Would have never made it here had not the receptionist at the hotel raved about it. They didn’t disappoint! I wish I could give more stars.

Awesome food! The prices are reasonable considering the cost of dining in 2026. However you should not come here if you are looking for a fancy dining experience. They only had 2 servers running a whole dining room when I was there. Understandably, the service was rushed but not bad! Also, it was chilly in the restaurant in the middle of December. Another thing to keep in mind if you're looking for a high level of comfort while eating.

Food is pretty good, but it's hard to overcome their terrible service.
This is great Old Forge style pizza if you don’t want to venture into Old forge for it.

Have neen going there for years!! As usual, the pizza, ( double crust white, and red), are delicious. I hosted a convention 4 years ago. For dinner, we reserved a space. 30+ people, thousand dollar dinner. Worth every cent. People from Kansas, etc never tasted old forge pizza. The pizza, plus regular Italian dinners, WOWED the crowd. Excellent.... STILL.
One of my favorite places in NEPA. Pizza is amazing

This place has gone downhill. I don’t know if the original owners sold but the place is empty. They had no wine or cocktails, the pizza was cold, they were out of fresh tomato pizza,and our antipasto was served after we finished our pizza. They even ran out of take out containers. I don’t think we’ll be returning and we were regulars. Very sad.
Good food, friendly service, nice atmosphere

Colarusso’s Café has always been a favorite of ours. When we lived in the area 20 years ago, we went often for both lunch and dinner. It’s a cozy Italian restaurant with a true hometown feel, and everything on the menu is excellent. The pizza has always been our favorite, so on a recent visit back we stopped in for a tray, it was just as good as we remembered! Warm atmosphere, friendly service, and food that never disappoints.

Waited over an hour to pick up 3 hoagies after the pick up time. Opened the Italian hoagie and it looked like a veggie hoagie.
2 pieces of meat and no cheese. The other 2 hot hoagies were all bread. I've never been so disappointed. Hoagies from convenience store would've been better. Do your self a favor and stay away from this sadly run and cheap place of a restaurant.

Oh my God! I don’t know where to start! This place is so weird and terrible! Our waitress was fantastic, until she came to fill our glasses with more water…the pitcher of water had a fly in it, and she didn’t even flinch! We ordered a pizza, who can screw that up? calarussos can! It had the appearance of being pizza, and the illusion of being fresh and hot. Upon first disgusting bite, it was like an old dirty crouton had been enlarged, flatten out and covered with something red to resemble sauce, and guess what? IT WAS COLD! No idea how a restuaraunt could master such mystery! The whole experience was absolute insanity! So gross! So super duper gross!
