For our first blog I thought we should keep it simple and give you as much information as possible.
Here at the restaurant we are gearing up for the Holidays (I know its early), but secure your event date — many are booked already.
Also, October is going to be a lot of fun here. We have a Scotch Tasting Dinner on October 17th with Master of Whisky Michael Parducci. Seating will be limited to 30 guests!
Count Caponi will be returning for a private dinner and conversation at the end of the month. Which we are sure will prove to be an evening once again filled with Florentine facts and lore.
And there's our annual Italian Dinner (around Columbus Day), with Banfi Winery! Look for a menu and date soon.
At Heinz Hall, Martin and his staff are ready for a new season. The Mozart Room is open for dinner and brunch during scheduled events and programs. Make your reservation to compliment your performance. Also don't forget the Hall and Mozart Room can be booked for your private events as well.
Hats off to our Catering division as they continue to make an outstanding impression at all of our events and venues. This week The Common Plea Catering put another "feather in its cap" with the NFL KICK OFF PARTY at Point State Park. Talk about an event! ALL STAR then this... whats next?
Thanks Catering for making the Common Plea a place we can all be proud to be a part of!
