37 Best Italian Restaurants in Scranton

“One of my absolute favorite family owned businesses, owners at so nice and patient. I’ve dined in and ordered from home. It’s affordable which is a plus for me as a single mom. And the food is so yummy. ♥️🩷“

“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!“

“The staff and food is amazing! Generous portions for a great price. Elena (apologize if spelled wrong ) is so sweet and attentive. Darryl is nice and welcoming as well. Makes you feel almost like you’re at home.“

“Excellent service. Quality menu & food.😊“

“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!“

“Great service and amazing food!“

“I’ve had many great experiences with this place especially eating there three times a week lol. The steak and cheese hoagies amazing the fries to die for and the cheeseburgers delicious. 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 �“

“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!“

“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 Fantastic! Angelo was wonderful!“

“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!! 🍕“

“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! ♥️“

“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“

“I love this place. The ravioli de portabello was wonderful to have back. I miss it again. It sold out March 10. Weeks before the advertisement!! I hope they bring it back permanently! It's a favorite because no other restaurants serve it around this area!“

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

“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!“

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

“I've lived around the corner for a year, but never tried their place 'til last night. Got a pizza for my upstairs neighbor and myself to split. It's unique, and for 5$, you can't beat it. She and I (mostly me) almost ate the whole 12 cuts too!“

“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.“

“We recently had breakfast at Carmen’s for the first time. It is a “hidden gem”, IMHO.

The food and beverage quality was very good.

The service was very good as well.

It is the Carmen’s and Lobby atmosphere that creates an “elevated experience”, we love the train station conversion. Very quaint.

So overall, an excellent experience and value.“
