Mallorca is just simply one of Pittsburgh's best restaurants. The service is top notch, the portions are huge, and the atmosphere is very traditional. Have fun trying to take all of of the specials that the waiter will fire out in authentic Spanish acccent... you usually have to ask for him to repeat it again. For apps, start off with the chorizo, fried calamari, or garlic shrimp; they're simply incredible. Among my favorite entrees are the Prime Rib (special), Quail in curry sauce (special), veal in cream mozzarella sauce, and the Paella. Their sangria is excellent as well: according to my girlfriend (who is Portuguese and has been to all of the great Newark, NJ Spanish/Portuguese restaurants) it is the best sangria she has ever had. Oh, and if you go often enough, get to befriend Antonio; you won't regret it!
Pros: large portions, excellent wait staff, great ambiance
