Lawrenceville, Pittsburgh Restaurants Near Downtown, Oakland, Bloomfield, and Strip District

Ready to refuel? The kitchen’s open in Lawrenceville.

Lawrenceville restaurants serve up the flavors you savor, from homestyle breakfasts through late-night bites.

The menus at our independently owned restaurants succeed at drawing from our past and pushing the envelope. Multi-generational Lawrenceville mainstays attract loyal customers for “world-famous” fish sandwiches and old-world Italian favorites. Newer ventures expand into vegetarian, New American, and global traditions.

Our dining offerings are diverse, but the vibe is consistent: never stuffy, always sociable--whether you need a spot for ladies-who-lunch, a kid-friendly place for casual dinner, or a cozy table-for-two.

Lawrenceville is also home to four coffee shops that deliver an early-morning lift. And when you’re in need of a nightcap or live music, drop into one of Lawrenceville’s hip bars or traditional taverns.
