Morcilla is my favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh because the food is always delicious. I always have the octopus, which has never been disappointing. This time, I tried the gildas, which blended wild anchovies with olives. Really tasty. I had the beef tatar, which everyone In our group thought was one of the best they have had. Lynn's gin and tonic could turn a McDonald's hamburger into a gourmet meal. Like all restaurants these days, the sound level is on the high side, and the ambiance is more like a busy European bistro. The service is attentive, and the dishes come out as they are ready, so nothing has been sitting, waiting to be picked up.

Everything was great except the lobster bisque. It tasted more like tomato soup. The steak was very good. The waitress was terrific.

One of the best meals I’ve had in awhile. Fantastic classic(ish) Italian dishes, delicious cocktails, and amazing service. They even gave us dessert and Prosecco on the house for desserts taking a few extra minutes and that was not needed at all - service was perfect. Will 100% come back.
