FOR THE TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Monday, September 20, 2004

The brick oven was roaring at Enrico's, the neighborhood ristorante in Shadyside that's a haunt for foodies seeking rustic retro classics. The dining area opened to the sidewalk on Monday with a fast-forward crowd celebrating the charmer's first birthday, while raising funds for the Homeless Children's Education Fund.

Celeb chef Luigi Caruso tossed pasta with owner Larry Lagatuta, David Caliguiri tended bar, his mom Jeanne waited tables, the flavor of Italy was in every dish, and Izzazu's Emilio greeted the grateful fed. They included HCEF prez Joe Lagana; Herman Tomer; Scott and Tony Accamando; Steve Massaro; Bonnie Tambellini; Mary Legas; Cheech and Bruce Capristo; Joey Vallerian; Tom Yargo; Franco D'Amico; Lolli Rendina; Carole Clifford; and Reid Vogel.

That's amore.
