 Thanks to chef-owner Matt Porco, the bar has been raised on casual fine dining in Pittsburgh. After working for several years as sous chef at Veritas in Manhattan, the Aspinwall-born Porco returned to family and home to open his own restaurant. He designed the small, smart eatery, incorporating wrought iron accents, warm neutral colors, comfortable seating and a prominent temperature-controlled wine room---a mission statement of sorts, since Porco’s philosophy is to balance both food and wine. The upscale menu of contemporary American and French dishes changes seasonally. A fresh take on lunch brings a salmon burger on a Kaiser roll with rémoulade sauce, or a short rib melt, with provolone and honey-thyme caramelized onions. A roster of nightly specials produces such items as wild mushroom ravioli with fresh morels, Parmesan and fava beans, and peach crêpes with caramel corn ice cream and farm fresh peaches. The ideal meal here is a chef’s tasting menu paired knowledgeably to wines. |
