Sarina's Pizza & Italian Restaurant

Sarina's is definitely a fun place to eat. There are two TV's, one on either side of the seating area. One of the booths has a coin game where if you can flip quarter into the hole, you get a free 14" pizza. Also I spotted breathalyzer in the restaurant, just in case you wanted to check. Besides the fun and games, the inside is very similar to what you'd expect to find in a typical pizza place. The staff is friendly and the food is good. The menu resembles a general quick pizza place combined with an Italian restaurant. There is a wide variety of sandwiches, pizzas and pastas. The bread is made each day inside the restaurant, and it is very soft and wholesome.

The food came out fairly quick, and is definitely reasonable to get in between class.

They are open until 10pm on the weekdays, and 11pm on Friday and Saturday.

The price is definitely reasonable; it seems to be about average for what you'd expect to find anywhere else in state college for that type of food.

As the others so far, they accept LionCash and deliver.

They have two different specials. For lunch, you can get two cheese slices or Sicilian slices and a drink for $4.99 or you can get a small Stromboli for $4.99. For dinner, the special is either penne or spaghetti, a loaf of bread and a tossed salad for $7.99

The first time I ever ate at Sarina’s; I ordered a chicken cheese steak. The chef begged me to get the buffalo sauce on it. He told me he made it special. I agreed, and I haven't looked back since. The buffalo sauce is absolutely delicious. The chicken is very moist, and the cheese is melted throughout. Most importantly, the bread is soft, warm and makes the sandwich so much better. For a cheese steak, curly fries and a drink, I paid $11.49, which is normal for what I've had here in State College.

The chicken parmigiana sub is another great sandwich offered from Sarina’s. The chicken is cooked just right and sauce they use is just awesome. Combined with cheese and their soft bread you have a great meal. The bread is really what makes theses sandwiches so good. It cost about $5.35 for just the sandwich.

The fry selection is definitely a refreshing change. Most restaurants have their own style of fries, naturally. Sarina's takes this to a whole new level by adding curly fries as a selection. This is a rare find, and a refreshing one at that. If you ever are craving some curly fries in the Happy Valley, come to Sarina's because I don't believe I've seen them anywhere else so far. The portions are small, but definitely enough.
