Pittsburgh Roast: A classic gets a fresh coat at La Prima

Ask a local about La Prima Espresso, they’ll tell you about a neighborhood coffee shop filled to the brim with old Italian men sipping espresso and nibbling biscotti. However, the new location isn’t your grandpa’s coffee shop.

Located between Downtown and the Strip within the new AC Marriott, the cafe is gorgeous – blonde wood meets white-and-baby blue signage, creating an ambiance that’s strikingly modern yet classic.

The drinks are still top-notch. Premium espresso and fine house blends are at the forefront of the menu, making for an experience sure to please even the most finicky caffeine aficionado.
