Abruzzi Ristorante

I’ve been to Abruzzi restaurant many times with my work family and my actual family! Each time we have gone it has been a spectacular and delicious meal! From the appetizers to the entrées, everything has been consistently Amazing. Some of our favorites are the 1lb mozzarella stick, mussels, meatballs, Caesar salad, Chambersburg Pizza, Chicken Parm, Shrimp Abruzzi actually there are too many to list! The staff has always been so friendly and accommodating, and Anthony is always quite the gentleman making sure to come over to give us hugs, say hello and talk with us! I have recommended this place to so many people and will continue to do so. A great local Italian restaurant, I can’t wait to go back.

We love this restaurant and it has become a favorite of ours in our area. Julia was our server and is the sweetest person and very attentive. We had 4 in our party and had the chambersberg pizza with hot honey, Caesar salad, shrimp abruzzi and chicken parm. All were excellent. High quality food and great service. Give it a try !!!

Had this restaurant pop up in my feed more than once with raving reviews. Decided to bring my mother to try it out with us. We arrived Thursday around 5pm and we're seated immediately. Service was fast and friendly. We started with the calamari, fried to perfection and tender. We were hoping for tentacles but was all rings. Tasty and fresh non the less. We wanted to try the pizza too so this small dinner turned into a feast for kings. We order the small cheese pizza for the table. Crispy with a nice chew to the crust. The sauce was spot on. We all loved it. For main course we order one each of the ravioli (+meatball), chicken parm and "The Shellfather " everything was fantastic. I was hoping for a spicy sauce for the seafood and the chef was very accommodating. Perfect amount of heat. Best dish I've had in a long time. The chicken parm was crispy and tender even with that delicious sauce in top. On point. The ravioli were definitely fresh and the cheese filling was so creamy and full of flavor. The pasta for all the dishes was fantastic and cooked perfectly. That garlic bread.. wow🤌🤌 Portions were great, we had leftovers for dinner the next night. We will definitely be back and I just might have to save room for dessert next time. Thank you for a fantastic experience.

We did Abruzzi for dinner on a Friday night with a group of 10 for a family birthday. I have not been here since it changed ownership but I’m glad we went! They did some fresh paint, trim, new tableware and it really changed the vibe. It has a very nice upscale feel now but nothing pretentious. Staff and service were fantastic. Kudos to them for very prompt service in a packed house but it never felt rushed. The food was great. I ordered pappardelle pasta with grilled chicken, peas and prosciutto. It was delicious. I have never experienced this before, truthfully, but the pasta tasted freshly made and when I asked I was told it was not. I was blown away. I still don’t believe it wasn’t fresh. The same with the pasta in my husband’s “CFD” crab fra diavolo. My brother in law ordered pizza and loved it. My son and my dad got the cheesesteak and they loved theirs. It is BYO which I love. The staff was very accommodating with special orders and changes to the menu items. The portions are huge! Dessert was equally impressive. We did chocolate cake and tiramisu. They were amazing! We will definitely be back!

Great spot for Italian dishes! The 1lb mozzarella stick is a must try! Really nice portions, food is always steaminggg hot and fresh! Service is never an issue with this place i have visited a handful of times an plan on going back! Prices are reasonable

Had dinner Saturday night-of course it was prime time so it was packed but the wait time was reasonable at 30mins-nothing out of the ordinary-ordered the chicken parm and the portion was so big I was able to eat dinner and have lunch for work for three more days. Food was great, server was friendly, cheesecake is also top tier. 10/10 recommend.

From the wings and pizza to the fresh salads, calamari, mussels, and pasta dinners, everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The portions were generous, and every dish was full of great flavor. The owners and staff were both professional and genuinely kind, which made the experience even better. They even went out of their way to lend me a phone charger when I needed one—great service all around. 🍝🍕

I just have to say its my second time there last saturday night and the food is to die for. We started the night with Bruschetta and Clams in red sauce. The Bruschetta is amazing and so flavorful. The clams and sauce , I just wanted to drink it right from the bowl. We then got our main coarses. I ordered the pappadelle fredo and added crab, boy was that a great move, The crab was plentiful lump crab meat and was so fresh and full of flavor. My wife ordered the Colors of Italy. you can see by the pics it does not disappoint. you will see in other reviews about the chairs. They are not as uncomfortable to sit on as people are saying, however I would prefer a different chair. Thats the only reason for lack of 5 stars for atmosphere. The serving staff is super friendly. It turns out our waitress reconized my wife from when she was in grade school. What a great experience, we will definately be going back again and again. The price is very reasonable for what you get also. We got 2 apps and 2 entress, both my app and entree had seafood and it was total 100$. You cant put a price on quality and enjoyment like that. I did not think it was expensive at all for the quality of food and service we received. See you guys again soon. Thank you for a great experience.

A fairly new place in our neighborhood that we have been meaning to try. It is about 515pm on a Wednesday. We are the only diners here. Service was prompt and friendly. It is a BYOB and we brought a nice bottle of Barolo. Had to open it ourselves. Ambiance is Scandinavian airline lounge very spartan. Metal chairs were uncomfortable. But cloth napkins. Menus are hard to read tiny words on a black background. Our server gave a couple of readable take out menus. Light Sinatra tunes were playing. We ordered a small Margarita pie and Nona's bolognese with pappardelle and eggplant parm with Rigatoni. The pizza came timely and was obviously just made. It was quite tasty and had a nice toasty crust. The sauce was very good. My eggplant was very good. Two large pieces of eggplant. Toasty breading and just the right amount of cheese and sauce. The side of rigatoni was large. I could not finish this and brought it home. The portions are very large and could be smaller but who is complaining. My wife loved her meal but was unable to finish even half of it. The enormous meatball was sampled but also brought home. A bit too dense for me but good. They charge a service fee for credit card payments we paid cash. They also do a brisk take out business. This is a nice place with very good northern Italian food. It is also in our neighborhood. I really do not think we need any more Italian restaurants but this place is a great addition. We say Food "a", service "b", ambiance "c", value "a". We will return. Mark & Nancy.

So excited to have this Italian restaurant open up in our town! It's not a chain, but a wonderful family-owned spot. We went on a Saturday night at 7:00 and had a short wait -- which actually made me happy to see how busy they were! It's a BYOB restaurant (always a plus in my book), and the portions are huge! My husband had the Nona's Bolognese, which he really enjoyed -- and he even had enough left over for another meal. I had the Colors of Italy, which was full of flavor and absolutely delicious. They don't serve bread for the table, but we ordered the garlic bread -- and wow, it was amazing! This restaurant is a little off the beaten path, but it's clear they're already building a loyal following. We'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend giving them a try!

Abruzzi Ristorante has a minimalist utilitarian decor offset by an exceptionally rich marinara sauce that bathed my eggplant parmigiana and rigatoni bowl in very flavorful chunky tomato sluree that saw me finish the huge quantity of food, so as not to miss a single drop. Service was friendly and competent from beginning to end. The only thing missing was a basket of crusty Italian bread for mopping up any sauce escaping my fork (although I was very tempted to just use my fingers). 5 Red Gravy Stars for Abruzzi

Worse $80 we ever spent. Flavorless food, and we had to just pay and leave once we saw roaches on the walls and floors.

awesome food and great service. everyone enjoyed! Pizza is fantastic. Definitely recommend.

Great Chambersburg pies. Order was ready at appointed time...piping hot! Will be ordering here from now on.

Let's get one thing straight: Abruzzi's isn't just a restaurant it's a carb-wrapped love letter from someone's Nonna who won't let you leave without a full belly and a guilt trip if you skip dessert. From the moment you walk in, the aroma wraps around you like a weighted blanket made of garlic, basil, and generational trauma. It's warm, it's familiar, and you immediately start wondering if they'd adopt you. The sauce? Oh, the sauce. It clings like your high school ex, except in this case, it's welcome. Rich, slow-cooked, and unapologetically red, it doesn't just sit on the pasta. It *belongs* there. Every twirl of spaghetti whispers sweet nothings to your taste buds while the meatballs soft, seasoned, and about the size of a toddler's fist remind you that sometimes love is marinara-scented. Service is the kind where they remember your name, your order, and the fact that you said you were "trying"not to eat bread... which they ignore anyway and bring you a basket warm enough to melt your resistance. And dessert? If you leave without trying the cannoli or tiramisu, you're committing a crime against happiness. Call it culinary treason. Abruzzi's isn't fancy. It's better. It's that perfect mix of soul, sauce, and sass that makes you feel like you've come home even if your actual home is a microwave and frozen ravioli. Eat here once, and you'll already be planning your next visit before the check arrives. Mangia, my friend. Mangia.

Finally went with the fam to try out Abruzzi Ristorante today. You need to go. That's all I need to say. Just go. The food is phenomenal. Hands down. Main dishes and appetizers ordered between the family, from top to bottom, left to right: CFD (Crab fra Diavolo), Chicken Parm, Drunken Rigatoni with chicken, The Marg pizza, Ravi-oh-love (ravioli), Oh my mozzarella (The 1lb mozzarella "bat"!!!, Holy Ricotta! (THE BEST ricotta and hot honey dip EVER!), and the Balsamic Bruschetta. Everything was incredible! We'll definitely be back!

A nice find. Good Italian food with BYOB is always a bonus. We enjoyed this restaurant, from the very pleasant greeting to a pleasant helpful server. My go-to is eggplant parm and their's was one of the best I've had. Fried crispy with fresh great taste. We also got a small pizza to share just because they looked so darn good, and it did not disappoint. Thin crust with a kiss of charcoal just the way I love it. The menu could grow a little, but there were options for all four of us in our party. The restaurant is a little out of the way, but you're in the car already and there is plentiful parking. The food took a little bit of time to come out, but the wait was well worth it. With so many other Italian restaurants in the area, Abruzzi might get overlooked, but it certainly deserves a visit.

LOVED THIS PLACE. stopped in spur of the moment and the whole family loved it. My daughter said that this is now her favorite restaurant!!! So tasty and people were so sweet!!'n

New place and absolutely delicious. Started with the homemade meatballs and ended with the Shell Father and Chicken Parm. Kristie provided amazing service. Portions are huge and prices are incredibly reasonable.

First off the food was very good! Limited menu and byob. Will we be back? - Most likely a hard no! It is sad and we are local, and our friends have said exactly what I am writing... Again, food was good, service was mehhh. I knew when we pulled up and saw the valet parking I thought ok, LaStella does not even do this but ok. Sat down with our wine and the server put down the screw for us to open our bottle! Very odd, she was well over 21! Humm is now two strikes. Really you are not opening our bottle? Let's go for 3! Ordered our meals and was shocked there was no bread or rolls for the meal. At the prices you are charging, we will stick with LaStalla, Vecchia Osteria, Carlucci's and Piccolo. Sorry but you really had potential. For a small place you will lose out on bigger venues offering more. No rolls seriously? An upcharge for debit cards!!! How cheap! Your food was good, the rest, not so much. Good luck on this new business.

This wonderfully fresh new place to enjoy Italian cuisine is my new go-to favorite. All the food was delicious and fresh, with awesome staff and decor!

First time friends and I patronized Abruzzi Restaurant, for a birthday celebration. Atmosphere: left to be desired. Open, loud and no decor to any extent. Reminds me of a warehouse, open building. Utensils need to be wipe after coming out of dishwasher. Stained and one person still had food on the fork. Table had some stains on it. Busboy dropped utensils on floor...picked them up and put them on the table for the next party that comes in and seated there. Ugh! The layout of this business, could have been more thought out. Service: pleasant and accommodating. Food: It was okay, average. Nothing to rave about or special. The eggplant was somewhat tough. In all, the name is too pretty for a basic and loud place.

The food is delicious. The owners and waitresses and waiters were awesome Great service. I also love the vibe in the restaurants highly recommend

Food was delicious. It was very crowded. One feedback is very hugh noise level. The pizza was really great. Mushroom and truffle oil.

We tried Abruzzi after perusing what appeared to be a very interesting menu on line. When we entered the parking lot and saw valet parking we were surprised to find a very bland, undecorated, spare restaurant interior with not a shred of ambiance. The music was extremely loud and we asked twice that the volume be lowered so we could actually have conversation at the table. There was no sound absorption- lots of unadorned windows, wood floor- and the sound of chairs being scraped against the floor every time a table was cleaned. The tables for 4 are on the small side- no room for plates- and no one came by to clear salad plates before our meals were presented. It was just one course piled very quickly on top of another with no regard for pacing. Seems like the waitstaff needed better training or the kitchen crew needed better timing. We ordered a large salad to share. It was fresh, but odd that feta cheese would show up in a salad in an Italian restaurant. There was an orange dressing that came in two small plastic cups - hardly enough for the size of the salad. We asked for some bread for the table and were told they did not offer complimentary bread, but we could buy garlic bread for $4. We received 4 rather small pieces of garlic bread on that order. The dining utensils were made of thin metal and unpleasant to eat with. Dinner was bland. Tasteless. The pasta was cooked well, but the sauces we had were lacking any distinct flavor. We asked for Parmesan cheese and were given a tiny heavy bowl with about 2 tablespoons of cheese in it for 4 people. When the bill came, we noticed that we were being charged a surcharge for using a credit card. This was a huge turnoff to us. So classless. If the restaurant wants to play this game, they should just raise their price altogether. It was also unpleasant to have the waitress stand at our table while we determined the tip and paid on her handheld device. The best part of the experience was leaving and knowing this was an establishment we would not visit again.

Pizza is phenomenal!!!! As well as their other dishes! I haven't had anything I didn't like!

The food was amazing the 2 times I have went . Had the pepperoni pizza and the meatballs . Service was good for being busy . Definitely will be going back

Good food but ridiculously priced. Ordered a plate of spaghetti with bolonais with a soda. I asked for a dinner salad and bread for dipping. My bill showed 13 dollars for the dinner salad and 2 dollars for a roll. Surcharge for my credit card and my dinner for 1 for a plate of spaghetti with tip was over 50 dollars. I travel for a living and never spent that in my travels for a comparable meal. I won't go back...

Tried this place for the first time and started out well but ended not well Ordered a Chambersburg pie and it was okay however being raised and grew up in Chambersburg not even close. I can't comment on the food because we never received it. Hour and half later we left and was followed out the door by the owner and told not to return. He was concerned I didn't pay for the pizza which I absolutely did! I have never been treated like this and to the owner "No worries I will not be returning"

Everything was amazing. Went to dinner with friends Friday night and the place was buzzing with activity. our server came over immediately and asked us for our drink order and if we wanted appetizers. We ordered the bruschetta and the mozzarella stick and they were amazing. House salad for the table and we ordered different dishes and each one was delicious. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal. The owners Anthony and Mike are hands on and great! Will definitely be going back

First visit and a big disappointment. The restaurant is noisy, and a screaming kid for the first 45 minutes didn't help. In all of the redesign of the restaurant, a sound absorbing ceiling would have helped. The food was good as was the service, and the prices for the most part were reasonable, although bread and a salad with an entree are not offered, so we ordered a Caesar salad which was too big and soaked with dressing. I hope these suggestions are taken to improve a restaurant with a lot of potential.

First time having take out from here. Have seen a lot of good reviews and I was not disappointed. I live in Newtown and there is NO good pizza in Newtown. The extra few minutes is worth it. No flop even after the ride home. Will definitely return. Highly recommend!!!

First visit. Service was friendly! Food was amazing! Marg pizza and honey hot ricotta appetizer was delicious. Pasta looked amazing too and we will order it next time.
