I was really excited to go to Lidia's while in Pittsburgh for work.  Had some drinks at the bar and they have an extensive Italian wine list.   \n\nOur service was a little delayed but once our waiter was available he was knowledgeable and continued to check on us. He was a little awkward but attentive.  \n\nThe mussels were a little \"fishy\" to my taste but the remaining dishes we ordered were great and so were the bread bowl options.  I enjoyed a gnocchi special.  The pasta trio is typically the recommended choice but I wasn't in the mood for what was prepared that day.\n\nOverall I would give it a B.
