I was visiting the Bushkill area with some family and decided to give Petrizzo's a try. Â We ate an early dinner inside the restaurant and had a few after dinner drinks outdoors on the patio. Â The food was very good. Â Classic Italian. Â Spaghetti & meatballs and lasagna. Â The patio (they call it the Jungle Tiki Bar) is great fun. Â Live music, chilled beverages, nice people, very relaxing. Â Like being on vacation.
Review Source:For the Poconos this is good Italian food. Tasty garlic bread, decent sauce, good not great Veal Parmigiana. If you want Italian food in the Poconos, it's a good place to go. The ambiance as compared to most traditional Italian restaurants definitely leaves something to be desired though.
Review Source:I can't really vouch for the food because all I had was an italian hoagie. I mean you can't really mess that up can you? Â It was a nice getaway to chill out by the bar on a nice summer day. The bartender was friendly and so were the other customers. Â Felt like your neighborhood hangout. Unlike the other reviewers I couldn't imagine going here and expecting a quality or fresh homemade italian meal.... Look at the place! It's a dive bar for heaven's sake. Laughable but I guess some are easily swayed by words on signs. Use your judgement people.
Review Source:Like another reviewer, we both arrived at Petrizzo's very hungry after hiking Bushkill Falls all day.
Great place! Â Excellent food and service. Â I had the seafood bisque and lasagna. Â My girlfriend had the eggpant parm. Â We both enjoyed our meals and left stuffed.
*** Very close to Bushkill Falls Park. Â Great place for lunch. Â They even have a small outdoor Tiki Bar for drinks.
This was undoubtedly the most disgusting Italian food I've ever had. The sauces were all soggy and thin, the ravioli was so over-cooked that it split and fell apart on the fork and it was absolutely tasteless at that! It was supposed to be fresh but it has hard in the middle like it had freezer burn. The Italian bread was obviously reheated over and over and over and over again as it was really hard and just crumbled when you bit it.
This may be a cute place to go for the prom or something for kids who have no clue whatsoever but for a adult resident of the area this place is just a tourist trap with filthy bathrooms and bad, bad food.
I will never go back again. Their menu advertised fresh ravioli and when I got it it was freezer burned. I asked the waiter if the ravioli was really fresh and his reply was "what do you want me to tell you, it's frozen, are you happy?" This once nice mom and pop place has resorted to what is fast and cheap. Don't be fooled, this place is not an authentic Italian place.
Review Source:3.75 stars, rounded up.  We arrived very hungry from our visit to Bushkill Falls.  The restaurant was full, but the hostess took our name and told us that it would be a 15 minute wait.  We waited in the lounge with the other folks and watched the game that was on TV.  After we were seated, the staff nicely took care of us hungry travelers.  We ordered seafood medley over linguini, broccoli and cauliflauer, lasagna, spaghetti and  meatballs.  The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was quite nice.  The veggies were colorful and also cooked perfectly.  For dessert we had the delicious cannolis - the shells were still crispy! - and an apple crisp.  We all left satisfied and ready for our next destination.
Review Source:This New Yorker left super stuffed and I disagree with the first review. We had several dishes with piping hot fresh bread. Plus the soup all were cooked with mama's old italian homemade sauce and great flavor a little overkill if you don't like that sort of thing most New Yawkers like that. The lasanga was the best dish and very filling I find it hard to swallow if anyone thought it was bad. The service was ok nothing really to write home about! A must try when in town......
