1. Luca
Burning Love: Luca
On a Thursday night in October, tucked under hundred-year old trees lining the city sidewalks and majestic Colonial homes towering across the street, a bustling neighborhood bar patio under string lights is full of Lancastrians, gathered casually for a bite to eat, a cocktail or reunions with friends. The garage-style doors are open from the patio leading into the restaurant, which is also full, leading back to the kitchen where, like moths to a flame, locals keep coming back for more tastes of chef Taylor Mason’s honest to goodness talent. He’s the best chef Lancaster has had in years.
Lancaster’s Hot Spot
With recent mentions and buzz from Elle Décor and The New York Post dubbing Lancaster the new Brooklyn and likening the hip small city to Portland, Mason is not surprised. “We all knew Lancaster has been poised for this for a long time.” He notes, “One of the challenges of a smaller market like this is having the gumption to be committed to something specifically and saying this is what we’re interested in—what we believe in.” He adds, “We’ll never be everything for everyone, [but] we’re really excited about our perspective.”
Apparently so is everyone else. From couples of all ages to hip young families with children to girlfriends gathering, the bar is packed on a Friday night and sometimes there’s a wait on a Wednesday. Luca’s perspective is simple: “farm-driven rustic Italian food based on tradition.” Fall’s focus was earthy forest flavors like wild game; winter brings food from further north in Italy like polenta and rich hearty tones. He explains, “It wouldn’t make sense for me to cook southern Italian food [fresh vegetables and seafood] all year. A Caprese salad would be a shadow of itself in February.” But it’s more than that: “I wanted to rewrite the script on what a casual restaurant can be,” states Mason. “People just got used to casual restaurants not being stylish and fun.” Luca nailed it. In fact, they nailed all four pillars Mason is focused on: ambience and décor, food program, beverage program and hospitality.
Luca has culled some of the best talent in Lancaster’s hospitality industry—from beverage director Steve Wood, who was known for his creations behind the bar at The Lancaster Arts Hotel, to Daniella Ward, the chef who opened Fenz and took a new role here as a front of house manager. Beloved waiters Joe Hess and Thomas Taylor among others add familiar faces and seasoned experience to a new place.
Turn of events
Six years ago, Taylor and his wife LeeAnn relocated from Napa to open their first restaurant, Ma(i)son, an urban cookery on Prince Street’s Gallery Row, which got refreshed with a makeover and reopened in October (maisonlancaster.com). It was an unexpected venture that developed during a family visit when family friends presented a restaurant for sale that would be perfect for the couple, who were actually planning to take some time to travel. Instead they launched what would become one of Lancaster’s best restaurants, making our Silver Spoon Awards list. The difference is Ma(i)son is small, caters to a very niche clientele and is BYOB; it can’t live up to the glass-half-full potential seen by its oenophile owners educated in Napa and Italy.
When the commercial real estate market failed to produce the space they wanted for their second restaurant, Mason walked up to the door of the building he wanted, a 1940s former grocery store, and courted the owners—who did not use email or phones much—with weekly in-person visits for six months before they made the deal to sell. Fast forward to July when Luca opened, a perfect marriage of what is current and thriving in Lancaster city and the talents of a young, ambitious couple who spent many late nights “painstakingly designing the space,” with the Tono Group and the arrival of a second baby coinciding with the opening. The couple has two daughters now; however, Luca is the name Mason would have given a son, and, as it turns out, LeeAnn has a distant relative who was a shoemaker named Luca as well.
Blazing the trail
One of the aspects of the new restaurant Mason is most excited about is developing a wine culture, offering some obscure grapes and varieties from Italy. What Mason does best is tell the story of the food he creates, recreating customs and traditions of cheese makers in Italy who have been doing it the same way for generations. In fact, there are only two families in Naples who make the Neopolitan wood-burning pizza oven you’ll find at Luca, and they’ve been doing it since the 1800s. It was a six-month process to bring the 6,000-pound oven to the space. Mason claims, “Italian cuisine is my soul.” And it’s burning at Luca.

2. Gibraltar
The Sea of Suburbia: Gibraltar
Once an F&M neighborhood staple, Gibraltar moved to the burbs in June and has not looked back. When the college bought the building where the beloved restaurant had been for 18 years, it brought an opportunity to refresh a restaurant that was in need of a new look. “The move itself was kind of a blessing in disguise,” says assistant manager Steven Jennings, who describes the look as “night and day when it comes to décor.” The old Mediterranean blue-and-white tablecloths have been traded for an updated modern look throughout. The only thing that guests will recognize is the replicated mural map of the Mediterranean.
So far, the patrons continue to be loyalists of the sophisticated sort. You might rub elbows over lunch with business owners or philanthropist Ann Barshinger. The restaurant also hopes to attract a new crowd with their happy hour specials, particularly township locals who use Oregon Pike as an artery in and out of the burbs. Happy hour Monday through Saturday offers $2 off wine and $1 off drafts as well as $8 seasonal sangrias and $5 vodka, gin and rum drinks. Bar bites range from $4 to $8. The music is hip, and the bar is inviting.
“The way that culinary arts is moving is that everyone wants to get a little weird while staying true to what we do,” explains Jennings. He gets jazzed talking about their new smoked cocktails and one he’s creating with fennel liquor and pear; when the cloak lifts, smoke plumes, an artistic performance. They’re making their own vinegars known as shrubs for cocktails and offering non-alcoholic sodas like blackberry thyme. “We’ve tried to bridge the gap between the kitchen and the bar,” he adds.
While some favorite menu items have come from the former Gibraltar (chef Carl Vitale’s tuna tataki and all house made pastas like fettucine with lobster, as well as the raw bar) other offerings are more casual, like stepped up sandwiches at lunch (take the freshly shaved roast beef Panini with wild mushrooms, gruyere, arugula and garlic aioli).
A new township tradition Gibraltar hopes to start is their brunch. “Brunch was an institution,” says Jennings of Kansas City, which he recently left to come work at Gibraltar. So watch for a bloody Mary bar and seasonal bellinis with infusions like elderflower and cinnamon coming soon. Don’t miss the duck omelet made with duck eggs, confit and crispy skin, goat cheese and truffled home fries or Jennings’ personal fave, the salmon scramble with caviar.
New menus, new space, new look, new staff: “We are back and better than ever,” says Jennings.

3. Mulberry Social
Get Together: Mulberry Social
Three regulars walk in and order prosecco to go with the Thursday night oyster special. The bubbly keeps flowing. The music and staff are effervescent too, young and energetic, excited about what they’re doing.
Tara Welsh is part owner, and her sister is a server there too. She had worked at Gibraltar for about seven years as an assistant manager and bartender when she took part in this venture with Gibraltar chef Carl Vitale and the Keares group of restaurants. “We wanted to make it more like a welcoming neighborhood bar and restaurant where you can come in and get a burger or pizza or a three-course meal,” she explains, adding, “It’s still chef’s creations and inspirations; it’s [just] more of a casual approach here.”
In the space that was formerly the well-known neighborhood gem Checker’s Bistro, Mulberry Social opened last summer under its new name and look. One of the first things locals will notice is a spaciousness that came from ripping out layers and layers of drop ceilings and the stucco archways that encased the booths. The bar has been updated to an industrial-chic smooth concrete with on-trend pendant lighting.
“Craft cocktails are all original with our own twist on what’s trending,” Welsh notes, and many are named after Lancaster streets. Take the Lime Street, “a play on a gimlet,” she says, with Hendricks gin, pressed lime juice and a flamed sprig of rosemary with a woody rosemary dust. “It smells like Christmas,” comments a waitress passing by.
Alex D’Innocenzo, Carl Vitale’s young protégé at Mulberry Social, exudes fervor for his craft. He says he grew up in the kitchen, as his family owns Zia Maria in nearby Denver, PA. “I skipped culinary school and learned everything from Carl,” states D’Innocenzo. Cavatelli is his favorite thing to make, he says, because it has to be perfect. “You can get away with ravioli being 99 percent,” he jokes. His candied pumpkin ravioli with toasted hazelnut, autumn spiced brown butter and crispy sage, by the way, is 100 percent.
But the food is not all Italian, or is it just like the menu at Gibraltar (though there are a few signature Vitale flavors like the Asian tuna dish). “We embrace all facets of cuisine,” says D’Innocenzo who is looking forward to adding ramen (one of the hardest noodles to make) to the menu. He also wants to bring in more wild game like venison, antelope and squab this winter.
Keep an eye on this chef who says, “[In]everything I do, I try to excel at the finesse.” If you go, try one of the Friday or Saturday night specials. D’Innocenzo devotes up to three days of planning and prep to one dish.

4. Rockfish Public House
York’s Fresh Catch: Rockfish Public House
Designed to fill a void in the York seafood market, Rockfish Public House opened its doors in late summer. Its venue? The former Irish-themed spot on North George that once housed the Harp & Fiddle and Maewyn’s. A dramatic exterior opens up to a striking mix of reflective and rustic textures for an eclectic industrial look.
A welcome addition to the growing dining district in downtown York, the new restaurant takes a three-pronged approach to serving its customers: 1. finned fish and shellfish; 2. a handsome bar with 24 beers on tap, original cocktails and wine; and 3. an upstairs scene called RPH live, featuring music and tapas. Or, if you like, three bars (the main one downstairs, another upstairs, and a raw bar). All of this in a setting staffer Amanda Kraut describes as anything but stuffy: “a casual, upscale, fun, relaxed atmosphere” where “the seafood can’t get any fresher.”
With the growing popularity of oysters, theirs are a welcome specialty. Top of the menu here is an array of East Coast varieties, some of which are harvested specially for RPH. You can find these at the curved, gleaming raw bar or in a po’ boy.
Two variations on New England “lobsta” rolls are top sellers: Connecticut-style (hot, with butter) or Maine (cold, tossed with herbs and mayo). Specials are dictated by the freshest fish available, and the taste is proof. One offering is rockfish, served either blackened with mango puree and sautéed cauliflower or delectably broiled over a Bibb salad. Executive chef Abby Shelley is “big on local and sustainable and bringing in daily and weekly different flavors to feature, giving our customers something new to look forward to.” Of course, this seafood-themed public house also offers shrimp, clams and mussels. Expanding Rockfish’s seasonal menu are items like all-natural grilled filet mignon, “Free Bird” chicken breast, “crabcake hon,” and a veggie power tower with a quinoa base. Staff is so friendly you get the feeling they want you back…and they do.

5. TT Bar at Tutoni’s
The Next Level: TT Bar at Tutoni’s
Pairing Old World classics with a New World-inspired menu keeps York’s diners and foodies coming to Tutoni’s. Front and center is their homemade pasta; they make up to 20 pounds a week. As good as theirs is, the pasta isn’t all Tutoni’s is about. Run by Tony and Toni Calderone (thus the name), this farm-to-table restaurant riffs on traditional Italian dishes. Hand-lettered chalkboards announce farm partners and house specialties.
Seasonal specials highlight local produce and meats. Everything is made from scratch, from their soups and stocks to their sauces and mini desserts. The calamari and rigatoni Bolognese in particular are definite crowd pleasers. Seasonal specials include a sweet corn risotto with tomatoes, Parmesan and fresh ricotta or Gettysburg’s Rettland chicken with apple cider cream sauce and polenta. The cheese and charcuterie board features the area’s best, such as black truffle and Millich Kivvel, along with locally raised meats.
Taking Tutoni’s to the next level, literally, was the addition of TT Bar. For a great vibe, head upstairs to the tapas bar, which offers ten small plates under $10. There, a chic wine vending machine lets you sample seriously expensive bottles by the ounce. Scratch-made cocktails are featured at TT and will star in the Prohibition-style speakeasy on the lower level. The King George, a three-day thyme-infused bourbon cocktail featuring orange cordial, grapefruit juice, Carpano Antica and aromatics, honors a legend about the building once housing a brothel by the same name.
Toni knows her wines and holds court with creative interpretations. Commenting on one bottle, she says, “I want you to think of a full-figured brunette, in a dark orchid-colored velvet dress, eating chocolate covered cherries with dirt under her fingernails when you think of this wine. Why? Because this wine is big, it’s bold and it’s sexy.” Toni and Tony, lifelong restaurateurs privy to the challenges of working in the service industry, launched a “SIN Social” on Mondays. As the seasons change, watch for special events like chef’s table dinners and al fresco dining under the trees in Cherry Lane.

6. Greystone Public House
Making History: Greystone Public House
Central PA foodies, rejoice! Chef Jason Viscount is back in town. The original executive chef of downtown Harrisburg’s beloved Bricco took a brief respite from the Capital region but decided it was time to return, this time with his own new venture: Greystone Public House.
Most recently known as Mount Hill Tavern, the restaurant shares little resemblance to its predecessor thanks to seven months of painstaking renovation. Viscount was far from hands-off during the process. Rather, he was on site every step of the way, from planning, to demolition, to selecting the finishes. “It was my first start-to-finish build-out, so that’s really where I learned the most,” Viscount recounts. “I loved seeing it all come together.”
The building has a rich history, and Viscount was determined to preserve as much of that as possible during its transformation. Built in 1798 by Godfrey Fritchey, one of Harrisburg’s early settlers, the stone building has origins as a tavern that date back as far as 1805. You’ll notice details like the original wood beams on the second floor, which Viscount says once had hooks to hang partitions, changing the tavern into bedrooms for travelers in need of lodging.
Much of the dining area has an industrial chic feel, modernizing the space. The pièce de résistance of the restaurant is the large concrete-topped wraparound bar, bordered by patterned hex tile subtly reminiscent of an antique quilt.
The menu has an eclectic combination of comfort foods added at Viscount’s request. “It’s actually just things I like to eat,” he laughs. Bricco favorites like the braised beef short ribs and the sage pappardelle with duck ragout can be ordered here. So can new favorites like the sassafras smoked pork sandwich, which Viscount prepares with sassafras wood in his on-site smoker.
Offerings are changed weekly to accommodate what’s in season at this very moment. For example, colder months bring in favorites like roasted beet tabbouleh, served with kabocha squash hummus and pumpkin seed granola. Items like this one are offered on special for $7 during Greystone’s daily happy hour, along with discounts on beer, wine and seasonal cocktails.
Whatever you order, one thing is certain: you will not leave hungry. “It’s definitely stick-to-your-ribs type of food,” Viscount assures.

7. HMAC Kitchen
Foodie Community: HMAC Kitchen
When does a restaurant become something more? Pay a visit to the Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center and you’ll find the answer. “Here, it’s more than just a restaurant,” explains owner John Traynor. “It’s a community gathering place.”
If you’re wondering what that means, think kid-friendly spaces, free pre-brunch Zumba classes and a Sunday afternoon concert series. It means a patio for your dog and a menu that allows you to dine for under $20. That’s not to say the food isn’t delicious…it is, and it’s thoughtful, unique, and locally sourced, too.
Traynor, previously of New York City, says when he stumbled across Harrisburg with his partner in 2007, it was never supposed to be a permanent stop. But once they recognized the idyllic setting just off the Susquehanna and the architectural gems within the city that offered so much potential, they “decided it deserved a second look,” he says. Within a few days, they had bought the sprawling 35,000-square-foot structure and two other buildings in midtown.
The idea was always to open the entire building as a cultural center, but the recession hit and their plan became multi-staged. First, Stage on Herr became the live music destination Midtowners loved, and just over a year ago, The Kitchen at HMAC opened for business.
When walking into the colorful dining room, you’ll realize it is part industrial dining space and part art gallery, with the work of several talented local artists on display at a time. A large chalkboard wall is covered with mouthwatering menu items—some small plates, some entrée-sized. As you order at the bar, select one of their 13 craft beers on tap and then allow everything to be delivered to your table.
Chef Greg Dietrich whips up everything from Southern-inspired classics like the chicken and waffles on their Saturday and Sunday brunch menu to vegetarian options available every day, like roasted zucchini naan served with hummus, chevre and spinach.
Dietrich welcomes parents to order a child’s-size portion of any adult menu item for kids (the H’Mac ‘n’ cheese with smoked gouda is a crowd-pleaser). “We see a lot of families here, especially on weekends,” says Traynor. “This place has really come full-circle.”

8. The Capital Gastropub
A Whole New World: The Capital Gastropub
Restaurant Row is now entering a new era. The Renaissance of downtown Harrisburg is bringing a sophisticated new look to Second Street—once lined with bar after bar for late nights out—that is markedly more dining-oriented.
The Capital Gastropub is one prime example. Formerly Ceolta’s, the standby Irish bar, this revamped restaurant is embarking on a much less rowdy venture. The re-imagination of this property and the one across the street, Bridge’s Social Club (formerly The Quarter), can be credited to Erik Sokhadze, a restaurant group partner who moved his life from New York City to Central PA to oversee these projects.
Both restaurants, he explains, needed quite a bit of renovation before reopening. Today, The Capital Gastropub is a far more polished version of its former self, with restored woodwork, a rich color palette, and a fully-functioning elevator to replace the tiresome three-story staircase to the roof-top dining area.
Sokhadze, a Belarus native, was captivated by the history here in Harrisburg. “It reminds me of a European town,” he says. Fitting, as the theme for the new restaurant is largely British-inspired. Menu items like the fish and chips, shepherd’s pie, and crème brulee bread pudding serve as more overt reminders among the selections.
However, the real U.K. highlight is the high tea, served daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and inspired by Sokhadze’s time working at Manhattan’s legendary Russian Tea Room. This unique royal experience offers a combination of finger sandwiches, cakes and scones to be enjoyed with your tea or coffee.
Don’t mistake this for a theme restaurant, however. Renowned local chef Jeff Utzman added several other eclectic dishes to the menu. Elk carpaccio, for example, is made here with seared, herb-crusted elk tenderloin. Or you can try the “grimps,” Utzman’s version of shimp and grits, with green tomatoes, Andouille sausage and a touch of heat from chipotle pepper.
Although alcohol isn’t the sole focus of The Capital Gastropub, you won’t be disappointed by the selections. Try the house-infused vodka flight, which offers your choice of savory (horseradish or honey-pepper) or sweet (mixed berry or passion fruit).
Still, this is no bar. “We wanted to get rid of that nightlife feel,” Sokhadze says. “We created something new, something special.”
