Soft sunlight and warm damask greet you upon entering. A wall of wine welcomes you to the bar where the aromas of the kitchen draw you in. Dark wood and supple fabrics are accented by the sexy curves of glass sculpture while nymphs cavort secretly on the walls. Welcome to our village. Have a glass of wine, some crusty bread, a taste of artisanal cheese, and relax on the patio. We’ll take care of everything.
Friendly flavors of Italy, France, and Spain lightly accented by exotica from the deeper Mediterranean welcome you to Casbah. The arugula salad, a Pittsburgh classic, features the perfect balance of spicy arugula, saltycrispy pancetta, earthy goat cheese, deep umami from roasted cremini mushrooms, and a touch of thyme and lemon in the warm pancetta vinaigrette. The pork chop with greens, roasted garlic cream, and a seasonally flavored risotto, is a great dish. Perfect fish dishes are accented with citrus, olives, and fresh herbs, with light preparations. Big pasta dishes like Orrechiette with Grilled Chicken, Sage and Goat Cheese and Short Rib Ravioli offer comfort well beyond the red sauce. But the big winner is America’s best lamb, Elysian Fields Farms lamb. Whether roasted loin, braised shank, or any other preparation, the magic of Keith Martin’s lamb is on full display here.
