    Prepare to be transported—One by Spork isn’t just a meal, it’s an unforgettable experience. From the very first welcome bite, it’s clear you're in for something extraordinary. Each of the nine meticulously crafted courses is paired with flawless wine and sake selections that elevate every flavor and texture. But the true magic? Chef personally introduces every dish, weaving stories, techniques, and inspirations into the evening, turning each course into an immersive, interactive moment. This isn't dining—it's performance art. One by Spork delivers a night that lingers long after the final bite. A must for any serious food lover.

    The most unique dining experience in Pittsburgh. It's expensive but worth it for the masterfully prepared courses in an approachable and unpretentious setting.

    This prix fixe experience was truly an experience. The ambience was lovely, we enjoyed the pacing and portions. Food was outstanding and the beverage pairings truly elevated the experience. Their attention to detail was apparent in the space, service, ingredients, and menu. Can't wait to come back again!

    The experience at One by Spork was spectacular. We started with several amuse-bouche with a drink in the cocktail area before even being seated, which started the night off very pleasantly before we were treated to I believe 10 courses from the tasting menu. Chef Frangiadis explained every dish that was made and the level of care, experimentation and effort that went into each dish was amazing. They truly are a food lab with all of the experimentation they do with many of the dishes and cocktails. They were making almost everything by scratch, down to milling their own rye and making seasonings, butter and cocktails. Staff was very pleasant and Cecil did a tremendous jobs with the alcoholic and NA drinks and the same level of care, ingenuity and effort went into the drinks as the food. There was too much served to really go threw every dish but every dish was so good I can't even decide which was the best. Truly impeccable all around and yes it is more an event type of night that costs a bit more than the normal night out but the quality and quantity truly made it worth the trip and I would highly recommend!!

    What a magnificent dining experience!!! Every detail was fabulous. Chef is super friendly and laid back, nothing like the pretentious TV celebrity chefs. He uses advanced molecular techniques and pairs them with time tested artisanal methods like koji aging, freeze drying, and fermentation to achieve wildly delicious dishes that are works of art to the eye and palate! Tonight’s experience was cozy, comfortable, and exquisite. The beverage pairings were also spectacular. I’m excited to see how they continue to innovate and shine as a beacon of fine boutique tasting menu dining!!! Well worth the wait and will be sure to return! Bravissimo!
