The best. Top notch food and service. Cozy, comfortable, very nice ambiance, often with fitting live music. A gem!!

We went there 3 weeks ago and it was amazing and then we were there last weekend and was just ok. My wife had the same dish both times,, amaracitiana. The first time was absolutely delicious, rivaled the same dish we had in Italy, but this time it wasn't good at all. We couldn't believe it was the same dish. She didn't even eat the meal. The service was also poor this time. She never came back to ask if we wanted another drink or water. She served the meal and disappeared. She never even asked how our meal was . The bartender had no idea how to make an old fashioned which was very disappointing. The bartenders were pumping out the drinks, but not the quality you would expect at a restaurant like this. I was hoping the owner stopped by like he did last time to ask how everything was, but he never did. I wanted to share my thoughts with him directly because as a business owner myself, I always appreciate feedback that could be helpful. We brought friends with us expecting our first experience. They too left uninspired for pretty much the same reasons. One last thing, turning the lights out frequently for birthdays became annoying after awhile. Hopefully this review will be noticed by the owners so they could remedy these shortcomings. Scranton could really use a place like this if they can remain consistent with their food and improve on their service and drink quality. Thank you and good luck. I'm pulling for you! read more

Went here for lunch and it was wonderful. The food was fresh and delicious. I'm going back for dinner!

Made reservations for 7:30. We were not seated until after 8:00, reservations are not honored, it is more a first come first serve. Our seats were located in the worst spot for dinner, it seemed the table was added in to make more seating, it was small with chairs that didn't match the nicer chairs at the other tables. We were almost in the hallway of the waiters area where they put together silverware and place the orders- high traffic and very loud. It was also very cold inside, made worse by the constant wind created from the servers going in and out of the hallway area. My seat was almost on top of the table behind us. Very uncomfortable. Service was not attentive, took a long time to get a glass of wine. The food was pretty good, but over all not an enjoyable experience specifically due to the table location, and the long wait despite making a reservation. read more

Picciocchi's Pasta - Italian Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

The food at this restaurant was amazing and the service was excellent. To be honest, we were extremely surprised that we found it in Scranton, Pennsylvania homemade pasta. The prices are excellent and the portions are excellent as well. I highly recommend this restaurant for anybody passing through or coming to see their kids at the university of Scranton. The ambience is also excellent with bar seating or just regular restaurant seating but the location is not huge by any means. We parked in the steam town mall parking garage. I encourage you to make sure that you call for a reservation. read more

Very good food, friendly service... highly recommend.. the Charcuterie is delish, the calamari pasta is very tasty and filling

the food was absolutely delicious. I got the bruschetta, one of the eggplant dishes with a side of pesto spaghetti, and the tiramisu. The service was top notch. the waiter was very attentive and the owner even came by a couple of times so see how we were doing and joked with us a bit! the ambiance was amazing. the table ware was gorgeous and it was beautifully decorated. I definitely recommend!! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the homemade quality of the food at Picciocchi's. I travel for work and was in the mood for some good Italian food. Picciocchi's did not disappoint. I had the calamari for a starter and the bucatini dinner option. Both were delicious and well cooked, just right for both dishes. I love that they only have Italian wines, not french and no california. I had to try something different and it was a fantastic glass of Red. I can't remember what it was, but awe soooo good. When is Scranton and in the mood for Italian, you must visit Picciocchis. It was hard to find at first as I couldn't see the sign from the street. It's very discreet but worth hunting for. Enjoy! read more

If you knew me- you know I know food. And I'm Italian with grandparents who grew up in Italy. Picciocchi's Pasta is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! From the moment we sat down, we were greeted with excellent service. We ordered the calamari and meatballs. The calamari was so tender, and the meatballs were so good, we took an order home with us. Chef Picciocchi was out and about the entire time checking on every table. He made you feel like a VIP. He made a recommendation for my dinner and it was incredible- Chicken Scallopini with pesto spaghetti. My son ate all of his pizza, and Chef Picciocchi made him an additional two slices! They ran out of gelato, so they brought us two different desserts instead. Food Service Atmosphere Drinks I would go back tomorrow...It was so delicious! read more

We had Fried Calamari and the Mortadella Pizza with Cocktails, simply amazing. For dinner we had Amatriciana Pasta, Lobster Ravioli with shrimp and Eggplant Parmesan. The dishes were spectacular. I visited from NYC and will visit again. All the staff was impeccable and knowledgeable. CONGRATS read more

Just wow. My mother and I stopped in while visiting family and we were blown away. First of all the Patio and restaurant are gorgeous, thats what drew us in. We stopped at the bar for a glass of wine, Ashley gave us such great recommendations that we decided to stay for some anti-pasta despite out tight schedule! The clams were to die for! Can't wait to come back to try the home made pasta!!! Especially because my sister has celiac disease and we learned that there is house made gluten free pasta available!!! read more

We heared about this italian restaurant from family friends, and we were deeply dissapointed. The space is beautiful , but the food is mediocre and the person in charge (looks like a chef, not sure if hes the manager, chef, owner..) walks around and yells at the staff and corects customers on their "italina" pronounciation . Not going back anytime soon read more

Always absolutely delicious. Love their new pizza menu. We've been coming here for many years. Owners are always welcoming and so friendly. Highly recommended if you want real pasta from real Italians. read more

Unassuming place in a shopping center. If you weren't looking for it, no chance you go there. And what a loss that would be. Owner/chef is from Italy. Could not be any nicer. Food is the star of the show. Fresh pasta with pesto was off the chain. So damn good. The restaurant itself has zero ambience. It's an old pizza parlor with a few booths and tables. The food is amazing so I couldn't possibly care less. It's a byob. Gerrity,s has wine if you forget to bring your own. It's a bit pricey but worth every penny. I cannot wait to get back there read more

Great food I like that the cook/owner hand delivered every dish to the table. Nice large space and beautiful ambiance. We did go on Christmas Eve so at first they misplaced our reservation but they found us a table. They also forgot to bring our mixed drinks over to the table. We didn't get them until after the salads and we asked again but since it was just opening that week and it was a holiday that was ok. Mistakes are expected to be made sometimes. The food made up for it. The desserts looked amazing wish we weren't so stuffed! read more

No matter how good the food eventually was, by the time we were seated we were pretty much over it. Stood there for nearly an hour with just the odd 'sorry'. No offer of a drink or a seat at the bar. Thought we might get fast service as it took so long to get seated but we sat there another 15 minutes before even getting offered water. Reservation was for 7:45 and we were still finishing up as staff were cleaning and setting the rest of the tables. Avoid second sitting at all cost and you might have a great night. Just the food rating for this place would likely have been a 5 star. read more

Amazing food and service! Highly recommend and must return :). Don't forget to have dessert!

cheese raviolis were very disappointing. hardly any cheese in them, Sevrioli brand at the grocery store were better. I did have them in blush sauce and that was delicious. Service was good and the place is beautiful. Also, condiments on the table would be appreciated. read more

I had to give one star in order to give a review. Actually, it is zero stars. If you like, poor Service, undercooked pasta, and very, very uncomfortable seating this is your place. If I wanted to eat on a couch, I would stay in my living room. very pretentious and with very limited staff. We ordered but never received our appetizer, when we received our dinners we told him to keep the appetizer. They brought it anyway. had to wait about a half hour to get a drink. Seriously, if you want a nice dinner with nice service go to a more established restaurant where they actually know what they are doing read more

This place is tucked away in the most unassuming strip malls. And don't let it fool you -- the restaurant is far and above one of the most beautiful meals I have ever had. Sandwiches are top notch, but the bread (focaccia, specifically) is just out of this world. Homemade pastas are just splendid and they're only matched by the red sauce. Staff is really great and attentive and the owner is an absolute gem. We will be back every single time we pass through Clark's Summit. read more

Amazing home made pasta and Italian food. Their stuffed pasta is incredible. I found it first at a local supermarket and then had to find the store. So worth the trip (over 20 miles away).... The import section had so many items I enjoyed! Can't wait to go back to Clarks Summit and eat and shop there again. Outstanding. If you like Italian food - don't hesitate.! read more

I had to travel yesterday to the Wyoming Valley for a business appointment and took the opportunity to visit with my old friend, Bill Toms, of Clarks Green. Bill and I worked together as investigators with the Commonwealth many years ago and strive to keep in touch. While there, we stumbled upon Picciocchi's Pasta. Neither Bill or I had been there in the past but just from observing from the outside it appeared to have a great variety of pasta offerings. To say that Picciocchi's is a spectacular pasta emporium is simply an understatement. I know that the NE region of the county is rich in Italian eateries, but Stefano, the head chef and owner, in partnership with his wife, Kristy, take their culinary craft to an altogether new level. Awesomely great food, combined with friendly and outstanding service, will make Picciocchi's a frequent go-to restaurant during my periodic trips to Clarks Summit. read more

Picciocchi's Pasta - Italian Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

Fresh, homemade, and imported Italian delicacies. Stefano, the owner, was a gracious host. We live out of town but will certainly go back again! Quaint little place so I'm glad we called ahead. Start with the caprese salad topped with the imported buffalo mozzarella. You won't be sorry! read more

Picciocchi's Pasta - Meat ravioli with bolognese - Italian Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

See all

Amazing food, dishes you can't get at other Italian restaurants. Even usual items are done with traditional recipes in a different way, not the usual. So much better than anywhere else! And the people are friendly and welcoming and take excellent care of you. Location is in a strip mall and so not the best ambience, but still the whole experience was wonderful. Try some of their items which they ship online from their website. read more

Pasta is fresh and made onsite. Don't go with a group larger than four as kitchen cannot do multiple entrees at same time. Meals come out as cooked so everyone at the table does not receive their meal simultaneously. read more

Absolutely wonderful. I ordered over the phone from their online menu and everything was exactly as ordered, fast and absolutely perfect. Next time I will order in store though, they had several things that weren't on their website that looked delicious. I can't wait to go back. read more

Picciocchi's Pasta - Italian Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

Excellent homemade pasta and sauces at very good prices. Staff are very friendly and attentive.

What a great little spot! We ordered the meat ravioli and meat lasagna to-go tonight, and not only was it ready in 15 minutes, but it was delicious and super-affordable. It's nice to support a local restaurant, too! I saw homemade tiramisu and cherry cheesecake in the window that looked phenomenal- I'll have to come back! read more

Fantastic food and service! Kristy and Stefano are so kind and welcoming. The pasta is truly authentic Italian cuisine and delicious!

What a find. We have been stopping there since last year, after a Valentines day take out dinner. Their pasta lets you know what genuine Italian cooking is all about. If you live in the Abington area and haven't tried it, you're cheating yourself. read more

One of the worst experiences I've ever had I don't recommend it to anyone I've had long waiting to be waited on they were very rude and inconsiderate and the food was horrible definitely not real Italian read more

4 visits to Picciocchi's in Clark's Summit and time to post. Having tried just about everything both eating there and bringing product home I can say without a doubt this is the best fresh Italian I have found anywhere in the states. From pasta to sauces to entrees to imported speciality products it doesn't get more authentic. Huaband and wife only in the States for a little over a year now and they have brought all of there "true authentic " talents with them and they are over the top in wanting to expose all to the true tastes of Italy and Europe. A must go to destination if you truly love quality and authenticity. read more

The best pasta and sauce! Had the classic lasagna and the spaghetti with bolenaise. Delicious and really great sauces. Love this place! Took out lasagna and Pesto lasagne last night and Damn was it great! My girl who hates Pesto loved it too read more

O M G!!!!! So my husband is an excellent cook, so it is hard to give him a night off and get takeout that is anywhere near his culinary expertise. Well, I found the place! He raved about their meat sauce, the ravioli, the eggplant parm and so much more! And my picky 14-year-old loved loved loved the gnocchi and sauce! Unheard of in this picky house! I will absolutely be frequenting this place...and I so miss the old-world Italian presence I knew in South Jersey before moving to NEPA. If only we weren't wearing masks, I would have hugged and kissed them both...OMG...and how can I forget the cheesecake! It is totally like my aunt Rita's ricotta pie! Out of this world! read more

Excellent food and service...love that the owner is there working and available to talk with you! It shows how much they care about the quality of their products! A definite stop again...5 stars! read more

Picciocchi Pasta is a great, authentic Italian restaurant to pick up fresh pasta and delicious sauces. We ordered a dish where you get three different kinds of pasta and three different sauces. It was a nice way to try the variety. I'd definitely go back :-) read more

Absolutely amazing food and owners. You won't find better, more authentic Italian food anywhere else in the area. A true gem for the area! They'll make you any kind of pasta you'd like. Will be going back frequently for sure. read more

The problem with this restaurant is that it only has five stars it was an excellent experience Steffano the owner couldn't of been nicer kind considerate and all the sauces are spectacular. I would recommend that you get small portions so you can try different types of sauces, and pastas. When we told him what we were going to do that he brought out a variety of different pastas and sauces. He took very good care of us you can see his passion for the food and for his love of people. Our stomachs were full and our hearts were happy. Highly recommend. We live an hour away but we will go back fortunately for us and our children live there. Can't wait to go back. read more

Phenomenal scratch made pasta right from Italy. All the ingredients (and the owner) are imported to Clarks Summit and made daily utilizing authentic italian cookware. This is a family owned small business with a passion for cooking and serving their customers. Take it to go, buy it to prepare in your home, or eat in their place while you watch them make the pasta. read more

The food was so good and the prices were lower than I expected considering everything is made in-house.
