    Kid portion Ravioli with meatball.
    Michael B.

    My wife and I were staying in Gettysburg and wanted some good Italian food for dinner. Saw the glowing reviews for Buon Appetito and decided to make the drive over for a late Sunday dinner. I saw reviews by Jenna and others suggesting the atmosphere needed some updating. The exterior is not what you'd expect. It is a little dark inside and could use sprucing up in areas. However, I'd still call it fine dining. It has a huge dining room (and a new patio) with white linens under glass tops. It was not busy when we were there and Tony the owner and chef was also our server. He was very friendly and attentive and gave great advice on food selections. The mozz sticks were creamy. Marinara was bold and flavorful. I had the cannelloni and wife had meat ravioli with a meatball. Flavors were great. The pasta was fresh, cooked perfectly and had just the right amount of chew to it. We were very happy we made the drive.

    I went here with my family, group of 4, for my birthday dinner. It was our first time dining here. I had made a reservation for 6 for 5pm on a Sunday, when a reservation wasn't even necessary due to being the 4th diner in the restaurant. The restaurant isn't what you would expect for fine dining. It was very old looking and outdated. It was very dark inside and was kinda depressing. My fiancé said he felt like he was at a funeral. My mother in law made a few comments about the lack of light. Despite this, service was very good despite it only being one guy (I think the only other worker was the chef?). He even brought over a cannoli for my birthday. I was particularly excited to have the Penne Smirnoff, and to look at the wine cocktail list. They had a separate menu for liquor cocktails and wine cocktails, which is very nice for someone who's picky like me. I got a sparkling wine mixed with cranberry juice, I forget what it was called. The group all seemed to be happy with the menu, there were plenty of options so everyone could find something. Everyone seemed happy with their meal. I loved the penne vodka, but was not a huge fan of the plentiful sun dried tomatoes in it. There were at least 3 spoonfuls left of tomato and sauce mixture left, and all pasta gone. My father in law also said that he ran out of spaghetti before he did sauce, so he still had a bowl left full of sauce. Besides it, the experience was good and we all left happy and full. We all thought it was very good and the quality was good. I definitely enjoyed dining here for my birthday.

    Food was amazing Excellent service Relax classic Italian music softly in the background

    Roasted vegetables

    Excellent place for a delicious meal. This was my first time eating here and I intend to come back. Nested in an unassuming spot. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Service is excellent. They have a lot on the menu. I plan to try their locally brewed beer next time I'm there.

    We stayed after closing but didn't feel rushed

    Truly authentic italian food and I'm strongly considering the 1.5 hour drive may be worth it to return. Plenty of vegetarian options that are sure to please even the pickier eater and they will customize an item on the menu if you have dietary restrictions. My wife was happy with the vegetable napoleon and I loved the jack daniels cheese tortellini with sausage (substituted chicken instead of sausage). Tony, the owner, came out to check on us and make sure everything was delicious. I responded with this is the first time I've had really great tortellini. None has come close to how good this was. There pick 4 beer flight was a great addition to our meal and they brew everything in house. We had the oatmeal stout, the pilsner, the kolsch, and pumpkin stout. The pumpkin stout was good but was more sour/tangy for my taste but perfect for my wife. Grilled cheese was on point for the kiddo! No sliced kraft cheese here and if you want to substitute steamed broccoli for the french fries you can. Buon Appetite truly is about making sure everybody is satisfied! From customer service, to options, to customization, to taste, the place is perfect.

    I just ate at Sign of the Horse Brewery & Restaurant, and I have to say, it was fantastic. I…read morehonestly did not even know this place existed, but I am glad I found it. The food was outstanding, the drinks were excellent, and they had a huge menu with plenty of food and drink options to choose from. Everything about the experience was impressive, from the quality of the meal to the overall atmosphere. This is definitely a place I would highly recommend to anyone looking for great food, great drinks, and a solid local spot to check out. I will absolutely be going back.

    I was really disappointed by the new Sign of the Horse location in Hanover. The original space was…read morecozy and welcoming; this new one feels cold, generic, and poorly thought out--honestly more like the Eagles than a place with any personality. And if I wanted that unimaginative vibe, I'd just go to the Eagles. We sat in a booth, but the bar area looked far more inviting--as long as you're facing forward and ignoring the afterthought that is the rest of the seating. The layout just doesn't work. I also didn't see any of the familiar faces from the original location, which was discouraging and made the place feel even less like the Sign of the Horse I remembered. When you walk in, if anyone is at the host stand, they grab a carafe of water from a cooler and lead you to your table... but no glasses. Are customers supposed to pass the carafe around communally? It was awkward and off-putting. The food was fine, but nothing special--and certainly not good enough to make up for the atmosphere. Overall, this move stripped away everything that made the place enjoyable. I won't be back.
