Colarusso's Cafe — Restaurant in Avoca

Worst experience ever! Came in with 5 people and was directed where to sit by a very friendly waitress. A different waitress came and started setting our table but never said a word to us. There was one menu on the table and we just had to share. The wordless waitress stood at our table with a pen and paper to take our order never saying a word of greeting or telling us her name. Food was delivered to 3 out of five of us again with not a word spoken to the two that didn't get food. The waitress then went about her business walking past us multiple times still never speaking or apologizing for not delivering the full order. At this point the 3 that got food were done and 2 still had yet to get theirs. I finally got up and went to find the waitress. I asked her if something happened to our food and was told "It's coming, I can't control the kitchen." Another waitress checked on it for us and after about 10 more minutes it finally arrived. After all that the chicken parm was terrible. The chicken was dry and hard (I could barely cut it). It was buried in a pool of sweet sauce and had hardly any cheese. There was never so much as an apology. It was the absolute worst dining experience I have ever had. We were treated as an inconvenience. Also had take out then once home discovered the chicken was raw! Don't waste...

My wife is from Vietnam, and a notoriously picky pizza eater. To her, most pizza is just ehhhh. She had another well known pizza, and that was always her number 1. She tried others, and would always say, “it’s okay, but it’s not…”. Until today. Colarusso’s is now in the top spot, a major honor. And I’m happy, because Colarusso’s is my number 1 too. Everyone has their own taste, but this is far and away the best for me. We’re from out of town, and you can’t get pizza like this in the Philadelphia area, or really anywhere for that matter. The cheese has that stick to the roof of your mouth, but I think the sauce and crust really separate this place. An incredibly tasty sauce, to me the best in the area. The white pizza? My god, it’s as good as it looks. Really can’t say enough good things about the food. The prices are really reasonable, and the service is exceptional. Everyone super friendly, makes you feel like home and part of the family. If we lived here, this would be our Friday night pizza spot without question. We’ll have to settle for the occasion pop-in, but next time we’ll order teo or three trays to go. ...

We called the day ahead to order pizza and wings for a family party . Called them that day to tell them we would be a little late picking up the order, from the time we said. When we got there there was no order, nobody knew any thing about our order, despite the 2 phone calls we made. We had picked up family members at the airport, including a baby who needed a nap, so I had to drive them home and come back for the order. 20 people at my house waiting for the food and I missed the first half of the football game we were going to watch. They charged me full price for the food, $150 +, barely a sorry and then I heard them laughing at me as I left. This is the most poorly run business I have ever dealt with. do not rely on them for good service, especially takeout. Their food is good, but I will never patronize them again, they ruined our family party. Here’s a business hint: get a better system, any system...
