This has become one of the few places that absolutely is going to be a stop for me every time I'm in the Strip. They have other Italian pastries, such as meles which I love, but you are here for the biscotti. If you think you don't love biscotti because it's hard and requires dunking in coffee, you haven't had theirs yet. It is just soft enough to eat on its own, but also holds up if you are going to dunk. They have about every flavor imaginable but I keep going back to the salted caramel. The dark chocolate coating is decadent and it is just the right amount of salty. You can buy them individually to mix and match or they come in packages if you want a nicer presentation. They even have dog biscotti! It is peanut butter and bacon and my dogs, who have never loved anything peanut butter in their lives, are obsessed. This place is the real deal.
Enrico is a Pittsburgh staple that I somehow have missed over the past several years of living here. After stumbling inside while meandering through the strip the smell of chocolate and baked goods was unreal. Seriously I need Enrico's to bottle this smell and sell it. They are known for their biscotti, which was incredible. I've never had biscotti like theirs; it was soft but not crumbly, and didn't feel like you'd break your teeth off without sacrificing texture and flavor. The chocolate chip cookie I got was so flavorful and soft and delicious. My friends brownie was also excellent. I love this bakery and can't wait to come back!
Stumbled in while wandering The Strip one morning and saw the line. Figured huh- what's the buzz? Walking in, the scent of the bakery is soooooo welcoming. We got a variety of biscotti and cookies. All homemade and delicious! Only wish I had something to dip my biscotti in.
Lots of options and time to consider each one as the lobby might be small but the cases of yummy treats are definitely large and in charge of taking care of the snack / post coffee sweetness. Available prepackaged or in small bags, you can load up in authentic Italian pastries in a way that you choos
This cute little biscotti shop in the Strip is a great place to stop in and satisfy your sweet tooth. It smells amazing in here, everything is so fresh, and the employees are very friendly. I thought the prices were fair for the quality of the goods. The hardest decision you'll make is what to buy today and what to put on the back burner for your next visit.
Get one of everything!!! Stood in line and well worth it. Guest in front of us was a local and said he comes weekly for their bread. He also suggested the macaroons and any of the biscottis. Welp, he wasn't wrong!! There are plenty of intriguing options of biscotti, but there's more!! They have bread, cookies, macaroons, Buckeyes (get these), Italian cookies, and even doggie biscotti. You can tell these are all homemade. The flavors and freshness are awesome. The flavors of all we ordered - biscotti (you can get a 6 or 12 pack), peanut butter cookie, Buckeyes, Italian cookies- were beyond delicious. This is such an authentic little shop. Nothing fancy, but perfect. The line goes fast and the staff is super friendly.
I tried their biscotti last week and it was the BEST biscotti I have ever had. At first I wasn't sure but as I kept chewing I got so many different flavors of sweet and salty with a slight bitter dark chocolate flavor. They stayed fresh over the weekend and we continued to enjoy the chewy texture with our coffee in the morning while we were visiting family. I highly suggest making the trip to Penn avenue to grab a box for your next holiday or family get together.
This was once my favorite place. Took the classes and made it a stop every time we came to the strip. Today was the final time I will ever step foot into the place. Here is why. I don't carry cash anymore but this morning I took the 2 $50 bills I got for my birthday a week ago and upon seeing the little black cookbook for sale decided to buy one. I presented it at the register and the girl said $32 and some cents I don't remember. I handed her one of those 50s turned my back to see if that price was on that sign. Upon turning back around she handed me my change and I started to turn and realized that something wasn't right. In my hand was $8. I informed her that she gave me the wrong change and she says (opening the drawer) you gave me a twenty. I asked her to check under the drawer where they keep the big bills and she said that they don't do that and proceeded to show me that there were no 50 dollar bills in the drawer. They ripped me off for $10 bucks and even though that isn't much it goes to show how far this place has fallen.
My updated review is about a class we recently attended. Classes just are not what they used to be. I truly enjoyed taking these classes in the past and used to give them out as gifts .. might be time to look elsewhere :(. My sisters and I took the cookie class in December - the dinner was good (I do miss Larry's interactions and story telling -- guess we were spoiled but he made the event special and that is very much missing now). The young lady who taught the class.. just missed the mark in my opinion. Not at all engaging for a group of people spending a lot of money to take a course and many in the overall group were frustrated with the feeling she just did not want to be there (the playing on the phone and some comments made). Note- if you don't like something great! Keep it to yourself. Your teaching a class and what you are making is a staple at the bakery you represent...it's the best cookie ever made! Also .. we were supposed to get the recipes emailed .. a month later and still nothing. I get the holidays are busy but you should have those ready for the class.
Stopped in with my mom while exploring the strip since she's a big biscotti fan, and we're so glad we did! The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, and we ended up grabbing a bag of assorted end pieces so we could try a variety of flavors. Every single one of was delicious and I've been dipping them in my coffee every morning. Definitely a sweet little gem in the strip!
I took an Italian Easter pie class. We made a two pies one savory and one rice pie. Very interesting and fun class. We started out with an Italian meal for dinner that they make you and while you are eating they explain all about the Easter pies in Italy. After dinner the class begins they showed us how to make the crust and the fillings and then you do your pies all hands on. They cook them and boxed them up for us to take home. I have taken other classes that they offer an have been very happy with all the experiences I have had. They offer Bread making, Pizza, sauce, pie, cookie classes they also have dinners they offer called First Friday dinner and another one Big Italian Thowdown. They also have a Trip they do going to Italy each year all arranged with a tour guide, they don't always go to the same area in Italy each year may be a different area. I have to tell you about the store front they have on the Strip district they have the BEST most delicious biscotti I have ever had they also sell pies and cookies, focaccia's, panettone's, Easter bread (seasonal) Breads, Chocolate Babka everything is always delicious at Enrico's. Their service is excellent and staff so so friendly. I came to the class by myself and after class Trisha offer to walk me to my car (class was from 6pm-9pm) I said I would be fine but she took my phone number and text me to make sure I got to my car ok ( how nice) I highly recommended going to Enrico's for a class or shopping or for lunch you won't be disappointed!
The pecan pie is the best I've ever eaten! The crust is buttery and the filling is full of pecans with a most delicious dark molasses taste. The price is right, too!
A friend and I attended one of the bread making classes here recently and we loved every second of it -- the class begins with a brunch served family style: we had beans and greens, breakfast risotto with Italian sausage and poached eggs, pasta, bacon, pastries and salad. Coffee and wine are also served. We each made a loaf of rustic Italian bread in the brick oven, along with a focaccia with tons of topping options. Their famous biscotti and coffee were offered during one of our breaks. They tell the history of bread baking and offer tips to make your own at home. I would take another class and also recommend it to friends/
An artisan Italian bakery, which is well known for... you guessed it... biscotti! On our Strip District Food Tour, we were able to get a piece of any Biscotti flavor. We ordered the Chocolate Vanilla Swirl and Apricot. The emblem of Enrico is fairly well known in the Strip. The biscotti with wings! However for the typical tourist, the logo and outside of this building aren't much to look at. Honestly the inside is a little bit underwhelming too. The service was ample when we ordered, but the workers are barely able to be seen or even make eye contact with the high counters and containers of baked goods. The coolest thing about this place and probably what keeps them going is their product! Not just the abundance of flavors of the biscotti, but the ability to come up with creative ways to sell more and keep customers trying everything. From mystery bags of end pieces to discount biscotti crumbles - they found a way to sell the pieces and debris that would normally not be sold. I'm not a huge fan of biscotti - dried up cookies in my opinion - but I would love to come back and try some of the other baked goods some time. read more

OMG -- Enrico Biscotti Company is definitely the place to go for fresh biscotti. We picked up a bag of cranberry pistachio and it was excellent. We also grabbed a "puppy biscotti," and my beagle absolutely loved it. read more

So many choices of fresh delicious biscotti. I wish it wasn't 100° out, I would have tried so many more (and carried some chocolate dipped varieties back with me). read more
This biscotti spot has every flavor you can ever imagine! There are bags to go for those wanting to run in and grab something to go real quick, or for a souvenir! I grabbed both, a bag for someone back home and I picked out a couple biscotti from the case. I was so glad I did, I was able to try the salted caramel and it was amazing! I can't wait to dip it into my coffee in the morning! When in Pittsburgh, this is a great stop off for an amazing snack! read more

Awful biscotti. Got 3 bags of biscotti for about $25. Was expensive but it was for Christmas. Who doesn't love a nice biscotti with their coffee or tea at the end of a great meal? These were totally inedible. Orange almond nutmeg had no taste except for raw flour. Apricot hazelnut also flavorless except for raw flour. Pumpkin walnut had flavor but were so hard, even dunking in coffee left them like a rock. Will never spend a dime on their products in the future. read more

Fun place to go to and check out if you're in the area or looking to pick up a sweet treat for yourself or for a gift. They have jars of biscotti in many different flavors, in addition to other baked goods - cookies, scones, etc. Flavors range from your classic biscotti almond flavor to white chocolate macadamia (they say the ones with chocolate are the best) to lemon to cranberry pistachio. They're $2 each. They claim it stays well for a few months. I'm used to biscotti being hard and the texture felt softer. I'd say it's less of a dunker and more of an accompaniment with your coffee/tea. read more

I did a pizza making class here with Roy and we had the best time!! We ate a delicious meal beforehand then partnered up to make some pizza. Roy was funny and also a good teacher... I will add that it's definitely a little more PG-13! I had never made pizza like this before so it was a great learning experience for me. The only suggestion that I would make would be maybe do the pizza making first and then eat that with the rest of your meal afterwards. read more
I love this place! I have been going since I was little, and their biscotti are still one of my all time favorites. Perfect for dipping in coffee or espresso! They have so many different flavors, and they are baked fresh daily. I love the pumpkin walnut one and the ginger biscotti. My boyfriend likes the chocolate almond one that has white chocolate drizzled on top. The biscotti melts in your coffee and you still get a little crunch from the white chocolate. YUM! Besides the biscotti, they have the best almond and coconut macarons I have ever had. They are crunchy on the outside and so soft and chewy on the inside. The limoncello cookies are awesome and the little tea cookies with basil and lavender are great too. There is a basket of day old scones on the counter and they are only $1 each. It's a fun way to try new flavors. The maple one is the best in my opinion. I was recently introduced to chocolate babka bread. It is a huge loaf, and my friend and I asked them if they could cut it in half so we could share it. I have never tried this kind of bread anywhere else, but woah what have I been missing out on?! It is a loaf of Italian bread with chocolate layered through. It is sweet and savory and has a crunch on top. It is so different and delicious. I also heard that you can call ahead to have them set one aside for you since they sell out quickly. I'm not sure if that is true or not, but another customer told me that! It is very small inside and can get crowded on the weekend, but the line moves fast. Definitely a must stop place when visiting the Strip! read more
OMG! We've ordered these for home back in Philly after getting a few from a native "Pittsburgher." This was our first time getting the biscotti from the source. You walk in and it's heaven. The salted caramel alone was worth the trip from Philadelphia. So good! read more
Another amazing place on the Strip. I don't know how everyone around here doesn't weigh 400 pounds because every store and shop is amazing. We stopped in here this morning after breakfast and got a bagful if biscotti. Thankfully we were still stuffed from breakfast when we stopped in at Enrico's because everything in this place looked amazing. If my son comes to school here I KNOW I'll be back. read more

Having lunch in the Enrico Biscotti "alley" has been on our to-do list all year. We finally made it happen today! Though a little colder in late October than we envisioned, it was an absolute delight!! Attentive staff, the sound of Strip District commerce, and live music drifting in from Lefty's (across the street) all added to the charm. The pizza was amazing and the wine recommendation from our server was superb! Known for their baked goods, but top of their restaurant game. read more

I love it when I find a good bakery. When there's a variety, the baked goods are great, there's a nice variety of options and the staff is pleasant. This place is it. I literally got a bit of everything and had no complaints, totally worth stopping in! read more

We stumbled upon this place when we were visiting Pittsburg and have been dying to try the cafe ever since. The cafe lived up to our expectations based on the cute quaint decor and ambiance. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience and this is a true hidden gem Margarita pizza - 4/5 good sauce flavor and perfect chewy wood fired crust Verdura pizza - 5/5 while this one was a little messy to eat the flavor was great and unlike anything I've seen before Breakfast risotto- 5/5 I think this was a special of the day and not on their regular menu but this took us all by surprise. It was served with a fried egg on top that we mixed in and the fennel breakfast sausage flavored the whole risotto and tied it all together. I'd definitely recommend this. Meatball Sangaweech - 4/5 forgot the snag a picture of this but instead of bread it was served on folded over pizza crust. The sauce and meatballs were really good but this was hard to eat. Everything is cooked in the wood fired oven, and for focusing on their pizza and breads we were very disappointed in the bread that came on the side with the risotto. It was dense and lacked flavor, save the carbs/cals for the pizza! read more
