A Bellefonte-area restaurant is starting a new chapter with significant changes to boot.
Alloy Kitchen is now operating independently of Titan Hollow, the industrial venue along Axemann Road, after both parties agreed to end their partnership. The restaurant previously served as the site’s in-house, sit-down dining option.
In this new era, Alloy Kitchen will exclusively accept takeout and delivery orders from 5-9 p.m. daily. The restaurant has leased its own kitchen at Titan Park’s Plant 1 since opening in late 2021.
Alloy Kitchen’s food is available on platforms like GrubHub and DoorDash, as well as order.rezku.com/alloykitchen. Offerings listed online resemble a wide-ranging collection of Alloy Kitchen favorites, including appetizers, chicken wings, salads, macaroni and cheese, sandwiches and main plates like shiitake schnitzel and fish and chips.
Anyone who orders for takeout is encouraged to call or text the restaurant at 814-380-9994 while waiting in the parking lot. Delivery drivers should also wait in the parking lot, the restaurant said.
Alloy Kitchen will continue offering options for customers with dietary restrictions and plans to create an allergen-friendly menu for online ordering. The restaurant has routinely drawn significant praise for its ability to make a large chunk of appetizers, salads, entrées and desserts gluten-friendly, vegetarian or vegan. Gluten-free sandwich buns are still available upon request.
Tony Caracillo, the chef and owner of Alloy Kitchen, said his restaurant’s business relationship with Titan Hollow “was no longer mutually beneficial.”
“We wish everyone at Titan Hollow the best,” Caracillo wrote in an email Friday. “We remain open and [will continue] serving our customers as we begin this new chapter.”
Word of severed ties between Alloy Kitchen and Titan Hollow surfaced July 1 when the venue posted about the change on its Facebook page. The split arrived after a prolonged period in which both parties attempted to work through ongoing disagreements over operations and business needs, according to Angela Eliasz, co-owner and co-creator of Titan Hollow.
Neither Caracillo nor Eliasz specified the exact nature of their parties’ unmet business needs or differences of opinion regarding management styles.
“That is a decision that neither Alloy [Kitchen] nor Titan Hollow took lightly,” Eliasz told the Centre Daily Times. “We’ve been trying to figure out the best path forward for both businesses and both of our staff. I think it’s just a new chapter.”
In social media posts announcing the split with Alloy Kitchen, Titan Hollow promised “the cider, the cocktails and the spirit that’s made Titan Hollow feel like home since day one” will not change. The venue expects to bring in a rotating lineup of food trucks and caterers in the larger event space to continue feeding guests “as soon as we can schedule them,” with some are already expressing interest, Eliasz said last week.
Mad McIntosh Cider, Witches’ Hollow Winery and Titan Events will continue operating following Alloy Kitchen’s split from Titan Hollow.
Alloy Kitchen began a new chapter in 2025 when restaurant founder Lori Sabatino turned over the reins to Caracillo, a State College native and State College Area High School graduate. He began working as a server and bartender for Titan Hollow in 2023 before purchasing the restaurant.
Alloy Kitchen is open daily from 5-9 p.m. at 2042 Axemann Road. Titan Hollow’s “sipping hours” run from 4-9 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays, 4-10 p.m. on Fridays, noon to 10 p.m. on Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sundays, according to its website.
