I'm staying at the Fairmont downtown. Any recommendations? I'm hungry for Italian.

Grew up in Pittsburgh, and used to go to Tambellini's for Italian. I'd also check out Alla Famiglia, Piccolo Forno, Girasole, and La Tavola. All should have websites, so check them out and then pick the one that suits you best.

Outside of that, I highly recommend Fathead's on the Southside, one of my favorite places on Earth.

The strip district has some great places, such as DeLuca's and Jojo's for breakfast, the original Primanti Bros., and the Pennsylvania Macaroni Co., which is the closest you can get to Italy without actually going.

I also recommend you take a trip to the top of Mount Washington and eat a Devonshire sandwich at Lemont. The Devonshire is a famous Pittsburgh sandwich.

For pizza, try Fiori's or my personal favorite, Beto's.

If you get a urge for a sandwich go to Fat Heads, great food and beer selection, I find it better then Primanti Bros

I agree, although Primanti's is worth trying.

I hit up Primanti Bros. I was a little disappointed. I ordered the Black Angus Steak and Cheese. I guess I'm spoiled by R&O's and Olde Tyme Grocery in Lafayette, but that was one of the worst sammitches I've ever paid for.

I'm planning on hitting up one of the Italian joints for lunch today, though.
