About me:
The Cefalo’s opened their doors in February 2004 with a vision: to open the premier Pittsburgh lounge and restaurant that makes guests feel as though they stepped back into the 1940s and enjoy great drinks, live entertainment and impeccable food and service.
Owners Leonard and Kathleen Cefalo, and Dean Cefalo purchased the former First Presbyterian Church of Carnegie and completely redesigned and renovated the 100 year-old stone structure. The acoustically friendly main room sets the perfect stage for live musical entertainment. The exclusive VIP loft oversees the stage and lounge so members are guaranteed the best seats in the house while enjoying their privacy. And the dining room is completely separate for an intimate dining experience.
Cefalo’s a place to meet singles, take a first date and even celebrate an anniversary in an atmosphere that reminds you of a Vegas-style lounge where members from the Rat Pack would have performed. Visit Cefalo’s anytime and you’ll be sure to find the Cefalo family working hard behind the scenes to ensure your drinks are full, your service is friendly and your experience is entirely first class.
Who I'd like to meet: Voted #1 BEST NEW BAR/CLUB IN PITTSBURGH
“Maybe it’s the lush, midnight-blue décor and sexy lighting. Or the cocktail waitresses dolled up in minis, colored ties and cocked fedoras. Could be the big-band bandstand or the glint of ice resting in a gimlet. Likely it’s all of the above, because Cefalo’s is the coolest retro-atmosphere this side of Sinatra’s bachelor pad. There’s no place like it in Pittsburgh, so slide into a booth and you’ll have the world on a string.”

“The Tuna was spectacular. Hands down delicious!”
- Karin Welzel, Food Writer Pittsburgh Tribune Review
“I seriously mean it when I say – it was the best lobster bisque I’ve ever eaten! The stock in this soup was so rich in flavor and with the sweet claw meat of the lobster, it was perfectly balanced. It’s a must have at Cefalo’s. You really, really, must have this bisque, you’ll thank me. Service is impeccable, atmosphere is amazing, food is inspiring and I’m in love with Leonard Cefalo for his heart, his new family business and providing inspiration to Carnegie.”
- Nightwire Magazine
“You were responsible for our successful fundraiser. Your generosity, good heart and humbleness will not go unnoticed and will never be forgotten.”
- CASA Board Members
“Everything was fantastic. I didn’t hear one complaint. Everyone raved about the food and the service. Every detail was in order and better than I ever expected. I am very glad we chose to have the wedding and reception there. “
-Laura M. Goetsh
“Everything, from the delicious food to the impeccable service of your wait staff, was perfect! Your attention to detail and genuine concern for the comfort of our guests freed Tommy and Laura to truly enjoy their special day.”
- Mary Ann & Steve Smith
“I just wanted to commend you on the wonderful evening my friend and I had dining at your restaurant tonight. Our waitress was attentive and the meals we had were just perfect. We had a great evening, thank you.”
-Ilene Iskoe
“One of my best friends and his wife decided on spending their anniversary there last Friday – and were totally overwhelmed – he said the best porterhouse he has ever eaten.”
- A. William Giannini
