Good To Be Here! Serving Pittsburghers since 1930. Whether you're enjoying our food at our restaurant, at home, or at a wedding - Atria's makes it Good to Be Here. Atria's History The original Atria's in Mt. Lebanon was owned by Italian immigrant Joe Atria and dates to 1930. It began as a grocery store, then expanded into a barbershop and dry cleaners. In 1933 prohibition ended and Atria's began to sell beer. Along came food to feed the hungry - both highbrow attorneys and blue-collar working men alike. In 1998, Pittsburgh natives Pat and Nancy McDonnell transformed Joe Atria's historical Mt. Lebanon landmark into an upscale casual restaurant that today serves up American classics in neighborhoods all around the Greater Pittsburgh Area

    Wonderful Bacon wrapped filet and Baked Potato. Kiley was our waitress and so friendly and attentive. The manager and kitchen manager stopped at our table to ask about the meal. Told both we were extremely happy with the meal and preparation. Ad a chance to let the Chef know we were happy with the steak. Definitely be back as one of our favorite restaurants.

    Always an excellent experience with excellent service. We shared the beet salad and I can't believe that I thought that it needed more arugula (not a super fan of arugula) but there was generous portions of the cheese and the delicious candied walnuts. I had the filet which was great with ample portions. My partner had the crab cakes which were above average (but we are crab cake snobs as my family was from the Eastern Shore of MD (home of the blue crab) as we prefer them broiled rather than fried. The Black Manhattan was tasty but I have to remember to order it straight up because it came on a pile of ice which I had to dig out. It was a Valentine's Day celebration and a nice night.

    This is a great place for a casual dinner with friends. The menu has a great variety and everything is very good. Our waiter was Aaron, and he was very alert and attentive. He knew all about the menu and was easily able to answer our questions. We didn’t have to ask for anything twice, he was ‘on the ball’.

    We enjoyed the food -- we had different entrees, both very good. Good value for the price. Generous pours of the wine we chose. The restaurant was busy but not too crowded, so we didn't feel rushed.
