Dive Into Flavor: Pittsburgh's Culinary Experiences

From chef-driven dishes to new restaurant offerings, Pittsburgh has built a reputation as a foodie city.

Pittsburgh has forged its legacy as a foodie city, but while you can easily go into the community to get some Pittsburgh staples, some are more of an experience than a simple sit-down restaurant. From curated multi-course meals to cooking classes from generational chefs, Pittsburgh has everything you need to feel immersed in our world-class culinary scene.

One by Spork

Where: 5430 Penn Ave (Bloomfield)
Hours: 6pm - 9pm, Thurs-Sun

One by Spork is intimate by design. 18 guests gather around the circular chef’s counter - close enough to the open kitchen to watch a sauce get finished, and ask the person who made your drink what’s in it. You’ll feel the difference between a restaurant that serves you food and one that tells a story through it. Your evening moves with intention, from a welcome in the lounge through each course. Every dish and pairing is introduced by the people who created them. Your experience is polished, personal, precise and alive.
