Excellent food and service. Eaten lunch and dinner. Their fradiavlo was amazing. Very nice inside. Always quiet. Recommended

I had dinner here last night with some family. The garlic knot appetizer was huge and full of garlic. Caesar salad was a little lacking, but I'm not really a salad person anyways. I ordered the Cheese Tortellini Carbonara. The serving size is HUGE. I'm not a modest eater and I barely took down half of it. Luckily, I get to eat it again for dinner tonight which makes me very happy. We also ordered the Meat Ravioli, Vegetable Lasagna, and Gnocchi Quattro Stagione (sp?). Everybody enjoyed their dishes and had some to take home too. We enjoyed Cannolis (very cheesy, but I liked it) and Lemon Cream Cake for dessert. Service wasn't too bad and it wasn't that crowded until we left. read more

This place is definitely an untapped resource for pizza in Scranton. There are plenty of places to get pizza downtown but no one does it like Cafe Classico. The pizza is a thin and crispy crust and the combinations offered all include fresh ingredients and complimenting tastes. Prices are on the higher end when it comes to pizza but it is well worth it. I would recommend trying some of their sauceless pies like the tomato and mozzarella. read more

A taste of Mulberry Street in NY on Mulberry Street in Scranton! Passing through on our way from the city to Syracuse, we stopped off for lunch halfway. Couldn't have made a better choice. Good food, attentive service, well worth a visit. read more

Enjoyed a lunch special. Soup or salad and a nice plate of linguini for $9.99. Can't beat it. Fresh baked bread and butter on the table as well. Beats a burger anytime. read more

Approximately one year ago, my aunt was doing very poorly in the hospital. She was the matriarch of the family, and many of us were keeping a bedside vigil, including several family members from out of town. I called to see if this restaurant (2 blocks from the hospital) could accommodate a party of 16 that evening. I asked appropriate questions: would the wait times be long for service/food, would there be enough staff, etc. I was assured we could be accommodated. I made a reservation for 5:15pm for a party of 16. When we arrived, the table was set up with bread baskets and glasses of water. I was hopeful! We all arrived by 520pm, and our orders were not taken until 615pm. Our food arrived after 7, and well after three of our party had to leave the restaurant for prior commitments. We were still charged for their meals which had to be packaged to go. We didn't order anything complicated-many of us just ordered sandwiches. The food is just all right-nothing spectacular. And I just cannot imagine anyone taking that reservation knowing what our experience would be. I work at that same hospital, just 2 blocks from this restaurant, and I will never return. They ruined what should have been relaxing family time away from a stressful situation for us. I was very embarrassed that I made this reservation and took my family here. It was NOT an enjoyable evening. At all. read more

all around a great restaurant. Service was great and all of the entrees were delicious. Not a huge fan of the decor but what really matters are the flavors of the food and desserts and Cafe Classico doesnt fail to deliver! read more

This place has achieved a remarkable balance: family casual with gourmet quality entrees as well. A couple with two small girls enjoyed what looked to be a great thin crust tomato mozzarella pizza while we had delicious calamari and marinara sauce, brazciole (sp?), and veal with eggplant. The salad was fresh and delicious, the lentil soup was superb. Service wasn't perfect, friendly. Definitely recommend and we'll go back read more

Wow. Margarita pizza was amazing. I lived in NYC so I doubted they could come close to my expectations but they exceeded them. Perfectly made and cooked. Bravo. I will be back and bringing my friends to try it... read more

A bit less than mediocre. The setting is nice but not much more than the run of the mill Scranton restaurant. Good for just wanting a bite to eat but I wouldn't suggest as a night out. I had the caprese salad which was only some mozzarella and tomato thrown on iceberg. Nothing awful about it but nothing great either. read more

I ordered the Chicken Franchase. It was well presented, however the sauce for it tasted like it was from a jar. I brought home meal for my dog who wouldn't eat it either. I won't be back. read more

I've been enjoying Café Classico food for two decades. As a resident of Washington, DC with a second home in Scranton, my wife and I make it a ritual to always stop here upon our arrival in town. When we arranged a dinner for our Scranton Prep classmates in memory of one of our fellow graduates, we chose Café Classico; and the food and service were perfect. What more can I say? -Tom Scanlon read more

My favorite Italian restaurant in the area. Authentic dishes that are absolutely delicious. The only gripe I have is they don't drain the pasta enough, usually there's water on the bottom of your plate. I recommend the stuffed cheese rigatoni with genovese sauce. To die for! read more

Every year we get our Christmas Tree from Mulberry Bush next door. This year, Mike and Helene gave us a coupon to Cafe Classico. We were hungry, so we decided to stop in. I used to eat here in high school when I was My Place, so I wasn't expecting much more than the pizza shop it used to be. Everything was great! The clams, calimari, my Fra Diavolo, even the pizza for my son were all excellent. They also have great Italian deserts and you can go see them in a nice display case. No more waiting for the Italian Festival or going to NYC for good pastries. We plan on going again soon and it is a new part of our Christmas tradition. Nay Aug lights first, Cafe Classico second and then the tree next door. read more

We had a great meal here while out campaigning for Hillary. Yummy pizza and a delicious salad. Highly recommend--staff was very nice, too.

Had an absolutely awful experience. Dined with a group of six on a quiet Thursday (last night) There was a private party and they were ridiculously under staffed. With no indication or explanation when ordering, we waited over an hour for our food. When we asked to speak with the owner, were told he couldn't bc he was cooking. Then one of the waitresses proceeded to, literally, throw our food at us. She nearly splattered one of us with red sauce. Most likely she was unhappy bc other patrons decided to leave when they over heard our table discussing the horrendous service. The kicker was, they forgot to, and came back to make sure, they added an iced tea to the check! Seriously? read more

Nothing special about the menu. Server gave a group of us (and groups are probably common, since it is by the University) a hard time for asking for separate checks, which is a personal pet peeve. The food is ok, but I would never recommend it specifically. read more

We are out of towners visiting a sick relative and needed dinner. As you walk in it smelled wonderful. The food matched the smell and also was delish. read more

Best food you will find anywhere my wife and I eat there at least once a week we have never had a bad meal we live close by and do not know who owns the restaurant we would recommend it to anyone who likes Italian foods prices are reasonable service is like most places we do not drink so can not comment on the price of their drinks their red sauce is almost as good as my mom used to make not as good no one can match her tomato sa use but they come close read more

I'm giving two stars because the service was good. Our server was polite and efficient. The food, however, was bland. I had the chicken marsala and it had no flavor. The caesar salad was just a bunch of lettuce, a few croutons and dressing that had no flavor. I know caesar salads don't have much in them, but really, the caesar side salad at Wendy's is better. Others in my party had the special which was breaded tilapia in a scampi sauce. Again, very bland with no scampi flavor at all. One had calamari and said it was the worst she's ever had. That might be an exaggeration, but it, again, had no flavor. In general, we all decided that the food was just bland with little to no flavor. The positives were that the service was good, the place was clean, the atmosphere was nice and the bread with oil and vinegar was very good, but if all food was like this, I would still be skinny. Disappointing, and will not go again. read more

I have been here three times and I have to say I probably will not be coming here again. Service was extremely slow, there was 6 of us our bill was $166 and only 5 beers were purchased so I must say it was very expensive. All meals came with a TINY side of pasta, I substituted vodka sauce and was charged $3.95! Also, refills are NOT free on soda/ice tea. We were charged $1.75 for each glass. They also forgot one of our parties side pasta dish... Ended up brining it out right before we got our check. Food was just okay...nothing impressive. The broccoli/ cauliflower soup with sausage that the waiter talked us into getting was the worst soup I have ever had in my entire life. The consistently felt like I was eating grass... We all had to throw our soups away....I have had better Italian at many other restaurants in the area. Not sure if they changed management or what but this place is definitely off my list. read more
