El Patio Dominican Restaurant - (Near Harrisburg, PA)

Jamie We stumbled upon this restaurant while walking through Philadelphia one evening, and it turned out to be a true hidden gem. I’m surprised I hadn’t heard of it before, especially since I go out in Philly often. The vibe was fantastic, and the cocktails were outstanding. I can’t speak to the food yet—we had dinner reservations up the street and only stopped in for drinks—but I’m definitely coming back to enjoy the full experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, the restroom was spotless, and overall it was a 10/10 experience.

George Camacho I recently had the pleasure of dining at Trattoria Fratelli, and I can confidently say it was an experience to remember. This restaurant truly lives up to its reputation as one of the best Italian spots in Lebanon. It’s no wonder it ranks so high on local guides and traveler reviews; it completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I stepped inside, I was enveloped in a warm, inviting atmosphere. The genuine smiles from the staff made me feel right at home. Their knowledge of the menu, which changes with the seasons, made it easy to navigate through the delightful offerings while showcasing authentic Italian flavors. We kicked off our meal with their artisan wood-oven pizza, and let me tell you — it was exceptional! The crust struck the perfect balance of being crisp yet light, and the fresh, balanced toppings were a delight. Honestly, that pizza was a masterpiece in itself! Next came the salad, which was simple yet stunning. The combination of fresh greens and high-quality dressing turned a typical dish into something luxurious. The sharp, bright vinaigrette caught my attention in the best way possible. For our main course, every dish we tried was superb. The pasta stood out with its rich flavors, perfectly cooked noodles, and creative combinations that left a lasting impression. The seasonal specials, particularly the seafood and meat dishes, clearly demonstrate the chef’s expertise and passion for cooking. The service was just as remarkable as the food. Our server was attentive and sincere, offering thoughtful recommendations that showed real passion for what they do. It’s easy to see why others rave about staff members like Judith; they provide a warm touch that enhances the dining experience. Chef and the owners have crafted a menu that feels both classic and refreshingly innovative, bringing together fresh seasonal ingredients in memorable and tasty ways. To cap off the meal, we indulged in dessert, which was the perfect conclusion — rich and satisfying, showcasing the kitchens skill. The wine list and cocktails complemented our meal beautifully, adding another layer of enjoyment. Trattoria Fratelli deserves all the praise it receives for its quality food, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it ideal for both date nights and special occasions. This restaurant truly elevates Italian dining to new heights. Based on my wonderful experience, I’m already looking forward to my next visit, and I wholeheartedly encourage anyone in the area to discover this hidden gem!

Miss Val We came here for a birthday dinner on Friday evening in May. We called ahead to reserve a table for 3. When we arrived we were taken to our table immediately with no wait. Our server took our drink orders and told us the specials for that day which all sounded good. It was hard to choose what to eat so we shared a few appetizers and two entrees between the three of us. We also shared dessert. Our drinks were very good. The food was delicious. Our server, I think her name was Alex, was outstanding. She was personable and attentive and made sure our birthday celebration was top notch. The atmosphere was casual but elegant at the same time. The menu, including cocktails, is flavorful and unique. Prices were reasonable. We had a great time and would for sure come here again.

Brandon Nolte Overall, this place is a smash. The Salatim was outstanding. Bright, fresh, and packed with flavor across the board. Standouts were the cabbage, pumpkin, cauliflower, and beets, though honestly I could order just this and be happy. They handled gluten free thoughtfully and even brought sliced radish and cucumbers with sumac for the hummus. For mezze, the halloumi was rich and sweet, but the crudo stole the show. Bright, punchy, and beautifully balanced with blood orange, harissa, and crispy red lentils. Easily my favorite dish. The lamb Mesibah was good paired with the vegetable stew, though I wished the lamb was a bit fattier. Pickled elements were excellent. Desserts were solid but not the main draw. The chocolate pudding was bitter and tart with cherry jam and mint, and the pecan-style dessert leaned more salted caramel than expected, though the honey ice cream was nice. I would absolutely come back, order à la carte, and get the crudo and Salatim again without hesitation.

Sarah Landis Barely ever do reviews but this place deserved one. We drove over an hour to try out this restaurant. We absolutely loved it and will definitely go again! Food was amazing and tasted very fresh. Service was amazing. Very cute inside sitting under the vines and lights. We went for Valentines and it was perfect and very romantic!
