At the upper station

The independent Tuscan Italian restaurant beside the upper incline station remains open during rehabilitation, preserving a reason to visit the hilltop and its city view even while no cars are running.

The place

About Asiago’s at the Inclined Plane

Asiago’s Tuscan Italian occupies 709 Edge Hill Drive beside the Johnstown Inclined Plane’s upper station. The operator’s current rehabilitation notices repeatedly state that the restaurant remains open while the incline and gift shop are closed.

The restaurant describes scratch-made sauces, appetizers, entrées, desserts, cocktails, and a wine list with more than 100 selections. Menus and prices can change, so the official menu is the source to use on the day of a visit.

Reservation requests are available online and are sensible for weekends or a special trip. The restaurant specifically warns that a window table cannot be guaranteed, although it describes the view as enjoyable throughout the room.

What stands out

The open part of the station complex

The restaurant remains a viable hilltop stop while the transit system and gift shop are closed.

Dinner with the valley in view

The location overlooks downtown, the rivers, rail corridor, and industrial geography the incline was built to connect.

Direct planning actions

Current menus, reservation requests, phone, email, and directions are all available without a third-party booking layer.

Pair it with the train

Why it belongs in a Johnstown Inclined Plane trip

Asiago’s is about 75 feet from the upper-station address, making it the only currently open onsite business in this guide. It does not provide access to the closed incline; arrive by Edge Hill Drive and treat the meal and overlook as a separate hilltop visit.
