    We arrived at 9am on a Saturday which is when they allegedly open according to their website…read more(Google says 8am) and there were already tons of people seated and even a table that diners had finished eating at so there is definitely something inaccurate with their published hours. Thankfully we didn't have to wait for a table for 3 (the folks in front of us in line most have had a bigger table and were given a wait time). I really enjoyed the vibe here as well as the food. I tried the waffle Benedict and thought it was great. Definitely worth a visit for breakfast but their weekend hours should be updated if they open they open before 9am...

    This joint has been on my list of places to try for a while now. Was it worth the 53 minute wait on…read morea Saturday morning? Yes, yes it was. There was a friendly gal at the door taking names and numbers. I could hardly believe the wait time but decided to put down my name and do a little window shopping during the wait. We were eventually called and texted to let us know our table was ready. Our table was in the very back corner, next to a group of girls loudly talking about their drunken escapades the night before. It was entertaining to say the least. Our server was super friendly and accommodating to dietary restrictions/modifications. I ordered a Turkish Benedict on gluten free toast.... So. Good. Amazing flavors. My daughter got the croissant avocado toast which she loved. I also got a pistachio latte and was pleasantly surprised to see the used pistachio butter and not a syrup. It was lovely. I had to keep my child from drinking it all! While the wait was long, it was definitely worth it. The space is smaller than I imagined. The food came out fast for how packed it was. It's worth it!

    I loveeeee DiAnoia's. I come here a lot for dinner. I've never tried their lunch menu and finally…read moregot to go! We started with the whipped ricotta and potatoes and both of those never miss. We also shared the house salad. Both sandwiches we had were delicious. Everything was so fresh and light. The sandwiches are HUGE, real bang for your buck! DiAnoia's is a Strip District staple and I never leave hungry or disappointed!

    For some reason, I had a feeling that something was amiss regarding this dining experience. I made…read morethe reservation on RESY and we were set. We got to the restaurant, approached the podium, I expressed the reservation and was told that they did not have one for me. We were asked to sit in the penalty box until they were able to find a table. We were fortunate and were seated. Our server was great. Very personable, helpful with the menu, made recommendations, etc. We ordered cocktails, which were very good. We then placed our order for dinner. My spouse had the beans and greens which were found to be quite good. I had the house salad which was also very good. For an entree, Bo ordered CACIO E PEPE and I ordered, BUCATINI all'AMATRICIANA. This is where we started to descend into food limbo. The cacio e pepe was flavorless with as little pepper as possible. So few, in fact that you could accurately count them. The pasta was overcooked and mushy. My entree was another disappointment. In the description, it states: "Bucatini Pasta, Guanciale, San Marzano Tomatoes, Pecorino Romano" Now, can any of you, off the top of your heads, tell me what Guanciale is? Guanciale just happens to be, an Italian cured meat made from pork jowl or cheek. Its name comes from guancia, the Italian word for cheek. It is rubbed with salt, black pepper, and spices, then aged for several weeks, creating a rich meat with a high fat content that is prized for flavoring classic pasta sauces. In my entree they were small cubes, meat-like, and one side of each cube was burnt to a crips, solid black and real crunchy. It gave the whole dish a burnt taste. Not the best. For dessert, Bo ordered the Banana Sundae Cheesecake. I bet you thought it tasted like bananas. Nope. It tasted like cheesecake. I passed on dessert. My choice was determined by the quality of my entry. Atmosphere. There are some restaurants, these days, where you have to raise your voice to talk to one another. Here we had to literally scream but still not be able to hear one another. It's all too common now to forego a suspended tile ceiling and carpet on the floor, which absorbs the sound. This was absolutely the loudest dining establishment I was ever in. Looking around, it seemed that most people have bought into the notion that this is as good as it gets when it comes to dining ambiance. Look, I'm old school and this just didn't cut it for us. There certainly are a lot who love the restaurant and grade it accordingly. I'm just not one of them. Bon appetit!

    The gentleman at the cash register was very quiet and I had to ask him to repeat himself a few…read moretimes (I also can't hear too well most of the time), which I felt bad about making him do. Not too friendly, yet also not rude, I think maybe just a bit shy. I went here in particular because I saw they had gluten free everything bagels & vegan cream cheese, so I was sooo excited to order it, but unfortunately they did not have any gluten free bagels at that time. I looked around for another GF & DF option, and landed on a couple of hard boiled eggs. Can't go wrong with a hard boiled egg, hehehe! I ordered a cold brew with the sugar free hazelnut & asked for extra syrup, which I soon determined was not necessary. That's a great thing though! It was an amazing sugar free syrup & if you get the SF hazelnut I'd suggest just keeping the amount as is. Their cold brew itself was really yummy too (well from what I could tell because I accidentally asked for too much syrup, hahaha). It is so stinkin' cute inside this shop and I wish I had more time to look around a bit. I definitely plan to go back, and fingers crossed I can try the GF everything bagel next time! I'd love to look around more inside & actually dine in, because it felt wicked cozy! I also love that they offer glassware options for those who dine-in, plus they use compostable items for take-out. Heck yeah! I really recommend checking this place out :)

    We were gifted the Pittsburgh Coffee Passport for Christmas... and Caffe d'Amore was our first…read morestop! The cafe is nestled in the upper Lawrenceville... where parking is simple and life is slower lol From first glance, this establishment is ready to make you feel right at home. With cute signage everywhere instructing you on there sustainability practices and fun flavors of the month, you go from first time to feeling like a regular instantly. The lattes... were.... DELIGHTFUL. We got a peppermint latte and a vanilla oat milk latte. The flavors were rich but not cloyingly overpowering. We also ordered a breakfast hand pie (why does life not use the term hand pie more often, you just feel so fun ordering one) and an Egg & Cheese Bagel. Both freshly put together and toasted to perfection. It is great when a cafe has actually delicious and intentional food. The staff was more than ready to give their suggestions and help. They kindly announce when your order is ready and wait with a smile to hand it off to you! There were plenty of cute places to sit and the decor was just so.. them. They have a restroom available and well marked as well. We may have a passport full of coffee places to try, but Caffe d'Amore might just have to be a regular spot during the journey anyway!!
