Had an absolutely fabulous dinner at The Ridge Restaurant last night! Started with the creamy Potato Leek Soup - perfectly seasoned and so comforting. Then dove into the Sunday Sauce special... wow, just like Nonna's - tender meatballs, sausage, beef & pork and that rich, slow-cooked gravy over penne pasta. Both dishes were delicious and beautifully prepared! Shoutout to our amazing server Alana and assistant Ebony - you two were attentive, friendly, and made the evening even better. Bonus points for being the first place that's ever thoughtfully packaged our leftovers into a go-box for us right at the table. What a nice touch! Highly recommend - we'll be back soon! #TheRidgeRestaurant #ItalianFood #GreatService read more

Good food , good service , prompt seating , reasonable prices , nice atmosphere to dine in . Also have take out as well

Everything was Excellent! We went there for the first time and experienced the Early Bird Menu. Food was plentiful and excellently presented. Delicious Italian bread and flatbread crackers with roasted garlic and oil. House salad was lightly dressed and served in chilled bowls. Each entree was enough for two, maybe three. All sauces and gravies on food were delicious. Mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables-zucchini and tomatoes were really good. Oh, forgot to mention the appetizers- calamari was also good and portion was good; Hot Antipasto was delicious as well- clams, mussels, shrimps, stuffed artichokes and eggplant rollatini ! Coffee and mini cannoli's to finish off. We had to wrap up most of the food to enjoy tomorrow. Service was super. Riley was a great server. Her support staff were good too. It was a bit noisey in the back room but not a big problem. Music was nice.to listen to while eating. I would have liked if the Manager stopped by the table so I could have complimented him/ her. Will return when we come back up here next spring. read more

Everything was perfect. The staff, the ambience & the food! Delicious! The portions are very generous along side an included salad & bread with roasted garlic dipping sauce so be careful if you don't have a place for leftovers. We started with an appetizer of crab & lobster stuffed mushroom caps and could have stopped there. Of course we continued with veal parmigiana & veal franchise. So much food, & so delicious. They don't rush you out the door, so relax & enjoy. Highly recommend. read more

This was the best meal we've had in a while. My husband and I got two dishes to share -- Morgan's Jam and Crab and Lobster Stuffed Shrimp -- and both were delicious (and were generous portions, too). Our waitress was kind and helpful, and the dining room was really relaxing and pretty with its low light and intimate setting. Would definitely return if we're ever in the area! read more

The next time you find yourself in Hawley, PA, stop in for dinner at The Ridge. It is a must do for a meal for sure. The service is top notch, especially when you are seated in Alana's section. Definitely come hungry as the portions are healthy. We loved the veal parm and stuffed shells, also the shrimp asparagus and pasta! Leave room for dessert, all great options. Whether you sit in the bar area or the main dining room, you are in for a treat, beautifully appointed rooms with history. Well done! read more

Awesome restaurant. Service was great, waitress was so nice and the food was delicious! Wife got salmon and loved it and I had the Sunday sauce which was absolutely delicious! read more

This restaurant is consistently GREAT! Food quality is outstanding, portions are large and the wait staff is very attentive, even when the restaurant is very busy. There are daily dinner, drink and sometimes dessert specials. There is on street 'metered' parking all around the downtown area. The meatball appetizer is fantastic. We like the pasta & chicken dishes the best, although; I have had the steak & veal chop and chicken scarpiello specials, which were all OMG delicious. The only criticism that we might have is the price. This is definitely a 4 $$$$ establishment. But keep in mind; good food is not always cheap and cheap food is not always good. We dine here at least once a month. Please give it a try, I doubt that you & your guests will be disappointed. read more

If you're going to charge $48 for a steak dinner, it should be cooked the way it is ordered. My husband ordered the prime ribeye, and it came out splattering grease everywhere to the point he had to hold up a napkin so he wasn't burned. Then, when he went to cut it, it was burnt to the plate. The waitress did not seem to care that he couldn't get it off the plate. The little bit he was able to eat, was so over cooked (he ordered it medium) that he didn't enjoy any of it. He left half the steak on his plate. The ambiance was nice, and my GF pasta was good, but the steak ruined the experience for both of us. Will not recommend or be back. read more

The good: Great food as always, generous portions and always consistent quality. The bad: bartender should not wipe his nose then rearrange the lemons without washing his hands. Also don't stand over me as I'm eating my meal. Stand in front of an unoccupied bar stool. Bring Morgan back to the front of the house. She is phenomenal. read more

amazing fabulous staff, huge portions I really don't get their recipes as an Italian descendent who has been to Italy numerous times who loves to cook and frequent Italian restaurants I really don't get their recipes Veal milanese with a liquid floating at the bottom of the dish doesn't make any sense. Zuppa De pesce had so much overcooked fish- hard as a rock. read more

The food at this Italian restaurant is absolutely memorable--delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and worth savoring. That said, be prepared to settle in for the long haul. We were there for over two hours, and while I appreciate a relaxed dining experience, this really tested our patience. Nothing felt rushed... if anything, it felt like time stopped. Great food, but plan accordingly. read more

Food service was awesome , fairly priced with food quality being top shelf . Early bird specials are definitely worth the time and money !

What a nice dining experience! Warm, inviting , and food is DELICIOUS! homemade sangria was so good! The caesar salad was perfection , best I've had in a long time . warm bread w/ a dish of warm oil infused garlic to start .. veal francese was light and tender . My husband got veal parmigiana w/ stuffed shells with a bit of vodka sauce and he enjoyed it ...definitely will have take home and the busboy comes and packs it for you . Service was so nice ... Sinatra playing in the background ... just a relaxing special place !!! read more

This restaurant is hands down one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever eaten at. The staff were extremely friendly, efficient and helpful to the tables and each other! We were sat in the bar area so it was a little noisy but still a very enjoyable atmosphere. Food was outstanding- everything fresh, portions were perfect and price was fitting for the quality. Cannot wait to return next time we are visiting the area! read more

Right in my town and one of the best restaurants I've been to. You absolutely have to give it a go . Also, try their earlybird special on Wednesday and Thursday nights 4:30-6:00. EXCELLENT read more

Amazing experience. The service was very attentive, professional, and the food was excellently prepared and balanced. We ate during the early bird special and the timing between each course was perfect. GREAT JOB!!! read more

We didn't sit down but the food was good and the portions were big. It's good Italian for a small town. The service is nice the people were helpful but it was just a bit slow maybe because it was a Saturday night for dinner. The ambiance was interesting I've never been to a restaurant with a hotel upstairs. It was build like a house. But the hostess and takeout person were extremely friendly! read more

Food was always amazing, service is still impeccable. Last visit was disappointing however. $55 steak was veiny and tough. The filet portion was good, but the rest was of poor quality. Mussels were excellent. Back room is as cold as a witch's tit in a brass brazier, as my grandmother would say. read more

food is good but don't go if your in a rush. long wait between bread, appetizer, salad then entree so far 2 hours here still have lot received our meal. read more

Went recently for the first time and was not disappointed, The Ridge lives up to the hype. We had 3pm reservations, and there was a line waiting to get in. Duffy, our server, was amazing. The food was superb. I would recommend this highly. read more

I went here for a work dinner and I was very surprised. The atmosphere was more on the fancy side. I got the Mozzarella Milanese, Penne alla vodka with a chicken cutlet on the side and the house salad. The waiter that took care of us was very nice and attentive. The rainbow cookie cake I got for desert was delicious as well. read more

We went this evening for the first time. We have heard so many good things, and we were not disappointed!! The ambiance was beautiful/cozy, our waitress Brianna was amazing and went over and beyond to make our dinner great! Her service was A+, she even surprised us with a happy anniversary cannoli. The portions are huge and you will more than likely have lunch the next day, but who would complain about that! We are so happy to have discovered this local gem ourselves! Make sure you call for a reservation as this place fills up quick. read more

Reminds me of all the great Italian restaurants of my youth. The food is good and big portions as expected. It's besides the bar but it doesn't feel like it's there. It felt like a restaurant with a lot of conversations happening around you. The service was good and they stopped by several times to check in on us. read more

Key observations: 1) Reservations in advance are a must 2) While not advertised as "family style" the portions are large...really large. All four of us took home leftovers 3) Take your time and enjoy, like a classic Italian family meal that runs for hours First time in, and managed to get reservations for 7:45 on a Sunday (called at 4pm). We arrived about 7:20 and the place was packed upon arrival, but the four of us grabbed two bar seats from diners who got seated. We spent the next 1/2 hour enjoying some cocktails and a nice bottle of 2013 Masi Amarone ($85 - a good value). Wine list offered a range of good choices, just would prefer vintages to be printed on the list...my only nitpick We were lucky enough to get a server we all knew from another 5 star venue! Was good to see Jordan and catch up! He did a great job. The menu is chock full of tasty choices, and there are a number of specials. In a unique twist (we liked this), the server sits down at your table and walks you through the details. Warm bread is delivered to your table with a plate of olive oil, parmesan and red pepper flakes for dipping. The table has a bottle of EVOO and a bowl of grated cheese as well. Thankfully (as we knew not of the portion size) we only ordered one appetizer (calamari) to share. We each ordered an entree - steak topped with crab, monkfish & shrimp over pasta with capers & cherry tomatoes, and two Sunday Gravy. Check out the pics of these platters - yes platters, not plates. Roughly half leftover for each of us. Food was terrific, service great throughout (water filled, wine poured, etc). Dessert was not a possibility given our diminished capacity! Great job all around! read more

Decided to try the Ridge. We were not disappointed. The service was on point. Our server was Dani, who had notable experience of 4 years there. The food was served in a timely fashion and was enjoyed by all. The overall ambiance of the location made you feel that you transported back to the early 1900's but enjoyed the modern day era. We had the Penni alla vodka, veal parmigiana, & calamari for dinner followed by the lemon cello marscapone along with the chocolate trilogy. A must try if you get the chance. A fresh hot loaf of bread was served along with the house salad which were delicious. read more

Food was very good and so was the service and reasonable prices. Also it was close to our Cottage in Greeley

The Ridge, Located in the Hotel Belvidere Building, is in my opinion, the most evenly--paced, organized, great-tasting food, and superb staff in all of an NEPA. EXCEPTIONAL on all accounts and the entrée portions are huge and prices are ridiculously low. As Covid wanes, the owners did not Keystone their prices like many of the other restaurants I've come in contact recently. Dress code is very casual, as to the area of Lake Wallenpaupack, which is possibly the largest man-made lake in the USA. My friend and I were extremely impressed. We had a Burrata salad with home-grown tomatoes and prosciutto. We also opted for Linguine Mare Mondo a huge portion of pasta, shrimp, mushrooms, spinach in Pinot Grigio all bathed in a tomato Brodetto (a fish stew in tomato sauce). You will wait for your meal cuz everything is made to order. Don't eat here if you have to go to a show after dinner unless you allow ample time. Reservations are strongly recommended. Another plus is you are not dining on top of other diners, tables are nicely spread apart. Kudos to Morgan-barkeep Kara-server Anthony-bussing read more

To begin,we will return. It was a sunday evening and it was busy. I began with an app. If clams oreganato. Good portion and most delicious. We both had Old fashion cocktails which were very good. My entree was linguini LA fontana and my husband ordered a sunday special of seafood pescatorre. Bread basket was served with a roasted garlic olive oil. The portions of food were massive. I can eat left overs for two days my husband had leftovers as well. They have their "famous"Sangria. It is very good. As for the service, it was good but as I sat watching the other servers I felt we didn't get the attention others did. We were a party of 2. No room for desert, maybe next time. All in all a good place to dine for Italian. Oh,one more thing,the Ravioli are cheese. Disappointed husband because that's what he wanted. The food comes out steaming hot. Loved that. read more

We ate at The Ridge last week for the first time since the new owners took over. I have a gluten intolerance, so dining out in a new place is always a bit scary for me. But everything was wonderful! The waitperson was friendly and she reassured me that the chef was very aware of gluten precautions. They even have gluten-free pasta, which they assured me was cooked in separate water from their regular pasta. The food was delicious and the portions are very generous. I'm so excited to add this restaurant to my small list of places where I can eat without fear! read more

All in all, one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I've ever had. We showed up without a reservation (on a Wednesday), and our hostess took a moment but let us know while no tables were available, there was a couple at the bar that were about to be seated, so we could have their seats in a few minutes. There were 2 men working the bar - they were exceptionally pleasant and accommodating - we were seated right next to the area where wait staff had to pick up drinks - so actually a bit in there way - and were greeted with smiles and small talk. The food was outstanding and plentiful. (I got the sausage ravioli special and my wife got the eggplant rollatini) but what made the experience so great were the people - I'm an introvert and don't need to be catered to or doted on - what struck me was the respect the staff had for the guests AND each other. The culture of the establishment was one of caring and true hospitality, which was lacking in some of our other experiences we had locally. read more

There in my opinion isn't a better restaurant in the area. Waiter was amazing, actually sat at our table and explained how all food is prepared. I HIGHLY reccomend the Sunday sauce You will not be disappointed! read more

So so food. Quality of the shrimp was like frozen then thawed. Sloooow service. Not worth the price

We have never been disappointed in any way when dining at The Ridge. The food is delicious and plentiful. The service is exceptional. The atmosphere is warm and attractive. The facility is clean and well maintained. Our favorite place to have dinner whether it's just the two of us or along with family or friends. read more
