We had been planning going to Finelli's since New Year, for our anniversary in February. But a bad winter cold postponed it a month. It was worth the wait! Okay, it's not a chic and modern, avant-garde place. It's an old school family run Italian restaurant. And the food reflects that. My wife had the Veal Oscar, and I had Crab Supreme. Both were fantastic! The food was great, and the portions were more than ample! We both took some home, to make room for the homemade deserts, as urged by 90% of the reviews. It also did not disappoint, and one portion of the Lemon Creme Cake was plenty for both of us. It's not a cheap meal, but it is worth every penny!!! This was our first visit to Finelli's, but it certainly will not be our last!

Yes, the atmosphere is cute. Frank Sinatra in the background of course. Service was friendly and efficient. Ordered the chicken Parmesan. Which is typically the safest dish when coming to an Italian restaurant for the first time. I have been to many neighborhood Italian restaurants. Unfortunately I have been spoiled with places like Brooklyn, Manhattan and Long Island. Food was not excellent. The red sauce, which is the cornerstone of an Italian restaurant was very underwhelming. No disrespect, but it may have even been from a jar. I am guessing for Altoona, This is a five star Italian experience. Limited choices except for terrible chain restaurants. So this may be the go to in this neck of the woods.
