This week’s Pittsburgh hot spot is Cioppino's Restaurant & Cigar Bar! I love this place so much because the staff is amazing and will cater to your every need. If you are there for a special occasion and make a reservation in advance, they will even make custom keepsake menus for your table. the food is always delicious, and whether you are in the restaurant, lounge, or cigar bar, the menu is phenomenal.  The cigar bar is attached to the restaurant and lounge, and is a gorgeous wood clad escape. Even if you do not partake in cigars, you shouldn't hesitate to spend time there because the ventilation is impressive and the bar fixture is a sight to see. They strive for a true experience, and also have valet parking, and live music in the lounge Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
