Carrazza’s Italian Restaurant

As a man that comes from the Scranton area, I can honestly say some of the best, most unique pizza in the Poconos! Owner/​staff are very friendly and courteous. I now live close by and this is my go to stop for pizza and pierogie. Bar scene is local and much better than many other touristy spots around here. Stop in for a drink and a meal to see for yourself.

This place used to be much better. The interior is now quite dingy with old, musty-​smelling carpet. There were cobwebs stretching from the decorative twinkle lights to the salt & pepper shakers! We went for the prime rib Saturday night special. Got there around 4:30 only to learn that none of the specials were available until after 5:30. Would be nice if they put that on the sign. The food was ok, nothing special. Such a let down.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve driven by this place.
My thinking is the unique intersection there prevents some cars from easily pulling in, but who knows.
As far as the food and drinks go: it was ok.
Waiter service was slow to non-​existent, like I had to ask THEM to serve me/​us (because we wanted food, too & we sat in the bar AREA, but not at the actual bar).
The calamari was good. We got a few other things and they were good, but since I can’t remember what they were they clearly didn’t leave a lasting impression.
I do remember the bar being limited on certain flavored vodkas, runs, cordials, etc… So I had to limit my drinking to basic stuff vs. More experimental drinks.
They had a full sized dining room, but at 3 pm mid week, when me and the BF went, no one was in there.
I think this place is understaffed, but worth a try.

After driving by Carrazza’s countless times to go to dinner in Stroudsburg or Tannersville we finally decided to give the place a try. I am sorry that we waited so long as it is much closer to where we live and offers the same bar and grille dishes. For our appetizer we had the mussels which were ok but I think we would try another appetizer next time. For entrees I had the grouper which was very good, my boyfriend had the chicken parm which he enjoyed (especially with the fries). Our server was nice and attentive. Overall we enjoyed the food and drinks and will likely be back because the location is so convenient.

3 stars because my drunk girlfriends enjoyed themselves. However my chicken Caesar sandwich you ask? Lacking on chicken and the dressing was MIA! Enough said.

Calling this place a DUMP is kinda unfair to the establishment but they are close to being one. The waitstaff are nice and attentive though. This half restaurant half bar establishment looks really dingy on the inside. The «dining» area is dark and reminiscent of poor people having dinner inside their barn.
Half of the people hated their dinner. The Caesar salad came out really soggy from too much dressing. The fried shrimp platter was more batter than meat. The mussels with garlic was WAY too salty. I wonder if the chef put salt into the dish, because mussels itself are salty. The garlic bread that comes with it was garlicky and toasty. Good to mop off the mussel gravy but again, I wish it wasn’t that salty.
The dishes we liked: the fried mozzarella was OK. My wahoo fried fish was actually good. I think it’s beer battered fish and served with fries. They also have veggie burger and you can ask them to substitute a veggie patty for all the burger dishes listed (eg. you can tell them you want a veggie patty on the mushroom and cheese burger).
I don’t think I will ever come back to this place. Blargh.
