March 11, 2026 I ordered early for a 4:15 pick up. I ordered the delicious lasagna entree. I had…read moreforgotten I had ordered this in the past and it was flat, not layered. This time it had some height and was layered. The lasagna had a generous amount of beef and cheese- it was delicious and I enjoy the sauce they use/make. I opted to get the pasta fagioli soup. It was out of this world! Packed with beans, pasta, carrots, and celery. The broth was savory and mouth watering. It was excellent. My meal came with hot rolls which is made with their dough. I loved this and it lasted me a couple meals. This meal was picked up from the drive through. The help is friendly and also ordered a traditional canoli for dessert.

We haven't been here in two years so we thought we'd give it another try. It was Saturday night…read more Our reservation was at 6:15 and we seated on time outside per our request. The good... The calamari and mushroom soup appetizers were great as always, I ordered the Macaluso martini which was great again, my husband had a good old-fashioned, except they used the bright red cheap maraschino cherries instead of the higher end dark red ones that you would expect from a higher end restaurant. The not so good... Every dish like Veal Parmesan had veal crossed out on the menu and only left a choice of chicken. We typically prefer veal when we're out because we cook chicken at home all the time. So that limited, especially what my husband wanted. Then he asked for the breaded pork and was told they were out of that too. Then he ordered the House special stuffed chicken, which the chicken itself was very tasty but the linguine that came with it was so overcooked it was mushy. Pretty disappointing for an Italian restaurant. I ordered the chicken Macaluso and then was told that they were out of Angel hair pasta. I asked to have pappadele instead of linguine or rigatoni, cause I don't like either of those. They were able to give me the papadele which was cooked well. My food was good, but it was unusual. It came a large flat-ish bowl and it was submerged in a broth that didn't taste like a sauce that would go with pasta. It was very thin. Also, what is a little strange is we each got the house salad and only had three options of salad dressing and none of the options were Italian dressing in an Italian. The bread was very good however it was cold and it would've been better if it had been warm. When we were getting ready to leave, my husband asked if he could have a fresh serving of linguine that was not mushy for his leftovers. They were accommodating and brought us all our food to go. When we got home, he tried the pasta and it was yet again overcooked and mushy. Not sure how an Italian restaurant can get pasta wrong twice. Disappointing to have so many things not be available on the menu. Our waitress was nice and looked so embarrassed when she had to tell us for a fourth time that something was not available. Very strange to have a seating at 6:15 on a Saturday and to be out 4 to 5 different things. Going forward I think we will eat at the bar and just get appetizers and drinks cause that was the best part of the meal.

I love the more elevated vibe of the restaurant, which is rare for this area. We enjoyed the California blend red wine, Aperol spritz, and house salads, all great. The bread basket was a nice touch too. For dinner, I ordered the Shrimp Tatianna Pappardelle (pictured in a to go container), which I found upsettingly bland for a Cajun sauce. That said, my friend got the wild mushroom ravioli Macaluso and said it was really good. We ended with a fantastic desert, the peanut butter pie and chocolate love cake (both pictured).

Nice Italian restaurant.....been here twice...once back in January/February and the other time I…read morewent was in November 2025. The portions each time were HUGE....it's a bit pricey, but well worth the experience. I noticed the Vodka Penne on another patrons plate and it looked SO good. I eventually ordered the Scampi Extreme (or something similar) Gnocchi, shrimp and scallops in a lemon butter sauce - I left stuffed. The garlic bread was infused with garlic...warm and buttery. I recently saw a report where the average chain restaurant was experiencing a "low" in patronage - it's because the average chain restaurant offers basic high-priced trash.... THIS place... again, a bit pricey, but you get fresh, well-thought-out options and portions that you'll have to take with you. My dining partner ordered the baked ziti and it was huge - she had to take most of it home so I'll get a crack at it later this evening . In any event, give this please a try if you're in the area. They know how to do NON runny marinara.

I had the chicken salad with candied walnuts, cranberries, and feta. My son had Buffalo Chicken Bake. The plate was huge with tons of penne pasta and buffalo chicken.

Our waitress was very nice and accommodating to my elderly mother's needs. Great place! Do not wait as long as I did!

About 12 years ago, my coworkers and I discovered a gem of an Italian restaurant in Frackville…read more Our work spanned several weeks and I don't recall our having a meal anywhere else. We talked about our great meals at OIP for many years thereafter. Today, I had occasion to be passing Frackville along the I-81 corridor and decided to see whether, by chance, the restaurant was still there. To my good fortune, it was! The food was just as I remembered it, the owners absolutely pleasant and the overall experience nothing short of wonderful! It felt more like visiting family than dining at a restaurant! Although I've enjoyed pasta dishes at OIP in the past, today I tried something new - an eggplant sandwich, sans the tomato sauce. I was a bit leery at first, but the owner convinceed me that it was a unique departure from the traditional tomato sauce and that many of their customers liked it. I tried it, I loved it! Breaded/fried eggplant with melted cheese (provolone?), on a fresh baked roll, topped with lettuce, tomato, onion and Italian dressing. Mama mia! It was delicious. Their bread is all baked on premise and it sure tastes it! I could have feasted on the bread with butter alone! Just minutes off I-81, it is most definitely worth a visit. The folks are great, the prices very reasonable. Buon appetito, a tutti voi!
