Our Story
As our locals know, Fenicci's of Hershey is a restaurant that is deeply embedded in the history of the town of Hershey. Since 1935, under the DeAngelis name, the doors to the restaurant have been open for great food and fun times with family and friends. Mr. Reese actually had one of his first candy factories in the basement of this very building and our Veranda Room was Hershey's most respected Jewelry Store, Erwin's, until 1988.
I am very happy that we are able to operate the restaurant in the tradition of the two great families that have previously owned it, the DeAngelis and the Fenice families. Tradition is very important to this restaurant that holds the distinction of “The oldest freestanding restaurant in Hershey, since 1935”. We use all of the original recipes that were brought over from Italy to make our sauces. I also think that we have one of the best homemade Lasagnas, except for Moms!
We continue to keep it exciting at Fenicci's of Hershey with new events and promotions all of the time. We are open for lunch and feature some of the restaurants original items like the DeAngelis Meatball Sub and, of course, our famous Upside Down Pizza, the first pizza ever introduced into Hershey in 1947. Music on Friday and Saturday Nights has become a regular event, featuring local artists. Our private catering, both on and off premise has been an exciting new addition to our offerings as well as the French Doors on our dining room for private parties.

I came to the area as the General Manager of the Marriott, now the Sheraton Hotel. Hospitality, good friends, family, and delicious food are my passions. Hershey and Penn State Children‘s Hospital, especially Children's Miracle Network, are my other great passions. Over the past 15 years, we were able to raise over $400,000 to help the hospital and the kids of our community. Ask me one day about the Guinness World Record I hold for the most roller coasters traveled in 24 hours where all of the proceeds benefited CMN!
