  • Rare Opportunity to Check Out My Favorite Dining Establishment

    Succor Soiree
    Monday, March 10, 5:30-7:30pm at Enrico’s, 2022 Penn Ave., Strip District
    $15/person to benefit the Union Project
    I know this is last minute notice but I wanted to share this invitation with Pittsburgh. On Monday night there is a little event to benefit the Union Project (which is one of my favorite places/organizations in Pittsburgh) at the Enrico Biscotti Company in the strip district – which is probably my most favorite place to dine in Pittsburgh. Enrico’s Cafe is a tiny little hidden cafe behind the biscotti shop on Penn Ave that has an amazing atmosphere, delicious food, open kitchen.

    The cafe is usually only open for lunch, but on Monday they will be open for this special event. The event is only $15 and everything goes to support the Union Project. I will be there – I hope you will consider stopping by for a great event.

    Another fun fact about the Enrico Biscotti Company is that it was the setting for the film The Bread My Sweet – which starred Scott Baio and was filmed at the biscotti co in 2001. The film was released on video under the title A Wedding for Bella. You can read my blog post about the film here.

    If you can RSVP to hilary@unionproject.org if not please just show up!

  • PGHflicks – The Bread My Sweet

    One of the great things about holidays is that we usually get to catch up on some movies. I have been wanting to compile some reviews of Pittsburgh books and movies but there are some I haven’t seen in quite some time. I let my sister select the movie this evening and she suggested The Bread My Sweet. This is a delightful little movie that was filmed here in Pittsburgh in 2001. Scott Baio plays an executive/baker at the Enrico Biscotti company in the Strip district.
    The film is filled with great views of Pittsburgh and the bakery. It is a little cheesy but a nice story and you just can’t not like Scott Baio’s character.

    The movie was renamed “A Wedding for Bella” when it was released on video/DVD. The film is available on Netflix – add it to your list and let us know what you think.

    What other movies filmed in Pittsburgh are your favorites – I am working on putting together a list. Please share.
