Carmella’s Plates & Pints is the first restaurant for co-owners, Carmella Salem and Michael Alberter. Our kitchen creates upscale comfort cuisine.
Our dining room has a warm and cozy feel due to the wood- beamed cathedral ceiling, open fireplace, taxidermy and stained glass windows that adorn the dining room. Our guests feel as though they are tucked away at some destination lodge that exists in the heart of the Historic Southside. Local meats are delivered daily with Wild Game plates on the menu such as our staple plates like the Bison Burger and Smoked Wild Boar Meatballs. We do have an intimate 60 seat dining room and ask that guests please call us for parties of 6 or more to make a reservation. Our expansive Whiskey Bar boasts over 500 Selections. Enjoy 11 Wines on Tap / 27 Craft beers on Tap / 11 Cocktails on Tap.

    Great overall experience! Allergy concious. They are very allergy conscious and ask for any food allergies straight away. Normally someone with me is GF but they were not there to truly test that full experience. Next time they visit home with me we fully plan to come back to give it the full experience!

    I didn’t know Carmella’s had brunch! And now that I know, I will be back. It was busy, the food was good, and the service was excellent. I had the Carmella’s brunch plate with sausage, eggs, fruit and waffles. Fun and it was an excellent sampler of other things on the menu. We were going to a matinee at the City Theater so it was a great first stop.

    We had an excellent dinner at Carmella’s Plates and Pints! Everything from the service to the food was top notch. It is an absolutely beautiful space and the team there is fantastic. Our table especially loved the pierogi appetizer and bison meatloaf entrée. Their beverage program is one of the best in the area as well. Highly recommend for your next date night or dinner with friends/clients!

    We've eaten at Carmella's for dinner or Sunday brunch many times since they opened and always had a wonderful meal and experience. This time, we were just meeting for drinks and appetizers in the bar area, at a high-top table. Our waitress/bartender was friendly and attentive. I'm gluten intolerant and they had many GF options on the menu. We ordered the corn battered Nashville Shrimp Skewers, which were delicious, as were the Herb Confit Potato Wedges with aioli. One of the 3 of us dining together that night had the always satisfying Wagyu Burger. 2 of us had beers from the extensive beer list and I opted for a GF hard cider. As it was the end of November, the restaurant was decorated beautifully for the holiday season. The little Santa hats atop all of the bottles behind the impressively well-stocked bar was something to see! Carmella's Plates & Pints is undoubtedly one of the best bar/restaurants in Pittsburgh's Southside!
