ABOUT SPORK

We are a chef-owned restaurant with a firm commitment to scratch preparation. Our constantly evolving menu features fresh pasta and house-cured meats alongside a variety of composed dishes. We have a quarter-acre vegetable farm adjacent to the restaurant where we grow a wide selection of produce. For what we can’t grow ourselves, we work with local farmers and purveyors to highlight the diverse bounty of Western Pennsylvania.

Still serving amazing food like our Tagliatelle Bolognese, but also serving a safe + healthy environment to dine in every day!
.
Our staff is masked from start to finish of service, from when they walk in the door until they leave.
Every table has hand sanitizing bottles from local @boydandblair distillery for the guests to use during their visit.
We have clean air circulating from outside intakes.
Socially distanced tables reducing our occupancy significantly, but ensuring our guests safety.
On a beautiful day like today we have outside seating for those who prefer.
Scheduled cleanings occur throughout the night sanitizing door handles, surfaces and all utensils.
.
Our guest and staff’s safety is of the highest priority to us, and we will continue to go above and beyond CDC and WHO recommendations for keeping our environment clean, safe and healthy to ease the minds of our guests on the occasions that they’ve chosen us as their host for a brief respite from these difficult days.

Posted @withregram • @obsessionwines Meet @seandenright, winner of our Cocktail Competition 🍹👏🏼

Sean Enright is one of the founding fathers of the craft cocktail movement in Pittsburgh. Before joining the team at Spork, he managed several of the city’s most prestigious restaurants and helped found the Pittsburgh Chapter of the United States Bartenders Guild (@usbg).

Before starting his career, Sean received formal training at the Harvard Student Agencies School of Bartending in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He spent the following years traveling and pursuing a photography career before accepting a position at Café Allegro in 1997. He quickly realized he had an aptitude for the restaurant business and was promoted to General Manager in quick succession. After seven years there, and another three as Wine Director for Big Burrito Restaurant Group, his passion for wine and bar programs led him to a position at Embury, Pittsburgh's first craft cocktail bar, where he began mentoring many of the city’s top cocktail talents. He then moved on to General Manager positions at Mio, Andora, Spoon Sienna, Bar Marco and The Livermore. Sean designed cocktail programs at several local bars, including Lava Lounge, Carmella’s Plates & Pints and Tiki Lounge, while working on his first cocktail book, Pittsburgh Drinks which was published in March 2017 by Arcadia Press.

After his book was published, Sean accepted the General Manager position at @sporkpgh . His versatile cocktail menu uses techniques and styles from many different genres of cocktailing including Japanese, Tiki, molecular mixology, pre-Prohibition, current trends and forgotten classics. His goal is to provide a well-rounded menu that offers a drink for every palate and exceeds every guest’s expectations.

Sean appreciates the sense of community amongst his fellow team members at Spork. “To find like-minded individuals who are as enthusiastic as you are about providing the highest degree of hospitality to our guests is pretty rare. Unlike other businesses, restaurants seem to promote a familial camaraderie that I've always found endearing,” he says.
