Anthony's

We went here for a business dinner and it was great. The service was friendly and attentive and the food was delicious. We tried the thin red pizza, which was delicious and so crunchy! We loved it! We also tried the steak, which was very good and came with an amazing demiglace, and the linguini with white clam sauce, which was very good as well! We would definitely recommend this restaurant!

We’ve been waiting over a year to try Anthony’s since we moved to Old Forge; I’m a bartender and they have the best wine list in the area! I really had high hopes going in but overall I can say I spent $193 before the tip between two people and it certainly wasn’t worth the value. While it was a pleasant experience for the most part, my husband and I feel as though the experience did not match the price point. First of all, we were sat in what looked like a secondary dining room, under a window that still had an air conditioning unit in it (beginning of December) was drafty and our tablecloth had a ton of dust bunnies on it dropping from the AC directly above the table. Other tables had lit candles but ours was not. We had a 6 top seated directly behind me and they were so close if I leaned back too far my hair would quite literally touch the woman at the table behind me. The ambiance, at least where we were sat, definitely could improve. Service was mediocre for any setting but especially poor for what is touted as a fine dining experience; we waited 10+ minutes for every round of drinks and all we ordered was two rounds of beer and two glasses of wine with our entrees. Our server came to the table within 30 seconds of us sitting to ask for a drink order which we were not ready for but didn’t return for at least 15 minutes at which point we were just ready to order our entire meal and probably didn’t order as many drinks as we would have had the service been attentive. That being said, the server assistant attending the dining room was absolutely fantastic and had a wonderful eye for detail and was constantly moving and observing. I wish I caught her name but she is an absolute asset to your service team and should be doing more than running food! She gave us far better and more personable service than our actual server and we are so thankful to her. She was one of the highlights of our visit. Butter for the bread was served wrapped and cold, and remained unspreadable for our entire meal because it was so chilly at our table that it never softened. Calamari was great. The marinara sauce served with it was absolutely delicious and for sure house made. However the burrata was so bland and as much as I hate complaining about large portions of food, for a starter it was a senselessly large portion of low quality burrata and prosciutto with a small drizzle of balsamic. The pine nuts were also scattered raw across the dish and not a welcome texture. For entrees we chose the chicken Marsala and filet cooked mid rare. The Marsala was just okay. The filet was hands down one of the best steaks I have ever eaten! It was so perfectly cooked, flavorful, tender, just absolutely fantastic and really whoever was manning grill station this night did a stellar job. We ordered a glass of Nebbiolo and Valipocella. After waiting 15 minutes for two glasses of wine our server came back to tell us they no longer carried the Nebbiolo despite it being printed on their menu and on their website. So we just opted for two glasses of Valipocella. The first glasses we received were so oxidized they tasted like feet and the tannins were dead. The owner is also wonderful because throughout the night we saw her touching tables, running food and drinks, etc. So when she came to our table we quietly told her the wine had gone bad and she brought us two glasses from a brand new bottle and it was fantastic!! I mean it when I say they have the best wine list for glass pour wines in this entire area. They carry mostly Fred Magnotta (Italian) wines and he has the finest portfolio around here! You’ll be hard pressed to find a Valipocella by the glass anywhere around here! While we enjoyed our night overall, we will most likely never return because the service was mediocre and the food, other than the filet (which was seriously out of this world), was just okay. Please promote our server assistant to an actual server and give her a raise; she was the best part of our night!

Let's start with the site doesn't list reservations needed or highly recommended. We arrived at 4:45 & she had to check if we could be seated without having a reservation. Fettuccine alfredo was the worst I've ever had. Where was the alfredo sauce? Tasted like boiled noodles with chicken. I drowned it in grated cheese. My wife's meat ravioli was good. Her watered down chocolate martini no so good. My fire side chat was mediocre. Pumpkin lush was good along with the peanut butter stack. Service was spot on. The a seater table by the pole on top of the table next to you not so good. We could have sat at the bar.

Food is always fantastic. Tonight’s bartender Matt was very good and friendly. Highly Recommend

We love everything about this place. If your looking for a steak it's the best place around. I ordered veal franchise and got chicken, but the sauce was delicious. Desserts were amazing. The apple pie crust was absolutely delicious and home made. Highly recommend!

We tried tho little gen for the first time off a social media post. Glade we did. We didn’t have a reservation but they were very accommodating and we decided to just sit at the bar fur a drink and dinner. Great people here very friendly. Food was very good. Wwe’ll be back fur sure.

This seems to be the local hotspot for Italian dining. To start, our waitress seemed miserable. I get you may not be having the best time, but don't give that vibe to your customers. Trust me, it will help with tips. Next, the food. To start positively, the filet mignon was fantastic! Great flavor, although a little undercooked (I don't mind that). I had the homemade ravioli. I love homemade anything, but this dish was unimpressive. The meat filling has a strange texture (possibly frozen?), and was bland. The vodka sauce helped with the flavor a bit but not enough for me to order this meal again. Old forge style thin crust pizza did not disappoint either. Finally the atmosphere is great. It's tight fitting but it works with how they seat you, making you feel comfortable and separate from other patrons. Overall, 5.6/10 for service. 7.2/10 for food.

The owner and a very attractive waitress met me when I walked in The cute waitress took my receipt and came back with my order while I was paying. I was in and out within minutes. The double crust white pizza was excellent. I will be having it again. This time I'm going dine in.

Excellent Italian food including pizza, pasta dishes, salads and antipasto. Veal, chicken and beef dishes are great. Service is first class. Always crowded but you can make reservations

This meal made our anniversary complete! We sat at the bar, as is our norm. We had stuffed mushrooms (3 large ones with SO much crabmeat!), salad with fresh lettuce etc and the best dressing, and a drink to start. The bartender is amazing/ so personable and makes such a great drink personalized just as we asked. Our entrees were a 10 oz filet and sole crab and scallop with a basil cream sauce. Each was perfection!! The meat was done perfectly and the sauce on the fish was so good I could drank it in!! We each got the twice baked potatoes and green beans- dinner perfectly! For dessert, we got a mini lemon meringue pie and a berry cake. I also got decaf coffee and they made it fresh just for me. My husband thinks this is the best meal we've had in a long time-- all for $135 (without tip). The place is busy but the service is still attentive and professional. It is also nicely decorated and very clean. We cannot recommend this higher! You will not be disappointed!

One of the Best in Town. We visit once a week and the service and food is always excellent. Phyllis and her team are top notch. Matt the bartender one of the best.

I am from NYC.. where we are food critics! Can't believe there is an old school Italian joint w the best pizza you'll have! As well as chicken francaise! Even the veggies were great! Matt at the bar was attentive to all. Everyone there were regulars.. what a great atmosphere. Can't wait to go back next time I work in that area.

Friendly staff, very flavorful food. Even though we sat in the far back the restaurant was still very loud, making it difficult to have a conversation with everyone at our table. Overall food, drinks , staff made up for it.

My dinner partner is gluten free. He was wowed by the GF veal parm and the GF pasta. He is so rarely able to go out and enjoy a meal. Jean our server immediately has us feel at home. Cocktails were memorable and unique. We will be back!

Great salads! Great pizza, both red and white! Haven't been here since 2005 as I lived out of state, but let me tell you, food was excellent and the server was attentive. Great place to eat Phyllis!!!

Great food great service. Had a pork chop That was fantastic. The pasta dishes were also very good.

Service was terrible. Jean was a novice at waitressing food was average. She was unable to open a bottle of wine. The food was coming out sporadically. She didn't know what was in the Bolognese sauce. She brought out the steak special incorrect. It was just a terrible experience considering we had heard so many wonderful things about it and had to make reservations.

It's a small, warm, friendly family restaurant. The only reason I didn't give it a five is that it took some time before we got our food. We made a reservation, so we were seated relatively quickly. I ordered the Haddock fish, broiled with a lump of crab meat on top, with a side order of twice-baked potatoes and string beans. I must say it was very delicious. My husband had the chicken marsala, baked potatoes, and string beans, which he said was also delicious. Our waitress was pleasant and warm and checked to see if we needed anything during our meal. If I were in the area again, I would revisit this restaurant.

I grew up in Old forge! Now In Poconos. You can't compare anything here to Anthony's. I still get there a few Times a year as my doctor there. This place Wow Food Service Is Beyond. Love! Do go But packed on weekends

While out of town for work, I visited this restaurant. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and sat at the bar. Matt was my bartender, and he was great! I started with the lemon drop martini, and it was delicious. I then got the Pinot nior, and it was good. For my meal, I went with the special Chilean Sea Bass. When it came out, it looked delicious. When I dug in, it was sooooo good! It was so flavorful and tender. Boy was my experience excellent, and I would definitely return!

Consistently Great Food and Service. Matt is an amazing asset. Delivers prompt service and great drinks. Make sure to make reservations this is a local gem.

Great food i was there may 25,2025 have fun enjoy my time with family in and friend.

What a pleasant visit. The staff is amazing and super friendly! That sets the mood first thing. The food was excellent. Their sauce is just awesome. Great quiet atmosphere inside. No complaints highly recommended to anyone.

This is now our favorite Italian restaurant (especially since Arcaro and Genell went exclusively to take out). Love the atmosphere at the bar. Service is always great and staff is friendly. Food is fantastic. The antipasto will feed a family of 6, Old Forge pizza is terrific..Have had everything from pasta to lobster tails and enjoyed everything. Love this place. Wish it was open earlier, for lunch and later than 9 pm.

I had dinner on Saturday evening. Usually a good experience. I ordered the Lasagna ( special), and my companion ordered the Crab & Scallops in basil cream sauce. The server offered a potato or pasta as a side. He ordered the side of pasta with Alfredo sauce. Blue cheese dressing with crumbles, I asked for extra dressing for my salad. Portions were good meals were fine although the lasagna was slightly bland. Got the check and was surprised to see a $1.00 charge for the extra dressing, $2.00 for the blue cheese crumbles, and a $6.95 charge for the Alfredo . I'm not cheap by any means but this added $10.00 to the bill. The server should have advised there would be up charges. I dine out every Saturday all over the valley and this is the first time I've experienced this. Needless to say I doubt I'll return.

Never had a bad meal here! Service is always spot on. A must item is the thin crust Old Forge Style pizza. The new dining room is beautiful.

Visited Anthony's for a birthday dinner as a party of 8. We were promptly seated in the dining room and greeted by our server who took our drink order. The bartender Matt is likely the best bartender I have ever experienced. My espresso martini was phenomenal! We ordered the Seafood fra Diavolo, chicken, 9 oz filet mignon, stuffed haddock and everything was served hot and well seasoned. The only negative comment is the noise level inside the dining room. At times, it can get very loud but all that is forgotten when the food is served. If you're looking for a great meal you have to visit Anthony's!

Had a great meal and great service and would go again. My husband got the Italian chicken was very good and I got the gnocchi which was light and extremely good. I had them in the vodka sauce. Definitely going again.

Great pizza pasta and steaks....fast service by a great wait staff. Owner always on site and very friendly

Fist at and foremost let me say I had very high expectations for this place given the glowing reviews I see on here. Unfortunately the dinner I had this evening was bland and tasteless. The prices are way overpriced $12.50 for two overcooked stuffed mushrooms. $15.00 for steamed clams that half the clams were empty. The "spicy" red sauce had no seasoning and was bland. Waited 35 minutes to get a drink and was served bread with no butter or oil? And the noise level in the establishment is deafening.

Had a family birthday dinner for 7 on a Sunday night. I thought it would be less crowded but I was wrong. The restaurant was crowded and total time for Apps/Dinner/dessert was a little over 2 hours. The food was delicious. Wide variety of Italian dinners and appetizers. The deserts are also home made and delicious.

What?! What?! What?! It seems like the customers of this place have a contest of who can speak the loudest. The noise in this restaurant was unlike anything I've experienced in a restaurant before. Now, on to the food. To say the restaurant is overpriced would be kind. We had the following: 2 glasses of wine 2 beet salads (red beets on undressed arugula with some feta 2 bowls of (ok) pasta With tip $104 Seriously?!?

Dropped in on a Sunday and had a great Seafood pasta and salad with homemade twisted rolls. It was fast ad very delicious.

Great service; food is terrific and great atmosphere. Highly recommended for Italian cuisine

I no longer live in the area, Anthony's is one of my favorite places to eat when I come in to visit. Great food anywhere from their pizza to their filet. Great wine list as well.

Our third time dining at Anthony's today. The first two times we lived in Los Angeles and were visiting family in NEPA. Now we live here and we're happy to reconnect with such a great Italian restaurant. As we remembered, the food was great. I recommend you give it a try and decide for yourself.

My husband and I love Anthony's! Whenever we are visiting family in PA, we try to go here. We recently visited for our one year wedding anniversary. We had an appetizer, salads, a main course, and dessert and everything was spectacular! You can't beat the food, we have never had anything even close to a bad meal here. We were also seated in the new dining room, which is beautiful!

Great food for a great price Veal Marsala was amazing and the chicken was tender and perfectly prepared. We ate at the bar and Matt was friendly and very knowledgeable.

Excellent food and service. Staff very friendly! A great place for date night. Prices are very reasonable.

So good, it's not cheap but the portions are huge and the food is always so good. Love this place

Anthony's is the best restaurant in NEPA, hands down. Whether you want pizza, seafood, or steak; they have it all. Everything is fresh and delicious.

While the food was good the service was awful. I started with a caesar salad which came in a dirty bowl, however I couldn't get a new dish because no server was near our table. My friend and I ordered a Filet Mignon and Fettuccine Alfredo for dinner around 8:40 (we were first seated around 7:30). While waiting for our food our waitress ignored our table multiple times when we clearly had empty glasses and bread plates. After 40 minutes she finally refilled our drinks. I asked our waitress, Melissa, how much longer it was going to be and she said that they were just finishing up a larger party's order in the back room. Around 10 minutes later we got our food, a total of 50 minutes after ordering. A few minutes after we received our food I got up to use the restroom to find only two small tables were seated in the back room. Throughout the night the service was extremely slow even after the crowd died down. We were seated in a corner right next to the door so there was a lot of foot traffic near our table. The woman who seated us walked past our table once it was less busy saying "see now this table is nice and peaceful" clearly acknowledging that the placement of the table would have been an annoyance. My friend and I are only teenagers and were very clearly given different service compared to other guests because of our age.

I finally stopped in Anthonys in Old Forge having heard about this restaurant in the past year from a few buddies The restaurant is located on S Main St right in the downtown area. The place was not too crowded and we were seated immediately in the main dining area towards the rear of the building. Older decor was evident. We were greeted by our server, Jenn. She was very nice and well-paced in her services. She never rushed me & my lady friend. A chef's sample appetizer came on the table, a twisted pasta, oiled w/broccoli pieces & garlic. Good tasting. I ordered stuff mushrooms (3) w/lemon, wine butter sauce as an appy. Excellent. I wanted chicken so I picked Chicken Calabrese w/hot & sweet peppers on sliced fried potato chips. The amt of potatoes and peppers "smothered " the 3 and a half pieces of chicken. You can't see the chicken, see pic. The veggie side, squash was just ok. I guess I picked the wrong choice. My friend's meal was better than mine. At least she liked hers. Again the veggies and the smashed potatoes were left untouched. She really enjoyed her Southern Comfort cocktail. She said her soup was good. The portions were large though. Our server had a very good sense of humor since I queried her about the specials menu. THEY HAD NO PRICES. Why??? The clientele that frequent Anthonys never ask. Really!??! I'm not rushing to go here again even though most of the reviews are great. Salad was romaine lettuce, 2black olives & 1 cherry tomato. Skimpy.

Favorite place in Old Forge. We are from Chicago and when in town, it is our go to spot every other night. The pork chops are terrific and so is the pizza! My personal favorite is the Veal Milanese. Very friendly servers and super accommodating.

Excellent service and great food. I recommend this establishment for anyone who enjoys good food and a pleasant atmosphere.

Great food and drinks and impeccable service. Their pizza is the best in all of Old Forge and everything from their salads to desserts are fabulous.

We will never come back! Very poor service. I asked for broiled salmon no Cajun seasoning. I get blackened salmon. I sent it back and she brought me the same piece back and asked if it was any better? I said no, it is the same piece. She said no it was not. I said yes it was. And she kept telling me it was a different pc when clearly it was not when I pointed out to her I tasted it and you could see where I tasted it. Then someone else came over to talk about my meal and started arguing with me over how it was prepared. A customer should have never have to experience 2 people arguing with them about how the food was not properly made. I said to the 2nd woman I do not appreciate her arguing with me. I am telling you how the food was not properly made and you are telling me I am wrong?! Those 2 women made our experience horrible. The 2nd woman made it much worse. What should have happened is bring out the correct food, apologize and be done with it! Not argue. We will not be back. But I do not think that they will care, they take care of the people that they want. There are plenty of excellent restaurants near by and we will go there instead.

Good quality and a wide variety of Italian food that can accommodate all people. Very nice server as well!

A large group of coworkers and I dined at Anthony's last week. I had the opportunity of trying bites of a few appetizers and the Penne alla Vodka with Shrimp. The appetizers - calamari and mushrooms - were OK but nothing special. The Penne alla Vodka was absolutely delicious but the additional $4 spent on 6 small, chewy, and flavorless shrimp was not worth the price. Service was fine but a little confusing. Two different waitresses served my one table, so after my waitress had taken several orders, she just walked away from the table, leaving a coworker only 10 seconds away from jumping in to place her order. Plan to find a parking spot on the street. Anthony's parking lot may be the smallest parking lot I've seen in my life. My in-law's driveway is definitely larger than their parking lot.

The meals are fantastic they cook their seafood to perfection the pasta the sauce and don't forget to take a tray of old Forge pizza with you you will not regret it I drive close to one hour Worth the effort

Here's an update. Bride and I went this Sunday night. We didn't have reservations, there was a private party, the place was packed. We couldn't get in. So instead, we went to a different upscale Old Forge establishment right down the street from Anthony's, it shall remain nameless. Here's the bottom line: it wasn't even close. In the future if we can't get into Anthony's I'll go home and warm up a can of soup. The end.

On behalf of my family, Friday night's service and food was marginal at best. The pasta sauce was not flavorful, a disappointment. The pizza, I have no words, expected much better. Don't know another visit is worth the effort.

Anthony's has the best NY strip I've ever had anywhere. The antipasto is amazing.. best of Old forge for sure. Also, the Italian Chicken with the basil cream sauce is a must. I just love their food so much.

I'm not easily impressed, nor am I a sycophant. These facts presented preface a particularly glowing review of a restaurant that exceeds all expectations. This is the traditional merged with the elegant. Fine dining in an atmosphere that screams comfort. The wait staff is first rate. The prices are more than reasonable. Five stars across the board.

Fantastic meal and experience. I went with my family and enjoyed everything. I had the chicken francaise with a twice baked potato. Both were very good. We also split some of the white pizza as an appetizer and that was very good as well. The pizza was delicious and the bottom was almost pan-fried, which was different for white pizza. It was nice to have the pizza be lighter, which I cannot say is normal for white pizza as it can get heavy and greasy. The only thing that wasn't so great was the soup. I got a bowl of chicken noodle soup and it had a bit of a watery taste and was not all that hot. The restaurant was very crowded and we needed to wait a little bit for the food, but it was worth it. Everything besides the soup was so good I can't knock down the rating for that alone.

Steaks, salads or pizza they do it all! My favorite is the pear salad with honey yogurt dressing as a start to 20 other favorite entrees. Clean, good service and comfortable atmosphere. Always feel welcome here!

After a botched reservation at a restaurant down the street we stopped at Anthony's. We had been here a few times and they never disappoint. After leaving a place moments before that had horrible service we were greated at the door by the staff and told them we did not have a reservation. They welcomed us in and cleaned a table near to kitchen to accommodate us. We had the antipasta which is the best in the area hands down. I had the meat ravioli with meat ball and my wife had the half roasted Italian chicken. Both meals were fantastic. I have been to Italy many times and if you want the feel of what the atmosphere is like in an authentic Italian restaurant this is it.
