Scranton, at the center of the Lackawanna River Valley and nestled between the Pocono and Endless Mountains, is surrounded by nature. Just ten miles from the city is Lackawanna State Park, where visitors are welcome to sail or ice skate across the 198-acre Lackawanna Lake.

10. Fratelli's Pizza and Pasta House

An Italian eatery tucked in downtown, unprepossessing exterior, but good food and lots of it! Wait staff were very pleasant. Large selection of choices, extensive menu. Service was pretty quick and attentive. Very reasonable prices, couldnt believe the tab was only $18 for 2 people! We even had leftovers which we ate the next day. Try their hoagies, they are made on the softest bread and they certainly do not skimp on ingredients. Their booths are pretty big, so lots of room to scoot around in. Well kept interior.

Maroni's Square Pizza is consistently delicious. It has a unique cheese and sauce that's different from other pizza in the area. The staff is very friendly and it's run by nice local people. They have tables and offer take out too. They also have round pizza and hoagies. Go prepared it's cash only and they do not have an ATM. If you haven't had Maroni's you have to try it..!

Try the Cod Italiano, you will not be disapointed. Gnocchi are handmade by Angelo and delish with Vodka sauce. Remember to bring your own wine as this is a BYOB. Kathy will most likely greet and you will be lucky if she is your waitress!

We ate here mainly because it was close to our hotel. The food sounded good after a day of travel. I had a beer, which they brew, that was good. The waiter was polite and pleasant. The best menu item we ordered was the adult grilled cheese. The stuffed shells were good as was the pizza. It was a nice spot for a family to eat.

We really enjoy most of your entrees but your spaghetti sauce is killing your business! Please change your sauce before it puts you out of business! I thought you would of noticed how many patrons send their food back or just refuse it!! Nothing seems to change though!!

Visiting our son at University of Scranton who insisted we eat here. Great choice for reasonably mid-priced dinner from the delicious 3 super sized meatballs and whipped ricotta & chips to the entrees which included 2 daily specials - chopped entree salad and the pesto/ bay scallops/ linguine. The 1/4 roast chicken & vegetables hit the mark as well which was accompanied with a strawberry spinach salad. Finally we shared an delicious home made brownie (has nuts) with vanilla gelato. Note- only a few light salad selections to choose from to eat healthy
3. Sambucca Italian Grille & Bar

We continue to believe that the Sambucca Grille remains one of the best finds in the downtown Scranton area. We first visited over 4 years ago, and had the opportunity to go back again this weekend. The cavatelli salsiccia was my favorite - served with mixed peppers and sundries tomatoes. Our table also enjoyed fresh Carbonara, and the Penne alla vodka. Coffee and dessert was a nice way to end the perfect special dinner for our family. Recommended again!

My wife and I recently discovered this wonderful restaurant. Not fancy from the outside, but once you're in, its nothing but authentic italian food, and consistantly terrific service, with a pleasant atmosphere. I could list our meal choices but after 3 visits, we would rather say its all good, and very good at that. We look forward to our return.

My family and I were heading through Scranton and were looking for Italian. We came across this restaurant and the food was amazing, the portions were large. The garlicky Zeppole (garlic dough) was to die for. We will definitely eat at this place again while traveling.Jason F.. thank you so much for stopping by on your way through Scranton. The Trip Advisor community has always been very kind to us, which encourages folks like you to stop by. I am happy you enjoyed the food. The garlic zeppole is by far the number 1 appetizer on the menu, I'm glad you liked it. I look forward to seeing you again soon. Darryl
