Pennsylvania Macaroni / Sunseri Brothers

RE: Today's Roadfood Restaurant of The Day
Sunseri Brothers - Pittsburgh, PA

The feature shows a photo of Pennsylvania Macaroni with the caption:
"In the heart of the Strip district, which was named for its ribbon-like strip of streets, Sunseri Brothers is the place to go for all foods with an Italian accent."

The problem with this identifiction is that most Strip District customers, when mentioning the Sunseri Brothers, mean Jimmy and Nino Sunseri's store which is a half-block away from Penn Mac, which is now operated by a cousin, David Sunseri.

Jimmy and Nino used to worked for Penn Mac several years ago, but decided to open their own store in competition with Penn Mac, which as founded by their father and uncles.

Being a PA native, born and raised in the PGH area, lover of Pennsylvania Macaroni Co., going there with my Nona, my Mother, my aunts and uncles, I was a little disappointed in the write up of this fabulous groceria. Not one pic of the salumeria, the cheese, the olives, the pasta, the endless choices of marinara, the olive oils. This store is a GEM!

Well, the review is from 2001, so it probably needs to be updated.
