23 Best Italian Restaurants near Simpson

“Had a great evening at Frank's Place❤️ The food was fabulous and the service and atmosphere equally great. It was truly worth the drive up from Scranton. Looking forward to my next meal at Frank's.“

“My husband and I decided to try this place for the first time and we were amazed! We started with potato pancakes, calamari, and the mozzarella en Carozza and it was like it was touched by the hand of God it was so delicious! Then I had the pretzel chicken with the mashed potatoes and the green beans! I've been looking for pretzel chicken done this way all over the valley and this is the only place that does it the way I like it with the mustard sauce. My dinner also came with a soup and I chose the Italian wedding and it tasted better than mine! My husband had the Joseph's double stuffed crust pizza with pepperoni added on top and we've had other double stuffed crust white pizzas before and this one is at the top of the list! We're definitely coming back and we will be bringing friends and family! Thank you so much for the amazing experience and our waitress was absolutely fantastic and extremely attentive!“

“Easily some of the best food in NEPA“

“Przepyszne jedzenie. Miła obsługa. Gorąco polecam.“

“amazing food with great pricing! I had the ravioli and eggplant rollatini and it was delicious! The owner cooked and said his family was from Brooklyn. You can tell! it's one of the best Italian food options in NEPA and beyond! can't wait to try more dishes.“

“We had the four cheese pepperoni and fried onion pizza and an Italian hoagie. Absolutely delicious. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Great food and easy parking lot pickup! Everything is fresh, homemade, and very reasonably priced. Great service and Pierre is a pleasure to talk with too! It’s a real gem of an Italian restaurant in Carbondale.“

“Couldn't be more exquisite! I just went to dinner there so I can't comment on rooms. I say the location is excellent because they have outdoor dining overlooking the lake. But if you're just going for dinner it's about a 35 minute ride from Scranton, but well worth the drive, as there is no other place like it locally.The staff is utterly attentive. It's also beautiful overlooking the lake while the sun sets. Most importantly is the food. There was a group of us getting together as we went through school with everyone. We chose a five course dinner. Each dish was excellent. Served in a perfectly timed manner. There were several meat dishes which were extremely delicious. All dishes we had were as well. The cost for each of us was $90.00 for five courses. Very fair price for quality dishes.Also, it's so refreshing sitting outside close to the water. It creates a beautiful environment while dining. We ended up staying quite a long time, it may have been past closing, yet they never made us feel uncomfortable and never rushed us. If I had to choose among other restaurants, I would choose dining there above all other places. Perfect for special occasions.Food & drinks: As I stated, the food is five stars. There is also a bar on the deck so you never had to wait.Noteworthy details: Again, dining outside overlooking Crystal Lake is simply outstanding.“

“Very good food, comfortable room.“

“I've come here multiple times with my family and always love the food. Tonight I had stuffed peppers and a really excellent butternut squash soup. Staff is always very nice, the restaurant has a warm, friendly, and cozy atmosphere. Great place overall.“

“Excellent omelette, interesting atmosphere. It felt like what a 50s diner must feel like for 90 year olds, but this was for 90s kids. Didn't appreciate the tip being added in automatically, it's not really a tip if it's compulsory.“

“best red velvet cake I ever had“

“I had the most delicious Chicken Francaise at the Club at the Highlands tonight, accompanied by mashed potatoes and zucchini superbly prepared and artfully presented. The sauce was to die for! I had a generous side salad that came with my meal. My companion had the round Archbald pizza that was a considerable size for a very reasonable $12! We both enjoyed an Alligash draft beer. It was a quiet night, the dining room was comfortable with a nice ambience and our very attentive server took care of us quickly. All in all, we thought the food, service and atmosphere were excellent. We enjoyed our meal at The Highlands very, very much!“
