The restaurant is a converted house, originally the owner's grandmother's house. It is wonderfully decorated, like a cross between the original house decorations and a cozy inn. The food is outstanding, the wine and beer lists are extensive and reasonably priced. If you order the house special (veal shank in a cinnamon apple sauce) they ring bells as they bring it out! I have taken relatives and friends to the Kleiner Deutchmann, and they were all very impressed. Plan on making a reservation, since it is a small restaurant and quite popular. Roger Preisendefer

One of my favorite restaurants is the Willow Inn, which is way down in Oak Forest - near Waynesburg. About an hour from Downtown down to exit 3 or 4 on I-79. Ralph Wilson, the chef, is self taught and quite eclectic. The food is fixed menu, served family style (each table gets a platter/bowl or each dish, so if you like it you can have more). The Willow Inn itself is a restored 18th century inn. Reservations *required*. Great for groups. And, Ralph keeps a database of customers, so when you come again (you'll want to) he'll try and make sure you don't get the same dishes... Phone: 627-9151 Enjoy! Rob ps: if you call Ralph, tell him you saw Rob's post - I'm trying to get him to get an internet connection to take reservations via email!
I went to Cafe Allegro on the Southside for a special occasion. it was quite fancy and was a real slice of LA dining. But stay away from the hot pepper appetizer, its really hot.
