My favorite restaurant in the city. Outstanding quality across the board but after 3-4 separate visits the last few years I have to call out the Sesame Calimari specifically. Out of this world. Will continue to come back yearly. Cheers to Melissa and the staff for yet another wonderful visit.

The ONLY knock is parking which is a larger city issue. We met Melissa, co-owner and wonderful host. We had the greens, canellini beans and sausage for an appetizer. Chef's kiss. We had the pork chop special and flounder. The flounders was really good, but the pork chop, outstanding. Absolutely! I had a souped up salad with burrito and beets. Excellent. Butterscotch pound great to top off the evening was nice finish. It had vanilla ice cream and candied pecans.

Everything was outstanding. The meal was so well paced, the food exceptionally (the greens and beans were to die for) delicious and the atmosphere calming, authentic, and genuine. They even wrapped our food for us after each course, no restaurants ever do that anymore!!! We got to speak with the owners who were delightful. This probably one of the best hidden gems in Pittsburgh. Such an amazing and special place!

I haven’t been to a Tambellinis since the mid 90’s downtown before I moved away from Pittsburgh. Went back tonight on Bryant Street and had the most amazing dinner! From the Zucchini and Crab Balls for appetizers to the Chicken Romano and the Lava Cake that we shared for dessert. Great food. Great atmosphere. And great service by Jamie S. Will definitely be returning!

Charlotte was our server and she was excellent. We were in an Italian mood so we went with the rigatoni with Alfredo and grilled chicken and the homemade cheese ravioli. Started our meal with their famous fried zucchini. Delicious red sauce. Wonderful meal. Lovely intimate setting.
