Atria's Live At Pnc Park

Atria's Catered for our Wedding. The Chef Joseph was amazing. Everyone spoke about the quality of the food. Thanks for making it such a memorable day!!!

Traditional American and Italian food. Never disappointed with the quality and flavor! I would recommend trying the pastas and specials. I ordered their thanksgiving special- I was very pleased. Great place for family and friends. They do have a bar and dining area. Great quality at a great price.

I think these guys were off their game today. I had a great chopped salad and the crab bisque that was cold and had to send back. Service needs to be a little more on point. However, they did serve us a piece of carrot cake bigger than your head.

Atria 's is a local chain of nine restaurants serving American comfort foods, this location living just outside of PNC Park on Pittsburgh 's North Shore. Founded by an Italian immigrant initially as a grocery store and then a post prohibition watering hole in the 1930s, Atria 's has become one of the city 's popular culinary institutions if popularity is measured by the number of mouths the chain has fed over the years. With a menu featuring what a Californian like me would consider to be convincing sounding Pittsburgh y dishes such as Pot Roast Nachos, Tortellini Alfredo, and Black and Gold Pierogies, this was one of my initial introductions into how locals eat in the self proclaimed City of Champions. The spot is a comfortable place to eat. Service is friendly and accurate, though not engaging. Portions are large, but this is not clean food. There are layers of sauces, gravies, and cheese on many things, covering for lower quality meats, seafood, and produce. Atria 's does the simple things well enough their chili being an example. Moderately spicy, theirs is an aggressively beefy chili with just a small amount of beans, sprinkled with shredded cheddar jack, and crowned by corn tortilla chips it is probably my favorite menu item. They also do a good burger, well sized, good char on the surface and cooked to your preference, served with a standard condiment mix of mayo, mustard, pickles, lettuce, onions, and tomato. Atria 's is in the business of making food, not miracles. Occasionally, you 'll see something interesting and off beat being offered as a special. This was the case earlier this year when Atria 's was serving an Oktoberfest menu in June. I ordered the enormous Schweinshaxe (aka pork shank) which was served with two hearty sides: skin on mashed potatoes and spaetzle, not to mention gravy. Despite the Cheesecake Factory level portions, I came away a little disappointed. Don 't get me wrong, I enjoyed the velvety softness and succulence of the pork but everything else was just a bit off. The gravy was too sweet. The potatoes were under seasoned. The spaetzle, bizarrely mixed with saurkraut, was over cooked. Such is the result when this restaurant tries to be ambitious. I wouldn 't recommend anyone go out of their way to dine at Atria 's, but this is a place where getting a good quality meal is a possibility if you choose wisely. You won 't be disappointed if you stick with the simpler dishes here, and you should look for the items that have obviously been on their menu for decades.

Stopped here for some lunch and it was great huge portions and good food. Service was quick
