Fine Dining at The Wilbur
When looking for fine dining or an upscale steakhouse experience in town, the historic Wilbur Chocolate factory complex is the ultimate premier destination.
Many food lovers still search for the famous Blackworth Lititz menu options, as Blackworth Live Fire Grill established a strong reputation for high-end dining and wood-fired cooking in town. Today, that luxury dining tradition continues at Kole Chophouse in the very same space. Kole Chophouse offers an exquisite fine dining atmosphere featuring premier cuts of American Wagyu, Australian Wagyu, and authentic Kobe beef alongside fresh seafood, handcrafted cocktails, and an extensive wine list. It is the top spot in town for a special occasion, romantic date night, or upscale celebration.
Also located inside The Wilbur complex is Cavolo Pizzeria Bar, which brings a sophisticated twist to modern Italian dining. Cavolo features incredible wood-fired artisan pizzas, specialty small plates, fresh pastas, and craft cocktails in a chic, vibrant setting. Combining Kole Chophouse and Cavolo Pizzeria Bar under one roof makes The Wilbur district the crown jewel of fine dining among Lititz restaurants.
Historic Pub Dining & Bulls Head Lititz
For an authentic pub experience steeped in local history, a visit to the Bulls Head Lititz inside the Lititz Springs Inn is an absolute must.
Designed in the style of a traditional British pub, the Bulls Head Lititz offers an exceptional selection of craft beers, cozy booth seating, and outstanding pub fare. It is a premier gathering spot for locals and visitors alike, making it a wonderful location to unwind after a day of touring local neighborhoods.
Local Favorites
No food tour in town is complete without dessert and a scenic walk. Whenever I am in Lititz, I try to build time into my schedule to sit at a picnic bench in Lititz Springs Park, enjoy the serenity, and collect my thoughts. There are so many special places in the park. At one end of the park is the amphitheater and the stairs where the old lion head rests and the new statue stands. At the other end is the cab where Santa visits and the Oehme Gazebo at the heart of the park. The ducks sprawl along the spring and bring a charm that can’t be replicated.
Right across from the park, you can visit the Wilbur Chocolate Store to pick up a bag of signature Wilbur Buds. And if you love homemade ice cream, Greco’s in the center of town is a must-visit. Greco’s is not your average ice cream shop: Everything is handmade with dozens of rotating flavors, specialty sundaes, and refreshing Italian ice. With outdoor picnic tables, it's the ideal place to sit with friends and family and enjoy your day. I invite you to visit Lititz, PA… The best small town in Pennsylvania!
