Roving Pittsburgher Report
Fox Chapel Eat n Park
From Roving Pittsburgher, Angel Thomas
All of the ingredients were fresh tasting in this newly opened Eat n Park in the Wateworks, Fox Chapel. The Marinara sauce tasted homemade and the staff was congenial and attentive. When we asked about salt content of gravy the manager came to us with a nutrition guide to find the answer.

Delightful Dormont Institution whose name comes from being at the Dormont Trolly Stop. Moved from years ago to the opposite side of the street with same wonderful homestyle breakfasts, ham off the bone and homemade potato pancakes where you can see and taste the grated potatoes. On the weekends you have to wait in line but it’s worth the wait and we compliment the waitresses on being kid friendly as Anaiyah will be three in March.
