We all need to switch things up a bit from time to time. Sometimes, when the mood strikes, we might opt to dine out at a lively restaurant with a massive menu and plenty of seating. Then, at other times, we just want to embrace the coziness of a small restaurant that’s not too loud, not too crowded, and just promises a delicious, homemade meal. When that other time hits and you want a delicious meal in a cozy atmosphere, head to this restaurant in Pennsylvania.

Pastorante, a cozy restaurant nestled in Harrisburg, proves that age-old saying, “the best things come in small packages,” true.
