Casbah is a neighborhood restaurant and wine bar located in Pittsburgh’s East End. From the year-round garden patio to the dining room, from the cozy bar to the wine cellar, each visit can feel like a new and special experience.

Casbah offers a broad menu focused on northern Mediterranean-inspired cuisine from Italy, Spain, France and Greece that emphasizes local ingredients. All meals start with warm, house made bread from Eleven’s kitchen. A cheese plate followed by appetizers, a bowl of fresh pasta, or a four-course meal are all possibilities for an evening at Casbah.

Reservations are available up to 30 days in advance; we look forward to serving you!

    Wonderful lunch with hummus and calamari to start. Entrees took a bit to come out but that was because two of the party got the roasted chicken which takes a bit to prepare, but clearly worth the wait!

    Our party of 5 enjoyed the lower dining area as it was much more quiet than the main level dining, as we were able to talk quietly and still hear each other. The Service was great and food was very good, as is typical of past visits here. "Thank you" to the staff for making our small Mother's Day celebration so enjoyable.

    Our dinners (papardelle with lobster and sun-dried tomatoes; the branzino) and dessert( creme brulee) were delicious. However, the restaurant was noisy and it felt a bit claustrophobic in the inside dining room. Our drinks (sangria, margarita) were okay.

    Absolutely wonderful. The food was delicious, our server was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable and gave us a really great dining experience, even the valet was great! We enjoyed the airy patio and overall welcoming ambience. We came to celebrate my birthday and Casbah made it a truly special occasion. Will definitely return!

    Had a wonderful Mother's day dinner. The service was attentive and friendly. We were seated right away for our reservation. The swordfish and branzino were both excellent and the meals with wine and desserts were very reasonably priced.

    Casbah is our favorite place for special occasions. Yesterday, we celebrated Mother's Day and my husband's birthday there with our son. Gale. our server, did a great job of pacing our service on a very busy day. We loved the Calamari & Rock Shrimp and Grilled Octopus appetizers. I had my all-time favorite Red Pepper Casserece. The Swordfish and Branzino fish entrees were prepared perfectly. Sitting on the patio and enjoying this special day was real gift!

    We had the prix fixe brunch menu. We shared chickpeas hummus that was just right. Smoked salmon, tomato bisque and the sticky bun were our first courses and they were on point. Crab and salmon Benedict’s, and strip steak were our main courses. Poached eggs were perfect. English muffin crunchy and chewy as one would expect. The salmon and crab meat were generous, they came with roasted fingerling potatoes that were crunchy outside/creamy inside. And assorted fruit. I didn’t care for the melons but it’s a personal preference. Loved the pineapple chunks and strawberries. The strip steak cut was thick (than expected) and the grits with truffle were rich. Definitely a great meal all around.
