Finelli's Italian Villa

I went to Finelli’s with my girlfriend for a nice Valentine’s dinner and was excited for a second visit. We were seated quickly, and our server, Brittany, was polite and professional. We ordered the bruschetta, which was good, and then we both had Caesar salads—some of the best Caesar salad I’ve had. For our main course, my girlfriend had the Amaretto Chicken with peaches, and I ordered the Veal Marsala. The Amaretto Chicken was great and had a refreshing flavor paired with the peaches. The Veal Marsala, on the other hand, was terrible. The veal was overcooked and bland, and the mushrooms were lukewarm and mushy. The dish tasted only of alcohol and wine and had no redeeming qualities. I can’t remember the last time I returned a dish, but I returned this one. I understand that Marsala sau

Enjoyable first time visit on a December Monday night opening. Brittany was a friendly, capable server who provided helpful advice on entree selection. We enjoyed the entire meal. First was bread plus a complimentary and delicious Caprese salad bites appetizer (fresh tomatoes, mozzarella balls, basil, olive oil, and balsamic glaze). Next, a fresh and large house salad with choice of dressings followed by our chosen entrees: Grilled Pork Porterhouse and Boozy Cranberry Chicken. They were accompanied by a side selection of either spaghetti with pasta or baby potatoes and vegetable of the day.

What a great find. Very nice staff and excellent food! We were very happy with everything. They even give all tables a complementary tomato, mozzarella and olive salad. We had the eggplant parm, filet with crabmeat and chicken with vodka sauce and all dishes were great. Highly recommend but it's a small place so make reservations. Street parking only.

A wonderful dining experience and the food was amazing!

Finelli’s has been a staple in Altoona for many years. I came here for proms and even brought my college boyfriend here to treat him to some of the best of Altoona! I noticed the other reviews commenting on the looks of fine dining & yes we do it differently in altoona but that’s why it’s beloved. The chicken parm was top notch and the desserts are all homemade. It’s special and held in time for a reason. I’d still highly recommend.
