The Lombardo’s team crafts an experience like no other. For nearly 80 years, Lombardo’s has told the timeless tale of Italian comfort food by welcoming people from near and far around their table and into their family’s history. Rooted in recipes passed down for generations, their place in the Lancaster food scene is marked by a heritage of excellence and connection.
“Those original recipes are our staples—they represent the foundation of our menu,” Sous Chef Brandon Hill says. “And our weekly specials represent the innovation we get excited to express.”
A passionate cook since he was a child, Hill is inspired by the rich Italian flavors that anchor each dish he prepares, and he is proud to work alongside a culinary team who is creative, quick to help, and whose priority is for customers to leave Lombardo’s happy.
That familial atmosphere is also important to Lead Bartender Katie Heege, who joined the Lombardo’s team in 2020 during the renovations. Over the past four years, getting to know each person she serves is what fulfills her most.
“I hope my customers feel like they were at my house—savoring their drink, enjoying their food—and their experience was great because of the people they talked to,” she says.
Behind the bar, Heege crafts creative cocktails that honor the integrity of classics, incorporate seasonal produce and herbs and include something for every palate—including mocktails.
Both Hill’s and Heege’s commitment to honoring the legacy of Lombardo’s and the experience of their loyal patrons can be felt as soon as you walk through the doors—as the entire Lombardo’s team strives to help you create moments to remember.
