I was recently back in NEPA for a few days, and naturally, a visit to PAZZO was at the top of my…read moreto-do list. When I lived here, this was my go-to spot for amazing Italian food, warm hospitality, and excellent service, all served up with a dash of that Agolino family magic. (Spoiler alert: nothing has changed, and that's a beautiful thing!) The moment I walked in, I was greeted by Chef Sam Agolino himself, and it felt like running into an old friend. He hasn't aged a day (what's his secret?!). I met up with a buddy--another die-hard PAZZO fan--and we settled in for a night of catching up over some truly mouthwatering dishes. Our server was top-notch, giving us plenty of time to chat and reminisce without feeling rushed. Since I was driving, I didn't indulge in one of PAZZO's famous cocktails, but was happy to see that non-alcoholic beer was available. The menu still had some of my old favorites, which made it impossible to choose (in the best way). We kicked things off with salads and two orders of their legendary meatballs. Let me tell you--those meatballs are something I'd order every time I visited and tonight they were just as I remembered them - perfectly seasoned, tender, and absolutely divine. For the main event, I went with the Vitello Neapolitan: breaded veal and eggplant layered with fresh mozzarella over pasta. The veal was melt-in-your-mouth tender, the pasta perfectly al dente, and the sauce? Chef's kiss perfection. My friend opted for the orecchiette pasta and raved about every bite. By the time dessert rolled around, we were so full we couldn't even think about it. Dinner at PAZZO had me questioning all my life choices--like why I ever left NEPA in the first place. But then I stepped outside into the freezing Pennsylvania air and remembered why I traded snow boots for flip-flops in Florida. Still, great Italian food like this is hard to find down south, and PAZZO makes me miss it every single time. The Agolino family has been a culinary staple in NEPA for decades, and it's easy to see why people keep coming back. Chef Sam, Corinne, and the entire team--thank you for an unforgettable evening! If you're in the area and haven't experienced PAZZO yet, stop reading this and GO. - Would move back to PA (temporarily) for the meatballs.

First the good: the food is amazing! Handmade pastas are out of this world. Entrees top notch…read more Desserts are on point. That olive cake is to die for. The bad: this point has to do with their automatic gratuity system. Nothing to do with the kitchen. I am not sure if anything over a party of 4 gets automatic tip, but it falls apart here: the bottle list. We ordered a bottle of wine. $115. Total cost with tax and gratuity is $143. That's $27 over the cost of the actual bottle. Or a 20% tip roughly. And they probably calculated the tip post tax. Had I known that I would not have ordered a bottle. Now for the arguments of "serving a bottle involves some labor that should be compensated ". Let's do the math. The cheapest bottle they have is 60$. If you were to charge gratuity and tax on this bottle it would be $76.20. That's only $16.30. Not a bad price right? Given the service of opening said bottle and pouring it. BUT... The most expensive bottle they have is $360. If you order that bottle, you will be paying an extra $97.20. That is a huge markup. And if I'm missing something, tell me how the service on a $360 bottle is different than the service on a $60 bottle. Does the server come out with a little song and dance for the more expensive one justifying an additional $97.20 on a $360 bottle of wine? Do you realize how absurd this is? My guess is that the owners don't realize the point I'm trying to make- to give them the benefit of the doubt. That is the best situation. The worst is if the owners know this, and are fleecing the customers. I'd like to believe this is not the case. To sum up: go for the food. Order wine by the glass. DO NOT order bottle service. You will be in for a nasty surprise. The average markup for A bottle of wine is 3x the amount in a restaurant. Retail my bottle was $45. I know this. And if it's $115, that's fair. After all the restaurant makes more money on liquor sales than food. I'm okay with that. But what I find reprehensible is that they charge a service fee on top of that. Which by my calculation is 20%. Therein lies the fallacy. The same 20% charge is applied to the cheapest to most expensive bottle. The effort made to open and serve said bottles are exactly the same! They don't disclose this practice to the patrons. I've run this by multiple people I know. They all say this practice is shady as hell. Enough said, go for the food. Don't get a bottle of wine.

Since Valentine's Day was on a Saturday this year, we opted for a Thursday night celebration, and…read moremost places weren't offering a special dinner outside of their weekend reservations. We were lucky enough to score a romantic, private booth at Grico's and they were offering their Valentine's menu as far out as Thursday. There was a perfect pace to our meal, and the drinks were noticeablely delicious. The appetizers were flavorful but still light; no heavy breading on the clams casino, really nicely seasoned and the jumbo lump crab cocktail was so fresh I just opted for a squeeze of lemon. The salads were incredible; the croutons on the Caesar were crisp and airy, the toasted pine nuts with the arugula salad added that crunch that some salads are missing. It would have been an epic meal even if it had to end there, but the entrees delivered as well. The massive portion of Seafood Fra Diavolo (shrimp, scallops, calamari and clams in spicy marinara over linguine) had my fiance packing leftovers, and the only reason I didn't finish my meal was to have another crack at this savory peppercorn encrusted bone-in pork shank beauty the next day. Rested on a mushroom brandy cream sauce, with broccoli and oven-roasted crispy seasoned potatoes, every bite smothered in that sauce was delicious. We felt like, for what we got, it was an excellent value and items were appropriately priced; staff were very welcoming and had great, honest and personal recommendations to help us decide between all the great menu options. This is basically seafood-forward Italian dining done right, with top-notch cocktails in an inviting atmosphere...we'll most certainly be back!

Today we are going to…read morePrimo Hoagies where they just recently opened a store in Pittston in the Walmart Parking lot over near Pet Supplies Plus. Now walking in this was a very clean establishment where I was greeted by an employee asking how he could help me. This guy was very helpful explaining the menu, I was looking for a 12 inch where he explained that they do not have that size, I was offered a 6, 9, or 24 inch hoagie. I asked for the 9. I got a Primo Italian with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and I asked mayo no dressing. He asked my name for the order, and I sat down, I heard my name so as I was getting up the young lady brought it over to me. I am going to start believing that this is a very difficult request may no dressing. The last Primo's I went to was about 3 years ago in Edwardsville and they gave it to me dry, I have not been back to one until today and I get mayo and dressing. Primo's you were doing really well until I tasted dressing. Now I will say in their favor it was a nice, thick hoagie, the bun was between soft yet on the crisp side, I also found out as time went on you can order seedless for some sizes of their buns. I also liked that they shred the lettuce, my tomatoes were juicy, the pickles were thick and other then the dressing it was a great tasting Italian. Definitely a 4 out of 5, now you may be asking it's just dressing, well here is the thing, that's not the point, the point was that there was no communication between the one who took the order to the one who made it. I did enjoy this hoagie; I do want to go back to try some of their hot hoagies like maybe the meatball. Now Pittston does have a couple places where you can get hoagies, but one closes at 5:30 and the other 7:00 so if you are craving a hoagie after 7ish you can come here. I like that they have later hours. Well, I wish this Primo's good luck in 2025. Thanks for watching this video, like and subscribe if you like my content.

Each time, the food was disappointing. We always ordered takeout, and the noodles were consistently stuck together and kind of runny. The gnocchi was especially unpleasant, the sauce tasted sour and off, which completely ruined it. Comparing the sizes of the gnocchi as well, you can go somewhere else and get bigger pieces for the same price or less. While the pricing is pretty standard for similar places, the quality just doesn't justify it. The food simply doesn't taste good. I don't plan on coming back again, especially if I am looking for a genuinely good pasta dish.
