| - Best biscotti in PGH, hands down!
Once upon a time, long, long ago, my former lab manager, who lives in Bloomfield, brought in some treats from this store. Specifically, he brought in a lb. of biscotti and a half dozen peanut butter cookies. Like the hungry wolves we are, my labmates and I devoured them post haste. The cookies were pliable, moist, and rich, and the biscotti was even better than Enrico's (gasp!). Quite impressed, I promised to check it out for myself sometime soon.
Fast forward a year or so to this past weekend, and I finally stopped by while in the vicinity to pick up dinner supplies nearby. I ordered a half pound of biscotti ($5), consisting of double chocolate, chocolate hazelnut, vanilla, and cherry. Unfortunately, at the time of my visit, they didn't have lemon, which I tried and loved previously. I also wanted to try the chocolate torte, but unfortunately, they were unable to remove it from the mold on demand. The biscotti was as delicious as I remembered, justifying the trip.
Service from the woman at the front (Maria, I believe) was super friendly and extremely apologetic about not being able to sell me the torte. I'll have to come back to try it--based on the biscotti and cookies, I have no doubt that it's delicious!
