Mio Kitchen & Wine Bar Description:
Mio Kitchen & Wine Bar is the creation of local chef Matthew Porco. Built from his experience and inspired by his tenure as Chef de Cuisine at famed Veritas in New York City, Mio is an upscale restaurant with a temperature controlled wine cellar and a seasonally changing New American menu. From the chef's tasting menu to our innovative and delectable desserts, we offer a carefully cultivated array of tastes and sensations that promise a memorable dining experience.
Thanks to chef-owner Matt Porco, the bar has been raised on casual fine dining in Pittsburgh. After working for several years as sous chef at Veritas in Manhattan, the Aspinwall-born Porco returned to family and home to open his own restaurant. He designed the small, smart eatery, incorporating wrought iron accents, warm neutral colors, comfortable seating and a prominent temperature-controlled wine room---a mission statement of sorts, since Porco's philosophy is to balance food and wine. The upscale menu of contemporary American dishes changes seasonally. A roster of nightly specials produces such items as braised beef short ribs with celery root purée, glazed baby carrots, tomato and fried leeks; or house-made sausage ravioli, with wild mushrooms, melted leeks and sweet peas in truffle cream. For the ideal experience, request a chef's tasting menu paired knowledgeably to wines. Desserts are also special. Try apple raisin crisps with maple syrup ice cream.
