Salerno's Cafe

You Need To Know? Arrived at 5:35 & we were seated & ordering by 5:50. Then the wait was on. We waited over 1 hour for a 12 cut tray with Xtra cheese & 6 cuts of tomatoes & basil, and meat ravioli. The pizza seemed dry & very bland. The meat ravioli was homemade pasta & the meatballs were fantastic! The wait just wasn't worth it, losing a star on this occasion. Now You Know! -TBH

Great old school cafe. Bar on one side and nice dinner cafe on the other completely separated. We loved the “red” here as the flavors mixed in with the cheese were really good. The “white” was fantastic as well. Super thick and melty. The waitress could not have been nicer and more helpful.

The Old Forge style pizza here is a huge disappointment. The flavor simply falls flat. The sauce has no character, the cheese is chewy and dull but the crust was pretty good. Ordered red tray with pepperoni, onion, garlic and fresh tomato in addition to 4 cuts of red. My daughter announced after 1/2 a slice that the cheese was gross.

Compared to the vast options of Old Forge style pizza nearby this pizza was dead last between 6 places we tried in a week. I'd have a beer here but I'd skip the pizza. Woman taking the order was extremely nice and they are open on Monday (which most pizza places in Old Forge/Scranton are

Could not wait to have the pizza. It was not as I remembered at all. Dull. Boring. Dry. I’m very disappointed.

Quaint old Tavern restaurant unchanged for decades, but that's the charm. You're coming here for the food. A lot of the pizza places in Old Forge have lost their "pizzazz "... many times because the owners died and didn't pass on the exact recipies. Not Salernos. Still moderately priced with great food and fast service. Since old Mary Gingerelli passed and took her perfect recipe for sofrito with her, this has become the next best in town. They also have one of the best square red pizzas around. Had mine half sausage. If you eat in house , they will provide you with hot seeds, oregano, and garlic powder. Besides the basic salt and pepper. They have several beers on tap and an array of basic wines. TV in the bar for its patrons. Got a tray of red half sausage and a dinner of sofrito and
