Welcome to Lionne, situated in the Nittany Lion Inn’s historic main dining room, an institution in and of itself since the hotel’s 1931 inception. Here, the focus on service and hospitality from our community living room extends to the dinner table. From its first day of operation, the dining room has provided comfort and care for both patron and staff. Lou Silvi, general manager of the Inn from 1958 to 1967, championed ideal working conditions for servers. In 1996, General Manger Jim Purdum established the kitchen and dining rooms as educational institutions, setting the stage for the exceptional culinary journey to follow.

At Lionne today, each dish is meticulously crafted with the freshest regional ingredients, celebrating Central Pennsylvania’s bounty of small farms and culinary artisans. From classic Inn dishes to exquisite plated creations, our menu reflects a dedication to superior quality. Beverage options, including innovative cocktails made with top-shelf spirits, a diverse local beer selection and robust wine list, have been thoughtfully curated to enrich our guests’ time spent with us. We hope you enjoy your visit, where our attentive staff ensures a relaxed atmosphere in which you can savor every moment.
