PITTSBURGH, PA — A new restaurant is coming to the heart of the city's Cultural District.
The owners of Balvanera, a popular restaurant in the Strip District, are preparing to open Casa Anchoa in the former Nine on Nine space at the corner of 9th and Penn.
The restaurant will specialize in seafood.
The 3,651 square-foot Nine on Nine closed in early 2019. It's located in the Penn Avenue restaurant row that includes the Barcelona Wine Bar, Bakersfield, Sienna Mercato, Nicky’s Thai, The Eagle, Bridges & Bourbon, and Whisper.
The restaurant is situated at the entrance to Arts Landing, a four-acre outdoor destination located along Fort Duquesne Boulevard between 9th and 7th Avenues. Recently unveiled in time for the NFL Draft, the destination will host festivals and performances, exhibitions of public art, a family-friendly play area, pickleball courts, running track, and beautiful garden spaces.
“The opening of yet another first-class restaurant option in downtown Pittsburgh, specifically the Cultural District, only solidifies our stance about Pittsburgh," said Pittsburgh restaurateur and real estate executive broker Herky Pollock, who helped broker the deal to fill the vacant space.
