I'm looking for input on everyone's favorite Central Pennsylvania restaurants. Anything from Huntington to Williamsport, Dubois to Lewistown. I'll start this one off with a great Italian joint in Altoona, Lena's Cafe. This is a family run restaurant with much of the menu made from scratch. It's been a few years since I've been there, but I wouldn't even think of visiting Central PA with out having at least one meal at Lena's. I don't think Lena is still with us, but she was back in that kitchen for many years. I recommend the homemade noodles and just get the italian dressing on your side salad. Make sure you ask for the fresh grated romano. And never pass on the homemade deserts. I like all of their pies apple, pecan, coconut cream. This is a small place with a short bar attached to the restaurant. Nothing fancy. Paper placemats with the map of Italy. Some posters of peppers and tomatoes on the walls. Tons of charm from the staff. Watch out for Louie. I'll call him the matre d'. He'll come by your table and charm you with his dry, comedic comments and sincere inquiry about the quality of your dinner. Don't expect him to crack a smile either.
