This past weekend we were in Altoona and wanted to grab some dinner before heading back home. We came upon Lena's Cafe. The place definitely had a local hometown favorite vibe. Hubby and I were disappointed that no drink menu was offered, but I was able to get a glass of wine. We both took advantage of the bread that was brought to the table, not warm or anything special but definitely fresh and we were both pretty hungry! We ordered appetizers, I had the fried mozzarella, my Husband had the fried eggplant, both were delicious and served piping hot, but what we really loved was the marinara served with! It was a fresh tasting very tomato forward sauce, yum! I had the crab cake salad for entree and it was tasty, my husband enjoyed his cheesesteak hoagie. Nothing fancy about the place, but the food was good and the place was packed as we were leaving.

Food was fine. Stuffed shells were good. The bread is good. The salads are good with house Italian dressing. Their sauce is great, with a little sweetness. Their meatballs are eh soso. Service is fine. Get sauce to go. I've been here more than a few times. The sauce is what makes it. The lasagna has too much cheese and needs meat or something else added. It is a little boring as is, to me...but still tasty.
