Carmella's Day Off in Pittsburgh Is a Bubbly Prosecco Tasting Tour
The wrestler takes us to the city she loves and shows us where to get prosecco on tap and how to have a good time with family and friends.https://www.thrillist.com/news/nation/carmella-guide-pittsburgh-ride-with-me
WWE Wrestler Carmella moved to Pittsburgh for love. She and her husband wanted to put an end to a long-distance relationship, and so she moved from Fort Lauderdale to Pittsburgh, where her husband was staying with his three kids. She also stayed in Pittsburgh for love—this time, of the city itself. "I've been here for about two and a half years," Carmella said in a recent interview with Thrillist. "And, I have to say, I have fallen in love with the city." She is not a huge fan of Pittsburgh's winter, which she describes as "absolutely miserable," but she promises that every Pittsburgh resident will tell you the same. This time of the year, though, Pittsburgh is glowing. "It's just so amazing and beautiful," Carmella said. "I just love it."
In our series "Ride With Me," Carmella shows us what it's like to spend a day in her Pittsburgh when she's not on the ring. And one thing is for sure: everywhere she takes you, there will be prosecco flowing. Steaks cooked on hot stones, fancy bartender's choice cocktails, and arcades that will bring out your raw competitiveness are all on Carmella's Pittsburgh favorites list, and we're ready to check all the boxes. Grab your favorite wine glass and come with us—we're going to Pittsburgh.
Places to Eat & Drink
North Shore Tavern
At the North Shore Tavern, you're going to sear your own steak on a blazing-hot stone. "It's the best tasting steak I've ever had," said Carmella. "It's like a meal, but it's also an activity. It's fun." She usually likes her steak medium, and loves to do a little surf and turf for dinner and order some scallops too. Don't miss out on their pretzel sticks for appetizers: their mustard dip is delicious.

The Warren
If you're looking for a good cocktail paired with some tasty sushi, this is the spot for you. Carmella's go-to drink is definitely the prosecco, though. "That's my go-to drink anywhere," she said. "I'm just a Prosecco girl!" She recommends the Spicy Senorita from their sushi menu. It's yellowtail with jalapeno, cilantro, and sriracha drizzled on top. If you're not in the mood for sushi, go for the burger and the buffalo cauliflower. "They do it all," said Carmella. "They're so good."

My Italian friends have spoiled me well. 
Compared to summers in Florida, I think our winters are mild and manageable. We hardly ever get a big winter storm, maybe once in 10 years. But Florida gets hurricanes almost every year. The summers are so hot&humid in Florida that I couldn't even go outdoors most afternoons. However if our weather is her only complaint, then I guess she's going to fit in. I'll check out her blog.
