The staff was incredible — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. And Gabe, the manager, is truly exceptional and made us feel like VIPs.

“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.😊“

“We used Grico’s to cater our wedding and they were fantastic to work with. The catering manager, Marissa, was so easy to communicate with and promptly answered any questions that came up. They had a great selection of meal options and we chose the chicken francaise, blackened salmon with raspberry sauce, and filet mignon. All food choices were INCREDIBLE and all our guests were raving how great the food was. The service was top notch and the bartenders kept our drinks full all night. 10/10 service. We recommend Grico’s to anyone looking for an affordable wedding caterer!“

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.“

“This pizza is great!!! GO ORDER SOME LOL its seriously that good �“

“We came here and had shareables. My sister got the French onion soup which looked and tasted delicious. The atmosphere can be updated but it does fit the menu and climate. I had the ham and cheese triple decker and it was so fresh and wheat bread was amazing. Recommend.“

“Illiano's is by far the best restaurant in the valley. There's something for everyone on the menu. Order the sicilian marinara pizza...thick crust, fresh tomatoes, garlic and plenty of cheese. If you're not happy, it's on you. It's definitely not the food“

“Best Pizza and Meat Sauce!! Mike the owner is a true gentlemen owner and the bar tender Donna is wonderful. I can’t wait to come back and try more!!“

“We ordered the Gramma Sicilian tonight.....Excellent!! The crust was perfection! The blend of sauce, cheese and pesto was the best Gramma pizza I've ever had. The gentleman who handled my order was so welcoming and friendly also! Thank you!“

“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.“

“Our 1st visit was today. OMG!! highly recommended. Pizza variety & crust was amazing, burger was great! Desserts were OMG excellent! We will definitely be going back soon! 😋“

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

“This is a lovely restaurant for a special occasion or for any excuse to go and have a lovely meal. If you are there in the summer, get the long hots - they are amazing. The staff is always super friendly while still maintaining decorum. We always have a great time here, and the food is wonderful.“

“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.“

“Absolutely incredible! Called to pay compliments to the chef. Always comes hot, fresh and never disappoints. 10/10.“

“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! ♥️“

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

“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!“

“Best Zuppa Di Clams anywhere! Friendly staff, fair prices and real Italian/Sicilian meals.“

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

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

“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!“

“Chicks wing and cheese steak Stromboli with mushrooms and peppers and black olives the best in NEPA , you must try it highly recommended“

“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…)“

“This is the second time it was dried out. No taste. And the bottled garlic that they are using was so over powering it for Ed it down. And I asked for a little more sauce. When it came. It was all dried. Like it was sitting g under the heat lamp a long time. This is the second time. And it had no taste. Twice . And the prices have gone sky high for. Pasta. 17 for a lousy dish of clams in sauce that had no taste. I’m very sorry we loved co I g here for years. But the food is. O share what it is. Most likely there is no one watching how this is prepared“

“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!“

“Love this place! The owner and the staff are amazing! The Food is always great! My wife and I enjoy everything we have ever had!“

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

“If there was a zero star option I would give negative stars. Didn’t feel welcomed by the hostess. Walked in and asked for a table for two. Couple minutes later we were walked down to our table. We asked for a booth to sit in. There were more than few booth open and was told there’s a wait for it. She glanced at the booth and still told us to wait. Never coming here again“

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

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you haven’t had Demuros pizza, you’re seriously missing out. From the moment you walk in, you can tell they care about quality. The dough is fresh and handmade, the sauce has the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the cheese is always melted just right. The cheese pull on the double crust white pizza is INSANE😍 Their pizzas come out hot, loaded with toppings, and cooked to perfection every time. You can actually taste the difference in the crust — it’s crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and never greasy. Whether you’re grabbing takeout for the family or ordering delivery for a cozy night in, they make it easy and always get it right. The staff is friendly, the service is fast, and the prices are more than fair for the quality you get. Deals like two fresh, handmade medium pizzas for $19.99 make it a no-brainer. This is the kind of local pizza shop you want to support — consistent, delicious, and welcoming. Once you try it, it’ll become your go-to spot. It’s an absolute Pittston staple! Highly recommend! 🍕🔥“

“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!“

“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.“

“I’ve worked in their kitchen, it’s one of the cleanest in the valley. Had their food today it was very good!“

“Absolutely the best hoagie in the area!!! 💖😁💖😁💖“
