Nadine’s Restaurant in the South Side neighborhood of Pittsburgh has been a neighborhood bar and diner since 1977, serving the kind of honest American comfort food that earns 45-year reputations. It appeared in Season 4, Episode 10 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Cookin’ It Old School,” which aired October 6, 2008, as a Pittsburgh neighborhood institution with a scratch-made kitchen operating at a level well above its no-frills setting. Nadine’s is known for homemade soups, half-pound burgers, oven-baked hoagies, calzones, and a veal Parmesan sandwich that Guy Fieri called “ridiculous.” It has also appeared on later DDD episodes, which speaks to how consistently the kitchen delivers.

What to Eat at Nadine’s Restaurant
The Veal Parmesan Sandwich is what Guy called “ridiculous,” which in Triple D vocabulary means exceptional. The Homemade Soup, rotating daily, is the item regulars arrive for first on cold Pittsburgh days. The Half-Pound Burgers, Oven-Baked Hoagies, and Calzones round out a menu built around scratch preparation and generous portions.
