“ Laforêt, long one of Pittsburgh's best restaurants, is closing in July.  Owners Michael and Robert Uricchio have sold the Highland Park restaurant to Joseph Tambellini, the executive chef at Franco's Trattoria in Dormont, who expects to reopen the restaurant as a new Italian concept.  For more than 10 years, Laforêt garnered a strong reputation for its contemporary French cuisine. It was named the city's best restaurant by Pittsburgh Magazine and was recognized by national publications Gourmet and Wine Spectator. “ Tschooley at bizjournals.com, (412) 208-3826
