PITTSBURGH — 2025 brought several new restaurants to the Pittsburgh region from new names and established industry veterans.
The year kicked off with Pittsburgh getting a taste of the Michelin Guide. While the iconic guidebook has no plans to come to the region, former multiple-time Michelin recommended dumpling restaurant turned chain Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings opened a location in the SouthSide Works in February.
Spring saw multiple new additions to the city’s food and drink scene. In March, Bridges & Bourbon opened a sister named Whisper, a cocktail and desert bar in the Cultural District. In May, a group of Primanti Bros. alums opened Nick’s on Hilltop in Mount Oliver, a concept they described as “a high-end sports bar.” That same month, the acclaimed Rockaway Pizzeria opened in Regent Square after moving from White Oak.
