The Rialto Cafe
The Rialto Cafe, located in the heart of Greensburg’s
cultural district and voted Best Bar in Greensburg by Tribune-Review readers,
is the oldest continually operated bar in Greensburg. It is located in one of
the original stone buildings in Greensburg, built in 1796 and a popular rest
stop for travelers journeying on Forbes Road from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. The
building was sold to the Montuori Family in 1933, the year prohibition was
lifted, and turned into a neighborhood bar and Italian restaurant. In 1997,
current owners Mr. and Mrs. John Rullo became fourth generation proprietors,
expanding the business to include Baldy’s Pizza and adding a new, modern bar
and private party facility in the adjoining building. Today, The Rialto Café remains
a Greensburg landmark and local gathering place for people of all ages. With
its great drink selection, atmosphere, and location, The Rialto is the place to
go to relax after work or to hang out with friends on the weekend. The cozy
environment and friendly staff are welcoming to all—even visitors are treated
like locals at The Rialto.
The Supper Club
The Farmers Plate
The Farmers Plate appetizer features local seasonal fare
from Pennsylvanian farms. The platter contains Hidden Hills Old Gold Gouda,
Goot Essa house-smoked camembert, house-smoked Maple Leaf Farms duck breast,
and toasted house-made whole wheat buttermilk honey bread. Complementing these
snacks are pickled vegetables and condiments, including herb grain mustard,
summer squash relish, spicy tomato jam, pickled radishes, hot & sweet green
beans, and “smokra” smoked paprika okra. All pickled vegetables and condiments
are from The Pickled Chef—a local canning and preserving company started by The
Supper Club’s own Chef Greg Andrews. This seasonal dish is sure to pique your
appetite as the foodie tour continues.
Chef Greg selected a white wine to accompany this appetizer.
The 2011 Vermentino by Peltier Station is a flavorful citrus driven wine with
vibrant aromas of lime and green apple, and hints of minerality. A sip of
Vermentino will leave your taste buds bursting with its lively, crisp flavors
and bright acidity.
One Eleven
Spicy Beef Goulash with homemade Spaetzle and Fried Brussel
Sprouts and paired with a Fall Mist cocktail
This comfort food dish really hits the spot on a chilly day
in November. One Eleven slowly braises Short Ribs in a rich stock made of sweet
and hot paprika, tomato paste, and aromatic vegetables for 4-5 hours until fall
apart tender. The secret spice to this dish is the caraway
seed; which gives the meat another dimension of depth. Just before plating, a little vinegar
brightens up the savory short ribs. Homemade Spaetzle crispy pan-fried and quartered brussel sprouts with sweet
golden raisins, crunchy walnuts, and salty bacon make a delicious side-dish to
round out this hearty meal. Lighten this dinner with the Fall Mist cocktail. The base of this seasonal craft cocktail is a generous pour of
Private Label One Eleven Vodka, Sage Liquor, Maraschino, and a dash of fresh
Lemon Juice are shaken until clouded, strained into a coupe, and garnished with
a soaked cherry to create a memorable cocktail.
The combination of flavors makes this meal a noteworthy one.
The White Rabbit Cafe & Patisserie
Cranberry Bourbon Cremeux and Cappuccino
The White Rabbit’s
Cranberry Bourbon Cremeux is all the flavors of autumn in a dessert. Sweet and
crumbly pecan sablee adds a nice texture as the base. The next layer is
caramelized white chocolate cremeux that is silky smooth. The cremeux is a soft
and creamy pudding, and the caramelization process gives the white chocolate a
rich brown color and imparts a butterscotch flavor—perfect for fall! The
dessert is topped with a cranberry compote, containing hints of oranges and
bourbon. The beautiful red color and tart flavor of this seasonal berry pairs
well with the sweet sable base and cremeux for a truly savory dessert.
In between bites, sip a traditional cappuccino. The cappuccino is made with an espresso bean with a big,
sweet, chocolate-like body, and steamed milk is added to provide a very
robust, long-lasting taste that pairs well with sweets. Taking a second cup for the road is never a
bad idea!
