We put care into our vegetarian dishes too, including making our own tempeh, falafel, and veggie patties from scratch.

The food was so so good. My wife called the calamari the best in Pittsburgh. Our server Nate was awesome and recommended perfect meals. 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!

We had a wonderful Christmas celebration with our friends. The food, service and wine were delicious and the setting was warm and welcoming. I was looking forward to the chicken pastina soup that I remembered was made like my grandmothers. It was different this time, but still delicious. Merry Christmas!

I had lunch at City Works to celebrate a milestone with a friend. It was the perfect space. I also asked for a quiet part of the restaurant so we could hear each other, and they found us the perfect spot. Food was excellent, service was great.
