Pittsburgh Restaurant Named Among Most Romantic In U.S.

PITTSBURGH, PA - Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and if you’re still looking for a restaurant to take your loved one to on Feb. 14, a new list from OpenTable can help. The company released its list of 100 of the most romantic restaurants in the country Tuesday and a well-known Pittsburgh dining spot was included.

Altius on Grandview Avenue on Mt. Washington was one of just three eateries in Pennsylvania to make the list. The other two were Bolete Restaurant in Bethlehem and the Victor Cafe in Philadelphia.

Here’s what OpenTable had to say about Altius: “Your first visit may be for the view, but you will return again and again to enjoy one of Pittsburgh's best premiere fine dining experiences. With modern surroundings, higher hospitality and an organic and sustainable wine menu, every part of your experience has been thought of and designed with care."

Altius is the second restaurant from B DeFrancis and Jessica Bauer. Their first, Bistro 19, has been a Mt. Lebanon staple since 2006.

The list was compiled using more than 12 million verified reviews submitted by OpenTable diners for over 26,000 restaurants across the country. According to OpenTable, American flavors dominate at these restaurants but Italian and French cuisines are also popular.
