here's the spiel: us Red Hat Chicks went to Ripa's Restaurant for LANCASTER OPERA HOUSE'S production of "FINNEGAN'S FAREWELL". it was FANTASTIC! every member of the cast was very talented not only in acting, but in singing as well. the jokes were plentiful, and the...inter-action of the cast with the audience was memorable. before dinner, we were told that we were going to have: "a 7 course meal---a 6 pack & a potato." the crowd roared. dinner did consist of salad, chicken, green beans, potatoes, rolls & butter & ice cream for dessert. and the servers were FANTASTIC as they brought everyone their food. we had a FANTASTIC, fun-filled evening and I gotta say, I wouldn't mind seeing this again. I would tell you more about the performance, but I really don't want to spoil it for you. it is a must see.More

What a nice place. The servers were so cheerful and kind. The atmosphere was peppy without being overly loud. The soups were solid. The homemade pasta was hearty without being to heavy. Great red sauce. Drinks are a good value. The entire group was happy...with the meal and evening. We would go backMore

Although just 3 miles from where I’ve liv d for almost 2 years, it’s the opposite way than 99% of everything else so it’s easy to forget it’s there. So with friends in town for my birthday and not totally familiar with the area I...googled Italian restaurants and this came up with the ad indicating they make homemade pasta, a plus for me. The food was great as was the service. We had a very pleasant experience and will certainly frequent the place often now.More

The Ripa family was so easy to work with when planning a memorial luncheon right after Christmas. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for the holidays. We had several choices for the buffet menu. The wait staff was efficient and very kind. Loved the hot rolls...that kept coming out! The dessert tray of cakes and brownies flew off the buffet. The buffet was reasonable, and all the information was readily available on the website. Will return again.More

Went here with a group of 6 people and none of us like the food. Worst lasagna that I ever had! I would not recommend this restaurant at all.

We had pork chops which are outstanding and the Salmon is great as well. The atmosphere is wonderful. Very Italian and beautifully decorated. the service was super and the atmosphere was delightful. Highly recommend a visit with family and friends. They have been in business...a long time and they know how to do it right. Have also been there for banquets and wow, wonderful wongerful. Do go.More

We love to try fish fries at restaurants and opted for Ripas a few fridays ago. I had the char broiled fish which was excellent . I had too much food to eat so ended up taking some home for lunch the next day. The...food was great. My friend had the 1/2 fish and was equally impressed as I was. A place we will return too in the future.More
