424 Walnut

If you like good food prepared with creativity and is a taste treat and pared with the perfect adult beverage along with service from kind human beings; then Walnut is for you. The owner Joe came over and introduced himself and was concerned if our dining experience was up to par. He even brought us a desert, that was a slice of delicious-​ness! Our wait person Erin gave us guidance and was on point. She answered all of our questions with gusto! We are new to the area and are now devotees of Walnut, and look forward to many more dinners with great wine and conversation. Try the stuffed banana peppers, you will not be disappointed. Yum 5 out of 5…

So, I heard great things about 424 Walnut, which is why we decided to go there for my birthday dinner this year. It was not so great.
We got the halloumi and vegetables, they were good, although a little burnt.
I got the scallops which came with potatoes, salad, and broccoli slaw (cooked)
The first scallop was fine, it tasted good, good texture, the second made me gag. Something was wrong with them. I didn’t eat any more than the one and ¼. My stomach was upset for the rest of the night, and I just opened the togo container and it smells like something died in there… No bueno
The broccoli slaw was literally the kind of broccoli slaw they sell at giant eagle, cooked, and completely a mushy mess. GROSS
The potatoes were so salty I thought I would choke on them.
The salad was blah. I wish the waiter would have told us that we could choose from the other salads, but he only told that to the table behind us after we had ordered.
The key lime pie was delish, but not good enough to make up for the terrible other food.
Oh and on another note. I was served my dinner and had to ask for a fork 3 times before someone actually remembered to bring me one.

Outta towner’s getting food to-​go.
Salads and soup were perfect for a cold rainy night. But, dessert was off the charts. Had bread pudding and the marscapone cheesecake. Cheesecake was probably the best we have EVER had, anywhere. And we do cheesecake.
Thank you 424 Walnut for coming through with flying colors of cheesecake.

If you haven’t been to this restaurant you need to go! I can’t even begin to tell you how awesome the food, service and owner is at this place. I was in town for 4 nights and ate at this place 2 of the 4. If I would have found earlier I probably would have eaten here every night!

What a sweet restaurant! My first time there today and everyone was so welcoming, I felt like family and I felt like I’ve been coming here for years! I had a steak salad and it was delicious! I am also a celiac and gluten free was easily accommodated!

Best dinner ever! Hats off to the chef. Homemade deserts! Ohhh my! So full… I’m going to roll home.

This is one of the best restaurants in Pittsburgh! A friend introduced me to this place and I will be sure to come back!
We had a hard time choosing entrees because EVERYTHING looked so good. We had the stuffed banana peppers for starters. It was stuffed with veal and had the most authentic Italian sauce… I wanted to eat it all day. The soup special was a cream crab and sausage which was such perfection that I asked if the chef could make it in batches for take out. Literally, the best soup I’ve ever had.
We followed that by the duck confit salad with strawberries and balsamic. The duck was cooked perfectly! Next we had the charred Delmonico… again, cooked to perfection. At this point the owner comes over to talk to us and I was impressed with his love and passion for food. He said «If I give someone an amazing dish they will be loyal to me forever.» He was right, I am in love with this food!
Before we left, stuffed to the gills, he brought us a piece of the –housemade– Blackberry, Chocolate, Chambord cheesecake. At that point I decided that the next visit was going to be a dessert tour of 424 Walnut. Yuuuum.
Well done. Well done.

Been several times. Excellent food. Recommend the capicola sandwich for lunch. For dinner you have to start off with greens and beans – the best.
Good service as well, typically easy to park

Amazing! Heard a lot about 424 Walnut from friends so thought we would give it a try. Sooooo glad we did and we will be back.
My wife is gluten free and they are so accomodating. Found out the crab cakes have NO bread or filler so she anxiously ordered them. Excellent choice. So tasty and full of crab… big chunks!
I had the veal chop milanese and it was tremendous. Just spicy enough and huge portion.
Oh yeah… greens and beans with hot sausage as an appetizer was best I’ve had in a while.
Give this place a try… we will CERTAINLY be back!

The food is amazing. Chicken risotto, prime rib, stuffed banana peppers, etc. it’s all amazing. If by chance you’re dining there on an evening when they are serving the lamb shank with truffle risotto special, it’s your lucky day. It’s the most amazing, fall-​off-​the-​bone, tender piece of lamb I’ve ever had.

I stopped in for drinks to check the place out. I ordered a MM Manhattan on the rocks. Good drink. I had two more. My check came to more than $ 36 before tip. I won’t be visiting these robbers again. A Manhattan doesn’t cost that much in Manhattan.

Five star all the way! Food, quantity, quality, presentation, wait staff, décor, music, selections, can’t say enough good things.
A tad expensive for a lunch, but spend the $$, you won’t be disappointed.

My husband and I had two different veal selections. The veal could melt in your mouth. Mine was the veal with mild & sweet peppers. Was just the right combination of peppers. For an appetizer we had the artichoke stuffed with crab meat… excellent. We even managed to save room for bread pudding for dessert; which was amazing.

I stopped in last night and sat at the bar — some places frown upon eating at the bar — not 424. The service was great — the 2 ladies behind the bar were very attentive and provided excellent service. The seafood gumbo was off the hook — I give it a 6 out of 5. Then there was The Mascarpone Cheesecake — words or stars cannot describe how delicious this is. I was told that this is an in-​house homemade specialty. Bottom line — This is a must go to destination if you like to enjoy good food and live anywhere in the Greater Pittsburgh Area.

I went to 424 Walnut last night for a birthday dinner with my boyfriend and had an amazing meal with excellent customer service! The atmosphere was friendly and quaint, the layout is accommodating for anything — intimate dinner, larger groups, or just hang out around the bar. I will definitely be back soon!
My boyfriend had a Caesar salad and the stuffed salmon and I had the steak salad, and we split the toasted coconut pie, everything was delicious! The homemade salad dressings were great and the portions were generous. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable, he made great recommendations off the menu and wine list. They also had a great selection of seasonal craft beers on tap.

Recently had dinner here on a weekday evening. I am confused on why this place was not more crowded. The food and service was terrific. The menu was exceptional. I most certainly will return — soon.

This place is much better than its current rating. I stopped in while visiting friends on a work trip and the food was excellent. Great service and a nice atmosphere.

I have no idea why this place doesn’t have better reviews. We got stuffed pepper appetizer, stuffed salmon, and Crème brûlée. Literally everything was awesome.
I consider myself a foodie, and 424 Walnut did not disappoint!

Food was a little bland. I got the stuffed salmon and I needed to add salt and pepper to it. Others in our party ordered the stuffed eggplant Parmesan and they liked it a lot. One other person in our party had the veal and peppers and it needed salt and pepper. The chicken soup had fat on the chicken and was not tasty.

We have been here a few times now and have had great service, Jerry was our waiter very attentive .The food was fantastic, I asked for scallops and Gorgonzola pasta they were not on the menu, but I had them before. No problem they made them for me and they were Excellent. Atmosphere is always fun and busy I highly recomend !!!
