Casbah is a neighborhood restaurant and wine bar located in Pittsburgh’s East End. From the year-round garden patio to the dining room, from the cozy bar to the wine cellar, each visit can feel like a new and special experience.

Casbah offers a broad menu focused on northern Mediterranean-inspired cuisine from Italy, Spain, France and Greece that emphasizes local ingredients. All meals start with warm, house made bread from Eleven’s kitchen. A cheese plate followed by appetizers, a bowl of fresh pasta, or a four-course meal are all possibilities for an evening at Casbah.

Reservations are available up to 30 days in advance; we look forward to serving you!

    Mussels were overcooked, white wine was not dry as it should be done meaning not kept at the right temperature. Very noisy and overpriced.

    Our dinners were absolutely delicious. My son had the short rib ravioli, my husband had the swordfish, and I had the branzino. Doesn't get any better. Page took care of us. She is so knowledgeable of the menu and the wine. We love Casbah!

    We went during pasta special event. The pasta was a disappointment. My husband got the crab pasta special dish - it was fishy smelling and tasting - we heard the next table over make the same comment. I had the turkish pasta special - minimal taste - overall a disappointment. The bread, mushroom soup and kale salad were tasty and the drinks were good but we won’t be rushing back.
