Pizzeria Davide opened a little over three weeks ago to great success. Such great success, that they sold out of large pizzas and small pizza boxes. The pizza shop, or window really, is from the team behind the delectable DiAnoia's Eatery, which immediately raises expectations. You can't miss Pizzeria Davide, because the area around the window is painted in bold colors that mimic the Italian flag. The pizza window is located behind DiAnoia's Eatery, so you only have to travel

Mediterra Café is situated in the picturesque town of Sewickley, just outside of Pittsburgh. It fits in perfectly with all of the other darling storefronts that offer everything from beauty products to books. Mediterra Café is an outpost of the artisan bakery, Mediterra Bakehouse. I've been wanting to try this spot since I first saw them on Instagram. Every single thing they posted looked absolutely delectable. Let me tell you everything tasted as good as it looked. Mediterra

Pittsburgh is bursting at the seams with new restaurants and a girl only has so much time (and money) to sample them all. In Pittsburgh's diverse and ever-changing restaurant landscape, you can truly find something for everyone, which is something I love. Here are four restaurants that showcase this perfectly. They offer everything from German and Alpine inspired eats to hearty baked goods to homemade hard cider to tacos with a twist. I can't wait to sample all of this goodn

A little slice of Parisian paradise recently opened in Pittsburgh and its name is Poulet Bleu. This latest venture from owners Richard Deshantz and Tolga Sevdik lives up to (and perhaps even surpasses) the exquisite taste and atmosphere of its older siblings Butcher and the Rye and täkō (one of my personal favorites). Upon approaching the restaurant, there is a darling courtyard with a fountain and yellow striped awnings. It just screamed France to me. I can bet that come spr

I'm introducing a new series here on Nourish, where I explore some of my favorite Pittsburgh neighborhoods through the restaurants, shops, museums, and special spots that inhabit them. My first spot is Lawrenceville, as it's one of my favorite places in the city. Filled with a wide array of cuisines and an eclectic mix of shops, Lawrenceville is the perfect place to get lost for an afternoon. The Vandal The Vandal is one of the most aesthetically pleasing restaurants in the c

Smallman Galley's first set of restaurants set the bar high with juicy burgers and inventive toasts, among other tasty dishes. It was clear that Smallman Galley and its inhabitants were successful and showed us what we already knew: Pittsburghers love good food. In June the first round of chefs closed up shop, but hopefully they will soon be back on the Pittsburgh restaurant scene with their own ventures. In the meantime, four new restaurants opened at Smallman Galley in June

DiAnoia's Eatery opened a little over 7 months ago and since then it has awed restaurant goers with its bright interior and authentic Italian food. Located in the Strip District, Pittsburgh's foodie capital, it's no wonder DiAnoia's Eatery is thriving. I wrote about wanting to try DiAnoia's Eatery back in February and now I've been twice, because the food is just that tasty. Both times I've been blown away by the copious amounts of gooey cheese they have in their dishes, as w

Taco lovers rejoice! Pittsburgh's favorite spot for inventive and upscale tacos, täkō, is now serving weekday lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. This is perfect for those who have had trouble getting a reservation at täkō's crowded dinner service. täkō is one of my favorite restaurants, so I was itching to sample their lunch menu to see if it was as tasty as dinner. I was not disappointed. Täkō's lunch service is fast-casual style, so you order at their open air kitchen and they de

The Strip District, Pittsburgh's foodie capital, is the perfect place for Smallman Galley, Pittsburgh's first and only restaurant incubator. Smallman Galley is filled with four unique restaurants, a well-stocked bar, and an adorable coffee counter. The owners, two U.S. Navy Lieutenants, were inspired by all of the different food halls they saw around the world. They opened Smallman Galley with the aim to introduce new chefs and their delicious food to Pittsburgh, which allows

Smoke, located in the heart of Lawrenceville (the hipster capital of Pittsburgh), is by far one of my favorite restaurants in Pittsburgh. The way they incorporate smoked and grilled meats, as well as crisp vegetables and spicy sauces into their tacos is unreal. Smoke has everything a lover of Tex-Mex could desire. Some highlights of the menu include the juicy pork taco with spicy apricot habanero barbeque sauce, the creamy mac and cheese, and the smoky St. Louis-Style ribs.

Both Pittsburgh and D.C. (my two home bases) have become meccas for new and exciting restaurant ventures. Since I'm always behind the times, I still have a fair number of these new restaurants to try in 2017. These restaurants are diverse with everything from cheesy pierogies to savory panini to juicy burgers. Read on, if you're looking for new restaurants to spice up your 2017.

If Starbucks isn't doing it for you anymore, never fear. Pittsburgh is becoming a haven for independent coffee shops that are filled with gorgeous decor, foamy lattes, and welcoming baristas. So, if you survive on caffeine alone, read on for the best cafes all located within city limits. Caffè d'Amore Caffè d'Amore is a cozy shop located on Butler Street and it's filled with the largest menu of drinks I've ever seen. They had everything from rooibos teas to chili mochas to af
