50 Best Italian Restaurants near Blakely

“Phenomenal food, atmosphere & people! This place is a gem & worth the drive no matter where you're from! I took my husband for his birthday.

He had veal parmigiana w linguine & salad. I had pappardelle bolognese w italian wedding soup. The bread was warm w oil for dipping & the entrees served hot as they should be. (it was obvious that nothing was sitting waiting to come out of the kitchen)

The waitstaff are super friendly & attentive and the cocktails- a bloody mary & tiramisu martini were excellent!

Dessert was brownie ala mode w a candle & song for hubs, and tiramisu for me.

Perfection from start to finish! Get familiar w Joseph's Family Restaurant in Peckville! Phil and his team are waiting for you! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Just Like Grandma's

Cafe Soriano's is absolutely incredible!
1/2 lb Penne with Vodka sauce
1/2 lb Rigatoni with Vodka sauce
1/2 lb Linguine with Marina sauce
Side of Pork for 2 and 1 meatballs were so delicious. The pork melted in your mouth and the meatballs were great. The sauces are a favorite and the Portions are plentiful. There is a small percentage added on for take out, but it's all well worth it. They are also cash only.“

“Extraordinary is an understatement. This establishment is phenomenal in every aspect, from its atmosphere to the family ownership, cuisine, and pricing. I highly recommend Anthony's with absolute certainty, and I appreciate supporting small, family-owned businesses.  #LoveMyFamilia“

“My third time here & it is consistently great! Came in for their Sunday Dinner, drinks where perfect, apps great, but let’s give the meatballs a moment…maybe the best the area has to offer…and there are some really good ones in town. Perfect size, perfectly soft, really excellent. Had the spaghetti it was spot on, just right. Finished the meal with lovely desserts and house made chocolates the whole meal made me happy :)“

“Picciocchi’s has THE best pasta. Chef Stefano makes the entire experience delightful“

“I travel 50 miles to come here great food and great service.“

“We went to Casa Bella tonight. The atmosphere is wonderful. The service was fabulous. We ordered a tomato caprese appetizer. It was amazing!!! Arugula salad, sole fish with carb meat and shrimps with a creamy, mild lemon sauce. 😋❤️ Strongly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, $$$ a little pricey. Worth it!!!“

“We heard about this place on NEPA Pizza Review and since we happen to be in Scranton today we stopped there to eat lunch. It's such a nice, clean place with friendly staff. We had the large pizza with sausage and it was absolutely delicious!! We'll definitely go back!!!“

“Authentic brick oven pie, you can taste the smokey wood flavor, charred crust. The Scrantonian, Margarita and Bronx Bomber are delicious. If you're looking for this style pie, or even if you're looking for great pizza, go no further and you won't be disappointed.
Parking is a garage a half a block down, but you may luck out with street parking after 5 or 6 at night“

“We absolutely love Sidel’s! The hospitality at this establishment plus the food & beverages offered are top notch. Thank you to each and every person at Sidel’s who made our dining experience so enjoyable. We made a reservation for 11 guests including two small children to celebrate a special birthday over the weekend and there are no words to describe how truly amazing everything was. Each person went above and beyond the entire time without hesitation. From providing a cake for the birthday girl at the last minute, welcoming all of us like we were family, & bringing toys out for my children who started to get a bit restless, my family and I cannot thank you all enough. We can’t wait to return again very soon! ♥️“

“first time here tonight based on my dates recommendation..very happy with our dinners and the service..I got the gnocchi with meat sauce and she got a chicken caesar salad I believe..both large portions . Will definitely be back“

“Tripe is the BEST i've ever had!!!!!“

“We visited Augustine's with a large group of 20 people and were incredibly impressed with the level of service we received. Despite the size of our party, our single waitress handled everything with remarkable efficiency and professionalism. She managed all our drink and food orders promptly, and every item arrived hot, fresh, and perfectly prepared.

We ordered a variety of appetizers, entrees, pizzas, drinks, and desserts, and everything was served in well-timed stages. No one waited too long, and the quality of the food was outstanding—every dish was delicious. Not a single person in our group left hungry or disappointed.

We highly recommend Augustine's and will absolutely return the next time we're in town.“

“Very good food, comfortable room.“

“Outstanding Italian Family Service. Great food and prices.“

“I’ve had several events in the banquet room at Luccas. They are the most kind and accommodating staff. The owner Tori is a pleasure to deal with and goes above and beyond to make sure your event will be perfect. They food is great, the service is fantastic and atmosphere is spot on for all occasions. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make our events perfect!“

“Absolutely Fantastic! Angelo was wonderful!“

“The good old days are alive and well at Rossi's! Tonight, we ordered takeout from Rossi's, and it was better than ever. The portion of Chicken Parmesan was bigger than ever, and it was so tender I didn't even need a knife. The sauce is semi-sweet and always feels like being at your grandparents' house on Sunday. The side of pasta is a meal in itself, and the side salad is always good. The Chicken Jacquelyn is sautéed with prosciutto ham and finished in a sherry cream sauce. That also comes with what seems like a side of never-ending pasta. Rossi's is a must-visit, but please make reservations or order takeout. Oh, those cutletz!“

“I never leave reviews, but I was so impressed by my experience here on Saturday that I just feel like I really have to. My girlfriends and I met here for a girls night over the weekend and every single one of the four of us had nothing but great things to say about the whole evening. The service vibes were IMMACULATE; from the hostess, to the server, to the bartender, everyone added a positive energy to the restaurant. The food and drinks.. MY GAWD. We ordered quite a bit of food for the four of us to share, and there was not one single thing that we didn’t love; seriously, we talked about how good the food was for hours to everyone any anyone who would listen. Its two days later and I’m still talking about it and telling my husband that we need to make a reservation for our next date night. Seriously, one of the best restaurant experiences I have ever had.“

“The Best Meat Ravioli I have ever tasted!“

“Tried Sibio’s for first time today for lunch- definitely worth the drive. Food was very good and prices appropriate. I definitely enjoyed this wonderful Italian restaurant. Decor falls between original 1970s and a little updated - but that was charming and likely kept prices so reasonable. The place was quite busy for an afternoon lunch and service prompt and attentive enough! Highly recommend - we will be back to try more. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked great!“

“I got 2 trays of red pizza with anchovies & the pizza was Absolutely Scrumptious. Pizza was phenomenal. Loved it! Everything was perfect even though I ordered out. Order was ready when I got there & just the smell, I couldn't wait to get home to have a piece. Sheer Perfection.“

“My favorite place to eat. My wife had my 60th birthday there on the 13th. As always food and service were excellent! Thank you for a great birthday!“

“A nice little place that has been in the downtown for close to 20 years. You enter through the bar that is roomy while also having hightop tables. When entering main dining, the first thing we noticed was the piano player, which is a super-cool touch! He played some fun songs, including some of his own, cracked jokes, and also interacted with the crowd while not being intrusive at all. My wife and I each got a martini (Dirty Gin for her and Honey Nut Cheerio for me) and both were delicious. As an appetizer, we got Eggplant Melanzane, which was light, had great flavor, and a delicious vodka sauce. My better half had a Caesar salad with probably the best Caesar dressing we have ever had. I went with the gorgonzola salad that had a nice, tart raspberry vinaigrette. For our entrees, she had the chicken special, which featured thin chicken breast and portobello mushrooms in a port wine sauce, topped with gorgonzola. It was very earthy and deep, a worthy special. I had the Pollo Sambuca, which is the same thin chicken breast with shrimp and mushrooms in a creamy sambuca sauce. It was very flavorful and slightly sweet. The anise is there, but not distracting. This was a solid meal! Our server, Thellenza, was attentive and informative. She made sure we understood all of the specials and took care of anything we asked. The rest of the staff is also helpful, too, and we were never in need of anything for long at all. The adult beverages that we enjoyed were definitely tasty, we just wish they had more of a wine and beer selection. Food: 9 Service: 10 Atmosphere: 10 Adult Drink Selection: 8 Overall: 9.25“

“Outstanding service and food! Wayne and Mary go above and beyond! Haddock Gomez is my favorite!“

“Super excellent food. The only thing better than the food was the service. Our waitress, Corrine was very accommodating. Even though they did not have a specific cocktail we ordered, she improvised and it was better than we expected. We give 5 stars ! We'd give 10 but the app didn't go that high ! We'll be back !“

“Yes, the pizza is absolutely delicious but don’t sleep on their salads…especially the D’Amore Especial Salad! The best!!“

“Had a great evening at Frank's Place❤️ The food was fabulous and the service and atmosphere equally great. It was truly worth the drive up from Scranton. Looking forward to my next meal at Frank's.“

“What a wonderful visit we had. Myself and two daughters enjoyed the breadsticks and salad, which were delicious and accompanied by 3 entrees, which were wonderful. However, the best part by far of our visit was the waitress Rena. I never met a more friendly, but not over the top waitress. She didn't Miss A beat and had the most genuine energetic smile and personality. I would go back to just visit her. I sure hope she works on tuesdays every week. Thank you Rena“

“Been here many times,, had so many different meals. I haven’t been disappointed YET. Mike comes out and Greets his customers. The the atmosphere..“

“We eat here a lot. But tonight they knocked it out of the park. DELICIOUS!!! We usually get dinners, but tonight we also got the garlic mild wing bites. They had just the right amount of heat, and the flavor was AMAZING!!! 10/10“

“Enjoying a pleasant meal out is always a treat, and Stirna's never fails to impress. My husband and I chose it for our anniversary dinner, and from the moment we stepped inside, the wait staff provided top-notch service, making us feel genuinely welcome. The food was delicious, and those legendary Stirna's brownies are always a must for a sweet treat. Much thanks to Cathy and her team.“

“Great Pizza. Very nice family ran business, I personally am friends with both owners. Definitely give it a try.“

“Never disappoints always so good“

“Awesome food and service“

“Everything is absolutely delicious!!! Love the vodka sauce, can’t get enough!“

“I ordered a meat stromboli. I told the girl meat i wanted pepperoni ham sausage. They gave me their regular one and added the thee meat. She said yes you order a meat. I said yes she called the guy that made it I'm guess the owner said it wa my fault I didn't tell them I did want all the other stuff. I ordered a meat stromboli. I left it on the counter. Never asked me if I wanted my money back or make me a new one. I didn't make a big deal. they had a few people. But I'm so made I never go back. I have made many meat stromboli when I worked at a restaurant. Terrible!! It had mushroom in it that I'm allergic to.“
