there's nothing quite like a little ~much needed~ date night at the lovely Fish nor Fowl. This is a beautiful space, it could be described as a "modern Italian spot". The elevated chicken parm was one of the best dishes we've had in a while and the aged prosciutto and burrata was truly outstanding! we would go back and order both of these again.if you need a date night this weekend check out this spot with all the vibes!

Prosciutto & burrata - The portion of prosciutto was huge! What's not to like?! Caesar salad - I didn't really enjoy this because the anchovy flavor was extremely strong. I know that's what Caesar dressing is made of but this was too much for my liking. Nothing against the way they prepared it, just not my taste. It was large and definitely shareable for 2 people.Mushroom pappardelle - The noodles were fresh and delicious and it was packed with mushrooms. It comes in a butter "sauce" but I do wish it was maybe a cream-based sauce as I feel it lacked a little bit of flavor, in my opinion. The service was outstanding. Our server was knowledgeable about the wine and took the time to answer all of our questions. The GM stopped by a few times which is always appreciated too. I definitely will return but will probably stick to the whipped ricotta & focaccia bread, chicken Parmesan, and rigatoni.

Came here for my birthday on a Wednesday night! There was no parking but we got lucky enough to find street parking right in front of the restaurant. The restaurant is a black building with a reallyyyy small sign saying Fish nor Fowl so it was kind of hard to find. At the restaurant, it was pretty empty with very dim lighting and we got seated for our reservation immediately. The host and server were so kind and treated us very well! They offer to take your jacket too.We ordered the beef tartare per the server's recommendation which came on a bone with some bread and the whipped ricotta with some bread. They were both amazing appetizers and I was almost full before our main course came out. The spiced meatball wasn't super spicy and the chicken Parmesan was amazing! The chicken was cooked perfectly. We ordered the side pasta per server's recommendation and it was good but tasted like any other pasta. We got two cookies for my birthday which were sweet and delicious and made my birthday extra special. Our server boxed our leftovers for us as well. Will definitely be back:)

My latest visit I sat at the bar for drinks and dessert! Another wonderful experience! The RD restaurant group has really committed to putting zero proof mocktails on their menu, one of which included a zero proof espresso martini. Doing dry January, I had to give this a try! It was honestly amazing, perfectly crafted. It's great to be able to feel like you're indulging in a nice cocktail, while it's non alcoholic. We also had the tiramisu which was to die for, and the chai mousse which is always solid!

Delightful time! I had visited Fish Nor Fowl right when they reopened, but this was my first time back in a while. And the experience was even better! We were sat upstairs at a table slightly elevated, which felt very intimate in a positive way! The decor is very chic. We were greeted with waters and we ordered drinks-- I ordered a Mocktail, while my two friends ordered a cocktail and wine. All rave reviews on the drinks! We shared ricotta dip + bread, as well as the chicken Parmesan (which came in the shape of a heart for Galentine's Day!! And was plenty big enough for three to share). YUM! And we each got our own pasta and dessert, which also some to take home for our husbands. We were there a long time (2.5 hours) so it's a great place to catch up with friends or a romantic night out.

I honestly have never had a bad meal at fish nor fowl. I usually try to stay away from saying 'my favorite' but when it comes to their chicken parm - it is my favorite. The homemade pasta is a must have always. From the decor to the ambiance it's clean and sleek and everything you could want with an awesome open kitchen and bar you can see from the lower level. Service was on point and I appreciate the care they put into it all! 10/10

If you're looking for a place in Pittsburgh that nails atmosphere and exceptional food, Fish Nor Fowl on Penn Ave is where it's at. The vibe here is warm and sophisticated, perfect for date night, girls' night, or really any night you want something memorable. The staff are incredibly welcoming, and you can tell the chefs are passionate about each dish they send out.I was excited to return to Fish Nor Fowl after they reopened, and let me tell you, it's still as fantastic as ever. We kicked things off with the whipped ricotta. While the buckwheat focaccia is a $10 add-on, it's worth every penny--think fluffy, buttery perfection that pairs like a dream with the creamy ricotta. This isn't the place to pinch pennies; it's a place to indulge.Then, the chef surprised us (thank you so so so much!) with a sneak peek of a new pasta dish they're rolling out: Buttercup Squash Scarpinocc. Imagine creamy, sweet squash in pillowy pasta, balanced by a squash soubise, brown butter, hazelnut chili crisp, and sage. It's the ultimate fall comfort dish and honestly, one of the best pastas I've had in a while.And then came the showstopper: the chicken parm. This dish has a rep for being top-notch, and it lives up to every bit of the hype. Huge, perfectly breaded, and topped with a blanket of melted cheese, it's honestly heavenly. Jess got the bucatini to go so I didnt try that but it looked fab. We were brought little cookies to end the night and it was the cherry on top to a perfect and #GOUDapproved evening If you're a fan of inventive food and great vibes, Fish Nor Fowl should be on your list. I'm already dreaming of when I'll be back.

Ambience in this place are great. Gives me NYC vibes without the fast pace. They play good music. Service is very high quality from when you enter the door until your leaveFav Italian in Pittsburgh. Best chicken parm (crispy). Side of pasta was solid can tell it's handmade there. Mussels very good and almost rival point Brugge but slightly different more red/pink sauce instead of white. Second favorite mussels in Pittsburgh. Spicy meatballs also good. Side pasta good.

Second time visiting FnF and it was such a triumph, they've really found their groove over the last few years since reopening! The space is still extremely chic and elegant with many modern elevated touches, but the menu has been more finely tuned and the service was excellent throughout the evening. On this Galentine's visit, I was able to finally try the famed chicken parm, and it lived up to the hype! It's a must-try, and a great option to share with your date or with a group as an addition to the meal. My friends and I each tried a pasta dish, as well as splitting the focaccia and ricotta starters. My fusilli dish was excellent, so unique and so cozy with its ingredients and its textures. The homemade pasta is notable and memorable. I also tried a martini and a negroni - both excellent and well-crafted! For dessert I enjoyed tiramisu, which was mostly taken home with my leftovers (I was so full), but made for a lovely re-visit a few nights later. I loved sitting on the 2nd level, it's really different in terms of ambiance compared to the main dining room, I felt like we could really talk and hear each other much better! That being said, I would love to return and sit at the bar for a beverage and some apps in the near future. Cheers to Fish Nor Fowl!

The food was delicious. We didn't have reservations, so we sat at bar. Service was not so good, but probably because we were at bar. I watched tables get much more interaction. The portions were very small for the price and we left hungry... which is never good. I will emphasize that the food was great... especially the duck... but the price guide is misleading. If that isn't a concern for you... go and enjoy.
