This is a slice of a true Italian eatery!! The owner Angelo and his staff prepare each meal with heart and love. The menu is small for this very reason. I almost don't want to write this review as I want to keep this eatery on the down low. The atmosphere is inviting, modern and the music only adds to this experience. CIAO!!

Best restaurant in the area-you will feel like you are fine dining in the big city (DC, NYC) The food is perfection, list includes broad options for all, bar has top notch choices too. We walked in by luck but you might need a reservation. Chef/Owner checked on all his guests -delightful evening. (And bought other homemade items for my freezer, too, in the shopping area after dinner!)

Great place in the heart of Kittanning. I did my best to save room for dessert, hoping for Canolli or something chocolate. The only 2 offerings were Lemon Merangue Pie and Burnt Almond Torte which we didn't try. The pasta was delicious. The halibut and the lamb chops got high praise from my dining companions.

The fried cheese was amazing. The service and atmosphere is clean and modern. This was a fantastic lunch and I definitely go back again.

This was the Fried Mozzarella with a butter lemon sauce appetizer and it was delicious! One of the best fried Mozzarella I've had and I was skeptical of pairing it with a butter lemon sauce, I've only had it with marinara... I was wrong, it was better than eating it with marinara! I also had the Fettuccine Alfredo and it was one of the best I've had! This restaurant is now one of our favorites and we will be repeat customers!

Truly a pleasant surprise! The Gnocchi and Mushroom Cream were fantastic! Staff was wonderful. Sweets! It was hard to choose just 1 so we bought 5! Looking forward to stopping here again. Bravo!

Best chocolate chip cookies I have ever had and I am a connoisseur. ;) My husband and I stopped by this morning to try several baked goods. I’m extremely impressed with all three items we tried. We will be back many times and look forward to meals there as well. The staff we spoke to was very kind and enthusiastic about the business.

My second visit this year and just as good as the first! We four shared a well-varied antipasto plate as well as fried zucchini and then lunched on the tortellini with creamy Gorgonzola sauce, the chicken Parmesan and sandwiches. Check their website or instagram @amanoeatery250 for current menu!Everyone here aims to make your visit a filling and satisfying one! Bakery is open Tuesday—Saturday; come for lunch Tuesday—Friday and make plans soon for dinner Thursday—Saturday. At my visit in April, we three shared a bowl of delectable soup and an amazing pasta bolognese so that we could save room for the amazing desserts and coffee! We will be back!
