Disgusting. Overpriced garbage ordered a margarita they were clueless and what a margarita was trusted that were disgusting

We enjoy eating there and they treat you respectfully,. Their pizza is very good but their customer service is better. My son who was bedridden ordered a buffalo chicken pizza. I took it home approximately 10 mi from the store and when I opened it there was no chicken on it. He called back and the owner drove a new pizza to our house..

Amazing Service, FOOD, and Atmosphere. Authentic Italian food and a true family environment!

Great food and great service! Anytime I come in, or my parents go and take my daughter with them, the staff is always super friendly with us and especially with my 2 year old. Not only is the server keeping up with their other tables and the service of our table, they are taking those 2 extra seconds to make my daughter's time there extra enjoyable.

Really enjoyed the steak and cheese hoagie and the Sicilian pizza. Good service and a clean establishment. The only thing I would disagree with is the "$" rating for this establishment on Yelp. It's easily a "$$". I'll be a repeat customer.

My family and I have enjoyed excellent dining since the first day they opened. We love the owners, their variety of menu items, the consistency of their food, service & relaxed ambiance. Mama's brownies are the best. Because I'm diabetic, I buy one, have it cut into 4 smaller squares & eat each one after 4 lunch or dinner meals. They keep well in my refrigerator & taste great, even after I defrost it if needed. So far we've enjoyed over 22 years of excellence consistently every time. We love Paolo and Mama because they treat me as family. We miss Papa for six years. I arrived one day, parked in a handicap spot as usual, walked in & asked where I could sit & be served. The servers pointed to a table where they had unknown to me already had put my drink & spices on my favorite table. We all had a great laugh over that one! I have always felt at home here ever since day one, opening day many years ago. We love the people, the food and the excellent hospitality & service. We believe that no other Italian/ Sicilian restaurant has an equal here. Come and in comfort and caring whenever you're in Altoona, PA. Joel A. Weiss

A group of us were in the mood for Italian food, and this business came highly recommended. Tucked away in a residential area, this business has strong local support for dinner, drinks and take-out. The local are not wrong. The interior is, well, eclectic with pictures on the walls of local people and local events, but done in a typical Italian neighborhood place style. Once seated, we had a variety of choices with a wait staff member who was spot on in terms of interaction and meeting all our services needs. I split a Large pizza with a friend and was very good, on par with the best pizza I have enjoyed with plenty left over. Other folks got Italian dishes, and overall everybody was very pleased. This was the kind of place we're tipping more than required because it is merited, so take that as a rousing endorsement!

Walked in and was politely told I can sit anywhere I want including the bar. bartender was friendly. Had me a drink immediately. I ordered the stuffed shells, came with a meatball and a sausage, with a side salad. Everything seem to be homemade, except for the sausage. The food was all good, although I would not rave about it. Would I come back? Possibly. The restaurant was very busy so they must be doing something right.

Very low quality meat. steak was very tough on my moms steak salad and my chicken parm was soggy and tasted frozen because of how stringy and tough it was. Very cheap low quality food. seems like they are trying to cut corners. just make food at home you are better off. used to love this place, now unfortunately things change

Really good Margherita pizza. Calzones are huge and amazing. Yummy Arancini... Service was attentive.
Huge slices!! we are trying every pizza in Altoona and just get slices. Pizza was good, not much cheese but I prefer that. Still on the hunt for a great pizza.

One of our regular family-owned favorites. Slice of pepperoni and a side salad with house balsamic dressing is one of our regular choices. Chicken cutlets and homemade meatballs with any pasta dish are also VG. You really can't go wrong with any choice. Don't be surprised if you see Mama.
