Popular Pittsburgh Restaurant Closes

PITTSBURGH, PA —Con Alma on Ellsworth Avenue in Shadyside has closed for daily operations and has transitioned to a space dedicated only to special and private events.

The move was announced on social media.

"At Con Alma we are constantly evolving, embracing every opportunity we can for further exploration and reinvention," a Facebook post stated.

The transition begins Saturday with an evening of music featuring trumpeter John D'Earth from Charlottesville Virginia, who has performed with the likes of Buddy Rich, Dave Matthews, and Bruce Hornsby. He'll be joined for this trio by local heavyweights Andrew Kirk (drums) and Tony DePaolis (bass).

Seatings are at 7 p.m. and 9 pm, with very limited admission at $20 per person.
