7 Best Italian Restaurants in Altoona

“What a hidden GEM! From the cozy, old-time feeling to the awesome grouper with crab imperial to the “Mama must have made this” Italian dishes, I can’t say enough about Finelli’s and I cannot wait to go back! Truly a great experience all the way around. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen an entire staff this friendly! Every dish was prepared perfectly. We hated to leave but we couldn’t eat any more!“

“amazing food. love it here“

“I am definitely a fan of their fettuccine alfredo! The service at this location varies wildly based on which server you get. I've had fabulous..... and not so good. My last visit, the server was very attentive and anticipated requests such as refills on soup and beverages. It was a very pleasant experience.“

“First time eating at Dino's. We called in an order for a large pepperoni pizza (with onions and mushrooms), an order of mozzarella sticks, an order of onion rings, and the combo steak hoagie (large with no green/bell peppers, add, mayo and lettuce). We were very pleased with our order and the helpful staff. My mother walks with a cane and when she went in to get the order, they walked it out for her. Thank you staff! The food was delicious. The steak hoagie is the best I've had since moving to the area 12 years ago. I've tried a lot of steak hoagies at other places and they were not nearly as good. The meat-to-bun ratio was perfect and it was very filling. The bun wasn't soggy with grease and had great flavor and a nice chew. The onion rings were great. They were not soggy and had great beer batter crunch, the same for the mozzarella sticks. We got a large pizza and it was HUGE. The crust had such good flavor. My only complaint would be that they did not put enough pepperoni on it to sufficiently cover the real estate. They could be a bit more generous with the toppings. Pricing at Dino's is on par with other places in the area. I found I spent the same amount there as I did placing an order to Dominos, the difference being I got a lot more food from Dino's. For what I paid to get a large pepperoni pizza (bigger than anything Dominos serves and better tasting), mozzarella sticks, onion rings, and a really good large steak hoagie, I paid Dominos for a large pepperoni pizza, 2 salads and a brownie. The steak and cheese at Dominos can't even compare to Dino's. I'll be going back to Dino's in the future.“

“Food and service were excellent. But the booth seats are worn and torn. I would think that might be a priority to make customers comfortable“
