Bella Terra Vineyards is a winery, restaurant, and event venue in the small town of Hunker in…read moreWestmoreland County. It sells a variety of dry and sweet wines (e.g., red, white, rose, sparkling, and cider), cocktails, mocktails, and beers. Some vineyards are on the grounds as are many barrels and bottles of wines. The restaurant has both indoor seating and seasonal outdoor seating in lakeside cabanas and winter igloos. It is open for brunch/lunch and dinner. It is a nice setting for daily dining as well as special events such as weddings, bridal and baby showers, and private parties. Furthermore, the website lists activities such as bingo, painting and candle-making classes, live music with dancing, and more. For my husband and me, I made a reservation for lunch in an igloo. Our igloo was large enough to fit eight people and cost $50 plus foods and drinks. A larger "party dome" fits up to 14 people and has a fee of $75. The temperatures outside were very cold, but our igloo was kept warm by an electric fireplace and a zippered door. Throughout our meal, our waitress provided timely and friendly service. The Bistro menu listed shareables (e.g., pretzel sticks and charcuterie board), several smash burgers, several flatbreads, mains (e.g., fish and chips, cajun chicken pasta, and quinoa bowl), several salads, several handhelds (e.g., turkey melt, veggie wrap, and Italian panini), many sides, and a couple of desserts. Prices were moderate. (The menus for Sunday Brunch and a group Gathering differ.) The waitress first brought our Sweet Wine-Cookie Flight (4.5 stars), which consisted of the following pairs: Diamond Reo with Brown Sugar Pop Tart, Sweet Finley with Chocolate Salted Caramel, Riesling with Cookies and Cream, and Rose Cider with Strawberry Crunch. The wine glasses came in a wooden box, which was slightly too small, so I needed several minutes of time to carefully pull each wine glass out of the box. I, however, did enjoy the sweet flavors of the wines and cookies. Next our waitress brought out our shareable and two mains. The Hummus Plate (4.5 stars) consisted of fresh and tasty hummus, feta, olives, top seedz crackers, tomatoes, cucumbers, green and red peppers, carrots, celery, and tzatziki. My main course was Crab Cakes (4 stars) with a substituted side of salad. Two crab cakes were a decent size of 4 ounces each, but I would have preferred more crab meat. I liked the garlic aioli. My husband's main course was the Cali Burger (4 stars) with a side of fries. In a brioche bun, a beef patty was topped with fontina cheese, applewood-smoked bacon (which he would prefer be crispier), avocado, avocado ranch, lettuce, and pickles (which he commented were nicely crunchy and sweet-sour) (no tomato at his request). The total price for the flight, shareable, two mains, and a soda was $98 plus sales tax and tip (plus the earlier $50 fee for the igloo).

It was one of our rare…read morechild-free days, so we decided to spend it going out for lunch when we remembered that we had gift certificates to Narcisi. While we had both been here before, it had been a really long time for each of us. When we arrived around 11:45 AM, the place already seemed pretty crowded. Thankfully, we were able to get a table for two. The inside of Narcisi is beautiful, and they have both indoor and outdoor seating. Based on the day we were there, their clientele was also what you might expect, with groups of older women, and I believe there was some type of shower going on in one of the party rooms. For lunch on this day, I ultimately decided on the Calabrese Pizza, while my wife went with the Eggplant Parmesan. We decided to go this route so that we could each share part of our entree with the other. The menu described mine as pepperoni, hot Italian sausage, sweet peppadew peppers, mozzarella, tomato sauce, ricotta cheese, and honey, while my wife's was described as fried eggplant, mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce, and spaghetti. My pizza here ended up being solid, as the meats on top had a ton of flavor, and I also enjoyed the sweetness from the peppadew peppers. While I could see the ricotta and taste it as well, it didn't really do too much for me, to be honest. My wife was also kind enough to share a piece of fried eggplant with me, which I thought was nice. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a nice flavor in addition to the texture. The bottom line for me is that I would stop by here again in the future. Our food was good, and I can see why many love the ambiance at Narcisi.

From coordinating the entree choices to ensuring everything would be perfect, the event staff is clearly an expert in throwing a good event! The space is stunning! The touches in the space make it feel so intentional. They have a separate entry and parking lot available around the back of the building. The room is secluded from the restaurant to where you wouldn't even realize that you were there! You do share the bathroom, but it feels like it is for your event space! For the meal, I had the: Chicken Picatta - they served me three chicken breasts, perfectly seasoned and coated with a mashed potato that I will try to recreate and a seasonal blend of vegetables Tiramisu - this bad boy oozed coffee and was well balanced in sweetness The wait staff perfectly cleared the courses and served without interfering in the speeches or festivities. They simply asked that we provide placards to indicate the meal for each person and they handled everything else to perfection!

It serves European-style foods (e.g., charcuterie, braided pretzels, dips, wings, pottages/soups, harvest salads, lobster rolls, flatbreads, and desserts) and award-winning KingView meads, wines, and hard ciders; PA beers and liquors; cocktails; and non-alcoholic beverages. My husband and I ate one lunch here. An employee very promptly and courteously served us. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Charcuterie Nordic Board - 5 stars - We got the "Serf's Meal" for 1-2 people, but much larger boards are available. It consisted of cured meats, cheeses, fruits, vegetables with dip, dried fruits, crackers, breads, and nuts. It was our favorite food here, and I highly recommend ordering it. Gatherer Flatbread - 4.5 stars - This thin-crust pizza was topped with sauce, mozzarella, tomato, mushroom, spinach, roasted red pepper, and red onion. It was the perfect size for me to eat. Eat it promptly before it gets slightly soggy. Coastal Warmth Lobster Roll - 4.5 stars - This Connecticut lobster roll was served warm with butter. My husband liked the amount of meat and its flavor. Eat it promptly before the lobster meat gets rubbery. Drink Flight - 5 stars - A flight consists of four 3.5-ounce pours. You get to choose from dozens of dry, semi-sweet, and sweet meads, wines, and hard ciders as well as beers. One of the flavors that I wanted was out of stock, but I greatly enjoyed the sweet Banana Berry hard cider, Late Harvest hard cider, Flagship Niagara white wine, and Pink Lemonade mead. Considered the oldest of all alcohols, the Vikings used mead in religious rituals, weddings, funerals, and other ceremonies. KingView sources its honey from local beekeepers and donates a percentage of all sales to fight the declining bee population. Customers may purchase bottles of alcohol in person or online for personal or wholesale use. For our meal, we paid a total price of $65 plus a tip. On certain days, the business holds public events such as live music and trivia, and customers may also rent the space for private events.

We arrived and Christian the owners son had introduced himself. He had explained about the restrictions around COVID that they are only doing samples and bottle purchased. He said this was his parents guidelines. That's fine that they do not want to take a risk, but every one else is doing so. Anyhow he said they've been opened for 11 years. He said it's still a hobby for his dad who is a MD Surgeon. Okay the wine; 5 samples and they had a bunch that were sold out. They make all of the wine in stainless. They do add sticks of different wood flavors for some red wines. All of the wine grapes from Lake Erie. All of the wines that I tasted were good. The dry wines, I tasted sugar in them as if he adds extra sugar to the wines. Christian went through all of the wines, tastes, how to taste and why really well.

When we entered the winery, we were greeted by Michael Kavic (owner). He asked if this was our first visit, and when we told him it was, we were invited to sit down for a wine tasting. The wine tasting was amazing! He first gave us a flight of white wine (6) and told us about each one. In addition to the wine, he provided us with cheese and crackers. The whites were tastefully crafted and absolutely devine. After we finished with the whites, he brought us the red flight. We were able to try 4 of the 6 red varieties because they were out of the other 2. Michael Stephen was so friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. After trying the wines, his wife gave us forms in case we wanted to order anything. We ordered a bottle of white and a bottle of blush wine to take home with us.
