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.“

“One of my absolute favorite family owned businesses, owners at so nice and patient. I’ve dined in and ordered from home. It’s affordable which is a plus for me as a single mom. And the food is so yummy. ♥️🩷“

“One of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time! The place is absolutely beautiful, the food is phenomenal, and the mocktails were perfect. The staff was incredible — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. And Gabe, the manager, is truly exceptional and made us feel like VIPs. I had the Goat Cheese & Ricotta Cavatelli for my entrée and the Flourless Chocolate Torte for dessert. Everything was just amazing from start to finish. We can’t wait to go back!“

“We took my son last night for his birthday and as a family what a wonderful experience! Atmosphere was great. The wait staff is very tentative along with the owner. The food was delicious. We all enjoyed our meals, best penne à la vodka around the area! We definitely will be going back! At the end of our service we complimented how great everything was and we were celebrating our son’s 16th birthday and the owner and his staff came and surprised my son on their own with a piece of cake and sang to him! Genuinely good people!“

“Excellent service. Quality menu & food.😊“

“I’ve had many great experiences with this place especially eating there three times a week lol. The steak and cheese hoagies amazing the fries to die for and the cheeseburgers delicious. Always friendly weight staff and owners, and I have a chance to speak with one of the owners last week and he’s a stand-up guy. This place will continue to keep getting my business along with my friends.“

“Just love the place.Food is excellent“

“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!“

“Great local italian restaurant in the downtown area. It's pretty popular so be sure to make a reservation ahead. Randomly, you can find empty seats by the wood fire pizza station. We don't mind and the hosts always ask in case as it isn't a regular table. You can see all the kitchen action and pizza making skills while dining. Terrific service by my server JP. He set us up with a wine bottle and the bikini bottom pizza which is always delicious. There is also a gelato/coffee section near the entrance located by the bar. They do have a room with a big table in case you're looking for a more private dinner. However, you still feel like you are in the restaurant part of the crowd as it is enclosed by glass. There is a section to hang coats. Definitely try the whipped ricotta!“

“By far our favorite Italian restaurant in NEPA! Love the atmosphere, the service and the food! Only drawback is we live 5 hours away but stop for dinner @ the bar every time we are in town.“

“Always wonderful! Today we had the maple toffee cake with cream cheese icing for dessert. Fabulous!“

“Food is always perfect, and the owner is always so nice on the phone and when taking out! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Probably my favorite restaurant downtown right now, I could eat this food every single day. Handmade pasta, delicious sauces and of course the meatballs! Our waiter is always a delight. The atmosphere is something you'd find in Manhattan or Philly, a great place for couples or a group dinner.“

“First time trying Club 17 tonight 3/17/23. Absolutely awesome. The red pizza was some of the best I’ve had in Old Forge. Light, crispy and flavorful sauce. The fresh tomato and garlic pizza was equally amazing. Super fresh ingredients and the garlic was the perfect amount. The star of the show for me though was the Rigatoni Abruzzi with hot sausage. It’s done in a light creamy tomato sauce with roasted red peppers, hot Italian sausage and just the right amount of chili flake. Everything was awesome and we got it to go. I’m sure it would be even better sit down in the restaurant which we will certainly be trying in the near future. Highly recommend.“

“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“

“Our new favorite pizza place! The sweet sauce is delicious. Their wings and hoagies are really good, too. Inexpensive and a great value for your money. And their customer service is top notch!! 🍕“

“Great food and pleasant wait staff!“

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

“Absolutely Fantastic! Angelo was wonderful!“

“If I had to have my last meal on earth it would be RIGHT HERE! The greatest food ever!“

“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.“

“I went there for the first time on October 3rd. The food was excellent, and the staff were very friendly. Even though they didn't have a mocktail menu, the bartender made one on the fly, which was also excellent!“

“there food was delicious and the staff was very good“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Have always had a great meal and pleasant experience. Anything I’ve tried has been great and desserts are a must (I usually pass on desserts anywhere else…)“

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

“I love this place. The ravioli de portabello was wonderful to have back. I miss it again. It sold out March 10. Weeks before the advertisement!! I hope they bring it back permanently! It's a favorite because no other restaurants serve it around this area!“

“Ordered for the first time yesterday for lunch. The food I ordered was delicious and fresh with good quality ingredients. The guy that took my order was kind and patient which is appreciated and delivery was fast. Prices are reasonable as well. Great job D’Amore thanks again for the great food, service and delivery!“

“Been here twice and best food around everything is homemade and the staff so friendly me and my family love coming here“

“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..“

“Hands down the absolute best pizza in the area, always friendly like visiting an old friend! Highly recommend!!“

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

“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.“

“We recently moved to the area a year ago and was looking for a perfect place to have our daughters 1st birthday party when we came across St. Anthony Center. On June 3 2023 we had our daughters party and it was absolutely fabulous I couldn’t have asked for a better place and better staff to have our daughters party at. They helped with everything and anything we needed and our family enjoyed Linda and everything she did for us. We are now looking forward to having future events at St. Anthony Center! Thank you again for a perfect event!“

“The thai chicken soup might be one of the best things I’ve ever tasted in my life.“

“Had a Brunch at the Highlands today after a funeral and the meal was great. A hidden gem. Try it“

“I've lived around the corner for a year, but never tried their place 'til last night. Got a pizza for my upstairs neighbor and myself to split. It's unique, and for 5$, you can't beat it. She and I (mostly me) almost ate the whole 12 cuts too!“

“granted I have been there in a while but when I was there the pizza was OMG DELICIOUS not sure if the gentleman i was chatting w was owner or just worker but he was very polite very respectful I definitely need to make another trip there soon“
