38 Best Italian Restaurants near Bear Creek Village

“We got several items from their Easter catering menu & everything was absolutely delicious! Quiche, macaroni and cheese, pierogis, chicken francese. It was such a big help to be able to grab some locally prepared dishes for the weekend. We will look forward to doing it again!“

“Just home from a Wednesday evening dinner at The Refinery. I strongly recommend the kale salad and pumpkin agnolotti. A delicious combination of flavors..... fresh greens with tangy dressing, and the most tender agnolotti with fresh pumpkin sweetness. Good food for the soul, cozy atmosphere, and welcoming staff. Thank you, Kathy“

“We used Grico’s to cater our wedding and they were fantastic to work with. The catering manager, Marissa, was so easy to communicate with and promptly answered any questions that came up. They had a great selection of meal options and we chose the chicken francaise, blackened salmon with raspberry sauce, and filet mignon. All food choices were INCREDIBLE and all our guests were raving how great the food was. The service was top notch and the bartenders kept our drinks full all night. 10/10 service. We recommend Grico’s to anyone looking for an affordable wedding caterer!“

Why is the food so much better is simple, all fresh ingredients.n no linen tablecloths or napkins. illianos is very clean and Marion is not only a co-owner, but an excellent server.

“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!“

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

“The greeting we received was like coming home to family. The food we ordered was delicious and authentic Italian and it was nice asking their owner for his suggestion to match the wine for our meal.“

“Excellent spot. I moved to the area from Philadelphia two and a half years ago to open Mountain Wizard Tattoo Company in Pocono Lake, and it’s rare that I find a place out here that truly exceeds my expectations. This one absolutely does.

I’ve been to the Scranton location plenty of times, but this was my first visit to this one, and it did not disappoint. The food was outstanding, the service was excellent, and bartender Joe was fantastic. I’ll definitely be back.“

“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“

“We had excellent dinners tonight at Cork! There are so many options to chose from on the menu. There's definitely something for everyone! My dinner came with sweet mashed potatoes and they were amazing! Our waiter Justin was also very attentive along with the rest of the staff. :)“

“Delicious cheesesteak subs. We always stop in for them when we are camping at Hickory Run State Park. Very nice place and wonderful service. Friendly staff.“

“Napoli's NEVER disappoints. This is genuinely the best restaurant, and it's owned by the BEST family. Authentic Italian food, and you can tell. Always always always handcrafted perfectly. You don't see many authentic Italian restaurants anymore... but this one? The BEST. Anyone who tells you different has lost their mind.“

“My husband and I enjoyed the wings! Very good sauces!“

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

“I had a wonderful experience at Rustic Kitchen Bistro & Bar. The filet mignon and lobster tail were cooked perfectly, and the flavors were rich and well-balanced. The service was exceptional attentive, friendly, and truly welcoming. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making the whole evening even more enjoyable. Definitely a place I would recommend for a quality dining experience.“

“Absolutely the best hoagie in the area!!! 💖😁💖😁💖“

“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“

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

“We had an event catered by Adelina's, at the last minute to boot, and I can't say enough good things about our experience! The owner was SO HELPFUL, kind, and made what started as a stressful experience actually delightful! The food was great, we got everything we needed and then some to keep the food warm, serve it, etc. She gave suggestions when needed, wine pairings when asked, was friendly, on-time, thoughtful, and for the record, one of our visitors was Cajun, a self-proclaimed connoisseur of bacon-wrapped shrimp, and he said theirs was among the best he'd ever had! If you need an event catered, I can tell you, you found your location. Bravo, Adelina's!!!“

“VERY DELICIOUS STEAK! It is my new favorite spot to eat at the bread sticks have the perfect of Saltiness and there Mozzerla sticks don't even get me started with the cheese pull is so long!!!!!! This place deserves 100000000000000000000000 stars!“

“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.“

“I had a fabulous experience! My first time here and I’ll definitely be back! The food was excellent, the dirty martini was top notch, and the service was perfect. Ask for Connie to be your waitress-she rocks!“

“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“

“We love Lino’s! From dinners to pizza to special salad and hosting our family’s special occasions, it’s a long-time favorite. Always well done!“

“We just had the most amazing pizza, beer and wine at Sabatini’s. Gina was our waitress and she went above and beyond! Truly incredible pizza pie! We order 3 smalls and each and every one was better than the next! Yea it’s cash only but there is an atm in the lobby. Totally and completely worth every bite! Tall booths, lanterns and lovely atmosphere! The Sabatinis bar next door is totally cool and we picked up quite a few different kinds of beers to take home to Ct with us! Also, the buffalo hot wings were a fabulous app! Totally and highly recommend! Wow!“

“It was the first time I was ever at your establishment I was very impressed pizza was very good the gentleman behind the counter brought the pizza out to the car for me cuz I can't walk and then he went and proceeded to help a lady whose car wouldn't start very impressed you got two new two new customers thank you simple act of kindness goes a long way thank you“

“Kind, professional and DELICIOUS pizza, wings and cheesesteak steak!!“

“The owner Dan is a fantastic person. Their food is absolutely amazing. I’ve never had anything bad from there. My favorites are: meatballs, breakfast pizza, oven baked wings, Sicilian pizza, etc. The service is excellent as well.“

“I tried the Pagach pizza with onions. The crust has the right amount of crunch on the outside while still being soft enough inside to hold everything together. The potato layer is done well and adds a hearty, filling bite without taking over the slice. The cheese blend and onions are evenly incorporated, so every bite has all the flavors. It’s balanced, consistent, and overall just a satisfying Pagach pizza! One of my new favorites!!“

“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.“

“First time having there sweet sauce pie and it was so good reminds me of Sam’s pizza in wild wood so good will definitely be ordering again“

“I've heard of the place for years and people RAVE about the food. It stood up to the hype and then some. The Food was PHENOMENAL and the service was just as good! It really is one of the best hidden gems in the valley!! Portions are big and prices are on point too! 5 ⭐s“
