Angelo's Italian Ristorante

Returned to Angelo's on a Wednesday evening after about one year absence. The food and cooking remain as good as ever, but other features of this restaurant are lacking. The wine list is short and unappealing, the dining room is dark and boring, and everything else is not remarkable.

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!

Solid place with well done food. Server was a little infrequent in checking on us but overall a fairly good experience. The tomato bisque soup was excellent and I'd go back just for that.

This was our first time dining at Angelo’s, and it turned out to be a delightful surprise. Everything we tried was exceptionally fresh and flavorful. For appetizers, we enjoyed stuffed mushrooms, zucchini flowers, and shrimp cocktail—all of which were delicious. Our main courses impressed as well; the blackened sea bass, in particular, was outstanding and a personal favorite.
The food quality truly stood out, especially the seafood, which is hard to find fresh in this region. Although the décor is more traditional and lacks the modern flair of newer restaurants around Scranton, the cuisine here far surpasses those trendy spots. Overall, it was a thoroughly satisfying dining experience that left us wondering why we hadn’t visited Angelo’s sooner.

One of the worst restaurants I have been to solely based on service. We were a party of 7 and sat for 20mins before even being greeted and asked for our drink order. We ordered 3 white claws, 1 wine, and 2 martinis. Took 20 mins to receive the white claws and wine ( white claws that were brought out were the wrong flavor). Another 10 mins for the martinis. At this point we have been sitting for 50 mins when finally another server came to get our order. All the staff was nice, but did not seem concerned with how long we were sitting there without being waiting on. Thank god for the server who did come over and take our order because we probably would’ve sat for another 40 mins if we did not say a couple of times that we were ready( and we had just called another restaurant nearby because of how long it was taking to try to get a table there- host must’ve over heard us on the phone and had the other server take our order). From 3 people at the table who are also bartenders/ servers we are very understanding but this was unlike anything I have ever experienced. No sense of urgency, no apology, nothing. AND it did not seem busy at all that night although we were seated inside and could not see how many tables were outside, but still no sense of urgency or apologies from any of the staff. To top it all off, the host wrapped our food but failed to ask my sister if she wanted hers wrapped. She put another dish on top of her pasta on the table without even asking if she wanted hers wrapped. Definitely will not go again and would not recommend.

First time at Angelo’s today 7/19/25. I just wanted a good comforting Italian meal and I was definitely let down. I have to preface this with two things. One, the atmosphere and service were amazing. The bartender, Ally, was super sweet and very attentive. I really enjoyed talking with her. Secondly, maybe it was just my taste buds, but I keep it real so this is my opinion. I got the stuffed long hot peppers as an appetizer. They were absolutely delicious. If I just had that for my meal this review would’ve been 5 stars. Also had complimentary fresh bread with an Alfredo dipping sauce that was delicious as well. I waffled back and forth on what to order as an entree, as so many of the options sounded delicious. I ultimately decided on chicken saltimbocca. Very poor choice on my part. Maybe it was an off night. Maybe it’s me. But it flat out sucked. It was like eating a chicken breast that was wrapped in sage and coated in a Marsala wine reduction. Absolutely terrible. The side of pasta was very delicious. They took the entree off the bill, not that I was looking for anything for free. But what pissed me off was that the chef said there was no sage in the dish. You have a better chance of seeing Sasquatch walk through your back yard than there not being sage in that dish. And 10 times too much of it. Don’t insult my intelligence, I know what sage tastes like. I like sage but little bit goes a long way, not to mention it’s a traditional ingredient for saltimbocca. Anyway, sorry to rant. I’m just a little irritated that I wanted a good meal on a Saturday night, still spent $70 and leave hungry and disappointed. Oh well. Too many other good options in NEPA than to take a chance here again.

Outside patio was nice, food was excellent. Service was not good, ordered second drink & never got it, asked for pepper for my salad & never got it. Also got veal dish but not the veal I ordered. Had to wait 20 minutes to get water. Not sure if waitress was new or just couldn't handle amount of people. I will return due to food being very good.

Excellent food, excellent service and beautiful dining room. Thank you so much 😊

It has not changed! It's still a neighborhood gem and the food is still great 👍

My husband and I love Angelo's. It is one of our favorites in the area. The food is always terrific...my favorite is the Veal Champagne, but my husband had the Veal Parmesan and it was a great portion and delicious. Drinks are also very good.
