Chef Dato's Table

Chef Dato's Table sits on the historic PA‑217 corridor in the heart of Latrobe, Pennsylvania, a town celebrated for its golf heritage and the Arnold Palmer Museum. The family‑run restaurant, founded by the late Chef Dato Kadigishvilli, offers a menu that blends classic American comfort food with a surprising wild‑game selection, such as venison medallions, rabbit stew, and duck confit. Diners can also enjoy familiar favorites like hand‑breaded chicken tenders, New York‑style burgers, and creamy mac & cheese, all prepared with locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. The interior combines reclaimed wood tables, soft amber lighting, and a modest display of Chef Dato’s culinary awards, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels both casual and celebratory. Open Tuesday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday‑Saturday until 9 p.m., the restaurant serves lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, with a modest price range of $12‑$30 per entrée. In addition to the regular menu, Chef Dato's Table provides catering for private parties, corporate events, and a dedicated wild‑game menu for adventurous guests. The staff greets guests by name when possible, and the open kitchen lets patrons watch the chefs finish a sizzling steak or finish a delicate sauce. Whether you’re a local looking for a reliable spot for family dinner or a traveler passing through after a round at the nearby golf course, Chef Dato's Table promises hearty portions, attentive service, and a tribute to the chef who loved to make people happy through food.
