Bellefonte, PA – April 9, 2025 – Alloy Kitchen, a beloved staple of Bellefonte’s culinary scene, is entering a new chapter as Tony Caracillo officially takes ownership from founder Lori Sabatino. This transition marks an exciting evolution for the restaurant, with Caracillo bringing fresh ideas while honoring the foundation that has made Alloy Kitchen a community favorite.
A State College native and 2012 graduate of State High, Caracillo has built a career as a skilled chef and entrepreneur. He has been instrumental in shaping Alloy Kitchen’s operations and menu, and now, as owner, he plans to expand the restaurant’s reach through off-site catering and partnerships with local businesses.
“Alloy Kitchen has always been about great food and a strong sense of community,” said Caracillo. “I’m excited to build on what Lori started and continue making this a place where people come together over amazing meals.”
Sabatino, who founded Alloy Kitchen with a vision for high-quality, locally inspired cuisine, expressed confidence in Caracillo’s leadership. “Tony has been working side by side with me for the past year helping to drive Alloy Kitchen’s success.” she said.
Over the past year, Caracillo has immersed himself in Alloy Kitchen’s operations, gaining firsthand experience with its culinary vision and daily workflow. Before that, he worked front of house at Titan Hollow as a server and bartender, refining his hospitality skills and strengthening his ties to the local dining community.
With experience at some of Happy Valley’s most popular restaurants and five years in Arizona’s dynamic food scene, Caracillo brings a well-rounded perspective to his new role; combining kitchen expertise with a dedication to outstanding food, service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere for guests.
The transition comes as Alloy Kitchen looks ahead to new opportunities, including new partnerships and enhanced customer experiences. Regulars can expect the same dedication to bold flavors and creative dishes that have defined the restaurant, with Caracillo leading the way. “And don’t worry, I’m not messing with the Fish and Chips.” Caracillo said.
