Food lovers, mark your calendars: Pittsburgh Restaurant Week is happening now through Sunday, January 18, with an early access weekend that already kicked off last Friday. This city‑wide dining celebration puts more than 50 local restaurants in the spotlight with special prix‑fixe menus and creative offerings just for the week.

Pittsburgh Restaurant Week has made its semi-annual return to the City of Bridges, celebrating local businesses, culture and fantastic food.

Best Restaurants, which was originally scheduled for July 27th, has been postponed until November 2nd. While planning the event and coordinating with restaurants and guests, we realized how busy a month July is for many Pittsburghers.

A Sixth Street staple since 2001, bar and restaurant Olive or Twist will be handing out samples of their most popular dishes to guests at Best Restaurants.

At Best Restaurants, we welcome Fifth Avenue staple Vallozzi’s to present their delectable Italian dishes to guests. The restaurant’s humble beginnings date all the way back to 1955 when namesake Helen Vallozzi started a small gnocchi business in her basement.
