Saturday around noon, I went with my wife and met a friend at a place that I've been wanting to visit for quite a while.

3-15-17 / Cenacolo / Irwin, PA
Located only a 20 minute drive away from Pittsburgh, Cenacolo is an authentic, high-quality Italian restaurant focusing primarily on fresh, homemade pastas.
