fter years of cooking for others, Joseph Tambellini finally realized his dream when he opened his eponymous restaurant in 2007, along with his wife, Melissa. Located in a beautifully renovated house in Highland Park, the menu serves up the fresh pastas, fish, steak, chicken and veal that Pittsburgh diners would expect from a chef who bears the famous Tambellini name. Handmade signature desserts and an extensive wine list enhance the menu offerings. Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner or a family gathering, Joseph Tambellini will make you feel welcome. Joe kindly shared his recipe for Mafalda Giancarlo, one his popular pasta dishes.
