We put care into our vegetarian dishes too, including making our own tempeh, falafel, and veggie patties from scratch.

    From the moment we walked into Eddie V’s in downtown Pittsburgh, we knew we were going to have a wonderful dining experience. The service was absolutely exceptional, and our waiter, Ian, made the evening truly special. He had such a warm, upbeat energy and was so attentive and kind, especially as we were dining with our senior parents. The food was spectacular from start to finish. The parmesan sole was perfectly prepared, the caviar baked potatoes were incredible, and the bananas foster butter cake was unforgettable. Five stars all around! Eddie V’s delivered a beautiful evening with outstanding food, service, and hospitality. We can’t wait to return.

    The service was great and the food was fantastic. It was our anniversary so they sent out a complimentary dessert - the Strawberry Hibiscus Cheesecake, which we agreed, was the most incredible cheesecake we have ever had!!
