While the interior might look different from when Lombardo’s first opened its doors in 1946, it has been a staple of the Lancaster food scene for more than 75 years. Offering authentic Italian cuisine prepared in a kitchen built on culture, creativity and innovation run through the veins of the restaurant. Creating an atmosphere where fresh cooked food and great conversation brings people together is what Lombardo’s is known for.
“The Lombardo’s classics like red sauce, meatballs, lasagna, and ravioli are what built this place. The family ethos is where our inspiration comes from, with a modern twist,” Executive Chef Ryan Stradley says. “We want you to feel like you’re coming home for Nonna’s Sunday dinner, whether you’re eating the spaghetti and meatballs, or the spaghetti squash and seared scallops.”
From the original family recipes to the portraits of the founding family members displayed around the restaurant, each detail of Lombardo’s is infused with a legacy of excellence. With a farm-to-table approach, each dish is prepared with local ingredients at the peak of freshness.
Serving up dishes that would make founding family members proud, Stradley and his team strive for culinary excellence. Chef de Cuisine Shawn McKinney says, “There’s a level of care put into everything.
I would like people to know that as they are eating our food. You can tell when people care.”
Lombardo’s welcomes guests into an unforgettable experience by creating a space to savor life’s sweetest moments around the dinner table with the people who matter most.
