It was our anniversary and we were seated next to the Christmas tree. Our waitress Tiffany was so sweet, and attentive! She made great recommendations and always checked in on us. Food was amazing as always! From freshness, flavors, to portion size and overall value.....outstanding!! We do not live close by so when we get the chance to go, we go. Always order a take-out meal and sauce to go, even though we have leftovers from our meal. Thank you again for making our anniversary evening so spectacular!! Can't wait for our next time ❣️

Etna

About the restaurant

We are a modern restaurant housed in an automotive garage that dates back to the 1940s. During the pre-interstate period of America, people and families often traveled across storied highways such as Route 40, Lincoln Highway or Route 66, encountering regional foods and a variety of cultural influences along the way.

In that spirit, our seasonal menu will be a ‘road trip’ that explores some of those mid-western, southern, south-western, and western dishes and techniques. Just like a garage, we will tinker with and adjust them to put together something that will make your trip to see us memorable.

We always enjoy Siempre Algo, but this dinner was particularly special. We tried lots of items we had never eaten before. I can heartily recommend the caviar on homemade chips, the shrimp tempura, the tuna tartar, and the affogato with fennel ice cream. All beyond delicious. Siempre Algo continues to be one of Pittsburgh's best and most innovative restaurants.

The first dinner my son wanted when he came home from Portland, OR for the holidays was Mercurio's pizza. So we shared 3 pizzas and a bottle of Nero Davala wine. Mercurio's in Fox Chapel is our favorite pizza place and we love the staff who are so energetic and pleasant. Happy holidays!!
