Our group of seven was in town from Colorado to see the Steeler game. Wandering down Penn Ave on the way back to our hotel, we were looking for something to eat. Not many places were open when we came across Emporio. I was somewhat skeptical of a meatball restaurant, but we went in anyway. Loved the open air concept, the cleanliness and the service. I had the City of Champyinz (great self deprecating humor) and loved it. Meatballs, spaghetti with chicken chile and scallions (nice touch for a little crunch). Never thought about spaghetti with chile, but I do now. So much so that I think I'm going to have to cook up some chile for my spaghetti!
Too bad I'm a long way from Pittsburgh and can't easily swing by for some meatballs until our next Steeler game.
