Review by Allan Ortiz

APTEKA is a gem that truly redefines vegan dining! 🌱 The ambience is cozy with a trendy greenhouse feel, perfect for solo dinners or groups. I indulged in the potato pancakes - crispy and flavorful! The pirogies, especially the sweet cabbage, were a delightful surprise.

Their cocktails are a must-try, and we loved exploring the unique offerings. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable, making recommendations that enhanced our experience.

Even non-vegans will find something to rave about here. Definitely worth a visit in Pittsburgh... you'll leave with a full belly and a happy heart! 🍽️✨
