Great selection of quality foods. Accommodated my dietary restrictions. Nice environment and service. I also appreciated they had plastic free take-away containers for the leftovers.

Jennifer as a great server. Always checking on us. Salmon and pork dinners were delicious. Always enjoy the toasted bread with the tomato ham. You guys need to sell it.

What a pleasant surprise. We were driving through State College and decided to stop at this restaurant. We were thrilled with the entrées, including the salmon and the risotto. The restaurant is a bit hard to find because it's incorporated into the Hilton hotel, and they won't allow the restaurant to have their own sign. Just follow the GPS and pull into the parking lot and you will be there. Don't pass this up.

Good Italian food in a relaxing atmosphere. Enjoyed the Mushroom Risotto and the onion soup.
Diverse enough menu but not overwhelming. This property is at the Hilton Garden Inn.

THE best spaghetti and meatballs in the world. Try Nonna's Spaghetti, you will not regret it! (Another positive is that they no longer use plastic containers - now, it will arrive in compostable cardboard packaging with a lid for delivery orders - this image is old!)

Food was great. Waitress was wonderful. Atmosphere was a 3. They are remodeling but it is still the lobby of the hotel.

Food was excellent! While menu selections may be somewhat limited, they make up for it with quality. My only complaint would be that our initial drinks were slow in coming, but they were well made.

We ate here on a Saturday night, and as we walked into the Hilton Garden Inn, the lobby area was being refurbished, which I think is normally where the restaurant is located?
Instead, we were directed to a converted private room/banquet space. We arrived around 6:10 and there was only one other guest In the space. The space was definitely lacking in any real atmosphere with vacuums, and make-shift service areas. Our server was mostly attentive, but it seems as if restaurant staff was embarrassed by the setting as there was rarely any staffer around.
I could forgive the location given the renovations, if the food was stellar. Sadly, the food was lacking too. The antipasto was fine. My wife and daughter had the spaghetti and meatballs and the sauce was overly sweet. I had the gnocchi and grilled chicken. It was ok at best? Not sure who thought it was a good idea to have the gnocchi swimming in a bowl of cheese sauce? It was way too heavy.
We overheard another couple who came in while we were there who had to send back their lasagna dish because it was not cooked through.
The facility is under renovation at present. Food is excellent and moderately priced. Portions are larger than expected.

Wow... just wow, I walked into the restaurant with my wife and autistic child. Immediately I was greeted with excellent customer service. When the food came out I could automatically tell that this was cooked by the magical touch of Sebastian Rhoades and Nash. The desert was out of this world, some could say I was floating away. Would 100% try again and we will be back!!!

Great place! We go there with friends! Delicious and fresh food!

Sebastian (the cook) made the gnocchi that reminded me of my mother’s. 10/10 best food ever and beautiful plating. Thought I was in Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant

I would avoid this place for now.
