Carini Restaurant, Waterford Pa.

I've driven thru Waterford Pa hundreds of times over the years but never stopped at Carini's.  This restaurant is right in the middle of town, easy to find and with plenty of free parking.  The decor is dinor style (NW Pa spelling!), but very clean and comfortable.  It's the kind of place that has advertisements on the place mats.  The menu consists of a nice selection of subs, salads, Italian entrees and a nice choice of lunch specials.  I also noticed the chef hand tossing pizza dough, although we didn't get the chance to try any.

I went with the Spaghetti Bread Bowl which is served with a tossed salad for $7.35.  Stacy went for a dinner entree of Chicken Parmesan which came with pasta and also a tossed salad ($10.45).  The salads were typical iceberg, but very fresh and crunchy.  My spaghetti was very good and the sauce was exceptional.  The portions were fairly large and a nice value for good quality, fresh food.

This is a very nice local restaurant with friendly service and good food, which is sometimes difficult to find in the backwoods of Pennsylvania.  I'm sure we will return.

Carini Restaurant is located at 118 High St in the center of Waterford Pa.

Sugar and Spice, Waterford PA

Sugar and Spice is a little restaurant in the Northwest PA town of Waterford. Although I have not been there for several years I was in the area last week and decided to stop for lunch.  It was just as good as I remembered.  The food is advertised as Amish home style.  I remembered seeing the fish sandwich on a previous visit.  I also remember that it was huge, so Stacy and I decided to split one. As you can see, it was big!  The fish was probably two feet long!!!  Pretty good too.  I can't wait to go back and try some of the more Amish style food.
