Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Morcilla, a gem in Pittsburgh's dining scene, promises a vibrant tapas experience with "delicious food" and "attentive service." The small plates and seasonal dishes, like the standout oxtail and octopus, are "amazing." While the ambiance is intimate, the noise level can be high. Ideal for special occasions.

    Great service and cozy ambiance at half light. Food was good but menu was very limited. Just basic cocktails, nothing creative from the bar. Wine list is ok.

    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.

    Service was incredible, as always, though the quality of the food has slipped significantly in recent years.

    Having been there before several years ago, I was disappointed in the food - specifically the Iberico shaved ham was dry and tough. However our waitress, Rachel, was a super star - dry attentive and even gave us suggestions for bars in the area.

    The small plates and charcuterie were wonderful. We always love trying a bunch of different things so having a variety of small plates and shareable was a treat! Our server was friendly and very helpful, the atmosphere was fun and relaxed, and the seating was cozy but didn’t feel cramped

    We had a marvelous experience tonight at Morcilla. Starting with our terrific server, Rachel. She was affable, knowledgeable, and attentive. She recommended a delicious red wine from Gaillac that was precisely as she described it, and it was a great value! The food was inventive and delicious starting with the Gildas tapas (anchovies, peppers and olives on a toothpick and baguette slice).. The beef tartare was made to order. The beet salad of with sliced apples and a creamy sauce was excellent. What fun!!
