I highly recommend this place!

The wedding soup is spot-on, and I’ve never had better oyster crackers. The creamed butter served with freshly baked bread is divine, and the shrimp in the shrimp cocktail is superb. The homemade pasta is excellent, and the veal Marsala is a timeless classic. But keep in mind, this is Apollo, a small, struggling town about an hour outside of Pittsburgh, which adds to the wonder of the experience. This was my first visit since 1989, and I’m pleased to say that it has not lost its touch. Our waitress, who had just been on the job for three weeks and was new to waitressing, was delightful and clearly well-trained, effectively representing her town. For those living in this rural area, the prices might seem a bit high, but you absolutely must go at least once in your lifetime. For the rest of us, it’s a destination that captures a slice of culinary history, and it’s well worth the journey. I won't wait so long to return again.

All things considered the whole dining process was a little over a hour and as much as the atmosphere was relaxing and service commendable the experience in total was a bit disappointing mainly due to the food and you can't judge 1 thing 1 time but outside the bread nothing really impressed me here.
