We sat in the bar area and had a great experience. We tried several items off the menu and all were tasty. So many to choose from, I need a few more trips to really expand on my thoughts, but I would describe the menu & food as very old school traditional recipes, & that’s exactly what I expected, so no surprise there. One thing that caught my eye was homemade Italian Wedding soup, which I absolutely love, but couldn’t fit into my meal this time. Our server did her best to attend to our needs, but we hit a bit of a rush at the bar when we arrived and had to wait a bit long for our first round. Peroni on tap is a big plus for me, very happy when it arrived. My wife and I loved the booth by the bar and we will definitely return to try more Italian favorites.

What a great place! Operating in the community for many years. Our first time. Made a res, then sat at the bar. Mitch was so friendly, and an excellent bartender. The couple next to us told us it used to be a music college that the husband went to over 60 years ago. Old-world decor and feel with actors and musicians autographs covering the walls from the Hershey Theater and local music scene. Menu was very large for a traditional Italian restaurant. But food was a mix of traditional and new creative dishes. We had the wild mushroom saute appetizer which was sooo rich and delicious. For dinners we enjoyed the pappardelle ragu and pescatore risotto. Amazing. 10 out of 10. Skip the flashier well-marketed tourist places for here – you won’t be disappointed! Plus they had Frank Sinatra playing in the background

We had a fantastic dinner here on Black Friday. We had the meatballs for an appetizer. Very good. The wedding soup was really good as well. I had the gnocchi with marinara sauce while my husband had the veal parm. Both were very good. Our son had a kids meal, which he loved as well. We finished with the deconstructed cannolis which was my favorite part of the meal! We are not local but will definitely make it a stop on our list when we visit Hershey!

I don’t know if we went on an off night or what.

Good Things:
– Chocolate Martini
– Ricotta Skillet
• super garlic-y

Bad Things:
– Seafood Pasta
• Watery
– Lasagna
• rubbery sausage
• tasted… off?
– Hostess
• cold demeanor
– General: would be asked questions, but they didn’t seem to actually hear our answers. examples: 1. we asked for two boxes. recieved one at first. 2. plates were given to incorrect people despite us verbalizing who was who.

I loved our server though! Wasn’t the most attentive, but it seemed like she was doing a lot.

Staffing was great the waiter was polite and very talkative. He was very easy to talk to and made us feel comfortable, got some giggles out of us with his witty comments. Food was great! Drink was a-little strong to my liking, but that’s just my preference. Do not over estimate on the Stromboli size! It’s huge!!! Definitely brought it home for lunch the next day. Atmosphere was great, a-little to dark my older family members couldn’t read the menu cause the lighting was too low. They had to put the flashlight on their phone to read the menu. But the food was awesome!! Definitely will be back and recommend.

Literally terrible experience. Placed an order on the phone and everything was verbally confirmed. $65 later and we are back at our hotel and there is no dressing on the salad, about 10 pieces of calamari with no lemons on the side like we asked and about 5 bites of crab tortellini for $28! And then when I called back, I was told “I will take care of it” by the woman on the phone and then she hung up. I have no idea if that means I will be refunded or what. Never go here. Not to mention a salad was supposed to come with the tortellini and no cutlery.

I ate here like ten years ago and remember it being a pleasant experience. This time, it was quite the opposite. A lot of the recent reviews are similar to what we encountered. However, some of the reviews were really good, so we figured we’d chance it. Big mistake. We had a reservation for five people at 9:45, and the kitchen is supposedly open until 11:30, so it’s not like we came in right before close. None of the wait staff looked like they wanted to be there. Our waiter essentially just asked us “What do you want?” and then left.

When the food came, it was just dropped off at our table by a different server. My order wasn’t even correct and had to be remade. We were barely checked on and there was very little actual serving going on from our server.

As for the food, the bread was very dry. The salad dressing was good. The sausage was alright, as was the Alfredo. However, everything did need a decent amount of salt added to it. The food wasn’t exactly bad, but I’ve had a lot better and it was just very mediocre. We could have gone to Olive Garden for much cheaper, had excellent service, and with the same amount of love put into the food.

We weren’t offered dessert or anything, so we just paid and left as soon as possible. We shouldn’t have even left the $10 tip we did leave. As a server myself, I would be ashamed to treat my customers like that.

Went for Valentine’s dinner. Service was great and was seated for reservation right away. The spinach artichoke dip was great. Had the tortellini pomodoro was excellent for myself and my wife had the pappardelle ala vodka. Waitress was attentive and helpful. Overall excellent meal and night

I absolutely LOVED eating here. I was on a group trip and they brought out our food, 20 people’s food so fast. I ordered the tortellini blush, hoping it would be similar to another dish I absolutely love, and it was everything I had hoped and more. I usually can’t eat an entire meal at a restaurant in one sitting. I have to take it to go and eat the rest later on. I finished that tortellini blush in maybe 5-10 minutes it was so good. Maybe I was starving from being on the road and running around all day with a huge group of people, but either way, it was absolutely delicious and the servers were super knowledgeable about the town!

What a hidden gem right in plain sight on main street. Our first time. The server was excellent as was the food. Check out the photos. It has a nice bar area if you would prefer that to the dining area. There were four of us. We had appetizers, main entree, dessert, and drinks. We will go back.
