A few offerings -- pizzas, panini and pasta at lunch, New York strip steak at dinner -- are permanent fixtures on the menu, but the real draw at this Shadyside spot is the selection of "market-fresh" daily specials, written in chalk above the bar. Here, you can enjoy seasonal offerings available from wholesalers in the Strip District, home of the original Enrico's restaurant (made famous by the film 'The Bread, My Sweet'). Wines from small Italian vintners round out the menu. As the name indicates, biscotti and other fresh-baked treats are a specialty here, too. On Sundays, these appear on a brunch menu alongside quiches and roasted vegetables. This 40-seat eatery is packed during lunch hour, and on pleasant days, many take advantage of the shady outdoor seating. Who wouldn't?

romantic and delicious.
sweetrlinZB - 05/20/2008
Authentic food with a gourmet touch. Fantastic Wine list! Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Perfect place for a night out when you want a good brick-oven kissed meal, nice wine, and not to hunt for parking. Bonus: If they have the bread pudding it's a delicious surprise. Tiramisu is one of the city's top two in our opinion.

LaurTomer - 05/19/2008Exceptional food and superior service is what to expect when dining at Enrico's!
Great Italian
Ray Allison Park - 05/18/2008We have dined at Enrico's many times and love the fresh pasta selections, fresh seaffod and my favorite is the rack of Lamb - all cooked in that wood oven. Excellent wine selection and an attentive staff. We always top off our meals with the Bread Pudding and cappucinno - not to be missed!

srsouiriyoupc - 03/17/2007I loved the movie - real emotions that you go through! See It!
hands-down, a great place
ltomer - 02/26/2007It's an all-around quality experience...great fresh food (no freezers!), an impressive wine collection, and good, friendly service. The decor is modern, but the place has an authentic feel of Italy with the family pictures, etc. The staff and owners make an effort to make your visit a pleasurable one.
So Fresh and So good
hermtomer - 02/23/2007Excellent selection of high quality, freshest items. Locally made fresh pasta, oven baked breads and desserts, and great coffees roasted in the 'burgh from La Prima. The wood fire works magic with the fresh seafood flown in from Alaska and Hawaii. Try the escolar baked Sicilian style -- WOW! Wine expert Eric provided an entertaining education on the specialty wines from small vineyards throughout Italy. Great fun. Really enjoyed the outside seating in the summer too. We'll be back.
over rated and over priced
shmelvin - 01/05/2007I have dined here at least 10 times and have found the food and service to fluctuate so badly that I won't go back. Plus I have never left the restaurant with less than a $100.00 bill.
Not Inexpensive
jerjab13 - 11/10/2006Inexpensive is inaccurate. The entrees range from 20-30 for dinner, and the appetizers range from 8-15. I dined at Enrico's and it is very good, and a nice atmosphere, but thought people should know that is moderately expensive.
Needed an Italian Food Fix
mirwin406 - 04/06/2006While visiting family in Pittsburgh, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to dine at Enrico's.
I have passed along MY review to all my friends that Enrico's Ristorante is a dining experience not to be missed when visiting one of our favorite cities.
