Haven’t been here recently but the times I have, I have no complaints. Clean, good service, good menu, etc. I love their penne with vodka sauce with grilled chicken added. I also like the dip they give you for your bread.

I recently ordered takeout from here and was pretty disappointed. I’ve eaten in before and have been pretty happy, so this more of a review for their takeout.
The order was supposed to be ready in 25 minutes. It didn’t come out until 37 minutes. Kind of a pain to sit there almost 15 minutes longer than expected, especially because we ordered right as they opened on a Sunday.
As for the food, the pizza was good and one of the pasta dished was okay. We also ordered a plate of cappelleti and they were not cooked fully. A majority of the pasta was still pretty hard and made for a less than enjoyable meal.
Overall I’d say skip the takeout and eat in. If I did, the review would have been at least a star higher, possibly 2.

We got there around 2 o’clock because we hadn’t eaten breakfast and needed espresso. It ended up ordering lunch and had the angel hair pasta with garlic and olive oil. It was really good. Great prices and friendly staff

Their food is phenomenal! I actually like the chicken parm better than Rossis, and I loooove my Rossis but Colarussos tops their chicken parm w better flavor! Pizza and Pasta PHENOMINAL! But you’ve got to be into Old Forge style pizza this area is known for. Staff was always super nice to me.
Colarussos in Jessup = PHENOM!

I’ve been here many times. Service is usually good-​ish/​mediocre and kind of noisy because they are usually just busy.
I love the white pizza with broccoli and I’m not a white pizza lover to start with. I don’t care for thick crust pizza as a whole, but that one is really great.
The red pizza is ok. I don’t like the sweet tomato paste-​y sauce. Again a thick crust but if you like that style, it’s definitely nice and crispy.
Try the tomato basil pizza cause it’s hit or miss but reaaally good if you get it on an ‘on’ night.
The Antipasta is a good starter and get the pasta capresa … It’s is a fam favorite dinner if you like slightly spicy dishes. They also have a pasta night once a week for like $ 8 including salads.

I have given this place multiple chances because the food is decent. However the service is just atrocious! I will not be going back. The pizza is square and disgusting. They give you bread if you order a meal and it has a great olive oil dipping sauce. The salad is also good. I really have no complaints about the food, other than the pizza. Now, the service is a different story. I’ve gone here about 4 times and each time the service was worse. They give you a menu and take your drink order but take forever to bring your drinks. Then after they take your order you wait quite a while for your meal. But none of this was the worst part. Each time I’ve been here, they take about 30 – 60 minutes to take my credit card after I’ve received the bill! After I get the bill it’s like no one is around anymore! It’s like they’re begging you to walk out with out paying! This has happened every time I’ve gone! I’ve had to ask a bus boy to take it or get the waitress! Ridiculous.

My favorite pizza in the whole world — Plain red or shrimp & peppers. In my opinion it’s better Old Forge style than anything actually in Old Forge. The rest of the food is average; the service is sometimes slow. Your best bet is getting a tray to go.

Love the pizza — been a loyal customer for years — this is the only place that I’ll have sausage on my pizza ’cause it’s so good, and the fresh tomato is also a favorite — try the stromboli too & you won’t regret it!

My family of 4 went and we got 4 dinners and an appetizer and the bill was only $ 64! The food is always excellent and comes out the same everyone. They downsized their menu quite a bit which is sad. There were some things I really likes that are now gone but overall the food is great and cheap. The service was good but not excellent, but then again, who goes to a restaurant for good service. Food and $ is all that matters.

Great Old Forge style pizza. Anti Pasta is excellent as well. Cold beer, what else could you ask for?

This place has gone WAY downhill since the kids took over! Pizza is very inconsistent, and dinners are overpriced for amount of food u get. Dinner salads are a joke as they have cheaped them down to lettuce soaked in oil with black pepper. Not even a tomato on it! Yuck. The sad part is the sauce is really good. They do make everything from scratch and have the best gnocchi…

For the past 2 Tuesday’s my family has gone for the Tuesday Special. On both occasions the staff seemed unable to handle the patrons. This week we complained to a young woman who seemed to be a manger. We did receive an additional discount but I really don’t think that is going to go far enough to solve the problem. The wait staff and their assistants have to change the way they feel towards the paying customers. It seems the children are in charge of the asylum.

Food is ok at best. Service is the absolute worst. They act like they are are doing you a favor waiting on you That’s if you can get them to. Waited 20 minutes to get handed a menu. Another 15 for a drink. You get the message. We. Couldn’t even get someone to give us the bill. We eat out at least 5 times a week. Needless to say we have never been back.

Worst pizza I’ve ever had… not sure why they call toast with cheese on it pizza. Garbage. And it’s not even cheap. Maybe their other food is ok… couldn’t get past the pizza.
