Wow...what can I say? It's exciting to have two really great new restaurants in town! I had dinner at La Cucina Flagrea in Squirrel Hill twice now in the last week...I cannot say enough how incredibly delicious everything is! This ain't your typical local Italian! Everything is fresh, and made with tender loving care! The selections are out of this world, and every bite is yummy, right down to dessert (A tira misu that makes the BYOB policy irrelevant!). I only had a salad for lunch at Le Perroquet (a brand-spanking new French Bistro) in Shadyside (where Jaya used to be), but I was also very impressed. Both places are definitely higher priced than Pittsburgh 'moderate'...but the quality of both food and service make them both extremely worthy of special occasions! IMHO, I would have to put them up in the top five restaurants on my favorites list...

Le Perroquet & La Cucina Flagrea
The menu at Le Perroquet, since it is a Bistro, is not extensive. However there was at least something in the way of vegetarian fare for both entree and main courses.
