I used to think Italian food was overrated, but I came to DiSalvo's and the homemade pasta and sauce took me to another universe. The way the delicate sauce coated the soft gnocchi. The deep flavor of tomato and the creaminess of the sauce mixed so well. I will forever try to chase this flavor profile for the rest of my life. read more

Obviously popular restaurant. I called to make reservations and had choice of 5 pm or 8 pm. Off street parking across from restaurant. Loved the hardwood floors, bookcases, and deep blue walls. We were seated in the kitchen. Apparently this section is for small parties. As the meal progressed, lighting was lowered. The table next to us was at the base of the steps. The barn door from 1st floor kept making it drafty for their table. Caprese salad excellent. Served 1 roll. Would have liked another without having to ask. Swordfish initially too fresh for me. Sent back for a little more cooking. Very good. Cherry gelato was just the right size. Would definitely eat here again. read more

I've been here several times, always for business and always as part of a group event with pre-planned dinners. It's a nice place. Pretty much upscale for the area but jeans would still be welcome. Servers are friendly. They have a nice courtyard for outdoor dining and a building that's kind of separate which is where our group events usually are. If it's nice out there are large doors they can open to seating areas on the patio so it doesn't get stuffy. Food has always been fine but it's not a fair analysis since it's never prepared just for one table. read more

Standing dinner for an annual golf tournament in the area. DiSalvo's is always a highlight. Food is top notch and service outstanding. Tables in the kitchen are the way to go. Great atmosphere and ambiance with low noise levels. Highly recommend. read more

If you're craving old-world Italian food that wraps you in warmth and sauce like a grandmother's hug, DiSalvo's Pasta & Italian Restaurant is your new sanctuary. The place doesn't just serve meals--it hosts experiences. From the moment you enter, you're transported into a setting that feels like the set of an Italian film--equal parts heart, heritage, and homemade magic. THE FOOD: Unforgettable. The kind of cuisine that rewrites your definition of pasta. The rigatoni was flawlessly al dente, the Bolognese slow-cooked like a family secret, and the garlic bread? Dangerous. Everything we tasted was a love letter to Italian tradition, delivered one perfect forkful at a time. THE STAFF: Professional and warm without missing a beat. Service glided through the night like a well-conducted opera--graceful, responsive, and genuinely enthusiastic. You got the sense that they care about what's on your plate and how you feel eating it. THE ATMOSPHERE: Think soft lighting, clinking glasses, a Sinatra soundtrack just loud enough to flirt with your nostalgia, and an energy that made every table feel like part of a shared celebration. The room buzzed with joy and red wine-fueled laughter, creating the kind of vibe that makes time disappear. And then... THE OWNER: Enter stage left--a woman with wild, frizzy black hair, somewhere in her mid-40s, sporting a thick Guido-accented voice that could slice through risotto. She appeared once, maybe twice, gliding through the dining room like she was on loan from a Scorsese casting call. Not unfriendly, exactly--more like ferociously distracted. The kind of presence that makes you wonder if she runs a second business in the back involving cigars, vintage Cadillacs, and untraceable cell phones. Her energy didn't match the warmth of the restaurant--she hovered like a subplot. Definitely not rude in a traditional sense, but there was a vibe. A little territorial. A little don't ask questions, just enjoy the ravioli. Honestly? It added flavor. The restaurant has all the makings of a modern Italian fairytale, and she was the sharp-tongued narrator reminding you, "Don't get too comfortable, paisan." Final Verdict: A perfect night out, spiced with a dash of cinematic mystery. If you want exceptional food, glowing ambiance, and an experience with just enough edge to keep you telling stories afterward--DiSalvo's delivers. Buon appetito--and keep one eye on the espresso machine. read more

Everything here was phenomenal. The meatballs were some of the best I've ever had, the clams casino was delicious, the scallops were cooked well and buttery, the bruschetta was awesome, and the anti pasto was great too! The service was amazing, the entrees were perfect. The mashed potatoes were also some of the best I ever had. 10/10, blew me away! Not to mention the drinks were strong as well!

This was a last minute find as our daughter goes to a local college and we wanted something different being from LoNg Island we are pretty picky when it comes to Italian food. This was amazing!!!! My husbands fish (trout) was the best he's ever had. The whole meal, the server all of it. So good. We grabbed a gift card for our daughter so she could come back on her bday! read more

Amazing place to eat in Williamsport. A chance discovery with the friendliest staff and really great authentic Italian food. From oysters to great salads to the pizza margarita, all done perfectly. The lobster fradiavolo was yummy and the cod franchise delicious. We got a seat in the "kitchen " which was really lively. And then the desserts. Tiramisu and a mousse cake. Yummy read more

Lovely ambiance and near our hotel. No reservation but we got a " no show" table in the main dining room. Nice dinner and service.

This restaurant consistently knocks it out of the park. Every entree that we had was great, the service is very professional - attentive but not intrusive- and we love sitting in the kitchen space. I had the fish of the day, in a Beurre Blanc sauce over risotto & asparagus. Perfectly done and the sauce was delicious. My son had gnocchi which is light and fluffy- not dense. My husband had the tenderloin special and was very happy with his choice. We shared a lovely beet salad as well as the duck egg rolls to start. I was not as taken with the egg rolls, they seemed rather typical (although the sauce was far better than average duck sauce) but my adult son loved them. read more

This place is pretty neat! I would recommend eating in the kitchen area because it's a very cool atmosphere with the cooks right there and you can see the food being made. Everyone was very nice and the service was so quick! Our food was great and I would definitely come back again! read more

Vegan pasta dish was phenomenal! The veggies and pasta were cooked perfectly. The hot rolls and dipping oil are to die for. Bruschetta was delicious. Nathan was our server and he provided impeccable service- he was very attentive and gave great recommendations. We had an amazing dinner and highly recommend this place. Outside seating was beautiful on a September day. We were directly next to band and it was perfect volume and great music. The ambiance here is stunning. I loved the greenery everywhere that gives the feeling of eating in a meadow. A wedding would be amazing here -the scenery is gorgeous- service is wonderful - and food is phenomenal. This morning we finished our dessert that was a - I don't know -chocolate ganache brownie volcano situation and it was heaven!! read more

DiSalvo's - Vegan - Italian Near Me - Williamsport, Pennsylvania

We are visitors to Williamsport twice a month, and tried this restaurant on our last visit. Very inviting from the outside. The inside immediately seemed upscale. Despite needing reservations, they had a cancellation and we got a seat. The dining room was small and adjacent to a bar, which was loud, separated by double French doors. We asked them to close the doors, and they did. But a loud party came in and made that moot. Classy atmosphere. Expensive pricing. Wait staff was - meh. They gave us bread, but doled it out with just a small roll each. Didn't offer butter, but brought over an oil mixture instead. I liked the oil mixture, but my dinner partner did not. The bread came from a giant bowl of rolls, that the wait staff gave you. But never offered more than one. The waiter never came back to check on us. I ordered the grouper with rice. It wasn't bad, but wasn't worth the money either. My dinner partner ordered the margherita pizza, and not only didn't like it, didn't eat hardly any of it. And, he didn't take the leftover. I tried it, it was too doughy with little flavor. Overall, this was a big disappointment. If the dining room was quieter, it may have been a more enjoyable experience. But expensive food, and loud atmosphere made it so we couldn't wait to leave. We were so in-impressed by the wait staff, we only left a $5 tip. Not worth the money. read more

Great food, Great service, best place in town for steaks, pasta and fish specials are always top notch! Our go too!

I can't say enough about this restaurant. It had rained up to the moment we arrived. Marisa knew we had our hearts set on eating out in the lovely courtyard so as soon as the rain stopped she had her crew brooming out water that had collected near our table. the food and service was excellent and the courtyard was lit to perfection with soft music piped. couldn't ask for more! read more

Reserved a table in the basement with a view of the kitchen. It was an experience. Food was amazing. Asked for the waiters recommendations on every course and he delivered. Caeser salad, lamb with smoke asparagus, and tiramisu were all the best I've ever had. read more

Pretty difficult to find better food in town. This place is amazing. Staff is on point. Service is great.

Long, long lines. Major wait! BUT WORTH IT. Great service (once you are in) and the food is like your Grandmother cooked it for you. Go ahead, order any breakfast item and then sit back and enjoy! Great view of the boats also. read more

Excellent food- appetizers and dinner was fantastic! We had Jason as our waiter and he was great! Would definitely recommend this place for anyone in the area for great food and drinks. read more

Ambiance, had a very bad experience in the basement (1st floor) venue a year or so back as the host of a Family gathering. I still cringe at the restaurants name. I may give them another chance since one of my guests gave me a gift card as thanks. Otherwise, probably never. My meal! was average. Service was great read more

Always have had great service and delicious food here! The atmosphere inside is perfect too!

The food was okay. Pizza always comes out very dark on the bottom. Steve DiSalvo treats his servers like trash! They'll be waiting on a table, he calls their name and he expects then to respond immediately. When he goes to the servers table, he yells and puts them down loud enough for the whole restaurant hears and gets quiet. I got a second glass of iced tea. I felt if I didn't drink it all, he'd come and yell at me. Makes for a very unhealthy work environment and a stomach wrenching place to eat at. read more

Honestly can't say enough positive things about DiSalvo's Restaurant. We recently hosted a 90th Birthday Party for my grandmother in a private space at the restaurant. From the very beginning, Chef Vince, and Marisa, were very accommodating in planning for this special occasion...from the curated menu to day-of set up, no stone was left unturned. Our guests were first-class treated with dedicated service staff to the point we felt we were the only ones dining that night. It's not often we get to celebrate this kind of milestone, but we'll be sure to come back for many others. Thank you, DiSalvo Family, for making such a memorable experience this special. read more

My girlfriend came for a visit out of town, I was looking for a decent luxury place for me and my girlfriend to enjoy her stay here. Unfortunately our experience here wasn't so great. My girlfriend has eaten in very nice restaurants and loves seafoods especially. She ordered the pasta, I ordered the lamb chops those were very nice!. She saw some decent delicious foods to try that was on the images in yelp and requested to have that but they server said "it's special" and that they didn't have it. I figured it's alright I guess we can have something else and most of the pictures they showed wasn't on the menu because it wasn't on the menu. I didn't think nothing of it to dress for "luxury place to eat". I just went dressed as myself, but the worst part is we ordered clams and when it came out the clams look unappetizing and the lemon looked dry and old which was a give away that the food wasn't fresh. I told the server please take it away. My girlfriend was disgusted. I was embarrassed because I thought it would've been delicious to begin with. The server got upset and I think manager came over and stared me down because we were served what look to have been spoiled food. Server didn't pay much attention, and was avoiding us. I was concerned more of our safety for being served not fresh food. We could've ended up with food poisoning. We are not bad people, to have been served that way. My girlfriend paid for the meal but she asked me to pick how much I want to tip, I'm a nice guy even though the service was horrible and the food was horrible I just gave 20$ because I felt bad. read more

An excellent spot in Williamsport, definitely a contender for the title of best restaurant in town. It's especially nice in the summer as they have a great patio for outdoor seating (as well as a newer wine bar). I'd say always a good idea to make reservations as they get pretty busy. You can't really go wrong with any of the food here, including the bread they give you with the parmesan and olive oil for dipping. We had the Broccoletti ala Panna to start which was delicious, perfectly done. The salmon I had was fantastic, just tasted very light and fresh but at the same time definitely filling. Service is great. Prices are perhaps a little on the higher side especially for the area but honestly you will feel it is worth it. Would absolutely recommend checking this place out. read more

It's a pretty restaurant, but was ruined by a lousy waiter and some inconsistencies in the food. We had a beautiful evening to dine outside which was lovely, but it stopped there. The waiter could not be bothered with us and never checked on us. My appetizer was octopus which except for the thinnest piece was not edible. I could not chew the piece and showed the waiter. He did not offer to replace or even apologize. They need to do a better job all around. read more

Food is great but the owner is completely bullish. Do not attempt to address any issue with the food or service. She will lash out in a blimd rage, no hyperbole, and berate customers without compunction. Avoid her and you'll enjoy what this place offers. read more

The pasta here is incredible!! Loved the selection & definitely recommending it to any friends looking for a higher-scale location. Pasta dish, wine, and dessert cost around $40 per person. The seafood is a MUST and creme brûlée is light enough to eat after a large meal. Yum, yum, yum!! read more

We usually love, love, love DiSalvo's. This time, not so much. Red beet salad tasted like stale oil. A few crumbs of goat cheese in it would have been nice. My PORK SCHNITZEL was VERY DRY and came with VERY DRY gnocchi. When asked for some sauce, I was told that's just how it comes. Taking these two dry shoe soles home to see if I can make them edible. Not cool. Our bill was 160.+. If you want to call it fine dining, then provide FINE DINING. read more

What an amazing establishment! From the ambiance, to the food, to the warm welcoming you receive when you arrive. This was our first trip to Williamsport, our child attends Bucknell University and we were out of luck booking a hotel in Lewisburg, so to Williamsport we went! Our daughter looked up "best Italian restaurants in Williamsport"...and OMG! This place checked all the boxes! Our daughter will be in college for the next 4 years and we absolutely will continue to make this a staple for all our visits! After we finished our delicious meal (the first night we went to the restaurant) we went to the bar to have a nightcap and we were blessed to meet the family who owns the restaurant. What a wonderful, welcoming family. We 100000% recommend this place. Good people, homemade pastas, fresh seafood, to incredible music while sitting outside...we couldn't ask for more. read more

DiSalvo's - Italian Near Me - Williamsport, Pennsylvania

Last night my family of six went to celebrate our mom's 91st birthday. We ordered drinks and appetizers before our meal. Three of the party ordered short ribs, one of the specials for the night. Ribs, cooked properly should be so tender the meat falls off the bone. These were severely undercooked and so tough you couldn't even cut through the meat with a steak knife. This was mentioned to our waiter who was going to talk to the chef. No one came to talk to us or ask if something could be done. My 91 year old mother couldn't eat a bite. I shared my ravioli which was very good. This was our third time in a row my family had a bad experience there. We will not be returning. read more
