Restaurants & Food in Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh kitchens are spread across the neighborhoods rather than concentrated downtown, from Butler Street in Lawrenceville and Penn Avenue in the Strip District to East Liberty, Squirrel Hill, Bloomfield and the North Side. Vietnamese, Ethiopian, Middle Eastern, Caribbean, Mexican and Central European cooking all show up, in dining rooms, counters, trucks and caterers. The hills and bridges make short distances slow, so check where a place actually is before you plan around it.

Gaucho Parrilla Argentina

Gaucho Parrilla Argentina

Pittsburgh, PA

At Gaucho Parrilla Argentina, everything begins with fire. We are an Argentine parrilla in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh's Cultural District, on Sixth Street, where quality cuts of meat, poultry, seafood, and vegetables are cooked the way they have been cooked across the pampas for generations: over an open, wood-fired grill. Our kitchen is inspired by family heritage rooted in Argentina, Uruguay, and South America more broadly. That heritage shapes how we source, season, and cook. We keep it simple and let the ingredients speak. Fresh ingredients, delicious flavors, and the deep, smoky character that only real wood coals can give. From marinated skirt steak to grilled vegetables and house chimichurri, every plate carries the honesty of the parrilla. We want your visit to feel unhurried and generous. Come in at lunch for something quick and satisfying, or settle in for dinner and let the meal unfold. Our bar keeps the same spirit, and during Happy Hour we pour drink specials and offer half off our pequeños, the smaller plates made for sharing while you sip and talk. Walk-ins are always welcome, and reservations are recommended if you are planning ahead or bringing a group. Pittsburgh has embraced Gaucho, and we have embraced Pittsburgh right back. Being downtown in the Cultural District means we sit at the center of the city's energy, a short walk from theaters, galleries, and the riverfront. Whether you are here before a show, meeting friends after work, or simply craving something cooked over live fire, there is a seat for you. What you will find is not fussy or complicated. It is food built on good technique and better ingredients, served with warmth. That is the tradition of the gaucho, and it is the promise we make every day we light the grill. Eat. Drink. Enjoy. Then come back and do it all again. We will keep the fire burning and a place set for you at the table.

Everything is made bold, fresh, healthy, natural, and local, produced right here in Hazelwood and served across the city. Our flagship Hazelwood Juice Stand pours early-morning juices and smoothies for the neighborhood, and you'll also find us at Mort's Fresh & Local, inside UPMC Magee-Women's Hospital, at farmers markets around town, and rolling up to events in our 1:11 Juice Van. From cleanses to smoothies to fresh sandwiches and lunch boxes, every item is built to feed your mind, body, and taste buds. We've had the honor of partnering with organizations across Pittsburgh who share our commitment to quality and community. Stop by the stand, catch us at a market, or order for your next event. Whatever brings you in, we're here to help you feel good with real, wholesome food and drink you can trust. Have questions? Reach us at hello@111juicebar.com or (412) 586-4377.

Proper's Brick Oven & Taproom

Pittsburgh, PA

Proper Brick Oven & Tap Room has been an independently owned fixture in Pittsburgh's Cultural District since 2013, built on a simple idea: fresh, scratch-made food and great local beer in a welcoming room. Our pizzas start with a three-day-rising sourdough that we bake at 800 degrees in a wood-fired brick oven, giving every 11-inch pie its blistered, chewy character. From the Margherita to the Mediterranean, each one is cut into eight slices and made to share. Beyond pizza, we roll fresh pastas by hand and cook down our own stocks, sauces, and desserts, leaning on local, seasonal produce and sustainably raised meats wherever we can. Behind the bar you will find 30 craft beers on tap, with a deliberate focus on the breweries and distilleries in our own backyard, plus creative cocktails like our Maple Old Fashioned. Whether you are grabbing a slice and a pint before a show, settling in for a plate of pasta, or finishing with our Italian Lemon Cream Cake, we aim to make every visit feel proper. Come see why downtown Pittsburgh keeps coming back.

Knotzland Bowties

Pittsburgh, PA

Knotzland is a Pittsburgh bow tie maker turning rescued fabric into wearable art. Founded in 2014 by Nisha Blackwell, a Black woman entrepreneur who taught herself to sew after a layoff, the brand has grown into a sustainable fashion studio rooted in community. Every bow tie is handcrafted from reclaimed and repurposed textiles, remnants and discards sourced from local upholsterers, designers, fabric houses and creative reuse partners that would otherwise head to a landfill. To date, Knotzland has kept thousands of pounds of material out of the waste stream while giving forgotten fabric a second life. The work is made by hand through a sew-from-home program that recruits, trains and pays women in and around Pittsburgh, so each piece supports real local livelihoods. Customers can choose from ready made designs or collaborate on bespoke, one of a kind ties for weddings, gifts and everyday statements. Bold prints, rich textures and small batch craftsmanship give every knot its own story. People, planet and profit sit at the center of everything Knotzland makes. Visit the Wilkinsburg studio and showroom to design your own.

The lineup spans shirts and sweatshirts, dresses and rompers, skirts and pants, and a dedicated plus-size range, with sizing that runs inclusive so more women can find their fit.

August Wilson African American Cultural Center

Pittsburgh, PA

Honoring the power of our stories, the August Wilson African American Cultural Center (AWAACC) is a non-profit, multidisciplinary arts center open to all, standing in the heart of Pittsburgh's Cultural District at 980 Liberty Avenue. Named for the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and Pittsburgh native whose ten-play cycle chronicled a century of African American life, we are one of the largest cultural centers of our kind in the United States, dedicated to sharing the African American experience and presenting artistic expression that reflects the prestige, authority, and vision illuminated in the work of August Wilson. Our home is a place for gathering, discovery, and connection. Inside, visitors find galleries of rotating and permanent exhibitions, including our anchor experience, August Wilson: The Writer's Landscape, which invites you into the world and words of the man himself. Beyond the galleries, the Center houses a 500-seat theater, classrooms, a cafe, a gift shop, and flexible multi-purpose spaces that host visual art, music, dance, film, and conversation throughout the year. Programming at AWAACC spans festivals, exhibitions, live performance, and education. We present the Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival, welcome artists and thinkers for curator talks and gallery crawls, and hold community touchpoints such as Sunday Reset, jazzjAM, and networking series that keep our doors open to neighbors and newcomers alike. Our education work reaches young people through programs like our youth writers camp, nurturing the next generation of storytellers in the tradition August Wilson so powerfully modeled. We believe Black creativity and innovation are an impetus for heartfelt human connection. Every exhibition, performance, and class is grounded in that belief, celebrating African American culture and its enduring contributions to American life while honoring Pittsburgh's own rich history, including the Hill District that shaped so much of Wilson's writing. As a community beacon, we champion artists and programs that reflect the universal questions of identity, belonging, and resilience found across Wilson's work and in the world around us today. Whether you come to view a new exhibition, take in a concert, bring your family to a community day, or simply share a quiet hour with the stories on our walls, you are welcome here. The August Wilson African American Cultural Center invites all people to see themselves in the fullness of the Black experience, and to leave inspired to connect, create, and belong.

August Wilson House

Pittsburgh, PA

The August Wilson House is a nonprofit cultural institution in Pittsburgh's historic Hill District, centered on the restored childhood home of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright August Wilson (1945-2005). Located at 1727 Bedford Avenue, the modest house is where Wilson spent his first thirteen years living with his mother, Daisy Wilson, and five siblings. The neighborhood and the everyday lives of its residents became the wellspring for his American Century Cycle, a ten-play series chronicling African-American life across each decade of the 20th century. After years of community effort and restoration, the house reopened in August 2022 as an arts center. Rather than functioning as a static museum, it is designed to stay useful and active, hosting theatrical productions, community programming, artist fellowships, and educational initiatives. Guided house tours include Daisy Wilson's Apartment, the restored two-room home that offers a rare glimpse into the world that shaped Wilson's artistry. The restoration paired the preserved historic structure with a modern, glass-fronted addition. Today the August Wilson House celebrates Wilson's literary legacy while serving as a space for learning, creativity, and community empowerment rooted in the Hill District's cultural heritage.
