My husband and I were genuinely excited for what we hoped would be an evening of delicious, homemade Italian food. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of our expectations.
According to the website, Enrico Biscotti offers both a First Friday Dinner and a separate family-style dinner experience. We specifically chose the First Friday Dinner because it was described as a plated, coursed meal—something we felt more comfortable with, as we weren’t interested in sharing food with strangers. To our surprise, the first two courses were served family-style and had to be shared with the rest of our table.
Each of the early courses was mediocre at best, and by the end of the third, we were genuinely confused as to how this dinner justified the $95 per person price tag. When the filet course finally arrived, we hoped it might redeem the evening and help explain the cost. Unfortunately, what we were served was a completely overcooked, well-done piece of meat- dry and tough.
As if that weren’t disappointing enough, towards the later part of the meal we began being dripped on. Looking up, we saw two baking sheets awkwardly positioned above us clearly failing to contain the leak. I don’t enjoy leaving such a negative review of a Pittsburgh restaurant, but for $200, I can confidently say there are many other places in the city far more worthy of the experience and cost.

Great selection x 10. A must stop in Pittsburgh for a single piece of biscotti or entire box.

Was in the store today. Had been years since I shopped there. In the past, all products were top notch. I bought white chocolate macadamia nut biscotti. They are stale, made with cheap ingredients (probably stale vanilla cake mix), were not the Italian texture they should be, and had NO MACADAMIA NUTS IN THEM. False advertising and cheating customers/me who agreed to pay a high price for a product with macadamia nuts in it. You have fallen so low in quality that I will never return. These biscotti are disgusting.

Found this little hidden gem during Yinzerpalooza weekend. Just needed drinks and a quick meal and got a margherita pizza. Loved the flavour, quiet location. Staff were lovely.

Tour guide from Pittsburgh Bus tour recommended. Very cozy and friendly bakery. The smell is so pleasant walking in. The chocolate /carmel biscotti was delish! Tried 2 other desserts which were also super delicious. Will definitely be a go to spot. Would make an excellent gift box. Not overpriced. Thank you.

Best biscotti ever! Nice generous size. Delicious.
AMAZING FOOD! To the left of the door to the biscotti storefront is an alley leading to the cafe, not to be missed. Our food came out the fastest I have ever seen in a restaurant and was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. The burrata and tomatoes was awesome! I had the pasta too, great vibes

This review is for the pizzeria section, at the end of the hallway on the side. I went with high expectations due to the place's reputation. I visited this place with my family, and it was the worst pizza we've ever had (all burnt, a shame), and the service was the worst; the location isn't even attractive. You can't believe the high prices after visiting. I don't recommend it at all.

Absolutely delicious. Go there, order, and experience happiness. The rustic Italian bread is perfect.
