Old world recipes to trendy dishes
Williamsport has some exceptional restaurants partly because of the family oriented nature of the region, partly because of the longevity of it's residents, but believe it is mostly because of the care taken to their work and ethics of it's people.
Driven by generations old recipes many Williamsport restaurants offer dishes served by great, great-great, and even great-great-great grandparents. The ingredients aren't the only things passed down, you can actually taste the love that goes into each dish.
