The 38 Best Pittsburgh Restaurants - Eater

"Located in Washington, Pennsylvania, about 40 minutes outside of Pittsburgh, Al an’ Rubens is worth the drive. Chef Al Collins, who co-owns the restaurant with his wife Leesa, turns out award-winning Italian comfort food with soulful twists, like the game-changing mozzarella in carrozza: a mozzarella sandwich that’s breaded, deep-fried, and topped with Parmesan cream sauce. Combined with a variety of pasta dishes, house-made sausages, and other classics, this is a great place for family dinners and date nights. You’ll have plenty of time to digest dinner as you choose from the day’s rotation of more 260 different cheesecake flavors." - Briana L White
