About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
Casbah is a neighborhood restaurant and wine bar located in Pittsburgh’s East End. From the year-round garden patio to the dining room, from the cozy bar to the wine cellar, each visit can feel like a new and special experience.

Casbah offers a broad menu focused on northern Mediterranean-inspired cuisine from Italy, Spain, France and Greece that emphasizes local ingredients. All meals start with warm, house made bread from Eleven’s kitchen. A cheese plate followed by appetizers, a bowl of fresh pasta, or a four-course meal are all possibilities for an evening at Casbah.

Reservations are available up to 30 days in advance; we look forward to serving you!

    Our server Nate was very kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. He engaged in great conversation with us and reset our table between each course. The drinks were good, though when dining at a high price point I do wish for a higher variety of cordials and the white wine glass was massive lol. The food was absolutely impeccable and our dishes paired perfectly with the accompanying sides. (Pork chop and swordfish). The portions for each course were perfect and the creme brulee was the best I've ever had.

    Casbah does not disappoint. Their brunch is always special. It’s a price fix menu with appetizers, entree and a cocktail. They offer a wide variety of dishes, from traditional eggs and bacon to lamb on sourdough bread with a poached egg on top. Holiday or any weekend treat yourself to brunch at Casbah.

    Great spot with good food. Service is great, seated us right away. It is always a little noisy in there, but not so loud that you cannot have good communication. Food choices are all good and delicious.

    Casbah is a reliably exceptional restaurant. Want to help ensure a special day has a special meal? Want to have a delicious meal just because? Want to impress a colleague, date, or out-of-towner? I can always count on Casbah to come through. I have had countless birthday and other celebratory meals here and have never (literally never) been disappointed. Food is perfectly cooked. The menu has plenty of rich comforting and light bright dishes to cover all bases. I don't think you can go wrong here but the orechiette has been on the menu for years (maybe since it opened?) for a reason. Someone in your group should order it and make sure to get a bite. Cocktails are really top notch as well.

    Fantastic meal. The spring greens salad with watermelon radishes and Scottish salmon were a perfect mid-April meal. My husband and I shared the pineapple tart which was simply delicious. Our server, Heather, was a delightful person and very knowledgeable about the menu. Lovely evening.
