    Cheesesteak

    They make a good Pizza. There cheesesteaks have very little meat in them. Haven't found a good cheesesteak in the Poconos yet. Place is clean and they are friendly. I will be back, not a lot to choose from up here.

    Sicilian pizza
    Ulyana K.

    Day one of by 2022 Pocono Mountain Adventure. Today, I just arrived at my AirBnB. The homeowner provided a list of the top nearby restaurants, and he said Brother Bruno's pizza is the best in town. I decided to put his claims to the test and ordered a medium plain cheese calzone, a Sicilian pizza with pepperoni, and a mushroom with meatball Neapolitan pizza. The crust for the mushroom and meatball pie was pretty good. However, you can see that the mushrooms seem pretty underdone in the photo. I like them charged and browned, not pale. Meatballs were okay and the price was fine for the area. Also, I wouldn't call this a Neapolitan pizza. Neapolitan is more soggy, saucy, and has a very specific definition that this clearly doesn't meet. Mercurios is Pittsburgh is real Neapolitan. I don't understand why they call this Neapolitan because it definitely isn't, and they know that. 2/5 The Sicilian was decent. The portion was large and the pepperoni was pretty perfect. Not too oily, flavorful, and big. There was an ample amount of cheese. It's bready, but that's what I expect with Sicilian. Pretty pricy though. Overall, a 3.5/5. I try calzones at almost every pizza place I order from. The calzone here is quite good. It's not too bready, not too greasy, and a great size. Again, a bit pricy, but not terrible for the area. You can expect most things to be pricier here. It's loaded with more ricotta than most places I've visited. Very good calzone, but the marinara sauce is only okay. 4/5 What brings this place down a bit for me is the fact that they forgot my calzone, which took about 10 minutes to remake. No big deal though. It's clearly family own and run. Everybody is an authentic Italian! And it's super popular with locals from what I've seen. My only knocks are that the prices are pretty high and the Neapolitan isn't actually Neapolitan and overall I don't recommend that pizza style. It would be a 4 star review if I only had the calzone. The place is good, but maybe try some other shops near it.

    Take out that we heated up on our pizza stone.

    Great pizza. I picked it up on the way home from work and forgot to take the picture before we already ate a few slices. Unfortunately, we live about a half an hour away in Gouldsboro so it didn't stay hot but the smell in my car on the way home was amazing. I love that the use sliced sausage instead of the crumbled type. I grew up on NY pizza growing up (I joined the Army in 1983 and haven't lived there since). Trust me, this is real NY pizza. The garlic knots were awesome too. Nice olive oil mixed with garlic and parsley. I highly recommended Brother Bruno's.

Kids got their food 30 minutes before the adults, so they were finished by the time the adults' food arrived. Inaccuracies, even after taking so long. Way too salty, some things pre-prepared/reheated (chicken parm especially egregious) but still arrived cold. "100 layer lasagna bolognese" was literally a generic mountain of basic salty meat sauce with a little linguine. It's garbage. They know it. They think that giving you a bucket of it will make up for it. It does not. At least it was hot, which is apparently a bar they typically are unable to reach. Waiter was MIA. Food service was wandering with dishes, unaware of what table they were going to. Especially frustrating when you've been waiting an hour for your order. Our large group was promised a full table in a room. They sat us at two awkward, separate tables in the middle of the restaurant. This is while we can clearly see multiple, empty rooms during our entire 2 1/2 hour time there. They claim the food is authentic Italian. It was so bad all around, that if I was Italian, I'd be offended. Overpriced slop.

I'd absolutely include it because it reinforces the theme: the product was excellent; the hospitality and pacing killed the experience. The food was honestly the best part of the night -- a solid 4.5/5. Unfortunately, the overall experience was nowhere near what we expected from a restaurant at this price point. We started with the calamari, which was excellent. The giardiniera with it was an unexpected flavor combination that I loved. They also brought out an enormous loaf of fresh-baked Asiago bread with butter -- way more than two people needed, but damn, it was good. Both came out within minutes of ordering. We also ordered the cherry-smoked Old Fashioneds, and they were fantastic. Probably one of the best things we had all night. The presentation was really impressive: instead of simply smoking the glass, the cocktail arrived inside a glass box filled with smoke. The server placed it in front of us and we opened the door ourselves, letting the smoke roll out around the drink. Really cool presentation, and the cocktail tasted every bit as good as it looked. The problem? It took nearly 30 minutes to get them. They were so good I absolutely would have ordered a second round, but after waiting that long for the first one, we weren't willing to chance it. That's a missed sale and, more importantly, a missed part of the experience. In fact, we had finished our calamari before our drinks ever arrived. From the time we were seated, it took close to 10 minutes for our server to return for our drink and appetizer order, and then nearly another 30 minutes for the cocktails -- even after we reminded her. Our server was very sweet, but the interaction felt extremely scripted rather than genuine. We heard essentially the exact same questions and phrases repeated word-for-word at the tables on either side of us. She was also very slow getting back to us throughout the meal. For dinner, we shared the ribeye and Caesar salad because we were hoping to save room for dessert -- it was my birthday. The steak was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. At $60, it was exactly what I expected it to be. The Caesar was huge and very good. Everything we ate was delicious, although the food presentation felt surprisingly basic for the type of restaurant Double Cut positions itself to be. The bigger disappointment started before we even sat down. When we arrived, there were several people waiting and no host anywhere in sight. Multiple employees walked past carrying to-go orders without acknowledging anyone or even saying someone would be right with us. Because the entrance also serves Red's Piano Bar, we actually started wondering whether we were even in the right place. When the host finally appeared, there was no hello, no smile, no welcome. Just, "Do you have a reservation?" We gave him our name and were told, very matter-of-factly, that we would have to wait a few minutes. Five minutes later, he returned and led us directly into Red's Piano Bar. That was not what we had reserved. We specifically made a reservation at Double Cut for a quieter, elevated birthday dinner. Instead, we were being seated in a loud bar with red lighting, TVs on the walls and a table just feet from the bar. When we explained that our reservation was for Double Cut, we were told it was the same menu and that if we didn't sit there, we would have to wait considerably longer. So we sat. And frankly, that pretty much took the air out of the evening. Brian had planned a nice, romantic birthday dinner for me. Instead, we were sitting in a bar booth while he tried not to watch the baseball game playing on the TVs. It felt more like sitting in the bar area of a Chili's -- except without the Chili's hospitality or Chili's prices. Even the person who delivered our steak simply asked us to cut into it, said "enjoy," and walked away. No smile. No warmth. Completely transactional. Needless to say, we didn't stay for birthday dessert. We ate what we had ordered, paid the bill and left. The frustrating part is that the kitchen and bar are clearly doing a lot right. The food was genuinely very good, and that cherry-smoked Old Fashioned was outstanding. But at this price point, you're not just paying for a steak and a great cocktail. You're paying for hospitality, atmosphere, pacing and an experience. That part missed the mark by a mile.

The service has always been top notch when we were there. The food is always outstanding. Donald is the best waiter in the world ... he deserves a raise !!!!!! Everytime we are there he has made our night! The only reason I did not give it the 5 stars is because recently they changed the menu and we did prefer the old one better.

    To start off, this restaurant requires a reservation. The same can be said about the steakhouse. I…read moredon't believe any exceptions are made. Although a nice feature is that you can reserve a table and available time through the Mount Airy website, which links you to a commonly used site called OpenTable. As a quick note, if you are a seafood lover with Italian food, then this may be your place to be. Unfortunately I am not a seafood fan, but I thought that there were still enough menu options to try this restaurant out. To start off, our waiter was not very knowledgable about the menu or drinks they offer. Not only this, he never offered to ask a manager or even a more experienced waiter/waitress about the menu. For a small place with very many employees just standing around, this should have not been an issue. The restaurant itself was very nice, but pretty small. It actually seemed like the spaced allotted to the restaurant was shared with the steakhouse. If you combined the size of the steakhouse and this Italian restaurant, you would have a nice sized restaurant. After we finally sorted out the drinks and menu, since there was olive oil and seasoning on the table, we thought we would be treated to bread as you normally are at Italian restaurants. Well besides the bread taking forever to come, we had to serve the olive oil and seasoning ourselves and we were only given the option to choose 1 piece of bread each off of a tray. The bread was warm and delicious, but I would have liked to enjoy more than one piece! I had to actually ask for another piece of bread to be brought over. I never thought I would go to an Italian restaurant that had bread rationing. Not only this, I've had better service at Carabba's or even the Olive Garden and they are not even considered fine dining! Next, it took almost an hour of waiting for our food to be delivered. Sitting in front of the kitchen, I could not find an excuse for this since the chefs were basically just standing around the entire time. Thankfully we were given our desert for free without contest for the wait. However, the excuse was lame and was blamed on a party of 12. So I guess do not visit this restaurant on a busy day! When our food finally came, we were unimpressed with the food for something considered "fine dining" where you should be given crafty and flavorful food, especially for the prices! This was not the case. The food was nothing more than average with little flavor at all. Where the fine dining aspect comes in is on the plate size. Definitely small portions compared to most other Italian restaurants. Overall, very disappointed with this restaurant. For the price of our bill, we would have been much better off at the buffet.
