Sambucca Italian Grille - Scranton

Sambuca Grille is a fantastic option for anyone craving a delightful Italian meal. We arrived early on a Friday at 4:30 p.m. and, although the kitchen didn't open until 5 p.m., we were quickly seated at a table where we enjoyed a couple of martinis. The chocolate martini was indulgent, featuring a mix of vodka, dark crème de cacao, and Bailey's Irish cream. The Perfect Sky was a refreshing blend of raspberry vodka, peach schnapps, lime juice, and a hint of ginger ale. The pasta dish was exceptional, showcasing braised beef ravioli smothered in a rich creamy champagne sauce, garnished with roasted red peppers and peas. Our servers were friendly, and the ambiance was laid-back, complemented by soft music playing in the background. Sambuca Grille is definitely a place worth visiting for an outstanding dining experience.

During my work trip to town, I discovered this restaurant for dinner. I parked on a nearby street and entered to a warm welcome. I chose to sit at the bar, where my bartender, Sara, was incredibly friendly. I started with a Pinot Noir, which was decent, and then had an espresso martini, which was quite enjoyable. For my main course, I opted for the shrimp marsala and swapped out the vegetables for pasta, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were fantastic. The bill was quite reasonable as well. Overall, I had a great experience.

The restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere and a romantic ambiance. The food is excellent, and the staff is friendly and attentive. I make it a point to eat here whenever I visit the area.

We didn’t have reservations, but they sat us immediately. The food was delicious. Service was fine. No issues. I had the pollo parmigiana and it was outstanding. Also had the cheesecake for desert. Only complaint was that it was too cold and not as soft as I’d like it. Still delicious.

Super underrated. The staff was polite and did a great job of checking in. Most importantly, the food is incredible. The Pollo Arrabbiata sent me to another dimension. We also had the pistachio cake, limoncello cake and a cannolo and my Lord, forget it. Out of this world! You can’t beat the prices either. I would have paid double what the check said and not blinked an eye. This is our new favorite Italian restaurant in NEPA.
