50 Best Italian Restaurants near Old Forge

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Had to travel to Wilkes Barre, well worth the extra time to go to Old Forge. The classic red pizza tray was delicious, whole family loved it. Crust was perfect slightly crispy on bottom and great bread texture. The tomato and onion flavors are well balanced. The white pizza is also good, tons of cheese. Goes great with tomato soup the next day. Only slight issue was woody rosemary leaves on the white pizza, other seasonings are tasty. The kids enjoyed a quick game of bocce ball while the adults picked up the pizzas. Staff were friendly. Didn't get dessert this time but they're always delicious too“

“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!“

“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 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!“

“One of the best kept secrets in WB and surrounding area.. Why is the food so much better is simple, all fresh ingredients.n no linen tablecloths or napkins. illianos is very clean and Marion is not only a co-owner, but an excellent server.

“One of the best restaurants in NEPA! Do not miss this place. The ambiance and service are lovely. The staff is always willing to make accommodations. But, this place is such a gem because of their wide range of gluten free options!! It is so hard to find GF items in NEPA, let alone this big of a selection. The GF chicken parm in the pictures is INCREDIBLE. I will always come back here!“

“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! ♥️“

“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!“

“Food was great. Tripe was probably the best I had in the area and service was excellent. The cook even came out asking how everything was. Very personable and great atmosphere. I highly recommend.“

“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…)“

“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“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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! 🍕🔥“

“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“

“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..“

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

“Lemme just tell you, I wanna kiss Giuseppe right now! We ordered subs, wings and pizza and drove it back to Scranton. Everything was fire ?. How have I not eaten here before.? You guys got your s*** together, lemme tell you!! I'll be back, Jack!!“
