Mary's Vine

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Serious Wine Destination Just Outside Pittsburgh

Mary's Vine sits at 211 Kenmawr Ave. in Rankin, a short drive from Pittsburgh proper, and it has quietly built a reputation that extends well beyond the neighborhood. In 2024, Wine Spectator granted the restaurant its Best of Award of Excellence — a distinction reserved for wine lists that go meaningfully beyond the basics, offering depth across regions, vintages, and styles. Earning that recognition places Mary's Vine in select company and signals that the beverage program here is as carefully considered as anything on the plate.

Seasonal American Cooking at the Core

The kitchen works within a seasonal American framework, which means the menu moves with what is genuinely good rather than what is convenient. That approach keeps the cooking grounded and specific — the kind of food that makes sense alongside a thoughtfully chosen bottle of wine. Lunch and dinner service both give guests a chance to experience how the two sides of the operation — kitchen and cellar — reinforce each other.

Worth the Drive

For Pittsburgh diners willing to cross into Rankin, Mary's Vine offers something that larger, more prominent venues don't always deliver: a focused identity. The Wine Spectator award is a reliable signal for anyone who takes wine seriously, and the seasonal American menu gives that wine list a kitchen worthy of it.
