 Pasta Piatto in Shadyside's very good, and you won't leave hungry. My
 parents take me there when they're in town, so I'm not worried about the
 price (entrees ~$15). They do have early bird specials, though.

 But you might leave with permanent hearing damage.  Not a good place to go
 to have a conversation.  When I was there a couple years ago, my date and I
 couldn't hear each other, and before long we simply had to leave.  Another
 purported "nice place" bites the dust....

 They are a great deal -- for around 10 bucks you get soup, salad and
 entree, all of which are at least passable & often pretty good.  I
 almost never go during 'regular' hours.

 Wonderful, wonderful food and all the atmosphere of a can of sardines.
 Think "black tie truck stop."

 I beg to differ.  Pasta Piatto has (at best) OK food at prices that are way
 out of line.
