It is 25 degrees F outside right now, and it’s absolutely, positively time to slow down, cuddle up, and eat something warm and cozy.
This is that something warm and cozy.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is truly a great food city. Long gone are the days where we were only known for putting french fries on everything––from sandwiches to salads to pizzas and beyond.

And one of my all-time favorite restaurants––Della Terra just north of Pittsburgh in a small town called Zelienople (zee-lee-in-oh-pole)––did one of those mind-blowing things this past weekend!
