Our menu is a mixture of familiar Pittsburgh foods (think pierogies, hamburgers, French fries) and French bistro classics (beef tartare, raclette, mussels), and seasonal classics that come and go throughout the year. We put care into our vegetarian dishes too, including making our own tempeh, falafel, and veggie patties from scratch. Menu items change frequently--usually every day--and reflect many long-standing relationships we have with farms and breweries in our region. In addition to reservations, we also have a thirty seat bar that is first come, first serve. We don’t know exactly how old the bar is, but it’s at least seventy years old (probably older) and very cozy. Our friendly bartenders are here to make something you like.

We got one of the specials, the scallops. Server failed to mention the cost was $60, way higher than any other entree on the main menu. Not cool to subtly gauge you customers. Fried Burara outstanding as was Not Your Grandma's Strawberry Pretzel dessert. Crab cakes very good. Great ambience. Very noisy. Need something that absorbs sound.

I met a friend for dinner on a Thursday night and we had a great time catching up. The food is delicious, the service prompt, warm, and friendly, and the atmosphere cozy. Parking can be somewhat of a bear, but Lucca's is worth that relatively small inconvenience.

Every year when I receive my big burrito birthday coupon, I use it at Alta Via because I think it's the best value. Brian was our server and he was outstanding! He was so friendly and did an amazing job! The food was delicious too! I will definitely be back again soon.
