Morcilla - Pittsburgh (PA)

3 /5 rouzbeh amintafreshi: Pretty mediocre experience. Everything was utterly underwhelming and drenched in oil. We tried assortment of tapas dishes, and neither stood out, all I tasted was oil. The octopus and the oxtail perhaps were the nicest ones (still drenched in oil). However, worst part was the main dish, not sure how is that possible but the chicken and bed of rice were so so salty that it was almost bitter. I have never tasted something that salty, and I even asked the waiters and seems like that’s how it should be. Almost inedible!! It would’ve been a great dish if it wasn’t for the salt. Overall, nothing stood out that I can recommend.

5 /5 Dan Oliver: Very cozy place, interesting vibe, low lighting. Food was very good and there were a lot of interesting options. The raw scallop was a surprise favorite. Service was generally pretty good, but there were somewhat large gaps between visits from the waitress which did lead to waiting to order new drinks and get refills on water. It was not overly busy, but maybe half the seats were full on a Saturday night, fairly late.

5 /5 Emily P.: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Dine in Pittsburgh! My husband and I finally snagged a reservation at Morcilla after hearing rave reviews—and it absolutely lived up to the hype! We started with the oxtail and fried artichokes from the snacks menu—both were incredible. Then came the ribs: phenomenal. But the standout for me was the large plate of chicken and rice—absolutely divine. Every dish was bursting with flavor and executed with thoughtfulness and precision. We ended on a sweet note with the churros, which did not disappoint. The vibe? Low lighting (if that matters to you)—but it adds to the romantic mood. Your eyes adjust. It’s very hip, very trendy, and just cool. I had a non-alcoholic pineapple drink (last on the drink menu), and it was so good I ordered a second. The whole experience felt almost spiritual—each bite better than the last. As someone who’s binged every season of The Bear, I could tell this place runs on heart, hustle, and serious culinary skill. Our server was warm and attentive, and the whole team worked together seamlessly. Morcilla is a gem. Just wow.

5 /5 G Nico “Nick”: Food was not just great it was fantastic. I showed up around 8:45 (closes at 9) I was accommodated by the hostess. I had Fresh bread, charcuterie, and whole trout beautiful presentation by the chefs. Anastasia my server has a great personality and was a pleasure to talk too. The ambience was not overwhelming. Overall, very enjoyable.

5 /5 Michael Steiner: Exquisite service and food at Morcilla pittsburgh. The creativity of the menu, to my mind, makes Morcilla one of the best in greater Pittsburgh. The chef and team deserve a Michelin star. Bravo Bravissimo Michael & Hanna
