“One of our favorite Italian restaurants. The specials are always a must-try, however their homemade manicotti and their chicken Parmesan are two of our favorite picks. Service is always top notch and friendly and the atmosphere is filled with Italian decor and music. It’s really such a great place to have a nice dinner with reasonable pricing and a family atmosphere. Alissa is always smiling and happy to see you.“

“My son kept telling me he wanted us to try this restaurant as he lives in the area and he goes there often. It was a hike for us, but we decided to go try it out. There were 6 of us there, and everyone enjoyed their food, but I will speak to what we ordered. My son insisted we try the pizza as an appetizer. I am not really into pizza when I go out to a restaurant, so I was hesitant. When it came out, it was huge. I loved that it was very crisp on the bottom and it was not overloaded with sauce. It didn't have the typical cheese that slides off the pizza when you order it. The owner, Chris, came to check on us to see how we liked it. I thought it was fantastic, but there are a limited number made during the evening so I think you have to get there early. My daughter and I shared the bang bang cauliflower and that was very tasty. There was a lot of it so we ended up taking some of that home. The other appetizer we had were the soul scallops. We all thought this was an amazing appetizer and I loved the combination with the cornbread. We each had a salad before dinner and I personally like the spring mix with tomatoes. It wasn't an overly large salad, but it was a salad was what is was supposed to be: a precursor to dinner. With the portion sizes of the appetizers and the food, we actually ended up taking some of the salad home. My son got the Italian Chicken and Waffles, which was huge. I was give a taste of that and while it was a combination that I did not think would work, it was very good and a creative recipe. My husband had the Surf and Turf Fricassee and he is still talking about that almost a week later. It was a very nice dish and his steak came out the way he asked. He is frequently disappointed when he goes out to eat in other restaurants and is disappointed by how often the steak is overcooked. I had the Alfredo Bay, which again, was a large portion that I ended up taking home and finishing the next day. I was worried that it was going to be a bit too spicy with the Old Bay, but I liked the combination of ingredients so I thought I would give it a try. You can taste the kick, but it wasn't overwhelming thankfully. When talking to the owner, he said that the only dessert they were out of was the Tiramisu (which is one of my favorite desserts). His mom personally makes it so it tends to sell out. Chris.....tell your mother to make more (just kidding). The staff that we interacted with were very personable and friendly. While this was a little over an hour from home, we will definitely be back the next time we are visiting our son!“

“absolutely delicious!! great customer service and great food! We ordered their garlic knot Chicken parm and would highly recommend 🤤“

“Illiano's is by far the best restaurant in the valley. There's something for everyone on the menu. Order the sicilian marinara pizza...thick crust, fresh tomatoes, garlic and plenty of cheese. If you're not happy, it's on you. It's definitely not the food“

“Absolutely wonderful food and service. Angela was super attentive and extremely pleasant. We love everything about this place“

“Best Pizza and Meat Sauce!! Mike the owner is a true gentlemen owner and the bar tender Donna is wonderful. I can’t wait to come back and try more!!“

“This is a lovely restaurant for a special occasion or for any excuse to go and have a lovely meal. If you are there in the summer, get the long hots - they are amazing. The staff is always super friendly while still maintaining decorum. We always have a great time here, and the food is wonderful.“

“My family and I had some friend over Saturday evening and wanted to keep it simple with pizza. Our order was a plain, pepperoni and a grandma. As usual every pie was so fresh and delicious. My favorite will always be the grandma, just the right amount of pesto oil, thin and crispy. While I forget his name, the tall gentleman with glasses, who I assume is the manager, is always so polite and keeps things moving behind the counter. Dino’s will always be a pizza that I enjoy and highly recommend!!!!“

“Best Zuppa Di Clams anywhere! Friendly staff, fair prices and real Italian/Sicilian meals.“

“Perugino’s was terrific. We hadn’t been there in a long time and we will certainly go back. The food was delicious with generous portions. The service and staff was great.“

“Please accept me as a friend on Facebook. I want your daily info. I have a new page.“

“Love this place! The owner and the staff are amazing! The Food is always great! My wife and I enjoy everything we have ever had!“

“This is the second time it was dried out. No taste. And the bottled garlic that they are using was so over powering it for Ed it down. And I asked for a little more sauce. When it came. It was all dried. Like it was sitting g under the heat lamp a long time. This is the second time. And it had no taste. Twice . And the prices have gone sky high for. Pasta. 17 for a lousy dish of clams in sauce that had no taste. I’m very sorry we loved co I g here for years. But the food is. O share what it is. Most likely there is no one watching how this is prepared“

“You can’t go wrong with anything you get.. it is all delicious“

“I took my Love, Maritza here for Valentine's Day. It was very enjoyable except when I ordered the Stuffed Chicken Marsala, it was EXTREMELY salty.( I am an experienced chef and food experimenter. ) so I informed our waitress, who responded quickly and without hesitation offered a fresh plate or change of order.
Shortly after the manager came to the table attempting to change my opinion of how the dish was a Very salty type of preparation.
I again had to stand by my statement about the plating.
Please, Olive Garden, you need a Chef to insure quality going to your customers.
If I was there any other time, I would have just walked out!“

“Their buffalo chicken wing pizza is to die for! We also love their burgers & salads! Be sure to try the meatball hoagie next time you’re there, you won’t regret it! They are so friendly & the food was ready fast!“

“Napoli's is great especially when you're on a time crunch! They have several different kinds of slices available and service is fast and friendly. The dining area is super clean, and the pizza is great! Perfect place to pop in on lunch break. They have full pies available too but I love being able to just grab slices!“

“they never disappoint I had wings tonite & they were excellent I order almost every Fri or Sat Danielle is the sweetest and has a smile for everyone even the nasty people l respect recommend them very highly“

“Great service awesome food!definitely will be back !!“

“Getting hoagies from III Guys is CONSISTENTLY hit or miss. Now it's constantly a *miss* so we're done spending money here. I got a turkey hoagie today and there was barely anything on it! 😠 A regular sandwich is thicker! Two slices of turkey, a tiny bit of lettuce, some onions and a couple tomato slices! Oh and it was DRY! We paid for mostly BREAD! Feels awesome to be shafted for what you paid for. I had to put my own Mayo on it, add lettuce and add tomato to fill it! That's NOT the point of take out. Food quality is going DOWN last few years. ((See comments for pics of this sad hoagie)) We're done giving them the benefit of the doubt. The other hoagie we bought was also lacking & dry. Plenty of other good quality restaurants to choose from than wasting money on food that clearly quality isn't a priority. ~Signed Another Unhappy customer“

“I’ve worked in their kitchen, it’s one of the cleanest in the valley. Had their food today it was very good!“

“Food was fantastic and cheap! 1 large (2 topping pizza), dozen wings with EXTRA Blue Cheese, and an Italian hoagie for $39. What? In todays day and age? Thats pennies compared to the other guy. The gentleman behind the counter was incredibly polite. Can't wait to be back!“

“Delicious Italian hoagie!! would be ordering from here often!“

“Hands down the best and most popular resturant in NEPA. This place is always jammed packed, even on holidays. Wait staff, and management really take care of their customers. I reccomend the ceaser salad and hanger steak. The creme brulee is the best and highly sought after. You are never dissapointed here- even the kitchen staff will come out and check on you. A+++“

“Absolutely, several people told us to try dinner here and it was awesome. Bourbon Maple glazed pork tenderloin was heaven.“

“The best pizza ever! It was delicious!!First time here and we had a terrific time! Expresso Martini and all the specialty beers were out of this world!• Atmosphere rustic and inviting! This place was recommended to us and was very thankful because we had a terrific experience!“

“The buns must have come right out of the oven when I placed my order for my primo sized American cold cut hoagie with lettuce, tomato,onion, and oil and vinegar. It was made with the bun being very warm and that it ruined the whole taste of my hoagie. It melted the cheese to a soggy texture like when a hoagie sits outside on a hot day. A cold cut doesn't mean warm bun. And I didn't ask for a baked hoagie. I was going to take it back in, but I was so pressed for time. But I just took it apart and ate what I liked or what tasted ok. When I did a review on my Primo app, they asked for the ticket number. I'm going to check my truck it might be in there. I believe it was last Monday evening, 7pm. I am not from the area, but I used to stop at the previous location on Rt 309 a lot it was convenient.“

“This has become my favorite restaurant. Absolutely love the food!“

“Was in PA working all the way from Tx. Was looking for some pizza when I got off and this came up on my google maps. Same name as an old place in San Antonio. Pizza was good ordered 2 slices, not knowing the size or the cost lol. Waited inside about 10-15min no biggie. Pizza was so hot I drove halfway back to my hotel before I pulled over to eat. I was starving FR. Go pullup ????“

“Best place for pizza ! amazing staff and the waitress who is always working there is so incredibly kind! I highly recommend savos to anyone who's looking for a good square pizza!“

“Absolutely love going to cork! It’s a fantastic place for a date night, girls night or anything in between. The staff is always attentive and friendly. I have several other friends that make it a point to go there weekly and they always leave well fed and happy with their service from staff. You won’t regret adding cork to your list of places to visit!“

“great food and an amazing staff 😁“

“Great service! Great food!“

“Very accommodating, big portions, upfront about availability, friendly service, even though I went there before the evening rush, I didn't feel like I would be there forever because it was slow. I took my French fries to go and wasn't charged for modifications to my spaghetti dinner. There was a completely cheese-free pizza but I guess it didn't sell well. Personally, I miss it.“

“Awesome food and great service even on the delivery side. Did amazing job. Food is so good to.“

“We ordered several different items for takeout and was very happy with the experience. They were very friendly on the phone and got our food quickly when we arrived. The food was delicious and very well prepared. I look forward to trying more items here and would definitely recommend trying something.“

“LIVE IT, LOVE IT great for students!!“
