WWW.CITYGRILLPGH.COM
2019 CARSON STREET • PITTSBURGH, PA 15203
412-431-1770
The City Grill was founded in 1988, one of a few new, hip neighborhood restaurants to be established in the newly gentrified South Side Flats. Presenting simple fare, the best ingredients, all cooked to order by owner and chef Paul Rosato and his line cooks, City Grill has garnered a great family of regulars, both old-time city residents as well as a diverse, younger crowd looking for a delicious simplea la carte menu inspired by Mediterranean and American cuisine.
Famous for its choice burger and grill selection, City Grill’s cooks work over a wood-fired grill, and Chef Rosato personally runs the sauté station with fresh pasta dishes inspired by his parent’s Abruzzi heritage.
The menu is kept simple so the food can stand out. Ingredients are picked to offer diners excellent quality at the best prices year round. Full bar is available, and sidewalk cafe tables are available throughout the spring and summer.
Nothing quite like a bottle of wine, good food and great friends at the City Grill in the Southside of Pittsburgh! Salute!

Conquista (Conquest) is an interesteing wine. The aroma will give you a blackberry and strawberry mix that combines in your nose. You’ll also notice a hint of refreshing peppermint.
