Cc's Cafe - Pittsburgh

Cozy place with delicious Italian food! Homemade flavor and family service. The meatballs and braciole was amazing. Can’t wait to come back!

We always enjoy dining at CC's. The restaurant has a cozy ambiance and serves delicious Italian food. I highly recommend trying the beet salad and any of their pasta dishes. We particularly enjoyed the butternut squash ravioli. It's great to know that they source many of their ingredients locally.

In my opinion, this restaurant serves average Italian food with high prices. The quality of ingredients could be improved, especially the meats. I have traveled all over the country for work, from Seattle to Miami, and I can confidently say that the food here is just okay. The sauce was good but a bit too sweet for my taste. The chicken lacked flavor and was tough, most likely due to being raised on corn. The sausage was also bland. Overall, I was not impressed with the food, especially considering the prices were higher than they should be. The atmosphere, however, was nice.

Honestly, really wasn’t a fan. Spent almost $100 on tough chicken and crab cakes. Cakes were decent, the side accompaniment was squash/eggplant, overcooked to mush, not much flavor. Presentation of the chicken was nice, but it ended there. You could tell the chicken was cheap woody, earthy tasting, tough. Might come back for some apps at the bar, that’s about it though. Please educate your servers on how to properly pronounce your specials. Just a heads up.

The new chef is doing an excellent job at this restaurant. The crab cakes were delicious, as well as my husband's butternut squash ravioli. We look forward to trying either the meatballs or bolognese next time. The wine list has also improved significantly.
