Went there as a youngster; back in the 50's. Had our wedding party dinner there in 1966. Drove all the way from Williamsport to do it. Our guests thought we were insane to force them to go that far (they were from California). But after they got there.....well, that became a different story, a culinary experience they talk about to this day. Someone else has said, "they bury you in food." True, and what food it was too. And then, they came to take your dinner order. Amazing!
We went there in the 70’s. I remember they would serve 25 appetizers and the an entree on top of that. I can’t find a menu that shows this. Anyone rent thus ?
My husband and I visited Altoona our first year of marriage (1977). Our dinner at Eucuiliani's was quite the experience! If I am remembering correctly, the menus were printed on plain paper (one pink, for the lady with NO prices on the entrees....and a green one for the gentleman that had prices listed......You ordered an entree and a beverage, and they kept bringing little plates/bowls of other side dishes for you to try). I also remember, that the decor was quite eclectic, they had beautiful marble statues next to vases with plastic flowers! Circumstances and distance (we live in Michigan) never took us back there but, it was a LOVELY experience and a wonderful memory.
I remember this place. Excellent. Sorry to hear it is gone.
