Ghezzi’s Restaurant & Lounge

extremely noisy! staff rushes you to leave when your finished eating. I was never impressed. small portions for the pricey menu.

First time here. Wow. Calamari which I normally don’t like was outstanding. Filet was very tender. Wife had gnocchi and scallops. Best meal locally in a long time.

love Love LOVE this place! The menu and wine selection is simply amazing. Great food, great service. Seriously, what’s not to love? Not to be confused with «cheap eats» — this is a quality resuaturant; menu is priced accordingly.

Very nice place, and the menu is full of interesting things.
Service is awsome I would recommend this place to anyone
going out for the night.

Odd place, the kind of place I picture from the late 80’s or early 90’s that your grandparents or parents have gone their entire lives. My wife said let’s keep driving when we pulled into the lot, I should have listened. There isn’t much in the area so I suspect for the area it’s the «place to go» but we went for drinks on a recommendation and it’s not necessarily bad but it’s nothing special. I would guess the food is good but the atmosphere is «old and stuffy» and the drinks although raved about where «meh» but still pricey especially for the area. Guessing the serve a niche and aren’t going to change… I’d suggest just moving on and heading into Selinsgrove.

We were taken there on Wednesday for dinner and I *highly* recommend it! I had the lobster & crab bisque chowder special and the scallops & gnocchi with creamy basil sauce special (which included a house salad & bread) and my husband had the chowder & the parmigiana-​crusted salmon special. Our host ordered some bruschetta for the table — and although I was way too full for dessert, I couldn’t resist ordering the white chocolate peanut butter pie (which I was able to take with me because our hotel room had a fridge). The pie was good, but not great. Otherwise, however, the food was truly *outstanding* (the house salad was nothing special, but it was redeemed by the delicious creamy garlic dressing). The service was very good, too — and prices were what I consider to be moderate. We met the owner as we were leaving, since he knows our host — and what a nice person!
We were surprised to see the parking lot so full on a weeknight, but then we discovered they have a Wednesday night special ($ 25 for dinner for two, with another $ 5 if wine is ordered). Of course, there are only certain items on that menu.
Note that the restaurant is only open for dinner, and even then it’s only on Wednesday through Saturday (5 – 10 p.m.).

Best fine dining in the Shamokin area. Good steaks and escargo (yum!).
