16 Best Italian Restaurants near Bellefonte

“Excellent Italian cafe tucked away in Bellefonte. I’m consistently impressed by the quality and deliciousness of their food. You must get a hand crafted beverage while there- excellent. The tiramisu is superb as well.Easy convenient online order for take out as well.“

“Wow! What an experience. We’ve lived here for so long and kept passing this place. I’m so glad we finally tried it! The sauce is excellent! It fills a whole in our hearts from the home town Italian joints we grew up with. Great staff, very quick service. This place is a Bellefonte Gem. Try the lasagna!“

“Loved it! We dined in - had a little inner-city feel to the place. Steak Stromboli was kind of like a big beautiful Philly cheese steak. Margherita was delicious, thin, and foldable. Not exactly like an Italian Margherita, more like a New York Margherita. Still very tasty.“

“Had a delightful and delicious lunch with friends at the Blonde Bistro. Shared an app of the Blonde Bombs (highly recommended!). Lasagna and pizza were amazing. Plenty enough to request take home boxes. Stromboli to go (for hubby) looks delicious and I'm sure it will be. And check out that gorgeous cocktail - a pineapple upside down martini. I hear it was very very tasty (as was my Rubio Mexican lager).Service was excellent - Chris, our server, was very attentive and checked in on us frequently. Ciara, the owner, even came to our table several times to chat and answer any questions we had. Food served quickly and correctly. We all left very pleased and each of us are looking forward to visiting again.“

“When we first walked in, we were a little uncertain as it was completely empty. But the place filled up quickly letting us know this was a great place. We are pretty sure the waitress was also the cook, but she did a great job of balancing everything. We saw no one else working. The food was amazing- really surprising giving the fact we only saw the cook working. I had the chicken parm and the other dish was a seafood vodka- and as you can see we cleaned out plates. Definitely exceeded expectations. A must try when in town!“

“Jim and the crew are great! Awesome real Italian food. Unfortunately we moved to punxsutawney and don't get it as much, but tonight I was in the neighborhood and ordered Togo. An hour and 45 minutes later I surprised my wife and kids. (Im the best dad in the world now...lol) My 13 year olds words. It was still as good as straight from the kitchen. P.S. I wrapped my winter jacket around our food ?“

“Pizza is great, love that they have daily specials. The staff is friendly. Our family usually goes in and gets the $6 pizza and drink combo and it's usually slow inside during the week which is definitely nice, the waitresses have always been super attentive and make sure you're taken care of.“

“Cannolis are solid. Rolls are hot and soft from foil, cheese steak is delightful and filling. Service was easy, called ahead and got my food quick and simple. Although I wish they were open later rather than earlier in the day. The town is night owl territory lol“

“This place is a hidden gem in the area. My father and I went on a road trip and found this place to eat lunch. The male waiter was awesome and attended to us every time. The place was busy but we felt like we were taken cared of. Food didn’t take long to come out. My dad recommends the turkey sub sandwich and I recommend the chicken Parm. Don’t forget to ask for the garlic rolls because they are to die for.“

“The food was amazing like always . I highly recommend the bacon cheeseburger sub ! The service as always top notch friendly fast service . The restaurant is a mellow environment with friendly folks ?Parking: The parking may not be ideal on a busy day but there's plenty of side street options to accommodate the crowd .Kid-friendliness: The staff is friendly and patient .Wheelchair accessibility: Easy handicap accessible ramp with sturdy railing . Wide entryway for wheelchairs .“

“A friend introduced me to The Cove about a month ago and I am a fan! I've gotten delivery from them twice and have had such pleasant experiences. Then, I was having a birthday party for my son and the people at The Cove were nice enough to make the pizzas for us even though they weren't open by the time the party started. I can't say enough good things about this place. Love the food, but love the people who work there even more! Highly recommend!!“

“We had an excellent dinner on Saturday night. The waitress was very good, but seemed like she was very busy as well. It was enjoyable for us to have her wait on us. The portions were excellent and the food was very very good. My salmon was done perfectly and I complemented the chef. Also, the bartender made excellent drinks, so good that my wife drank most of my Manhattan so we ordered another one. Will be back soon.“

“My favorite food here is 'Sausage and spaghetti, with two spoons of red source, and pepper and onion'. The inflation is so bad in the past few years but the price is still very cheap. As a fast food chain, you cannot expect anything more than that.“

“Never been to this restaurant, we were in State College and decided to try a new place to eat. Food was great and the service was A+, we had a 2 year old with us and the waitress Lauren worked with him so well and gave him things to keep him content. Will be sure to visit againKid-friendliness: Lauren did a fantastic job of keeping the 2 year old at the table content and happy.“

“Not the place to go if you have 9 or 10 ppl in your party... Unless u want to wait, we waited about an hour and some change, but once we got a table the food was delicious!! Shrimp and pepper& onion app was bomb!! And the gnocci soup uumm yesss!! Every time! Shrimp Alfredo is amazing and so is shrimp scampi although the asparagus in it was hard, still good! Also the watermelon sangria was delightful!!“

“This is a favorite of the locals. The seating area is tight - very tight in fact - but the food is so, so worth it! I'm gluten sensitive and their gf pizza is amazing. In a town where very few restaurants have a wait, you can expect one here. And parking can be a bit tricky - there is some parking in the lower lot of the motel that you can use, yet even with that, you may find parking a challenge during their busy times.“
