Chef Dato's Table

Me and my husband stopped for the first time today. Upon pulling into the parking lot we were concerned because there weren't other vehicles, but decided to go in...and we were not disappointed! We have driven by dozens of times, but today we made it part of our plans and we were pleasantly surprised! We will DEFINITELY return! The atmosphere was warm and comfortable and the service was fast and friendly! We started with the crispy provolone cheese wheel....it is served over marinara sauce and was crispy, gooey, and delish! Both entrées were very good and the portions were good. If you've driven by in the past and didn't stop....please do! Added bonus, they have rotating specials and serve many different international cuisines. Put it on your list of places to go!

Chef Dato Table is a wonderful family restaurant with a comfortable atmosphere, friendly service & a menu that offers quite a variety including international cuisine once a week. Kudos to the chef - we have always enjoyed our meals. A good- choice destination!

I wasn’t sure they were really set up for take out as the server offered me a real fork after not being able to find disposable cutlery. But let me tell you—when I returned to my hotel room to eat, I devoured the food. I ordered a salmon salad and some banana pudding. Delish! My daughter said her food was 🔥

In town for Steelers training camp and we met the owner, Lara. She invited us to try her restaurant before we went to training camp the next day. We did! And the door was excellent from the pot sticker appetizer(not pictured) to our main courses and dessert. If you are in the area stop by. You will not be disappointed.

Chef Dato's Table: what an amazing gem just outside of tiny Latrobe this is! Kara (the owner and the late Chef Dato's wife) and her chefs and servers are all absolutely wonderful. The food? Incredible; large portions as well. The drinks? Delicious. You can go ahead and make it a point to come here now if you don't want to keep reading (trust me, you'll love it) but I'll share a bit about what we had below.

My wife and I visited for lunch and each got a handmade cocktail--a Negroni and Manhattan--perfectly crafted by Kara herself. We ordered the Giant Bavarian Pretzel with bier cheese as an appetizer, which was, in fact, absolutely enormous (the size of my adult head!), hot and flaky, and the hot cheese dip was *chef's kiss*.

We were both feeling a sandwich, so after some help from our amazing server Paige (ask for Paige as your server!), I selected Chef Dato's Famous Giant Fish Sandwich and my wife picked the Roasted Turkey on (house made) Stuffing Bread (basically a Thanksgiving meal in sandwich form with gravy and cranberry jelly--the stuffing IS THE BREAD!). Did I mention the portions are enormous here? Come hungry!

Our sandwiches were perfect and the fries hot and crispy. We had zero room to try dessert this time around but I cannot wait to return to try their dinner entrees or one of their famous Wild Game nights.

Latrobe is incredibly lucky to have Chef Dato's. Swing by when you're in the area!
