"2"^^ . . "Thanks to Richard, Sylvia, Jake, and (as always) Rachel for making this my favorite Yelp event so far!\n\nI 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.\n\nI 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!\n\nAfter 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!"^^ . . . "5"^^ . "2013-06-02T00:00:00"^^ . "2"^^ . "0"^^ .
