Nardo's Cafe

We were in Altoona for the evening on our way to Erie and stopped by around 7:30 for a quick dinner. The owner and his staff were very friendly and I thought it was awesome that they took orders all the way up to closing time at 8. We got a pizza steak sub and fries, I've never had one like it and I'm obsessed. The marina and cheese covered steak was topped with lettuce, tomato, raw onion and a balsamic dressing that was to die for, definitely took the sub to the next level. The plate of fries were fresh cut and large enough to feed a family of 4. The restaurant was spacious and clean with a really cool video game table/console in the center. I also thought it was cool how the owners had assigned each menu item bat codes that employees simply scan when ringing up, very efficient. It's a shame we live 3 hours away, this place would be our go to for subs.

I will forever love this place! Every time I visit home, we stop at Nardos. I've got my husband hooked. Ever since we started dating, it's been his fav spot and that was almost ten years ago! Nardos is one of those places were you can go have a beer with a friend and get some pizza or grab take out and it tastes just the same! We love their buffalo chicken salads, thats usually our go to!

Their pizza is flawless, so good. Their salads are massive. I got a buffalo chicken salad and ate it twice for dinner and still didn't finish it. It's a little gem that more people have to try!

Love the subs and salads. Fried pickles are the best here, they use a batter rather than a breading.

Got a big appetite? Try taking down one of Nardos large cheesesteaks and an order of bacon cheese frys! What a combo! I can't complain about anything I've eaten here. But I can praise it!

I love Nardos! I have never had bad food here, their chicken pasta salads are delicious along with their house dressing. I also enjoy their Philly cheesesteak sub, in my opinion it's the best around, the meat is tender rather than the average dry philly meat at other restaurants. Their Cajun fries are also a yummy add on to any meal

Nardos is a great little gem hidden in Altoona. Although the other review on here is pretty bad...I've personally never had a bad experience at Nardos. The wings are delicious, and the subs are out of this world good! I love the unique environment, and the strange hidden location of Nardos it's almost like having a dinner in your best friends loft. Overall I think Nardos is one of the top spots in Altoona for a sub and wings!

Well, I'm not from Altoona but decided to stop in and try the local flavors.I had jalapeno poppers and the buffalo chicken salad. The jalapeno poppers arrived and looked like normal jalapeno poppers, they were still frozen in the middle when I bit into them. The second try on this complex dish was an over-fried version of the first, it was how I imagine people feel when they get their tattoos redone: it's OK the first time but if you have to do it again you should just skip it. Next time I'll drive to wal-mart, buy jalapeno poppers and put them in the microwave to save myself the time of sitting at the dirty tables here. The main dish was a buffalo chicken salad: bagged iceberg lettuce+fried chicken+frank's red hot sauce+cheese+french fries. This was served on a small plate which is supposed to make it look like a big dish, although it just makes it fall on the table when you try to eat it. Finish this off with a cool refreshing soda served in a styrofoam cup to keep with the 'you've got food from the middle school cafeteria' theme. If you want to get the flavor of their food just try to pay by credit, you'll have to use their ATM to get cash and the surcharge will leave the same flavor in your mouth as their food.Family oriented? Yeah, you sit next to giant coolers filled with beer while a TV plays above you.

Awesome food! Love the chicken pasta salad and the cheesesteak! Italian wings are to die for along with Johns homemade dressing!

Not sure what happened to the kitchen staff, but the pizza I've gotten almost every week was absolutely disgusting tonight. Too thick on the edge, too thin (paper thin) in the middle!I'm hoping that the pizza maker gets some legit training soon! Erica, as always, was her cheerful, people pleasing self!
