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!

                                                            We went to Casbah for the pre fixe Sunday brunch. What a great meal! I had the seasonal mimosa, roasted beet salad and sea scallop fry. Fantastic! My husband had the smoked salmon starter and the shrimp and roasted red pepper omelette. Also fantastic. I highly recommend Casbah for any meal, especially brunch. Service also great!

                                                            We had a good experience overall. They were very accommodating when we wanted to change our reservation time. Malcom was very engaging as a server. Appetizers were tasty. My husband and son had the filet - both said it was delicious. I ordered the orecchiette with chicken. It was sadly mediocre. The plate it was served in was not warm, subsequently the pasta and chicken cooked very quickly. For a pasta dish at $29 I was hopeful that the pasta would be made in house. Overall a decent experience and I would definite give a second chance.

Drinks and desert were some of the best in the city. Complimentary valet parking. Will definitely be back and recommend to anyone wanting to celebrate a birthday/anniversary/treat themselves to a fancy night out!

                                                            Scallop appetizer was excellent although for $21 you would expect more than 2 scallops. Service was exceptional. Olivia was very professional and attentive. The flourless chocolate cake left a lot to be desired. Crème Brulé. Was very good.
