The pizza is excellent and cheesy, the deluxe fries are the best you can find in Berks. It always feels homey and familiar in a good way yet always fresh with decorations and clean inside of Amato's.

The service was great and I was thankful we got in because I know they are still extremely busy. My friend and I got chicken parm entree with salad and spaghetti.

Our meals were sizable and ranged from excellent (broiled haddock, Alfie's special) to decent but not over-the-top (penne with shrimp in vodka sauce). The fresh bread was tasty too. The restaurant has extensive and truly beautiful decor. If they don't exemplify the concept of holiday spirit, then I don't know what would! LOVED the decor and vibe of the restaurant, even more than the food or the service.

Snuzzle's offers great value for the money…read more While they're best known for their pizza, stromboli, and wings, don't sleep on the buffalo shrimp--they're surprisingly fantastic and a must-try. I also really appreciate the mid-century vibe, with all the warm wood accents adding a cozy, retro charm to the space. The only drawback? It's cash-only, so be sure to hit the ATM beforehand.

What an amazing place! Almost drove right by it not even a sign saying what it was…read more Very nice server that helped figure out what to order, however didn't warn us how huge everything was. The Stromboli Stromboli was gigantic and very good but was blown away by the Clams Casino pizza. On the pizza everything was in perfect balance and there was plenty of everything. Tons of tender clams, crispy bacon, it was just awesome. Even cold the next day it was outstanding.

The main guy Franco, was an excellent host and you can tell just by sitting there lots of regulars know him by name and he's extremely well-versed in options to suggest. As a result, I ended up getting the zuppa di mare and a Moscow mule, both of which were fantastic and will definitely be back!

It was very busy on the Friday night we went with friends, so reservations are a good idea. Getting seated was a bit chaotic, as the same area is used for both takeout and dine-in.

While working in Allentown, PA this week, a local coworker recommended this spot, and I'm so glad…read morewe checked it out. We visited on a Wednesday evening and were seated immediately, as there was only one other table occupied when we arrived. The restaurant offers plenty of seating both indoors and out on the patio. Since it was hot and raining, we chose to dine inside. The interior is beautifully designed with a cozy, authentic Italian feel that adds to the overall dining experience. Our server was friendly and welcoming, greeting us right at the door and returning quickly to take our drink orders. The menu is extensive--there are tons of options to choose from, which made it tough to decide. I ended up ordering the Spicy Fried Chicken Jalapeño Sandwich with a side of fries. I enjoy spicy food, and this sandwich absolutely delivered. The jalapeño sauce was rich, flavorful, and one of the best I've ever had. The bread tasted freshly baked--possibly even house-made--and really elevated the entire sandwich. The fries were standard, but they came out hot, crisp, and well-seasoned. Overall, this was a great dining experience. The food, service, and atmosphere were all on point. I'll definitely be saving this spot for future visits and look forward to exploring more items from their massive menu.

Folino Winery offers a spacious tasting room with an attached gift shop and an impressive variety…read moreof wines, including Barbera and Cabernet Franc. Amanda, who guided my tasting, was courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable as she poured my selections and chatted about the different profiles. In general, the wines are lighter as compared to California wines. I didn't have any wine that I didn't like here. The tasting was $15 and bottles varied from $18 on up. Definitely moderate prices. The day was cloudy and cold, so I didn't explore the outdoor area, but it looked like a pleasant space for warmer weather. I visited only the tasting room and did not check out the restaurant. I took home a couple of bottles, including one of their sangria-style wines that caught my curiosity. I'm looking forward to pairing it at home and sharing it with guests. Folino is a nice stop if you're exploring the Jim Thorpe area in the Poconos of Pennsylvania. Thank you for your friendly hospitality!

Elite-worthy impromptu date night…read more Folino Estate Winery absolutely delivered from start to finish. We jumped into a blind wine tasting featuring six wines--three whites and three reds--complete with a fun guessing sheet that made the experience interactive and playful. Kenzie was a standout host: knowledgeable without being stuffy, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the winery. She shared great insight into the wines and Folino's story while keeping the tasting relaxed and fun. Huge thanks to her for setting the tone for the night. We stayed for dinner afterward and the food was excellent. From the appetizers to the entrées, everything was delicious and beautifully prepared. Pair that with the stunning scenery and it made for an ideal date-night atmosphere. Shoutout to our waitress Morgan A, who was attentive, friendly, and handled everything with ease and always with a smile. Thoughtful experiences, great service, and a gorgeous setting, this is exactly why Folino Estate earns its Elite stamp. Already looking forward to our next visit .

Valentino's is right on 222 so we didn't have to leave the highway and it's easy to get back on. They do have gf options. I could get any personal pizza with the cauliflower crust. I opted for the veggie one. Broccoli, onions, peppers, mushrooms and tomatoes. With real mozzarella! Stretchy and delicious. Yum! My husband got the beef wrap with fries and cole slaw. All was tasty and enough for two meals. Total price before tip was $35. It's old style Italian yet very clean. Service was fast and friendly. I definitely recommend this place!

My experience at this restaurant was appalling. I ordered a burger and the rest of my family…read moreordered pasta. The pasta was wet and soggy and mushy. My mother only ate the shrimp out of her order, and my sister only had two bites of her pasta until we had enough. Our waiter came over and asked and I quote "how da food taste" I very badly wanted to say not good. But the sincere look in his eyes made me say it was good. After that, I noticed our waiter. Our waiter had his long hair dragging, and even touched our garlic bread not once BUT TWICE! I noticed after I ate the garlic bread and realized I might have eaten a piece of this man's hair. I will never come here again. I hope the best for this place!

Then they had no cold water so when I grabbed the 20 oz cups for ice the lady yelled at me and made me get the little styrofoam cups instead! I guess they're trying to save money which I understand but keep your waters cold!! Not to mention when I was in line waiting to order the cashier was having a full blown conversation about some apartment and rent?! Who knows but I felt like I was interrupting their conversation! Never will return. It sucks cause every restaurant in this area sucks.

It was my first time in Hamburg (not including Cabellas) and we were looking for a place to sit down and eat. Russo's was right there near the antique shops we were investigating so we went inside. I liked the restaurant it was clean, bright and welcoming. The delicious smell of Italian cooking was pleasant and made me that much more hungry! If you could bottle and sell that aroma you'll be rich! I ordered a medium pizza with sausage. The sausage was sweet sliced Italian sausage and I liked it a lot! The pizza sauce was delicious too! It wasn't super sweet like red top but was sweeter than I usually have. Well I really loved it!! The dough was chewy yet crisp at the bottom and I liked the consistency. The girl who took our order at the register was very sweet, friendly and bubbly. You order at the register and sit where you want- they'll bring the food to the table then you'll clear your table at the end of the meal. It works if you don't have waitress service. Great Choice. The menu is pretty large too. Entrees, sandwiches, etc.
