We at The Carlton like to pride ourselves upon service and support of the arts, sports teams, and most importantly, of the people of Pittsburgh. Our restaurant was the first to offer complimentary limousine service (we still do) to all cultural events at Heinz Hall,Benedum Center, Byham Theater and the O’Reilly Theater. So if you’re looking to catch dinner before a show and would like a classy entrance, let us provide that for you! Or if you’re looking to catch dinner before a big game, we’d be more than welcome to have you; our dress code is “whatever you are comfortable with is fine with us.” Stop down and let us do everything we can to WOW you.

It’s not too late to get in your reservations for our Best of Italy Wine Dinner tonight – October 1 – with Stan ‘the Wine Man’ Lalic!

Stan has pulled out all the stops for his first dinner in our new digs!

All of the wines for this evening are Tre Bicchieri Award Winning Wines – comparable to a 95+ rated Wine in the United States! Less than 1% of all Italian Wines rated ever receive this designation – so these are truly the best of “the best!” Friday evening dinners with Stan are a tradition that we hope will continue at The Carlton for many years to come!
