Best Restaurants for Groups in Shadyside

The atmosphere is lively and fun. The food was delicious! You order using a CR code and a server brings it to your table, which is not my favorite way of dining, but the order was correct and the servers were very good. The wine list is extensive, but we ordered draft beers, which were very good. We ordered a garlic-tomato-shrimp appetizer, brussels sprouts, broccolini, and the Chilean sea bass and risotto special. It all arrived at once, so next time we would probably space out our order to have it come in stages. Each food item was exceptionally good, all appropriately hot temperature and very flavorful. The brussels sprouts were a favorite; really crispy and excellent. Would definitely come back.

Had a reservation for Valentine’s Day. Drinks and appetizers were great. We enjoyed our seasonal drinks, especially the s’mores old fashioned and north buck. Highly recommend if you like bourbon and they also have rum/gin cocktails.

Delicious food- everything on the menu is worth ordering at least once. Beautiful, classy ambience and kind, attentive staff. This restaurant could make anyone fall in love with pasta. By far my family’s favorite place in the city. We recommend the fusilli & the Caesar salad; both are perfectly-executed modern twists on classic Italian dishes (like everything on the menu). Wonderful experience all around every time we go here. Cannot recommend Alta Via enough— it’s worth all the hype and prices.

Overalll it was a nice Valentine’s Day dinner. We decided to go early to beat the crowd but still seemed to have a long wait to get drinks and our order taken. We were there for 2 hours. Food was really good. Our Filets were over salted so we ended up boxing them up and brining home.

My son enjoyed his time at Dave an Buster's for his birthday dinner. We will be coming back.
