Years ago I'd never have imagined myself liking sushi, but somewhere along the line I have come to enjoy it very much. There are several sushi places in Pittsburgh but it's not exactly the town's . . .

I am not the biggest fan of Italian-American food, as I've mentioned in a prior report I wrote about a place near where I live called Minutello's. However I know that there is good food . . .

I've written about several restaurants owned by the Pittsburgh Big Burrito consortium, but haven't yet gotten to Casbah, the one closest to us. This is a nice casual dining restaurant on . . .

I have not been a big fan of American-Italian food, at least since I had genuine Italian food in Italy itself. It seems that too many "Italian" restaurants serve pasta with uncreative . . .

The Regent Square area of Pittsburgh is home to several restaurants that I've been intrigued by for some time, but have for one reason or another only gotten around to visiting lately. Having visited . . .

(Note, this post was written a couple of years ago. Red Room has gone through some changes lately; I'm not sure if their menu is the same. We will return, and I'll write a new post . . .

Several years ago, I would never have thought of myself as a sushi eater. I really wasn't even interested in it; considering it an item for people who were more interested in gourmet eating than I. . . .
