| - Oh. My. Goodness.
I am a lover of brunch and Enrico's just secured a place in my heart. Their new Highland Park location is exactly what Pittsburgh needed, and best of all, it is in walking distance to my house (and a lot of others).
First of all, the menu consists of ~10 plates and 6 sides. Most of the plates are different combinations of fresh greens, eggs, polenta, pasta, sausage, bacon, focaccia and cheese! I had a frisee salad with fried egg, bacon and foc and it was perfect. The greens were a wonderful highlight to a snowy pittsburgh day. My partner had a similar plate but without the bacon and add roasted tomatoes. Hers was also good but we would have prefered the tomato warm (& in season, but what can you do). The coffee was perfect and organic/fair trade from a co-op in Nicaragua.
The decor was simple, and made good use of the space and re-found chairs, tables and benches. There was great light from the front and I can't wait to eat out on the porch.
They have a great kids menu and a small menu of "OMG I'm hungry!" items, that consists of some perfect Sugar/Ginger donuts that we took to go.
Hoping this stays a Highland Park secret and the Shadysiders will stay to their side of the busway!
