colangelo's bakery

one of the best things about talkingfoodwith otherfoodenthusiasts (apologies for using that term in overabundance, i just hate the term "foodie") is the resulting recommendations that come from discussing where you love to eat. there's a look in the eyes - a widening, a sparkle - that tells you all you need to know. i get that look about many, many things that i have eaten. after chicago, i couldn't talk about thefoodat chicago diner without getting a little misty eyed. i speak in similar ways about the taco stand at las palmas, the shakshuka at sababa middle eastern grill, the buffalo seitan wings at spak brothers. sylvia, from burgh bits and bites, had that look when she talked about the meles at colangelo's. the question, "ooh, what's a mele" nearly sent her teetering off her chair. meles, apparently, are one of the most delicious pastries invented by man, and colangelo's offers some of the best. "you must try it." i take recommendations fairly seriously, and when it's a real

colangelo's has good ingredients, but if you are ordering takeout, don't count on getting what you ordered. now, i don't say this out of haste. i've had two consecutivefoodorders messed up! if you'd followed my posts on the blog, you've seen that i tend

unbelievable. i live in pittsburgh, but i play guitar in the band whitesnake, so i travel all over the world. i can honestly say it's the bestfoodi have ever had in my life. the sausage is to die for. it's real italian food, cooked the same way as in italy. everything they make is the best you ever had in your life.

madonna..!!!. this place is almost like the one i used to go in nj... thefoodit's great and the portions very generous; eating there for lunch in a busy weekend it will be hard but try to go in the middle of the week. you will miss the old italians playing cards and their wifes sitting next to you and also the glamour of their way they talk and dress but... you will go home with a really big smile..!! =) by the way don't forget the coffee next door...at la prima.

fab food!.foodis good, fresh, beautifully presented and reasonably priced. especially fond of the daily soups (porcini mushroom bisque is excellent!). grab a coffee from la prima next door and enjoy it along with colangelo's sfogliatelle or flaky apricot miele. the beans and greens are the city's best. note there are no chairs and only a couple of tables inside. (tables and chairs outside, but limited amount.) however, thefoodis worth standing elbow-to-elbow.
