Maria was working by herself, cooking, serving, seating, cleaning and I don’t know how she did it. The food was fantastic especially the garlic cheese bread and the chicken parm. We would come again if we were in town for any reason. The folks there were very warm and welcoming.

Superb. We were blessed to rent it out on a day they were normally closed to have a private sitting. Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived. Maria and her staff that night, April, made a fabulous lifelong memory.

If I could give more stars, I would. Last night, we stopped in close to their close time. We had family from out of town to celebrate our sons birthday and our daughters middle school play. Things got later than we thought for dinner and thankfully Mama Lucretia’s was open. When we walked in, they had enough work already that they probably were going to get out of work late as it was. But when we opened their door, they smiled and warmly invited us in. And even though it was late, they made an amazing dinner for us. The food was incredible. And the server we had went all out to give us a good experience even amongst chaos. We do not normally show up closer to close time for restaurants. But this was sort of an unusual circumstance. They truly knocked it out of the park and I encourage everyone who loves authentic Italian cuisine to check them out. They are a gem here in Bellefonte. Never had a meal here that I didn’t absolutely love!

This is a hidden gem, with good food and a nice server. They were very busy and a bit short-staffed, but that didn't seem to faze the server she hustled and did her best to keep everyone happy, with a smile on her face, even though the food took longer than normal to come out.

When we first walked in, we were a little uncertain as it was completely empty. But the place filled up quickly letting us know this was a great place. We are pretty sure the waitress was also the cook, but she did a great job of balancing everything. We saw no one else working. The food was amazing- really surprising giving the fact we only saw the cook working. I had the chicken parm and the other dish was a seafood vodka- and as you can see we cleaned out plates. Definitely exceeded expectations. A must try when in town!

Delicious Italian food that will make you smile! They use fresh ingredients to make every dish special. One of the best things on the menu is the Margherita pizza; it’s super tasty and loved by everyone. The place has a warm and friendly atmosphere where you feel happy to be. The service is excellent, and the staff are very nice. You will definitely enjoy your meal here!

Our server was hustling!! The food here was amazing. Authentic Italian pizza with a divine thin and crispy crust. The vodka sauce was the best we’ve ever tasted. And the tiramisu???? So delicious!
