Yet Another Pittsburgh Restaurant Nationally Lauded

PITTSBURGH, PA — A popular Pittsburgh eatery featuring Spanish cuisine has been named among the Top 100 Restaurants in America for 2024 by dining website OpenTable.

The list is sourced from more than 14 million verified OpenTable diner reviews and dining metrics from Oct. 1, 2023 to Sept. 30, 2024. Those metrics include diner ratings, reservation demand, percentage of five-star reviews among other factors.

The information gathered from those sources were used to generate an overall score used to rank the list.

Morcilla on Butler Street in Lawrenceville was the only restaurant in Pittsburgh to make the list and one of just two in Pennsylvania to do so. The other was Saloon Restaurant in Philadelphia.

Morcilla is the second Pittsburgh restaurant this week to be nationally recognized. On Monday, Food website Eater named Bloomfield eatery Fet-Fisk one of the nation's 14 best new restaurants.

On OpenTable, Morcilla has 4.9 out of 5 stars from 1,881 reviews. Here is what several of the reviewers said:

"Fantastic meal from start to finish. Lovely server who made great recommendations. Food was all excellent. Great ambiance and reasonably priced."

"The small plates and charcuterie were wonderful. We always love trying a bunch of different things so having a variety of small plates and shareable was a treat! Our server was friendly and very helpful, the atmosphere was fun and relaxed, and the seating was cozy but didn’t feel cramped."

"Amazing food, excellent service, great vibe! Highly recommend the oxtail and the oyster mushrooms."
