16 Best Italian Restaurants in Erie

“Super good homemade food, pleasant atmosphere outstanding customer service. If you've never had breakfast there go now!“

“Small dining room, but service was fast and friendly. The food is amazingly good and in large portions. Almost two meals for the price of one. The loaded potato soup that came with the dinner was rich and creamy. We had the lasagna and chicken Alfredo and both were exceptional. A must order is the cheesy garlic bread. Hard to beat. You have to try, will enjoy.“

“On a Friday evening at approximately 7 PM, my wife and I went to Colao’s Restaurant with our 3 month old daughter. Our baby did not make a peep the entire time we went in to get a table. The hostess, who was exceptionally unsympathetic and rude, said she didn’t believe they could make any accommodation for our very compact stroller. She checked to see if she could stuff us in the back corner and when she was unable to she told us she had no room for us that evening. She didn’t even offer a possible wait time! As a side note there were several open tables available at the time we were standing there and they were allegedly reserved. I have a very difficult time believing they were unable to find a spot for two people and a very compact stroller the remainder of the entire evening. Apparently the “Italian” family restaurant I remembered was no longer very family oriented if there was potential to disturb the ambiance for their elegant clientele. Anyways, we called Ricardo’s and they accepted us with open arms! The atmosphere was much more welcoming and family oriented as we prefer and the staff was extremely pleasant and kind. The portions were larger and in my opinion much better for a more modest price. So if you feel like dining Italian in Erie, I would highly recommend Ricardo’s.“
