From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the mood perfectly--dim lighting, warm and inviting, with Sinatra Christmas tunes playing softly in the background. It felt charming and intimate, especially welcome given the extremely cold temperatures outside. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive, checking on us regularly without ever feeling intrusive. The cocktails were excellent and did a great job warming us up, which was very much appreciated. The food was absolutely amazing. Everything we tried was rich and flavorful, with a standout Gorgonzola sauce that was truly delicious. The creamy burrata with pesto and balsamic was perfectly balanced, and the scallops were easily some of the most delicious we've had--cooked beautifully and full of flavor. Ristorante Ottaviani is such a comfortable, charming place to enjoy high-quality Italian food. A wonderful spot for a relaxing, special meal, and we're already looking forward to going back.

It's a small spot tucked right in the middle of the block off 17th Street in Altoona. Don't let the location fool you--it's worth every bit of the drive. My wife, our three teens, and a longtime friend joined me for dinner. We started with the drunken mushrooms as an appetizer, and even though I'm not usually a big mushroom guy, these were absolutely phenomenal--packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. We also tried the chef's special tomatoes and mozzarella in a balsamic vinaigrette, which was fresh and delicious. Everyone ordered different entrees, including a crab cake, encrusted chicken with vegetables, and shrimp Alfredo. Every single dish was outstanding. My crab cake was one of the best I've ever had--loaded with crab and seasoned just right. Nothing was heavy or overly sauced; it all tasted fresh and high-quality. To top it off, they brought out a dessert tray with multiple made-fresh options. My wife also had a freshly made cappuccino that she really enjoyed. The wait staff was attentive, polite, and genuinely friendly the whole night. Amigh even stopped by our table to check in and make sure we were having a great evening. If you're craving a really solid, high-quality Italian meal without any fuss, do yourself a favor and check out Finelli's Italian Villa. We left completely satisfied and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

    What a great find!! My husband and I decided to go ona random road trip. We decided that whatever…read moreplace we chanced upon to eat we will stop at. At first we were getting worried because for each town we passed through, there were no place to eat and we choose not to fast food food chains. Kept driving and then found the cute town of Keyser. We actually passed this restaurant but because the outside look of the restaurant kinda drew our attention, so we u-turned and went in. So first things first, you have to order & pay first before sitting in, there is a counter as soon as you enter. The place is a bit small, they had about 10 tables, four chairs a piece. Looking at the menu, I must say they are pretty cheap for italian. We are used to a little more pricier in our area so we were a little worried the portions were going to be small, but I was so hungry I didn't care. My husband got the Chicken Parmesian $13.50 and I got the Baked Ziti with Meat $11.50. Each plate is served with a salad and bread. Salad came out first, it was a big salad. Ask for the house salad dressing, it is like a vinaigrette with spices, really good. Then they brought the bread and butter, one full roll for each of us, was really warm. Really soft and oh so good. Then came out the plates meals. Omgeeeee...... I thought they gave us too much but no! That is how they serve their meals. My husband's plate looked like there was a pound of spaghetti and tons of mozzarella all over the plate. As he swirled the noodles, he saw that there was layer after later of cheese and sauce. Plus 3 chicken parmesan cutlets. Most places dont give that much. And mine.....let me tell you... my meal was so heavy I was rolling laughing. Each scoop of pasta was coated with mozzarella cheese and meat with sauce. Everything was delicious!!! But we couldn't finish our plates, so we took it home. We also had to try their Limoncello with Mascarpone filling cake. It was super soft, full of flavor and so worth it. Must get it!! But I believe it's not an everyday dessert so it might be different on different days. So keep and eye out for the small sign of Dessert of the Day. So keep in mind, huge portions!! One order can feed 2 or 3. This place is a gem and I'm so glad we chanced it. A must go to, you won't regret it!!
