for dates and meat connoisseurs.

For me, this is the best steakhouse of the city and the reason…. they don’t sell just steak!!!! Chorizos, chiken, shrimp, empanadas, even the bread is toasted on the grill!!! The taste is incredible and the service is the best!!!
