MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (WBOY) — Morgantown has one of the best collections of restaurants in north central West Virginia. If you’re looking for game day grub, a fancy night out or a particular ethnic style, you can probably find it in Morgantown.

There are dozens of great restaurants in Morgantown, but the ones listed here have been reviewed the most on Google, Tripadvisor and OpenTable, a restaurant reservation service. A restaurant’s ranking is determined by its number of total reviews, not its overall score. National chains and fast-food restaurants were also not considered for this list.

#10. Sargasso

Sargasso, located just off Don Knotts Boulevard (US 119), is known for its fine dining and blending of local and internationally sourced ingredients that are used to prepare “New American cuisine influenced by cultures here at home and abroad.”

#9. Lake House Restaurant

The Lake House Restaurant in Cheat Lake is one of a handful of seafood restaurants in the Morgantown area and is a frequently visited spot for lake-goers.

#4. Mountain State Brewing Company

Pies & Pints has a wide selection of signature pizzas, sandwiches and local craft beer.

#1. Oliverio’s Ristorante

If you live in Morgantown it’s probably not a surprise to see that Oliverio’s is the most-popular restaurant in the city of Morgantown. Located on the wharf next to Mountain State Brewing, Oliverio’s has been serving up Italian food in Morgantown for more than 20 years (and even longer in Bridgeport).
