Service and atmosphere were good. Food was terrible. Instant mashed potatoes. Frozen calamari. I can make better pizza at home.

Coming Judgement
Today, when I went to Mattucci’s, it was to celebrate a personal accomplishment. I first went there in 1978, and I’ve been there a number of times since. Forget Olive Garden. This is the real deal. It’s like stepping back into time and experiencing what it’s like to eat in the dining room of an old Italian home. It’s very relaxing. Very comforting.

I’ve always had great service here. Which is why I keep coming back. But today was a little different. This is the first time I’ve been to a restaurant, by myself, since my wife passed away 3 years ago. I’ve been putting it off, because I knew it would be difficult. However, my server today was Ashley. She really blessed me today with her level of energy, her personality, and her grace. She impressed me so much that she joined the ranks of the best servers I’ve ever had, with 2 others, a server from Hotel Hershey, and Scott’s (a former restaurant in downtown Harrisburg). She made my day, and greatly enhanced my experience today.

The meal I got today was great and arrived fairly quickly. Compared to some other Italian restaurants, Mattucci’s gives bigger portions, and the quality is so much better. Along with the ambience, it is just a great dining experience. The result of small town living. This is rapidly unraveling. Take advantage of it while you can. Soak it up. Revel in it. Celebrate it. It’s the remnant of a bygone era in our history.

Return Visit (11/04/23) Took my daughter here for her birthday. After eating at a number of restaurants in the past few months, and getting a pathetic amount of food. My faith is restored coming to Mattucci’s. They have a large menu. I was worried that the recent renovations would change the ambiance. It didn’t. When we came in, it was really busy, and there were only 2 servers working. Yet, we got waited on fairly quickly, and got our food in a reasonable amount of time. The food was great, the service was great. When I left, I was not hungry, like I am when I leave other restaurants. Food prices are going up, and I don’t mind paying, if the amount of food balances is out. Here it does. I will be coming here more often rather than these other restaurants that I believe are taking advantage of people. In addition, Mount Carmel is a neat little town to visit, with a number of shops to visit in their business area.

Good: Pizza was very good, but honestly has too much cheese on it(for me). The pasta fagiolo was edible, but served colder than i would prefer it.
The not so good: food was cold. All four platters were late and cold. Sorry. They forgot our Calamari appitizer that we ordered. I didn’t get a whole draft beer(it was 3/4 of the way full and there was literally no one at the bar). Waitress says there were 2 meatballs in the sampler, only got one.
The atmosphere? No music. You can hear everyone’s table convos. It’s Like sitting in someone’s basement.
I really wanted to like this place but it was very expensive and disappointing.

Everything is good but the pizza is just so so. Sauce way to sweet and average crust at best and cheese never cooked enough. Whole thing is overpowered by the sickening sweet sauce.

Chicken parm could be thinner like a cutlet was too thick. Not the mattuccis I remember from years ago.

I was disappointed to say the least. I’ve been familiar with the name my whole life, so I must have put them in a higher class based on the opinions of others. I had ordered two of their Chicken Cordon Bleu meals, which have no special accompanying description to tell you that it is not the cordon bleu you ate and are picturing in your head right now. So you could imagine my confusion when I opened the box to find chicken parmesan with a piece of prosciutto(?) tossed between one of the pieces of chicken. When I called they told me “that’s our cordon bleu, thats how we make them.”
We ordered some soup as well. Pasta figoli wasnt bad, I never had it before so I cant compare it to anything. It didnt leave me thinking Wow but I would probably eat it again to break up the monotony in this areas food choices.
The wedding soup must also be made “their way”. Again, not bad but not particularly good either. Looks almost like its made with rice? I dont know.
The spaghetti appears to have been made how you would expect it to be, that’s a safe bet if thats your kind of thing. I would get it without the sauce unless your partial to watered down tomatoe paste.

Now I dont mean this to be some free advertisement. I havent been paid for this review in any way, but you can have this $15 meal for two for the economical price of $52.

Outstanding food tonight like always. I had the Chicken Rollatini with prosciutto and cheese and a side of homemade Gnocchi with marinara sauce. I seriously can’t wait to get it again. It was fantastic!!!

What a nice restaurant in Mt Carmel. Great atmosphere and service with a smile. Best meatballs and yummy sauce. Didn’t care for the bread, I prefer crusty bread with a soft center. Other than that, it was an A+.
