Pittsburgh's summer restaurant week starts today and there is still time to make your reservation.
The intrigue: From today through Sunday, about 50 local eateries are offering special three-course meals at discounted rates to draw in even the most skeptical diners.
Ryan's recommendations: Skip the chains and use this opportunity to try a restaurant less traveled or a place that has maybe intimidated you in the past.
Cafe Momentum in Downtown is serving fried burrata and farro and leek risotto, and the money goes toward a good cause.
Scratch & Co. in Troy Hill is hyper focused on seasonal veggies with corn soup and heirloom tomato salad to complement their red wine braised beef or cauliflower entrees.
LeMont in Mount Washington offers elegance, glamour and world-class views, and for just $45.25 this week.
Pro tip: Make sure to mention Restaurant Week so you receive the proper pricing.
