Visited last weekend for the first time and I will start with the positive. The food was delicious! We had the shrimp appetizer, pappardelle bolognese and ravioli which were all great and perfect generous portions. The dinner rolls were quite disappointing. Tasted like something from Costco or BJs rather than good Italian bread which I would expect to be served here. I will note the oil/vinegar/seasoning dip was delicious!
Overall the service was very disappointing. We were told we had one server, then a different one, then finally we had John, who was not very attentive or professional. My boyfriend had to ask for a wine menu after he asked what we wanted to drink. The menu was then handed to me. We also had to ask for more water when our glasses were empty which was mishandled. The pitcher finished filling my boyfriend's glass and the waiter never returned with more water to fill mine, until we flagged him down. At a nice restaurant we have certain expectations of service which definitely fell short here.
We are from NYC and were in town for a long weekend. We came here for a nice dinner since the Peter Herdic house was closed but will not be returning.

Excellent service and food. Great menu. Pasta is made fresh on premises. We were visiting our freshman at Bucknell for family weekend. It was worth the drive from Lewisburg.

Fabulous Crab Cake and Filet Dinner with Remy Cognac. All food was prepared with attention to detail. Owner personally checked that my meal was delicious.

We were in Williamsport for a short visit with family and looked for an upscale restaurant to take our local family to. We were quite impressed with the food, wine, service, ambiance at DiSalvo's. Everything was top notch and comparable to high end restaurants in big cities. We'll be back the next time we're in town.

I learned I am unique and appear to be rhe first person to search their website for hours they are open. Seems I am way ahead of my time. Seems I am the first person to ever search for their hours online. Cool.

Wonderful dinner here for my husband’s birthday. The food and staff are amazing. One of the best meals we have had in a very long time.

Dude! Thomas DiSalvo was such a jolly guy! I loved meeting him and Gina was especially spicy like a taki!

Very nice indoor as well as outdoor seating. Live music was playing while we were there. Prompt service delicious food and varied menu. The steak was very large portion and delicious. Calamari rings would have been better if they were fresh not frozen rings

Ok, bartender gets yelled at by crazy haired owner lady in my presence, I don't go to restaurant to witness conflict... it was unfortunate... big turn-off.... food was ok. experience was quite uncomfortable at times witnessing berating staff. Staff were walking on eggs with the lady.
For this transplanted native NYr, DiSalvo's is a marvelous Central PA find. Everything on the menu is wonderful. The pastas and cheeses are house made, as are the sauces. Each dish, whether a special or a staple, is always perfectly prepared and plated. The cocktails are creative, and the wine list is top shelf. The desserts are classic. The service is attentive without being overbearing. The seating arrangements offer a great variety of choice: informal kitchen, white table cloth dining room, sumptuous bar, outdoor patio. Whichever you choose, the ambience is perfect with one exception: the pedestrian background "elevator muzak" is totally out of synch with the wonderful food and atmosphere. The saving grace is that its soft enough to be mostly ignored. They'd be better off with silence.

There are very few restaurants that make the list of places that I have to get back to and DiSalvos is one of them. It’s beautiful, the service is fantastic and they treat you like you’re someone else’s family (if you know what I mean). Even if that’s enough the menu haunts me. I love to eat and this place is designed for real foodies. I love you guys, I’ll be back, I swear, virus or no!!! It’s a 4 hour drive but I’m coming back soon.

This restaurant gets a 10/10. They took such great care of our group celebrating Ruth Kissell’s 90 birthday. The service and food amazing. Thank you DiSalvos!

We ate in the kitchen and was a little noisy. First time here. I enjoyed everything about my experience. Highly recommend eating here.

Over priced for what you get! Wedge salad was very small for 13$ tiny tomato pieces and three slivers of bacon. I had the Zuppa di pesce . Two tiny pieces of lobster. Two of clams were dead could not open them with my knife. You get 4. They said sorry nothing they could do. For a 38$ plate they could have replaced them. They give one hard dinner roll early with an oil. No other bread offered at all. Not even with entrees. Not a place I recommend or even a go to for Italian.
