| - Thanks to Richard, Sylvia, Jake, and (as always) Rachel for making this my favorite Yelp event so far!
I had been to Bloomfield several times previously for dinner and for Little Italy Days, but this Yelp Event really helped me to learn a lot more about this borough! Our 'Burgh Bits and Bites owner and tour guide Sylvia took us to four different stops - Groceria Italiana, Maria Merante's, Donatelli's, and Angelo's Pizzeria - with a couple brief architectural stops along the way. The tour was a nice length of time, and I was definitely full by the end! I really enjoyed our Italian food -- pasta and meatballs, pizza, espresso, pizzelle, and biscotti.
I also really enjoyed our second portion of the event with PA Brew Tours. Church Brew Works served up a large amount of beer for our tasting. Though Jake (the owner of PA Brew Tours) was a victim of some unfortunate events, he made the best of the situations, and I learned a lot from him about not only Church Brew Works but also about the history of breweries in the Pittsburgh area. I had a great time!
After the event was over, my husband and I picked up ravioli, sauce, and biscotti from Donatelli's and fresh bread from Groceria Italiana. I loved all of the local businesses that I was introduced to today and definitely plan on shopping with them again in the near future! I also plan on looking into both tours in the future when friends are in town!
