50 Best Italian Restaurants near Blakely

“My husband and I decided to try this place for the first time and we were amazed! We started with potato pancakes, calamari, and the mozzarella en Carozza and it was like it was touched by the hand of God it was so delicious! Then I had the pretzel chicken with the mashed potatoes and the green beans! I've been looking for pretzel chicken done this way all over the valley and this is the only place that does it the way I like it with the mustard sauce. My dinner also came with a soup and I chose the Italian wedding and it tasted better than mine! My husband had the Joseph's double stuffed crust pizza with pepperoni added on top and we've had other double stuffed crust white pizzas before and this one is at the top of the list! We're definitely coming back and we will be bringing friends and family! Thank you so much for the amazing experience and our waitress was absolutely fantastic and extremely attentive!“

“Quickly became a favorite spot. I don’t even want to share this for fear I’ll lose my seat for breakfast. I love their heavenly pancakes with the crispy edges and the Calabrese omelette. I don’t even bother making sauce anymore, my house is stocked with Soriano Marinara.“

“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“

“Went here on a recommendation from a friend who happens to be a bartender at La Rosa. We were definitely impressed! From our greeting when we went in, conversation at the bar, then promptly being seated everything was perfect. After ordering our food was delivered very quickly. Great portion size and very tasty. Good enough that we chose to I’ve tea our meals and bring dessert home. 😁 Nothing about this visit disappointed and we are already planning a return visit in a couple weeks with some family. This place is a small gem and I can see it being a go to place for many. Thank you Rion and Cat as well as the rest of the staff. You were all wonderful!“

“Abbiocco is one of my favorite spots to eat, it’s a hidden gem in Clark’s Summit! From the homemade salad dressings to the generous sized entrees and don’t get me started on the house made desserts! Everything is always fantastic!“

“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“

“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“

“Have to take time out to write a review on our experience Saturday evening.
Juggling two new grandchildren and doing the college traveling leaves my husband and I barely enough time to talk yet go out to a restaurant. We chose Bar Pazzo as our date night and what a great choice it turned out to be.
The environment is classy and lively, the patrons all come together to share their favorite meal or visit their favorite server. Seeing the crowded restaurant and witnessing a line of people eager to get in was just another validation of a good choice to dine there.
The staff is family and greets everyone with a warm greeting and pleasing attitude. You instantly feel welcomed here.
Our food was being prepared behind a small glass window where you could see the synchronicity' of a true team working together like well oiled machine.
We ordered the Scrantonian pizza, a local favorite for the pepperoni lovers out there. The crust was impeccable and finally we didn’t have to fight out the delicious pepperoni cooked to perfection. The desserts and drinks reflect the staffs creativity all made on premises fresh. The gelato is my favorite!
If you’re looking for an upbeat, classy, pizzeria with exquisite culinary talent take the time to visit Bar Oazzo. It’s worth the wait!
We’ll be regulars for sure.“

“Five-Star Experience at LUCCA Restaurant & Catering! We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Lucca’s celebrating Mother’s Day with my mom and I have to give a huge shoutout to Tori Krappa who truly sets this place apart! Torry is so giving & deeply passionate about everything she does, from the food to the people—she takes the time to personally greet tables, and ensures everyone feels like a regular! Everything was delicious, right down to the dessert- the cherry nut cake was outstanding! Highly recommended!“

“The best around, we have had many dinners and celebrations here from wife’s wedding shower, children’s baptisms and both on/off site catering. Always treated like family when we are there“

Parking: Parking in rear.“

“The food is always excellent.“

“Great food ! Love the antipasto , ravioli , gnocchi , calamari & pizza“

“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!“

“Last night a waitress here clearly tried to rob us! I paid $45 cash then wanted to put the rest on my card. She came back said the card machine was broken ( no big deal) My dad handed her a $50 bill&she never brought his change back. I asked her for a receipt to show we paid, she gave me a song and a dance about having to go write up another receipt. We had already been there for 2 hours & I had to leave, on my way way home I realized I forgot to leave tip on table so I called to give my cc info to leave the tip. later that evening I got a call back saying I never fully paid the bill. That waitress took his $50 and pocketed it!! When I spoke to her on phone she flat out lied!!, even though I told her (after I paid) that she never gave him the change she even said (oh I owe you whatever the amount was) She said we never gave her the $50!?! my elderly dad clearly pulled it out of his wallet & handed it to her. Thankfully Christine the manager took care of everything for us! Btw it wasn't Wendy she was awesome it was the other lady there on 2/22 evening short dark hair! Needless to say we won't be back! Why would I ask for a receipt or change back if we didn't pay you!?!?!?!?!?!But watch who you hire Sidels... She a bad one!! To try and steal from an elderly man with dementia!?!?! Karma is a b**** girly, I hope your mom is proud of you!! Ty Christine and Wendy for being a great waitress! Food was wonderful! and never had another issue here!“

“I loved the menu: Italian classics in rational order. You choose your favorite recipe: Franchise, Marsala, Parmigiana, etc. then the meat: Chicken, Veal, Pork. What you get is excellent, classic-with-a-personal-touch food at an excellent price. There's more, and it's also wonderful. So is the family touch, and the neighborhood vibe. This is a great restaurant!“

“Very good food, comfortable room.“

“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.“

“The best pizza and wings in town and they’re very polite and fast❤️“

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

“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.“

“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 !“

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

“Stopped twice in a week. First time we tried the vodka sauce square. It was amazing, sauce great crust crispy yet light. Today we tried the trifecta square. Not only was it delightful to look at. It tasted incredible the way the Pesto Marina and vodka sauce came together. The crust was crispy and light again.“

“Everything was good! Always on point .“

“The chicken Caesar wrap on spinach is always fresh. Garlic parm fries always hit the spot. Friendly staff“

“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“

“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.“
