Pottstown, Pennsylvania, is the epitome of a small town. The surrounding area is rural, leaving plenty of natural grounds for hiking. However, small towns are also known for being more overrun with fast food and chain restaurants than gourmet dining. Pottstown exceeds these expectations and offers locals and visitors several restaurant options that provide high-quality dishes made from fresh ingredients and beautiful presentation.
The restaurant is located in a small shopping center, but don't let Vittorio's Trattoria's exterior dissuade you from entering. Once inside, you'll experience a gourmet Italian meal in a casual yet classy atmosphere. Vittorio Ottaviano and his daughter Angela operate the restaurant, which is open for dinner Tuesdays through Sundays and lunch Tuesdays through Saturdays. The menu boasts customary Italian food and many house specialties. Gourmet options include the Veal Involtini, veal wrapped in spinach and bleu cheese topped with cream sauce; homemade lasagna made from the freshest ingredients; and fresh seafood fare that includes mussels and clams. In addition to serving gourmet fare, Vittorio's is also family-friendly, and children eat free Sundays.

Cutillo's Restaurant is housed in a former inn that has been part of Pottstown since the 18th century. The inn became Cutillo's in 1948, making a name for itself as a gourmet restaurant in town ever since. The menu began with freshly homemade pastas and sauces and now has expanded to include many other fine steak and fresh seafood dishes. A house specialty is the crab penne. The interior has also been updated since 1948 with an addition added on in 1975 that now houses the restaurant portion. Big glass walls were included in the addition to provide diners with views of the sweeping scenery of Sanatoga Creek outside. Cutillo's is open for dinner Tuesdays through Sundays and lunch Tuesdays through Fridays.
