Dig in to Pittsburgh Restaurant Week Summer 2024
A guide to new dishes and new restaurants during this culinary celebration
It's delicious. It's a great deal. And it's one of the marquee events of every summer in Pittsburgh!
Pittsburgh Restaurant Week is a seven day feast with special menus from top restaurants going from Aug. 12-18, 2024, throughout the city. If you've never participated, this event is a fantastic time to try a new restaurant or return to an old favorite, with special menus available only for that week all at a discounted price.
For 2024, they're offering an extra weekend of these special menus Aug. 9-11 and focusing on outdoor seating to pair your meal with beautiful city views.
Summer 2024 Highlights
There are 30+ restaurants participating in Pittsburgh Restaurant Week for Summer 2024. Once the menus are released, I'll preview some of my favorite dishes below. In the meantime, you can read my recap of winter restaurant week that follows.
View the full menus of participants and learn more on the Pittsburgh Restaurant Week website.
Important: Be sure to make reservations in advance whenever possible to ensure you get to try all of the menus you like!
Senti
Authentic Italian flavors, an art-infused ambience and an unmatched wine list are all tops reasons Senti in Lawrenceville tops lists of best restaurants in Pittsburgh.
Their Pittsburgh Restaurant Week menu for this winter includes your choice of arugala salad or zuppa dell giorno (potato, leek and saffron) to start, cacio e pepe or chicken breast in Marsala sauce served with spinach and polenta fries plus tiramisu for dessert.
Emiliano's
Sorry in advance to my New Year's Resolutions. Emiliano's, family-owned and with five locations throughout the Burgh, has all your favorites on the Restaurant Week menu including sizzling fajitas, arroz con pollo, quesadillas and, of course, fried ice cream.
Christian James
Personally, I love when restaurants go all out for Pittsburgh Restaurant Week. This Downtown restaurant is offering up SIX entirely new dishes as part of their special menu including a Brazilian flank steak first course, West African Dibi lamb chops second course and an English bread pudding with smoky bourbon caramel for dessert.
Christian James is known for serving a variety of global cuisine and infusing storytelling into each dish they present. With an ever-evolving menu, I'm positive you'll be back well after Restaurant Week ends to try something new!
The Coxcomb
Sure, it's a bit of a drive outside of the city to this Monroeville eatery. But the scratch-made, farm fresh menu and partnership with Pittsburgh Pickle Co make this a can't-miss!
They're rolling out two new special dishes for Restaurant Week, including a pulled pork pizza smothered in fried onions, BBQ sauce and jalapenos, and chicken piccata gnocchi. The pasta, the pulled pork, all of it is made onsite, ensuring deliciousness in each bite.
Mary's Vine
Located in Rankin, Mary's Vine is rolling out a new menu for Pittsburgh Restaurant Week that includes a wonderful winter salad or coffee crusted venison starter, shrimp, short rib and eggplant entrees, and an apple pound cake for dessert. Of course, each dish pairs perfectly with one of their wines!
We highly recommend showing up early to your reservation and stopping in the Study Cigar Bar first to relax and enjoy a cocktail.
Muddy Waters Oyster Bar
Laissez les bons temps rouler (let the good times roll) at Muddy Waters Oyster Bar in Lawrenceville, where it's always a shucking good time with fresh shellfish and an inspired cajun menu.
Their Restaurant Week menu is beyond mouthwatering: start with deviled eggs (topped with bacon jam and a smoked trout roe), indulge with their southern fried cornish hen or gator & sausafe gumbo for the main course, and end with their signature beignets. Can we say perfect meal?
