I opted for the Seafood Risotto ($30), which was part of a special item during the Happy Valley Restaurant Week. The risotto was beautifully plated with a good variety of seafood. The pieces are a bit small and the risotto could be creamier, but still delicious overall. I also tried a slice of The Meat Lover Pizza ($16), which was loaded with toppings. The only thing was that the toppings were under the cheese, so it got a bit messy as the cheese didn't hold onto the pizza. It was still great as leftovers though with a doughy crust. Overall, great portions and variety that's worth your money. All the food we had was good from the salad to pizza to risotto to pasta.

My companion and I enjoyed a nice dinner with friends at the Blonde Bistro. The restaurant's…read moreaddress is Bellefonte PA but it's well out of "downtown" Bellefonte and really closer to Zion PA. Blonde Bistro specializes in pasta and Italian dishes as well as nanobrewing. Portions are HUGE as you can seen in my photo of a deep bowl. I enjoyed Big Springs Vidka pasta, which had a bit of zip thanks to a nice dose of cayenne. My companion ordered Alfredo pasta, and was a bit disappointed with the sauce--leaned more toward cream instead of a better balance of cream and cheeae. I also tried a flight of Blonde Bistro's in-house beers, which were decent but not spectacular. That's consistent with my experience at other nanobreweries; various beer styles can be hit or miss. Their kolsch was a standout and a good choice for non-craft beer drinkers. Service was attentive, but a little overwhelmed during our visit. In addition to our party of four, there were three parties of six or more while we were there. Blonde Bistro is a small spot so that's a lot to handle. Overall it was a good experience and my companion has had multiple other very good visits--hence four stars despite the bumps I noted above.

Be aware that they may get busy during the peak hours over weekends. The menu offering contains a wide range of classic Italian dishes. Portions were large, and pricing is reasonable.

Overall, a good place to enjoy classic Italian cuisine!

Quickly seated and our waitress was then very attentive and food also came out timely. We shared a pizza and chicken parm with egg fettuccine noodles. They definitely cook their pasta al dente, it was a nice chew vs being soft and mushy. Chicken was cooked perfectly. Pizza was tasty with some of the best crust, light and airy. Nice inside with booths, tables and fun pizza decorations.

Tiramisu is one of my favorite Italian desserts too, and Ciro's has the best kind! My boyfriend loves their calamari & shrimp. It's always a pleasant time coming here and everyone is so nice! It's one of the best quality restaurants in town and very clean.

I was in town visiting family when we swung by the Red Horse Tavern for dinner. A quaint spot with…read morea classic look the Horse has friendly staff and a parking area that is easy to get in and out of. The recent menu has a great diversity of options ranging from salads, sandwiches, and entrees. I elected to go with the Birra ramen, not something I would expect to find at this establishment or in this neck of the woods. I was knocked back at how good it was. The broth had rich flavor and the right amount of spice, not enough to burn your mouth, but warm it up and tingle your lips. The beef was tender and cooked to perfection. It hit the spot on a chilly winter night. If you find yourself in the gap and looking for spot to grab a good hearty bite to eat and drink, the Red Horse is your spot!

It's small inside, but has a few large tables. They only accept reservations for 10 or more so it's first come first serve. The portions are large and the food tastes fresh.

Remember to specify your pasta or you'll get angel hair (I always forget). My wife is italian and the red sauce is just too sweet and sugary for her -- I tend to agree but I still enjoy my dish. They offer various lunch sandwiches which are great. The restaurant is near the courthouse in a residential area on a hillside. There's plenty of street parking but access may be tricky for older or ADA visitors. The interior is small, dated and generally packed with locals. They do accomodate large parties but I'd plan ahead. Pricing isn't bad (typically $15-$18/ea) and you'll leave full.
