Matthew's Trattoria At Lovell Place

The service and ambience can't be topped in Erie--on par with most nicer places in bigger cities. Our dinners were extraordinary (sauteed seabass and pan-seared ahi tuna), and with the open kitchen you can see just how clean it is (you can watch the chefs, who wear gloves, cook your meal). Probably not the best place for kids, but they did advertise an extensive kids menu.
