50 Best Italian Restaurants near Spring Brook

“I have many special memories here with family. The best memory was in July during a holiday celebration. I brought my boyfriend Abdullah to meet my family and it was one of the most special memories that I cherish deeply. Most recently when I came, I saw many peers from high school who may or may not have noticed me. Most distinctively, I saw a former athlete. This colleague used to be one of the best North Pocono football players as well as North Pocono track & field athletes who had his year book picture iconically taken on the railroad tracks. I would highly recommend coming here if you want to see North Pocono School District legends as well as have amazing food.“

“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!“

“I can not thank the staff of A Little Pizza Heaven for the amazing Thanksgiving sides you provide. Everything is absolutely delicious! The stuffing is incredible!! Since my mom passed away I haven't enjoyed stuffing until this year when I had yours. Everything is made to perfection! The portions and pricing is also great! On a normal basis, all your meals are fabulous! The staff is kind and courteous. Everything is always fresh and consistent. I can't forget to mention, for dessert cheesecake calzone and s'mores calzone are to die for!! Thanks for all you do!“

“Casa Bella impresses from start to finish. The excellent staff sets the tone, and the food absolutely delivers. The spinach ravioli with Alfredo sauce and the penne and vodka is rich, fresh, and unforgettable, and the crème brûlée is the perfect sweet finish—silky, crisp, and downright addictive. Cozy atmosphere, spectacular flavors, and service that makes you feel right at home. A must-visit.“

“Excellent service. Quality menu & food.😊“

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

“We heard about this place on NEPA Pizza Review and since we happen to be in Scranton today we stopped there to eat lunch. It's such a nice, clean place with friendly staff. We had the large pizza with sausage and it was absolutely delicious!! We'll definitely go back!!!“

“Stumbled on Sofia’s while driving from Erie to NJ and had to jump off the highway to get gas. Place is super clean (even the bathroom) and the staff is really friendly. I just had a few slices which were huge and came out hot. Can definitely compete with NYC pizza.“

“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!“

“I always like the quality and prompt service. I never have to wait too long, and the food is always delicious. I've been a happy customer for over 25 years.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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! ♥️“

“We visited Augustine's with a large group of 20 people and were incredibly impressed with the level of service we received. Despite the size of our party, our single waitress handled everything with remarkable efficiency and professionalism. She managed all our drink and food orders promptly, and every item arrived hot, fresh, and perfectly prepared.

We ordered a variety of appetizers, entrees, pizzas, drinks, and desserts, and everything was served in well-timed stages. No one waited too long, and the quality of the food was outstanding—every dish was delicious. Not a single person in our group left hungry or disappointed.

We highly recommend Augustine's and will absolutely return the next time we're 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“

“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!! 🍕“

“Tripe is the BEST i've ever had!!!!!“

“Absolutely Fantastic! Angelo was wonderful!“

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

“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.“

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

“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’ve had several events in the banquet room at Luccas. They are the most kind and accommodating staff. The owner Tori is a pleasure to deal with and goes above and beyond to make sure your event will be perfect. They food is great, the service is fantastic and atmosphere is spot on for all occasions. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make our events perfect!“

“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“

“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!“

“Our family ordered the sweet sauce pizza and the hot honey pepperoni. They were both round. The dough was fresh and cooked to perfection. The hot honey pepperoni pizza blended so well and gave it an amazing combined flavor. The sweet sauce pizza was a delight. I ordered the Philly chicken cheesesteak on a wrap and it was loaded with flavor. The portion of the wrap was significantly larger than any wrap I’ve ever had. We also tried the mild honey garlic wings. The wings were very large and crispy. Overall this was an excellent experience for our family and we intend to return as regular customers.“

“We eat here a lot. But tonight they knocked it out of the park. DELICIOUS!!! We usually get dinners, but tonight we also got the garlic mild wing bites. They had just the right amount of heat, and the flavor was AMAZING!!! 10/10“

“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..“

“Best chicken parm in the area, and the owner is lovely!“

“We ordered our first take out order today from Samarios Scranton location , and we were very pleased with our food. The NY pizza half pepperoni and half sausage pepperoni was outstanding. We also ordered a cheese steak hoagie and an Italian hoagie and both were delicious, huge and generously filled. We will definitely order again.“

“Never disappoints always so good“

“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.“

“Never disappoints always so good“

“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!“

“We lucked upon this place after late arrival at one of the many chain hotels surrounding. Marguerita pizza was crispy and sauce excellent. Salads large and fresh. Italian wedding soup was definitely homemade., Bonus of fireworks at minor league baseball park below. We had a great young woman serve us- off to Goldsboro, NC next couple months with her soon-to-be husband and his military training. Just a delightful energy. She was very excited about attending the Marine ball--which we have seen and is a beautiful event. We pray for her future success and she definitely has a very bright future ahead of her!“

“growing up mexican the recipes taste exactly like how my mom used to make them, 1000/10“

“Best place to go for all your pizza needs“

“Had never been here before. Found them on the upside app & decided to give it a try. Food & service was good. Would go back again.“

“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.“

“Simply the BEST.“

“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“

“Authentic neighborhood Italian restaurant. Amazed at depth of menu at reasonable prices. Take-home box needed after. Most surprising: management identified $$ on floor where we had been seated and sent it to us via friends. We had already been recommending this place before we were contacted about the money. They have special nights, too. We were there on jazz night; live music.“

“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! ?)“

“I had the New York style pizza, it was great. Fresh mushrooms, the best red sauce. I should be back in November to try the Old Forge style pizza. Marty talked my ear off and I loved it. The best restaurant owner you could possibly meet. Our Greeter/Waitress/Floor Manager was great, she offered me lemon in my water, which I gladly accepted. Clean, busy, focused menu, family feel. Great.“

“Excellent Italian food. Family friendly.“
