" Visiting Finelli's for the first time was a true culinary delight! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff treated us like family. I ordered the crab supreme, and it was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The portions were generous, and we couldn't resist trying the dessert tray. The almond cake was homemade and absolutely divine. I’m already planning my next visit to explore more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very disappointing visit. Although the restaurant's atmosphere was charming, the service was slow. My entrée was bland and caught me completely off-guard after the good reviews I read. It just didn't have the homemade quality I was hoping for. I still appreciated the ambiance, but I won't be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Finelli's was mixed. The atmosphere is lovely, very quaint and cozy. However, I was slightly disappointed with my main course; the lasagna was tasty but not as authentic as I expected. It felt a bit commercialized. The staff were friendly, though, which definitely made our evening more enjoyable. If you're looking for a lovely evening out, this place fits the bill - just be cautious about your dish choices! " (*Curated Review*)

" After reading so many good reviews, we were excited to try Finelli's. The decor has a warm, inviting feel, reminiscent of a small family-run eatery in Italy. Our food was delicious; I had the seafood linguine which was fresh and perfectly seasoned. My husband loved the steak, but thought his portion could have been a bit larger. Despite that minor issue, the overall experience was fantastic, and we will definitely be returning to sample more of their offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finelli's is an absolute gem! My family and I celebrated my birthday there last week, and it was perfect! The staff went out of their way to make it a special evening, with the owner even coming over to check on us. I had the veal marsala which was succulent and rich in flavor. We also indulged in various desserts, all made in-house. The only downside was the slight wait time for our food, but it was worth it given the delightful cuisine. I highly recommend visiting!

" We were surprised to find such authentic Italian cuisine in Altoona. The service exceeded our expectations. Only complaints: a slightly long wait for food and a busy atmosphere. However, the flavors made waiting worth it. I commend the chefs for their attention to detail. We will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was our first time at Finelli’s, and we instantly fell in love! The ambiance was warm and inviting. We started with the calamari, and it melted in our mouths! For the main course, I had the seafood risotto which was flavorful and portioned just right. I also cannot emphasize enough how wonderful the service was. Everything about our visit felt personal. Will surely be back! " (*Curated Review*)
