Traditionally, the Feast of the Seven Fishes is served on Christmas Eve. But, many Pittsburgh restaurants have adopted their own traditions, and are offering the Italian feast on various days leading up to Christmas.
If you want to forgo making your own feast this holiday, make your reservations quickly – these dinners tend to sell out.
