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!

    The salad was excellent. The pasta with lobster was probably the best meal I’ve ever had. It was wonderful. Our waitress was lovely. Thank you.

    Fantastic experience, Spanish octopus and Branzino were spectacular. Lamb shank was good, more like fancy pot roast. Service was amazing, seemed we always had someone cleaning up, bringing bread or food, and refilling water and wine.

    We had a wonderful dinner with friends on Saturday. Our server was very efficient given how busy it was. I had my favorite Red Pepper Cassercce with Scallops and my friends really enjoyed the Duck Breast, Branzino and Gemelli. The wine selection is great.

    Very frustrating experience. We had a 7 pm dinner reservation. When we arrived, we were told it would just be 5 minutes as the table was paying the check. We waited 45 minutes for our reservation. No apology or comp by front manager. Once seated, we wait 15 minutes to even see a waiter. Server was very slow and not engaged. We have enjoyed this restaurant before but overall poor experience.

    Casbah always delivers in terms of food & service. But some tables in their enclosed patio seating area just aren’t that comfortable. The space is nice, and warm even when it’s freezing outside but It’s really time for them to invest in some sturdier tables rather than wobbly porch furniture. Other than that, everything was excellent as usual.
