    We happened upon Cork and Fork when looking for a dinner option after a long day of travel from California. The atmosphere at Cork and Fork is nice - lots of brick, and wood, and wrought iron railing. From our perspective, it was clearly the nicest option in the area by far. It was not busy on Friday Halloween evening. But the service was friendly. No complaints there. Cork and Fork is an Italian eatery, which always makes my husband happy because he could order the pizza, which he reportedly enjoyed. I went with a salad with steak. It was so good and really satisfying. The steak was cooked to my liking and the salad was perfectly dressed. Yum! We had a very pleasant dining experience at Cork and Fork - I'd recommend a visit.

    Cork & Fork dessert menu - get the olive oil cake to share

    I never tire of Cork & Fork! Why? A consistent, friendly atmosphere with welcoming service from the staff, especially our favorite server, Mitchell. Great evening, Saturday weather for al fresco dining. The Margherita pizza is always a great choice with a glass of Prosecco.

    First off the view outside of the capital building is spectacular. Secondly Abbie our service was equally spectacular. She was attentive and answered any questions we had honestly We ordered a little bit of everything. My wife ordered the flatbread. Super tasty salty fragrant and wonderful. The. We had the sweet bruschetta with the jam. Super tasty and right kind of sweet and salty combo. Great dish. My wife ordered paperadelle nice braised pork in a red sauce savory with a little spice. I ordered the scallops and risotto very nice dish. Right sear on the scallops and the risotto done perfectly. Great flavor on the mushroom risotto as well Finished everything off with the olive oil cake. Nice tart lemon curd and very tasty. Dense cake with great flavor. What a meal.

    Salumi and cheese board

    Hands down, the best restaurant we went to in Harrisburg. Our server was knowledgeable and gave great suggestions. I LOVED the aesthetic and the espresso martini complemented the overall experience. We started with the cheese board, which I think came with a solid selection of cheese and meats. The pickled vegetables were also delish. Since we visited during lunch, I ordered the pesto Caesar with chicken added. Great flavors and a great portion of chicken. Definitely a great option in Harrisburg!

    Delicious gnocchi

    This place is amazing. Very close to the State Capital it is a quirky place with great vibes and excellent service. A very interesting menu. The pistachio pesto pizza with fresh arugula was delicious, the gnocchi was like a cloud of deliciousness in a tasty sauce, the kale Caesar salad was very fresh and delicious, the salmon dish was also fresh and excellent. I think it is fairly priced for the quality and creativity of the food.

    This staff here is always so wonderful. We stopped here for drinks before a concert. Their menu always has something unique to try. It is always peaceful and inviting inside.

    Roasted fish with summer squash

    This would be a 3.5 star place if that were an option. Food: 3/5 or 4/5 depending on guest order, Service: 3/5 (slow), Ambiance: 3/5 We had a reservation for 2. We were seated upstairs within a few minutes of arrival; no restroom up there and seating area had constant vibration, possibly from kitchen vent/hood on main floor). This place has a good buzz-group vibe. Folks on the main floor and outside, especially the groups of 6 or more appeared content and well-attended by staff. Spaghetti Squash was a standout dish - great flavor and choice for those of us looking for lower carbohydrate options. Meatballs were tough though had good flavor; ours were served with no visible ricotta garnish. Fish was nicely cooked; accompanying vegetables were under seasoned and underwhelming. Brussels were meh (balsamic glaze, though pretty, was not enough to salvage the dish. Needs more fond and more seasoning.) I requested a to-go burrata appetizer and was disappointed (astonished) at the minuscule serving, given the $14 price point: 4 pieces of 1" inch thin toasts, 1.5 ounces cheese (in a condiment cup), pecan dust (less than a teaspoon of salt/sugar with two small pecan pieces in a condiment cup) and a tablespoon each of jam and honey (in condiment cups). We didn't get the pizza, but given our bird's eye view into the expediter station over the kitchen and into the dining room, that looks like a signature dish to try if you're here. The truffle pizza and the scallop risotto each smelled great.when served at the surrounding tables. Definitely get the spaghetti squash. If pizza or risotto are in your wheelhouse, try those. There are better and affordable Harrisburg options for most other dishes.

    Soppressata Pizza
    John M.

    fills up fast so you should make a reservations . kind of trendy and older crowd . tables inside and out we started with eggplant rollatini and had the Soppresata pizza . very good . 6 slices good enough to share . they have happy hour specials . great little place .

    Salmon
    Michael M.

    Great service and food! Stopped in for lunch, the restaurant is peaceful and quiet enough to have a friendly conversation. Ordered the salmon and vegetables and really enjoyed it. Will definitely be back for the pizza and wine.

    We went for lunch was immediately greeted by the host. For Friday lunch, it was pretty quiet. There was seating upstairs and downstairs. Staff were very nice. We got appetizers and split a pizza. I have to say, I wasn't too crazy about their appetizers, we got the Brussels and the eggplant rotini. Pizza was light but worked well with marina that we asked for. The cost to taste and portion ratio was a bit high in my opinion. Minus a star because the bathroom was ICE cold. Otherwise, would be a cute place to visit. Street parking, meter parking

    The food was delicious! I would definitely return again if I'm in the area. Very friendly staff as well! Such a unique restaurant with charm.

The cocktails alone are worth the visit. The bartenders really know their craft, and the alcohol selection, including local beers, is solid. My only real issue is brunch. Every time I've visited after 12 p.m. (brunch is served until 2 p.m.), there's been a problem--either they're no longer taking food orders, the kitchen is backed up with a 45-minute wait, or they've simply run out of food. It comes off unprofessional and could definitely be handled better. I've noticed this becoming a growing trend during brunch service in general, and while some people suggest arriving as early as 10 a.m. for the best experience, consistency matters. If you're offering brunch, you should be properly staffed and prepared to serve guests throughout the full service window. Period. It's especially frustrating when you've traveled specifically to experience their culinary offerings and hit a wall like that. Overall, if you're looking for a spot that feels like a New York-style dive bar with elevated drinks and solid food--if you catch it at the right time--this place delivers. Just plan strategically if brunch is your goal.

    High Dive is an interesting mashup. From the name and the first impression inside, it reads as a…read moredark, slightly dingy dive bar, and it fully delivers that vibe. Then you open the menu and realize there is a surprisingly large Hawaiian themed food selection. It is not really a restaurant, though. It feels like a bar first, with a better than expected food program, not the other way around. The bar service was excellent. I ordered a Sazerac, and they served it with the absinthe on the side so you can add it to taste. That is a small detail, but it shows care and attention, and it made for a great drink. Service overall was friendly and prompt. Even though it is clearly a bar, it is also calm enough during certain hours that you could do some work or have a low key meeting. I would not try that during peak drinking hours. I am not sure of the exact hours, but it seems like more of a late day or evening spot than a lunch stop. If you are in the area and want a solid cocktail and a snack, High Dive is an easy pick.

    It's always special visiting your hometown, and on my latest trip I stumbled across a bar that was…read morenew to me and what a find it was. The moment I realized there was nowhere to park in Harrisburg's awesome Midtown area, I knew I was in for a good time. That kind of energy usually means a place is worth the stop. From the old‑school neon sign outside to the throwback décor inside, the whole place felt like a blast from the past, almost like a little slice of Brooklyn tucked into Harrisburg. The crowd was lively but not overwhelming, with plenty of seating and someone ready to greet you right away. I was told that during the week there's usually no wait at all, which is a huge bonus. I asked the bartender to surprise me with a drink, and he delivered a gorgeous gin Frenchie with perfectly balanced foam and flavor. It was honestly one of the highlights of my visit. This spot is a true hidden gem and now holds a special place in my heart. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great drinks, great vibes, and a throw back atmosphere.
