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.“

“Absolutely wonderful meal. I got breakfast and my boyfriend got a wrap and it was amazing! The service is wonderful and it’s so peaceful and such a great environment. Stop in!“

“I was looking for a new restaurant for an evening out with my wife. I found La Rosa Ristorante on Facebook and we went last night. We were pleasantly surprised. Our well made classic cocktails were a great way to start the evening. For appetizers we shared the calamari which had a very light and crispy coating covering the perfectly cook squid. We also shared a bowl of the creamy split pea soup which was delicious. For our entrees, Julie had the veal saltimbocca which was very tasty and tender. I ordered the pork ossobuco which was a special. The pork was a larger portion than I expected and so tender that I didn’t need a knife. We’ll definitely be going back.“

“This was the best meal I've had since I've lived in Scranton, I've been here 23 yrs. We got the Delmonico steak the chef did such an amazing job, the service was great, the atmosphere was beautiful so relaxing really enjoyed it ! Definitely going back !!“

“I ordered a pizza that was on the special and when I got home I quickly realized I had the wrong pizza, so I brought it back. The receptionist told me they would deliver it to my house so I didn’t have to wait. Literally less than 10 minutes later the receptionist who took my order was the one who hand delivered my order to me at my house! I love supporting small businesses with delicious food and customer service that goes above and beyond. Sacco’s Pizzeria is doing a fantastic job, and I can’t wait to place another order! -thank you“

“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“

“pizza was amazing. my first time ordering too ..“

“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.“

“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!“

“We had dinner for my grandmother’s 95th birthday. The food and service were excellent. We were upstairs with our own bathroom. Everything was absolutely perfect! We had a wonderful time.“

“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 !“

“Delicious food and impeccable service. Will be back for sure!“

“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.“

“I had my bridal shower at Lucca in July 2024 and it was an absolutely incredible experience. The food was hot and delicious - we did a the brunch buffet with a sandwiches, eggs and the most amazing bananas foster French Toast. The space was clean, modern, and beautifully decorated with some items we brought, but most supplied by their team like linens and centerpieces. The staff was so kind and helpful to all my guests. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better venue for such a special day. Will definitely be keeping them in mind for further events!!“

“My experience with Carmella’s was in Jim Thorp during the fall festival. I’m always a sucker for Italian desserts so when I saw Carmellas I had to try something. I got a linzer tart and cannoli. First off the cannoli was one of the best I’ve ever had. They were being filled there, and the flavor of the shell and filling was amazing. Linzer tart cookies are one of my favorites. Not only was this cookie the size of my entire hand it was delicious. The cookie was buttery and flaky and the jelly was the perfect flavor. I wish I lived closer to the actual restaurant because I’d be there every week. 10/10!“

“best red velvet cake I ever had“

“It was a take out order so I can't review or give a rating for that. Service was fast. They were there earlier than expected. Food was as expected with Olive Garden quality. Portions on the salad are great. Last time I ordered Olive garden the portions were a bit smaller than I would like for the price.. However I understand they have to do what they need to fo sometimes to remain in the green. All in all it filled me up and tasted great.“
