Cafe Rinaldi

A must stop is Old Forge, PA Recommend bring an appetite as the portion sizes feed an army. Would highly recommend the risotto. I had the shrimp risotto and my wife had the Carbonara. Consider calling for reservation as crowds vary, but our wait times have never been long. Off street parking available.

I’ve been visiting Cafe’ Rinaldi with my family for quite some time now, and it used to be one of our favorite spots. We would often come to enjoy the gnocchis and risotto, which were always delicious and a big reason we kept coming back. Unfortunately, over the last few visits, we’ve noticed that the food quality has declined, which has been disappointing considering how much we used to love it. That said, the service has always been great, and we never have to wait long for our food, which we truly appreciate. On our most recent visit, I made a reservation more than a week in advance and requested a specific table that my family and I usually sit at. When I made the reservation, the woman on the phone mentioned the table request could not be guaranteed which I found odd due to the fact

We got a tasty pizza that was a nice experience, and spaghetti with meatballs that it was way too spicy when our order was just marinated sauce. I didn't even eat it. The service was too fast (in the good way), and friendly and our overall experience was pleasant.

I wanted some dinner while away for work and found this spot. When I arrived I parked in the private lot. I walked in and sat at the bar. Joey was my bartender/server, and he was great! I ordered the vodka martini, and it was very good. For my meal, I got the shrimp with crab special. It also came with chicken and rice soup, and that was delicious. The shrimp dish was ok. I just needed some additional salt. The bill was affordable, and I had a good experience.

The pizza was absolutely beautiful, boasting a light, crispy crust. Somehow, though, the flavor seemed a bit mild. The service was above average. No Coke or Pepsi, so I opted for a 7UP with my meal. I highly recommend the fries, as they tasted and looked homemade. A really good-looking restaurant.
