8 Best Italian Restaurants near Altoona

“Among the best Italian restaurants Ive ever been to personally. Theres a dish called La Madiera or something close to that with creamy pesto, spinach, garlic, and sausage, absolutely incredible. My wife had classic alfredo and said it was excellently done.“

“First time coming here wasn't sure want to get. The cook was helpful said the original Italian sub with a side of Alfredo sauce. But only if I liked spicy. And oh my was he right. My friend had been to a fazoli when she was younger. She got the 7.99 deal. Her meal was just as good. The garlic bread sticks were very good. Just know they are very soft so anyone can eat them. If you dip them in Alfredo sauce they can get a bit salty. Their sweet tea is not as sweet as McDonald's but still a decent amount of sweet. Kind of a good thing they are not closer to us. Would be fatter.“

“We just moved to the area and I was less than impressed with the previous local OG. But we figured we’d try the OG in Eau Claire. I have a shellfish allergy and within 5 minutes of me mentioning the allergy our server notified his manager Nick who promptly came to the table and explained they would take extra precautions and delivered our food. Our waiter Levi did an excellent job! We didn’t have to ask for anything he saw our needs before we did. Clearly this OG management knows how to run an AWESOME restaurant! Thanks for the awesome experience!“

“An employee named Debbie brought out my food with a smile. Some of the best service I’ve have in Eau Claire. the sandwiches were aesthetically pleasing and absolutely delicious. I would recommend mancinos to anyone looking for amazing food and a welcoming environment.“

“We treated ourselves to dinner there on the Saturday after Christmas. It was amazing. Impecable details abound from the attentive wait staff, to the cooked-to-perfection (and personal requests) meals, desserts and cocktails. An excellent choice for feeling pampered... perfection without ego! Comfortable! A special note of thanks to Eric for his attention to every detail.“

“My partner and I came in recently without a reservation and the hostess looked quite busy as expected on a busy night. She still greeted us with a smile and got us a table as quick as she possibly could. Our server was wonderful too, smiles all around the establishment. Our food came out quick and hot with enough for us to take home as well. Will definitely be eating here again!“

“I LOVEEEEEEE this restaurant!! The food has always been delicious, and you absolutely cannot go wrong with their gyros! The meat is seasoned so well I could honestly eat a plate of JUST that. If I'm just stopping in and not feeling SUPER hungry, the fries with a side of tzatziki is an amazing snack! The lemon pepper on the fries brings it to a whole new level. The owners are so kind too! Amazing atmosphere, amazing service!“

“Our waitress was fantastic & recommended the spicy ranch with the pickle cheese curds which was so good & the Philly calzone was delish & no joke was GIANT! My husband & I could've definitely split one, but we both had half a calzone left for lunch the next day. Great experience & we will definitely be back for another huge calzone!“
