About the restaurant
Fiesta Mexico is a beautiful Mexican restaurant that is great for everything from dates to celebrations. The interior has stunning archways and fantastic décor. There is a full bar so that patrons can sip on fruity margaritas to go with their meals. Fiesta Mexico is open every day of the week for lunch and dinner. The Fiesta Mexico menu is quite extensive and has great options for vegetarians and non-vegetarians. The queso fundido and cheese quesadilla are mouthwatering and addicting. Nacho lovers can order options like bean nachos and beef nachos, or chorizo nachos and chicken nachos. Other favorites are the carne asada with tender steak and guacamole salad. Dinner combinations are very popular as well so that diners can try a variety of items like enchiladas and tacos when ordering just one meal.

The Wagyu ribeye was amazing and cooked perfectly. Service was attentive and not overwhelming. The surprise special treat for our wedding anniversary was much appreciated. We felt valued.

About the restaurant
Voted "Best New Restaurant" by Harrisburg Magazine in 2009, Piazza Sorrento is a modern Italian restaurant based on the "Old World" Italian recipes of the owner's family back in Italy. The Bolognese sauce they grew up on and the tradition of family is the cornerstone of the Piazza Sorrento dining experience. Dedicated to providing the finest in service, food, and wine at a fair and competitive price, Piazza Sorrento makes regional and classic Italian cuisine using premium local ingredients while keeping the history of the dish and region intact.


Piazza Sorrento not only provides the best in authentic Italian cooking this side of the Atlantic, but also believes that all patrons, whether adults or children, should be welcomed like one big family - even those with certain dietary requirements. That is why Piazza Sorrento is widely known for their extensive Gluten Free menu, another reason patrons routinely drive over an hour or more to dine in relative ease and safety.

We had a great experience. The best part about this restaurant is the fact that they have an entire menu for those with gluten allergies. Our waitress was great and the food was very good.

We've been wanting to try 1700 for several years and finally made it there tonight for our anniversary. The food was excellent, our waiter, Rob, was very personable, and the service was great! We look forward to coming back again.
