Enrico Biscotti Co.

Holy moly. All of these were delicious. This is pumpkin walnut biscotti, almond macaroon, an Italian nut bread and a hazelnut pie 😋 but it was the little cookie, the almond macaroon that stole the show. Wow! Crisp on the outside but soft in the center with the perfect sweet flavor, not to sweet, just right! Really loved all the selections. I seriously could have picked 5 more items. Very authentic 👌

Spent the evening making pies at The Enrico Biscotti Company with a lovely group of people. The experience was incredible dinner was phenomenal, the class was well-structured and informative, and we left with beautiful pies to bring home. The staff was fantastic. I highly recommend The Enrico Biscotti Company to everyone!

I have never had biscotti until I visited Enrico Biscotti today. It was delicious! This is a very small bakery but it is very cozy inside and they also have other baked goods, as well as dog treats! I am interested in signing up for the bread baking lesson they offer as well. It smells really good inside and there is a variety of biscotti flavors. No indoor seating as it is very small inside but most stores in the strip are. I will definitely come back next time I make a pilgrimage to the strip!

The meats and cheese are the freshest around. The fresh provolone was the best i have ever tasted. The service was not great, the counter helper actually threw (not tossed) my package of sliced meat at me. This guy was just down right rude. Better help would make the experience a 10

If you sell one thing you’ve gotta do it right and trust they do it right. Grab a cup of coffee from down the street and a biscotti and you are good to explore the strip. So many fun flavors to pick from and a couple seasonal options too!

My husband and I were genuinely excited for what we hoped would be an evening of delicious, homemade Italian food. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of our expectations. According to the website, Enrico Biscotti offers both a First Friday Dinner and a separate family-style dinner experience. We specifically chose the First Friday Dinner because it was described as a plated, coursed meal—something we felt more comfortable with, as we weren’t interested in sharing food with strangers. To our surprise, the first two courses were served family-style and had to be shared with the rest of our table. Each of the early courses was mediocre at best, and by the end of the third, we were genuinely confused as to how this dinner justified the $95 per person price tag. When the filet course finally arrived, we hoped it might redeem the evening and help explain the cost. Unfortunately, what we were served was a completely overcooked, well-done piece of meat- dry and tough. As if that weren’t disappointing enough, towards the later part of the meal we began being dripped on. Looking up, we saw two baking sheets awkwardly positioned above us clearly failing to contain the leak. I don’t enjoy leaving such a negative review of a Pittsburgh restaurant, but for $200, I can confidently say there are many other places in the city far more worthy of the experience and cost.

They even had Gluten Free Cookies that were DELISH!!! Great place to visit!!!

First the smell, it is like being smacked in the face with a baseball bat made from a warm freshly baked sugar cookie. In the winter it is even more delightful. This place reminds me that not so deep down inside I am still a cookie gobbling fat kid. I could attempt to try to list all the cookies I have tried and why I love them, but I'm sure there is a character limit. So the highlights: Espresso Cookies - I both love and fear these. It is so hard to stop, how do you stop? Chocolate covered coconut macaroons - These are large and delightful. So satisfying and chewy. Chocolate Oblivion (Cake) / Mini Chocolate Oblivion (Cupcake) - A "Flourless chocolate cake", that doesn't do it justice. More like "The creamiest chocolatiest fudge you've ever put in your face". Dense Almond Cake - basicly a giant Madeleine cookie, and AWESOME.

My family loves Enrico Biscotti! When we make our trips to the Strip District, Enrico is always on our list. My mom's favorite is always the apricot biscotti, but they have a ton of options if fruity treats aren't your jam! They also have a decent selection of other baked goods outside of their signature biscotti. One thing a lot of folks like about Enrico is their dog biscotti, obviously safe as a treat for your fur friends. Everyone walks away with a treat here, and the staff is super sweet, too.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Very disappointed in the biscotti. Tried many types dry and not flavorful I guess Pittsburgh doesn't have a lot of bakeries in the strip. Very over rated

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/

Don't be fooled. Enrico's is more than about biscotti. Pros: Sure, their biscotti is the best in Pittsburgh. But it's their croissants that bring me to Enrico's. They're flaky, and straight, not curved, the sure sign that they were made with butter, not margarine (sacrilege!). Their bread is also the best in the Strip. The staff is always helpful and friendly, and there is a restaurant in the back which has never let me down. They even have pizza making classes. Cons: it's in the Strip District, so parking is always at a premium. Some times their breads and croissants are not ready when it opens, so try to get there by maybe 8:30am to get your bread piping hot! Summary: any trip to the Strip MUST include a stop at Enrico's. Pro tip: dogs love their puppy biscotti!

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).

I had a lemon biscotti from here ($2) which was nice and soft! I think it could've had a slightly stronger lemon flavor or maybe a drizzle of something on it.

While I was never a fan of the biscotti the hard crusted Italian bread was the bomb. We took the bread baking class a few years ago from Larry and learned a lot. Sadly, since Larry's passing the only bread they seem to make anymore is the boule' which is what Larry said to do with your bread dough if you messed it up by adding too much water. We buy our Italian bread somewhere else now but it never seems to match up to the bread Larry made. Other bakery items are pretty much what they were, hit or miss.

My husband and I were genuinely excited for what we hoped would be an evening of delicious, homemade Italian food. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of our expectations. According to the website, Enrico Biscotti offers both a First Friday Dinner and a separate family-style dinner experience. We specifically chose the First Friday Dinner because it was described as a plated, coursed meal--something we felt more comfortable with, as we weren't interested in sharing food with strangers. To our surprise, the first two courses were served family-style and had to be shared with the rest of our table. Each of the early courses was mediocre at best, and by the end of the third, we were genuinely confused as to how this dinner justified the $95 per person price tag. When the filet course finally arrived, we hoped it might redeem the evening and help explain the cost. Unfortunately, what we were served was a completely overcooked, well-done piece of meat--dry, tough, and more reminiscent of shoe leather than filet mignon. As if that weren't disappointing enough, towards the later part of the meal we began being dripped on. Looking up, we saw two baking sheets awkwardly positioned above us--clearly failing to contain the leak. I don't enjoy leaving such a negative review of a Pittsburgh restaurant, but for $200, I can confidently say there are many other places in the city far more worthy of the experience and cost.

Great place for biscotti. They have a variety of flavors and they are big enough to share

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.

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!

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.

I love it here!! Eating in the restaurant is a must. It is quite small inside but it feels homey. Went for lunch and had the quattro formaggi pizza it was delicious.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

Enricos is the best! Their baked goods are out of this world! I always stock up on biscotti when I'm down that way.

This is my favorite place in Pittsburgh to get biscotti! Whenever I have friends or family from out of town visiting I bring them here and they love the biscotti. They have so many flavors and also have doggy biscotti. This place is worth going to and is somehow still a hidden gem that most people don't know about even though it's been in the Strip for ages.

What to begin about this place? Well....their amazing scrumptious, soft, huge BISCOTTI! Oh I miss this place at the Strip District. If you are in the area, follow the smell into their little bakery and do yourself a favor and buy a few biscotti. You will not be disappointed. I have ate at their restaurant too and the food is decent. But the star of the show is definitely their biscotti. A friend of mine once sent their biscotti ordered through their website for Christmas. It tasted so good and fresh, dipped in coffee or tea and you got yourself the perfect breakfast. Try the ones drizzled with chocolate too!

The woman who handled my pastry, did not wear gloves. A problem even without a global pandemic going on. I intended to order more, but the barehand grabbing the pasty really made me apprehensive to buy anything here.

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!

Cute shop, I'd like to think of it as a bit of a hidden gem. They have such a huge variety of biscotti - overall, I think they're pretty good. I've currently tried 4 - 1) a kind of "regular" biscotti dipped in chocolate (4.5/5), 2) a chocolate biscotti (4/5), 3) a pink one, perhaps cherry, 3.5/5, and a 4) hazelnut 3.5/5. The latter two didn't have much flavor and tasted of a very bland batter. We also purchased a huge loaf of chocolate babka, which was very good! I think there was a bit too much chocolate layered in as it was a bit too sweet - my friend thought it was the right amount. I liked how the outside is sprinkled with sugar to give the outer texture a nice, sweet crunch. Their loaves look pretty good too, will have to try next time!

A friend brought me some vanilla dark chocolate biscotti and chocolate caramel salted biscotti after a trip to Pittsburgh. It was delicious and beautiful. I wish I would've taken a picture before we nearly ate all of it. On any trip to Pittsburgh I could see myself stopping by to grab a few bags of biscotti. Well done!

Every time my family and I go to Pittsburgh, we must stop in and get some Biscotti. All of the flavors they have are amazing but I highly recommend the salted caramel Biscotti! Such a lovely place with such friendly staff! You must stop by if you're ever in the strip district!

The cafe is a little gem tucked away in the Strip District. I've walked by this cafe so many times and never realized it was there until now. Let's talk about the food: it's amazing! We had the greens and beans and the pepperoni pizza. The greens and beans was very hearty and flavorful. The pizza was very fresh and you could see it cooked right there in the oven. The house wines are also amazing. Definitely give this place a try next time you're in the Strip District!

Love stopping at Enrico Biscotti every time I'm at the Strip. Delicious biscotti in countless flavors! I've also had their bread which has always been fresh and delicious. There are other delicious looking baked treats but I've not tried them yet. The staff are always helpful and friendly. They offer a couple classes as well including a bread making and pizza making class. The pizza making class was fun and interesting. It included dinner, pizza making in the wood fire oven and wine! I highly recommend stopping in!

What an awesome place! Tucked into a narrow alley way on Liberty Ave in the Strip you will find Enrico Biscotti. With all its charm and delicious food, I'd say it's a must-stop place for visitors and Pittsburgh-ers alike! My husband and I took some relatives here on a Saturday AM around 1045. The place it's self is small, kind of cramped actually, but is so darn cute! If it were only the 2 of us, I'd consider giving it 5 stars, but when you're that cramped, it makes things a little hard to work with. The food though! 5 stars! I ordered the breakfast pasta carbonara and my husband ordered the biscuits and sausage gravy. My pasta cooked well, the sauce was creamy and rich, and the bacon was thick enough to know it was there but cooked well. The biscuits and gravy are the best I've ever tried. Now, let's not all go crazy about the biscuits and gravy from the south, or your grandmothers or whoever, I'm fairly new to the biscuit/gravy game. The biscuit was fluffy and buttery and the gravy definitely hit you with sausage up front but creamy on the back. When you add the two over easy eggs on top.. voila! Delicious. I've made it back for the pizza! We ordered the daily pizza which was mushroom and bacon. The crust was chewy, the cheese was creams, the bacon was thick and crunchy, and the mushrooms were precooked - maybe a little too watery for my liking, but I would order again. We also ordered the fat salad - nothing special but was the perfect side dish to the pizza. Just standard green leaf lettuce, a balsamic house dressing, walnuts, and cranberries. The pizza and salad was prefect for 2 people to share and still have some room for any other street snacks you might find in the strip. I will be back to try some more pizza!!

Yes, may I have another please :) The smells are to die for. The selection is perfect and the biscotti is semi-hard. Travels well, so we brought an assortment to our friends throughout the Midwest. I really liked the White Chocolate w/ macadamia nuts. All the favors are great so feel free to try them all. Located in a central location on The Strip makes Enrico's a must when in the Pittsburgh area. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Buongiorno!

I'm not sure where I read that Enrico Biscotti was the place to get to in the Strip District but wow, were they right. These are some magic dang biscottis. Crisp, flavorful and very, very tasty. Well made, they hold up well despite a brief dip in the coffee cup and then a munch. Perhaps a little crumbly but that's what a biscotti is supposed to do. I got an assortment. Walnuts, chocolate, almonds, all sorts of great stuff. I don't have a favorite - they were all excellent!

I don't think you can walk by Enrico's without being drawn into the store purely by the aroma wafting out the front doors. They have such an amazing variety of freshly made crunchy biscotti. Each flavor compliments any morning cup of coffee or tea (for those who like to dunk them like me). They even have a variety for your fur-babies! The goodness doesn't stop there though.... enjoy a coconut macaroon or other yummy cookie from the other case. Or grab a loaf of their homemade bread to take home and share at your next family meal. Looking for lunch?? Check out these Cafe around back!! Oh and did I mention they ship biscotti right to your door!!!

Small and inviting place that you may overlook while traversing around the Strip District. My suggestion would be that you don't and make a visit for a quick goodie to satisfy any sweetness cravings. Everything looked fresh and our items definitely were. They have a small cafe around the back from the front entrance.

The biscotti is great - I got a salted caramel biscotti as recommended by the cashier and it was very tasty, even for someone like myself who isn't the biggest fan of biscotti. I got a box of broken biscotti which was nice because it has a good variety of flavors in bite size pieces and their being broken made them half the price of regular ones. My only slight complaint is that I thought they'd have coffee or some drinks here but they didn't (not that they have seating to enjoy your biscotti with a drink because they don't, but I just assumed they'd have some drinks). I'd come here again.

This place is located in the Strip District and has delicious biscottis (and other baked goods)! The place isn't big; it doesn't have seating, and is packed with baked goodies. There are a huge variety of biscottis in cool flavors like Apricot hazelnut, Chocolate orange almond, Black forest, Oatmeal raisin pecan... SO many to choose from! Husband and I got two small 8 oz. bags which were $8/bag (if I remember correctly!) in Ginger almond and Vanilla dark chocolate flavors. I was worried that the biscottis would be too hard, but they were actually really soft and delicious. Other baked goods that they had were cookies, cakes, pies, etc. There was a cookie called "Person cookie" which was half vanilla, half chocolate, which was really cute. I would definitely recommend visitors to swing by here - biscottis make great souvenirs (even thought they may not last as long!).

This review is limited to the bakery only since I did not dine in their cafe. I was so thrilled to have found this place after sampling one of their biscottis at Yelp's recent airport event. They were surprised to learn that a business out there sold their baked goods but delighted that it brought me in. While biscottis may be their mainstay they sell other pastries, pies, cakes, cookies, gluten free items, and even Italian bread round loaves. Everything is made in house. Some biscottis come prebagged for travel but they are smaller and you don't get to choose. You can also get bags of broken pieces for an assortment. Full ones sell for $2.00 each but you can get 6 for $10.00. I was told not to refrigerate them. I didn't need to wrap them tightly when I got home. All I had to do was keep them in the bag and it would last for a long time. I chose 4 different flavors to make up my 6 including cherry, lemon, macadamia nut white chocolate, and a pecan filled one. As I was finishing my order I heard the baker in the back say the macaroons had just been taken out of the oven so I immediately purchased the apricot one for $1.50. Literally it was so soft, warm, and had that fresh taste about it. Some of the items they sell require refrigeration so I would recommend either stopping here last when visiting the Strip district or bringing a cooler. When I got home I broke into part of the cherry one. It was fresh, crunchy and broke off easily. I will be anxious to see how the others hold up as I consume them over the course of the week. Conveniently located on Penn Ave near 20th St you are in the heart of the business district. Only problem has and always will be parking. Metered street parking is your best bet if you want to save some money.

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.

Tucked away in the Strip District are some of the most underrated baked goods in the city. Biscottis are terrific with lots of flavors! I'm obsessed with the "ravioli" pastries here, I've had the nutella one and the raspberry. Staff are friendly. I love the outdoor, alley-way, cafe seating too!

This is my favorite spot for sandwiches, soups or salad. The beans and greens are amazing, as are the salads and breads. The ambiance is relaxed and casual, and the food is always excellent. Enrico's is great for conversation or for resting your feet while shopping at the Strip. They have a First Friday Dinner which is BYOB with no corkage fee. On Saturday's you can buy a bottle of Carlo's Garage Winery, they make the wine downstairs.

Another gem in the Strip District, Enrico Biscotti is well worth the visit! Known for its divine biscotti as the name suggests, the store smells absolutely heavenly as soon as you walk in. My family and I have been going here for as long as we've lived in city, and today we picked an assortment of their creative and delicious flavors for my mom's birthday breakfast. The biscotti are fresh, perfectly baked and ideal to eat with coffee. We'll soon be back!

A little slice of biscotti heaven. With only 30 minutes to spare in the Strip District, we set out to find some sweets for the evening's dinner. Enrico nearly fell in our lap as we trotted up the block. It was either the smell of butter pouring out the front door or the cozy "what's going in on there?" street appeal that lured us in. Between the two of us we purchased everything from pumpking and fig and walnut biscotti to cannolis, lemon basil shortbread cookies, cream puffs and chocolate espresso tea cookies. Needless to say, this is the perfect place to visit if you find yourself en route to a tea-loving Italian family's house for dinner. Almost every dessert we purchased was crafted for dunking. This place is pretty cozy. Rumor has it they have a mini cafe with seating in the back (behind the kitchen).
