It's here again! The week that is all about discounted delicious food around PGH - Pittsburgh Restaurant Week. This summer it's held during August 12th through 18th, and there are few new faces in the lineup of participating restaurants - however, I'm disregarding those for a handful of places with menus that put them on my short list.
My top choices {tune in Husband!} for this PRW edition:
Lidia's {Strip District - $35 Four-Course Fixed Price Meal}
My picks aren't 'new restaurants,' but the menu choices just drew me in. Lemon basil crostata? Goat Milk ricotta and sweet pea ravioli? White cheddar grits? Yes. If these three don't start your stomach rumblin', check out the full listing here.

Great picks!
ReplyDeleteOMG I feel like it was JUST restaurant week, how did it come up again so fast?! Those are great picks, Lidia's is a consistent favorite of mine.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to try Tender, UP or Willow since I haven't been to any of them before...but $8 lunch at Andy's? I CANNOT pass that up!
And now I am really hungry!
ReplyDeleteThanks! We should have dinner at one!
ReplyDeleteRight! I missed the last one, so I'm ramped up for this next one ;)
ReplyDeleteThey've added several new locations since I last looked - I may have to revise!
