TLDR: having been here twice now, it is not worth themoney for mid level food at a place pace that wants to be higher level. If the value for money doesn’t get you the poor cleaniness will.
Food:
Many different options are available and for the times I’ve been it is very hit or miss. I tried the shrimp scampi that had the sauce broken and way too garlicky, the blackened stack that was well underseasoned and the temperature was incorrect, the chicken marsala tasted off, but the chicken was good along with the mozzarella sticks. The pasta is clearly boxed and at the prices here you expect fresh made pasta. Lastly, we were charged 60 bucks for a steak when the menu said 48, it was not clear what prices were unless you read the fine print at the bottom. That and I guess there ended up being a board at the front that told you, but it needs to be clearer.
Service:
It felt like we waited for a long time for any type of service. When we got our food, no one asked how it was or if my steak temp was good or not. Only 5 mins into eating we asked if we needed boxes. Not only that, i feel the servers/manager needed to intervene in a very loud and obnoxious table that ended up ruining the one whole night for us and many others. It’s a nice restaurant, not a bar.
Atmosphere:
Unclean. It was gross. The wood along the table was covered in dust, between the booth and the wall was littered with crumbs, and there were cobwebs all over the lights above the table. Unaccepted and makes me wonder how the kitchen looks. The ambiance is nice, but wow was it not clean.
So, i cannot recommend this place and would likely take a lot for me to even want to come back. You expect sooooo much more when the prices are that high.

Had a really nice experience. Staff was friendly, the service was efficient, and the food was delicious. Had cocktails at the bar prior to our reservation. They had a variety of drink specials, wine, beer, etc. This restaurant might look outdated, but who cares…the food and service make up for it!!

Ghezzi’s was recommended to us by a couple of friends. It was my birthday and wanted to go some where nice so I made a reservation. Its an hour drive just for us to get there from where we live. The service was great and very prompt and the establishment is beautiful. The food however wasn’t what we expected. The calamari was great but instantly after eating the clams casino me and my boyfriend both got sick. We couldn’t even eat our main dishes. Also wasn’t impressed with what we got for the price. $170 and we couldnt even eat it then I had to drive us an hour home sick as a dog.

Ghezzi’s always delivers. Lively bar with robust conversation. People are friendly. Bartender, Bob, makes good cocktails. Dinner specials are carried and delicious.

We’ve been going to Ghezzi’s since 1985. Do not trust any negative reviews. Those people simply don’t appreciate excellent food. We consistently get great food including lots of seafood choices, steaks and of course Italian dishes. Service is super and attentive. We have traveled in Italy several times plus eaten at fine dining restaurants from Vancouver BC to Portland Maine and Ghezzis remains a favorite.

Ate here twice recently. Both times the food was outstanding and the service truly spectacular. Loved the baked seafood imperial casserole as well as the jumbo coconut shrimp with lobster ravioli. Soups, salads, appetizers (fried oysters) and desert (creme brulee) were excellent. Portions are ample and quality high for the price. Service was very attentive (water constantly filled, empty dishes removed) by the friendliest team around. Absolutely worth the drive and highly recommended.

We come here often for special occasions, but the prices are certainly good enough to able to enjoy this place on a regular evening. Their specials are so fun, many of their dishes are unique or hard to find in this area. Portions are large, service is fast, drinks are strong.

The food was okay but not par with the prices that they were charging.There are other places locally that have better food that is much less expensive. Not that we mind spending money for a really good meal. We do it often, but we didn’t consider this to be a really good meal.

My girlfriend and I came here to celebrate our second anniversary. I got recommended this place by a friend. This place did not let me down; IT WAS SO GOOD! I can confidently say that this is the best restaurant that I’ve ever had in Pennsylvania, and I’ve been to a lot. Everybody should try this place out especially if you are in the area. I live about 30 minutes away, but I would gladly drive more to eat here. And a side note, this place was not that expensive. The price was 100% worth it! Especially when compared to other expensive restaurants.
Here is a list of all the food we got and a rating:
Bread (starter, free): 10/10. SO GOOD! Most places, including very expensive restaurants, will give you plain bread with some special olive oil. But, here the bread was AMAZING! The bread had toppings such as cheese, garlic, butter and possibly more that made the taste so good. The bread was also very soft. If I could change one that it would be to have special olive oil (like with a variety of herbs)
Spicy Shrimp Marinette Vegetables: 10/10. This app was such an amazing choice. We both LOVED it so much. The sauce was so sweet (not spicy at all for some reason) and tasted SOO GOOD. The shrimp was cooked to perfect crispiness and the vegetables were cooked soft and tender.
Blackened Tenderloin Tips Diane with Scallops: 10/10. The pasta was super good. I loved the quality of the beef they used. Sometimes I have very chewy tips, despite being cooked to a med rare. But here the tips were cooked so perfectly. Also to a perfect med rare. The scallops were also cooked so nicely. With the crust being browned while maintaining a super soft interior. I loved this dish a lot!
Fettuccine Alfredo: My GF had this one so I do not know the specific rating. But I could tell she loved it.
Overall, if you are debating about coming here, you should just come. The food here is truly amazing. I enjoyed this place and I will be coming back soon.
