I had heard about Gullifty's even before I moved to Pittsburgh.  It has the reputation of a charming neighborhood spot with very good desserts.  Many claim their desserts are the best in Pittsburgh.  My recent visit there was not  memorable, not particularly bad but nothing to write home about (sorry ma.). I give them props for making their own desserts in house but despite the large selection, too many options seem like something you could get at Eat n Park or Applebee's in a slightly more commercialized  form.  Oreo, peanut butter, brownies on top- Don't get me wrong- this sounds decadent but it's date night, not my post-toke meal at Dairy Queen.  With that said, the desserts we had were pretty tasty.  Not best of Pittsburgh tasty, however.  I would have liked some more creative options.  The savory options were basically your usual diner entrees but the variety and flavor were both decent.  The service was average, friendly but untrained.  As for the decor, they need a facelift badly.  It looks like 1985 in there and not in a pleasingly retro sort of way.  There is a small but adequate selection of microbrews which is certainly a positive.  I think if I come back to Gullifty's any time soon, it would probably be for a late night slice of pie or coffee.  Otherwise,it's a pretty run of the mill establishment.
