We welcome you to La Casa, Pittsburgh's amazing new tapas and wine bar. Tapas are Spain's greatest food invention, "Eat when you drink, drink when you eat" is the philosophy. Spanish men traditionally drink outside the home and rarely alone.Tapas are not meant to be a meal. One tapa per person and a different one with each drink is the idea, then everyone enjoys tasting and sharing.

The 5884 House vision of Omar Mediouni, La Casa takes on the tradition of excellence for food and entertainment that all of Mediouni's ventures have. Tapas food is real food - good local ingredients presented with flair. The idea comes from Andalusia. It started, so they say with a piece of bread, soon topped with hamor cheese, and balanced over a glass, to keep out anything from getting into the drink. The word tapa means to cover. Tapas were once free snacks included in a price of the drink.
