Best italian restaurant in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania (PA) 2024

If I could give more stars, I would. Last night, we stopped in close to their close time. We had family from out of town to celebrate our sons birthday and our daughters middle school play. Things got later than we thought for dinner and thankfully Mama Lucretia’s was open. When we walked in, they had enough work already that they probably were going to get out of work late as it was. But when we opened their door, they smiled and warmly invited us in. And even though it was late, they made an amazing dinner for us. The food was incredible. And the server we had went all out to give us a good experience even amongst chaos. We do not normally show up closer to close time for restaurants. But this was sort of an unusual circumstance. They truly knocked it out of the park and I encourage everyone who loves authentic Italian cuisine to check them out. They are a gem here in Bellefonte. Never had a meal here that I didn’t absolutely love! ~Jennifer
