On our way up to our AirBnB we stopped to pick up dinner knowing the temps weee dropping following first snow. The reviews appeared to be okay so we rolled in and placed an order. Very surprised seeing an Italian restaurant pizza place connected to a bar pool room. Heck, whatever works. Saw a steady stream of folks pickup pies. We ordered chicken Marsala, tortellini and side of meatballs. The meal was just okay, nothing special, no real flavor profile that stood out. Had higher taste expectations. read more

My wife and I LOVE this place! There doesn't seem to be a single "bad" menu item! Something for everyone, and always DELICIOUS. Pizza is outstanding. The Strombolis are exceptional. burgers, wings, hoagies, Cheesesteaks, all fantastic. We could live there.... Now this isn't a place to go for fine dining, you will get paper plates, plastic cups, and have to ask for silverware and condiments....but this place is all about comfort food and a relaxed atmosphere (on the restaurant side) for a reasonable price. Dine in or take out, all perfection. I'm not joking, I was as surprised as you probably are reading this! read more

I ate at the other pizzeria around the corner and someone mentioned this place, so I thought it would be nice to try it out. This place was darker with booth seatings. The pizza tasted good but was too greasy for me. The cheese had a lot of condiments in it. Besides the grease, the crust tasted very good, it wasn't chewy. Both pizzerias have owners that looked unhappy. If I had to pick which one to go to for pizza, it would be the other, the pizza had less ingredients in the cheese and they were cheaper. read more

Def a hole in the wall kinda place. Very dark and bit dingy and very outdated inside but the area is very rural so I don't expect 4 star dining. I gave an extra star bc the fries were good but they made my chicken cheesesteak with cheddar cheese....um ok. Chicken was so bland I hate to saturate in salt and pepper. Pops said his burger was decent but he eats anything. I'll take my chances somewhere else next time:) read more

This is one of very few places to eat near where we stayed in Poconos, so 5 stars for location. They also have beer and cider 6-packs to go, which is great. The food was average. Good enough for grabbing some take out for the family. Everything we had was fine including tuna club, Buffalo chicken sandwich and hoagies. Grilled chicken salad was just lettuce. The munch skins were a little greasier than expected. I thought there would be a bit of potato in the filling. read more

Would like to give this 3.5 but Yelp doesn't allow 3.5. So my crew and I are visiting Jack Frost for snowboarding and this place is 6 minutes from our condo. The menu was in the condo so we assumed it was a recommendation. The crew collectively gave it a rating of high 6 low 7...out of 10. Definitely not as bad as some of the other reviews. I even saw someone said "Italian food not by real Italians". First off rude, secondly there definitely were traditional Italians there. But anyway really not the point lol. So as you can see in the pics it was presented well. We picked it up We ordered 2 cheese pizzas and the dough was really thick . The cheese was fine, pizza could have used more sauce. The chicken does not have any seasoning (we got a 12 piece naked and a 12 piece hot) the naked was not great So make sure to get it hot but it's HOT. Anyway. When not many options in the area and open late this place is totally fine to go to! Get some pizza yall. read more

We were in the bar portion of the restaurant and when we pointed out that it wasn't baked ziti, the bartender said that's what they called baked ziti.

Good pizza (from Philly so I know a decent pie). Big garlic knots (although didn't come w marinara). Has pasta dishes (homemade lasagna, manicotti, stuffed shells; though penne vodka would be nice) that come w salad and garlic knot for $10. HAS BEER TO GO... if you don't feel like going to beef distributor, although Frostys is just up the road ~10 booths. Nicer seating area than Frenchies (2 tables, more for takeout) or Galianos. Decent wine for under $5 a glass. Has bar signs on outside bc is half bar/half restaurant so we almost didn't go bc didn't have menu/website (I posted menu - see pics) but was family friendly and even had homemade cannolis. Even has Philadelphia water ice Service was a bit slow (server does come to table but maybe faster to order up front), but overall a good meal. read more

This is a decent restaurant to choose from, since there is not a wide selection in the area. The food is decently priced and pretty tasty. My biggest down fall was the pizza. There was way too much grease in the two slices I ordered. I was able to finish one slice and couldn't even look at the other. The person I was with had a cheesesteak. I tried their meal and I definitely would have ordered it over mine! Another little issue was the service. We were greeted right away at our table, but once there was a line at the front register, there wasn't a person to be found to take our orders for about ten minutes! read more

Your first impression when you see the restaurant from the exterior is dive. Its attached to a bar. And dives don't usually get 5 stars. They do when they serve classic old favorites like this family restaurant. It's a family serving individuals and families. We met mom, pop, and their little girl. We had a top notch slice of pizza then attempted to complete two plates of a yummy salad followed by two huge plates of eggplant parmesan. As hungry as we were, we finished half of a single huge plate taking the rest home for a large lunch as well as side dishes for dinner. Yummy as Rachell Ray would say. Price was reasonable and family was very nice. For authentic big city Italian food, try this first. Ciao read more

It's located in a small strip near the intersection of 903 and 534. One half is a kid-friendly restaurant and the other half is the pub. Best wings that my wife and I have ever had. I'm not kidding.

Serving garbage?! Anyone writing a good review for this place must/might be related to the owners, check them out. Our food, yes Pizza (and wings) this comment being for the reviewer that said its 'advertised as a pizzeria', was trash. The wings were very over cooked - 'we still joke about the cremated wings, we trashed them without further inspection. The (not NY, NJ, Pa or 'any state') pizza had No flavor, cardboard crust, low coverage on toppings, and accompanied by horrible rude service. Wanting to give a local Pocono place a second chance.... Now twice burned. Second time, cheese steaks, onion rings and fries. Onion rings and fries were wet and limp - get the hint about the ownership. Cheesesteaks were a 'steak-ums' Joke- OMG -more trash. Owner didn't care, as if he was saying 'it was our fault for eating there'. Stay clear. read more

We started out with a Caesar salad to share and knew right then that the servings would be ample! The kitchen was kind enough to split the salad for us between two plates and I'd have thought just half was shareable. But lucky us, plenty to indulge. We absolutely LOVED the dressing but found it a slight tad heavy handed. If we make it back, we'd definitely ask for dressing on the side. But nonetheless we appreciated the authentic Caesar dressing complete with anchovy paste. For entrees we had the penne vodka with sausage and shrimp 360. Both plates were big enough to feed an army and made for nice left overs. But make no mistake, both were delicious! Hit it out of the park, delicious! And beautiful al denté pasta. This meal really hit the spot. Even though we were completely stuffed, we managed to find room for homemade pumpkin cheesecake! I don't say this lightly, but it was hands down the best slice of cheesecake I've ever had. We couldn't stop raving about out it! This is a great restaurant to visit when visiting the Poconos. The setting was elegant in an understated way while being incredibly cozy! I think it would be great for larger groups but also intimate enough for couples.
