The spicy foods were actually spicy, and the falafel was fresh and not dry. Definitely my quick go-to salad/ fresh bowl place for now. It is cold and cafeteria-style. Great option for state college. 4/5 Ambiance: modern/ industrial fast casual looking interior- tile-like wall is pretty, as are the jars of pickled vegetables and the cage lattices separating the dining high tables. Overall a clean feel and not too sterile feeling, though it may be on the border of being a bit too-bare-bones. This is the kind of place I could see bringing someone from out of town to. Music was really loud, as seems to be the style at these kinds of places, which could make quality conversations hard to do. 4/5 Service: Service was good. I ordered three bowls and they were served promptly. It didn't seem like anything special to make the dish, the server was literally looking at the recipe on the receipt and putting scoops of each into the bowl, which makes sense, especially for custom made bowls. This destroyed all imaginations of a chef custom making a dish to be tailored to the seasons, etc but the food was still tasty.

There's a good selection of meats available, and the toppings were varied too. The employees that work here seem nice too, not sure what the other reviewers are referring to. I'd definitely come again if I'm ever in State College again.

Well, after ordering it, I can calmly say that I'd rather pay the time and money to just go downtown and get one from somewhere else. The rice was dry. All of the greenery had an odd brownish tinge to it. Barely any meat. Granted, I scarfed down the meat and white sauce anyway and it didn't kill me, so I'll give it a star for that much. But for $12? I'll go somewhere else.

Imagine my excitement when I saw things like Shawerma and Kefta Kebab sandwiches! I've only gone once (for lunch today), but plan many return visits. Middle Eastern food was one of the things I missed most when I moved to State College from Michigan mid-2010. Now I've got THREE options. Papa Pita also offers numerous other sub-sandwiches, to go along with the falafel and shish kebab and other things. I ordered the Kefta Kebab Pita, and it was glorious. Kefta Kebab is ground lamb, mixed with spices, parsley and onion. The pita had lettuce, onion, tomato, and tahini (sesame) sauce. A bit messy, but quite good. Check this place out ASAP and don't let it go to waste!

Our guests had previously declared Flour & Stone one of their favorite restaurants. We were greeted cordially and seated at a small table near a hallway. During the course of the evening, we did feel an occasional draft of cool air-perhaps from the opening of an exterior door. The ambiance of the restaurant's interior is intimate, due partly to the low ceilings in our dining space. Our server brought menus and returned before long to take our drink orders. We ordered a limonata, a glass of Cantina castiadas vermentino, a Negroni, and the Fall Monty. Everyone enjoyed their libations; we shared one appetizer, the meatballs with ricotta. The sauce and meatballs were under seasoned, a bit on the bland side, and I would have preferred of touch of heat. For the entrées, we chose pork belly, lamb pappardelle, short rib gnocchi, and autumn ravioli. All the dishes were pleasing to the eye. My wife was very pleased with her ravioli; she raved about the sauce. Unfortunately, she didn't save me a drop of sauce. My pork belly consisted of a large square of pork, tender and well cooked, but on the boring side of flavor. Part of my problem was the expectation for porchetta on the menu--a dish they only prepare occasionally. The portions at Flour & Stone are perfect--no leftovers across the board. The ambience is relaxing and the staff are friendly. We're grateful to F & S for offering some rustic Italian pasta dishes, as well eclectic offerings such as rabbit, paella, Moroccan steak, and vegetarian choices. While I highly recommend Flour & Stone, I longed for more flavor and spice!
