31 Best Italian Restaurants in Scranton

“Extraordinary is an understatement. This establishment is phenomenal in every aspect, from its atmosphere to the family ownership, cuisine, and pricing. I highly recommend Anthony's with absolute certainty, and I appreciate supporting small, family-owned businesses.  #LoveMyFamilia“

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

“Wonderful service and making our meal special“

“My spouse and I have been dining in at Sacco's for the last few years and it has always been a great experience. We have been ordering the subs like the chicken parmesan and eggplant Parmesan. The food tastes so good and is always of great quality. The prices are very reasonable too. The staff are always friendly, extremely accommodating and professional.“

“AV is my family's favorite restaurant. They have a variety of different options on their menu, from homemade pastas, to fresh seafood, to decadent fresh salads. The ingredients and pairings are absolutely out of this world, and are comparable to a NYC level of presentation and taste.
The service is impeccable. From the moment you walk through the door, you are greeted with warm & smiling faces. The servers are very thorough, extremely welcoming, and make you feel like you belong. They are very knowledgeable about the menus, and are happy to give great suggestions.
To say that AV Restaurant is the best restaurant in Scranton isn't even scratching the surface of just how fabulous of an establishment it truly is. If I could give 10 stars I would. You must give this place a try!!!!“

“Just dined here tonight for the first time. It was wonderful! Our server, Abigail was professional and friendly. The food was fantastic. The Brooklyn Bomber pizza was terrific and the duck wings couldn’t have been better! I’ll definitely be back & recommend this place to anyone in the area!“

“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!! 🍕“

“Absolutely Fantastic! Angelo was wonderful!“

“Last night a waitress here clearly tried to rob us! I paid $45 cash then wanted to put the rest on my card. She came back said the card machine was broken ( no big deal) My dad handed her a $50 bill&she never brought his change back. I asked her for a receipt to show we paid, she gave me a song and a dance about having to go write up another receipt. We had already been there for 2 hours & I had to leave, on my way way home I realized I forgot to leave tip on table so I called to give my cc info to leave the tip. later that evening I got a call back saying I never fully paid the bill. That waitress took his $50 and pocketed it!! When I spoke to her on phone she flat out lied!!, even though I told her (after I paid) that she never gave him the change she even said (oh I owe you whatever the amount was) She said we never gave her the $50!?! my elderly dad clearly pulled it out of his wallet & handed it to her. Thankfully Christine the manager took care of everything for us! Btw it wasn't Wendy she was awesome it was the other lady there on 2/22 evening short dark hair! Needless to say we won't be back! Why would I ask for a receipt or change back if we didn't pay you!?!?!?!?!?!But watch who you hire Sidels... She a bad one!! To try and steal from an elderly man with dementia!?!?! Karma is a b**** girly, I hope your mom is proud of you!! Ty Christine and Wendy for being a great waitress! Food was wonderful! and never had another issue here!“

“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“

“I never leave reviews, but I was so impressed by my experience here on Saturday that I just feel like I really have to. My girlfriends and I met here for a girls night over the weekend and every single one of the four of us had nothing but great things to say about the whole evening. The service vibes were IMMACULATE; from the hostess, to the server, to the bartender, everyone added a positive energy to the restaurant. The food and drinks.. MY GAWD. We ordered quite a bit of food for the four of us to share, and there was not one single thing that we didn’t love; seriously, we talked about how good the food was for hours to everyone any anyone who would listen. Its two days later and I’m still talking about it and telling my husband that we need to make a reservation for our next date night. Seriously, one of the best restaurant experiences I have ever had.“

“I ordered a meat stromboli. I told the girl meat i wanted pepperoni ham sausage. They gave me their regular one and added the thee meat. She said yes you order a meat. I said yes she called the guy that made it I'm guess the owner said it wa my fault I didn't tell them I did want all the other stuff. I ordered a meat stromboli. I left it on the counter. Never asked me if I wanted my money back or make me a new one. I didn't make a big deal. they had a few people. But I'm so made I never go back. I have made many meat stromboli when I worked at a restaurant. Terrible!! It had mushroom in it that I'm allergic to.“

“What a wonderful visit we had. Myself and two daughters enjoyed the breadsticks and salad, which were delicious and accompanied by 3 entrees, which were wonderful. However, the best part by far of our visit was the waitress Rena. I never met a more friendly, but not over the top waitress. She didn't Miss A beat and had the most genuine energetic smile and personality. I would go back to just visit her. I sure hope she works on tuesdays every week. Thank you Rena“

“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..“

“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 like that it's in walking distance from my apartment at Mulberry Towers. I can go there get milk and pick up something to with my food stamps. I just moved to downtown Scranton and there aren't that many places I can go to within walking distance.I do think it's dark inside and makes it hard to see things. I don't like that you have to buy something and get the keys before you can use restroom. There aren't many places to go downtown and sometimes you really need to go.“

“We tried Roma pizza for the first time today. As soon as I got it home, it was devoured and never had pizza in the house that went so fast.
That wouldn't mean much except we do pizza every Friday night and have for 16 yrs.
Roma Pizza is Pizza Amore'
Shout out to Rachel and Kaylee. Tell the chef great job!“

“Just ate there prices are reasonable. Food is delicious. 🍔 🍕“

“We’ve been on a hunt to try out new places for delivery to our business, happy to have stumbled across DaVinci’s! We placed our order in advance to secure delivery, they showed up right on time & it was thumbs up across the board from our team. We will definitely be ordering again!“

“Beautiful restaurant within the Radisson Lackawanna hotel. Reservations are suggested although we were the only 2 people eating from 6pm-7pm on a Saturday evening. I believe it was because the hotel was hosting a large party and most of the guests were probably there. The evening prior, the restaurant was full. We were served quickly and our drinks were brought along with warm bread and butter. We ordered pasta and crab cakes and our meals came out quickly. Everything was so hot, fresh and tasty. My scallops were tender and my cousin enjoyed the lump crab meat in her crab cakes and vegetables. Dessert was a delectable warm creme brulee. Prices were fair. We would definitely recommend dining here.“

“I am so glad I found this gem! The staff are so welcoming, the food is delicious, the prices are extremely affordable and the atmosphere is delightful ?

I love coming here!

(Seriously, try the cheesecake with raspberry drizzle! ?)“
