Frommer's Review
Several generations of the Sena family are involved in this successful restaurant, which has spawned Penn's View Inn and Ristorante Panorama . The restaurant seats 60 in a warm, old-world setting of hand-hammered Venetian chandeliers and majolica tiles. Most pasta is homemade. Try the pappardelle ai funghi, served in appetizer or entree portions, or save room for an excellent veal chop with fresh garlic-basil sauce. For dessert, I love mille foglie, the Italian version of the napoleon, or the profiteroles in chocolate sauce, accompanied by one of the grappas (kept over the fireplace). People often linger long after closing.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
