Outstanding fine Italian cuisine. The sauce is homemade fresh and has all the right flavors. The salad is perfect and fresh. I had no idea it was BYOB, but no worries, the waiter accommodated me from his own stash. I will be returning and have something to look forward to in my business travels! read more

The reviews of this little gem seemed improbable. This is a truly, genuine Italian at its best on a small street in a wonderful small town in the middle of Pennsylvania. It is warm, but gently elegant on the ground floor of a town house -- but we came in last minute very casual in shorts and collar shirts and felt right at home. We could not have been greeted more warmly, and the menu was as lifted from a great Roman trattoria with classics like home made bolognese and beef steak. But the staple like the bolognese was beautiful, rich but with home made pasta light as a feather. The Amatriciana was a perfect combination of spices, bacon and San Marzano tomatoes. Even the house salad was garnished with a think, local balsamic vinegar you rarely find in the States. Their specials -- four or five of them -- were a superb mix of home made pasta with mushrooms and a swordfish grill ted splendidly. They had a limoncello tart for desert which was sublime. The only draw back, such as it is, is that this lovely place is BYOB. So come forewarned and packing something special. Because whether for a romantic date or a family gathering of foodies, this was something special. read more

Still like the restaurant but there a few improvements to be made: truffle oil can sometimes be overbearing, no French press coffee offerings. They only offer Kureg coffee...disappointment. read more

So happy this creative chef and our fave restaurant is offering take-out service during these uncharted times.... Call for the menu! Tonight we had Tre Scalini Bolognese, Linguine Al Limone, Carbonara, and Salad. All not only tasted but travelled EXCELLENT! This meal provided such amazing comfort for my family! We will definitely be ordering again & I highly encourage you to purchase a gift card now to support this family business & use when they re-open. You will not be disappointed. I guarantee we will be making many reservations in the near future!! Extraordinary food dine in or take out read more

Wow. Authentic Italian byob. Delicious food, great ambiance, and friendly staff. Will definitely be returning.

One of my favorite restaurants. The chef...fantastic. The servers are truly wonderful. It is a quiet upscale italian restaurant. BYOB, so it makes it more affordable. If you like octopus, I recommend it. The seafood pasta is perfect. Great place for a quiet business dinner, or a nice date. Small, family-like run restaurant. read more

What a great italian restaurant.. By far the best italian place in the lehigh valley.. I had the calamari which was delish lobster ravioli was fantastic. Great decor. Great service and its BYOB.. Cant wait to go there again to try more delish authentic dishes! read more

If you're looking for amazing and authentic Italian food in the Valley, this is the ONLY place that should be on your list! I lived in Italy for 5 months and since being back, I've been hesitant to eat out at Italian restaurants, but this place is everything and more. The Fettucine al Limone was so light and delicious. I came here with my parents and each of us ordered something different. I loved the way that each dish was delicate and had a unique flavor of its own. The portions were perfect--enough to savor the dish without feeling grossly full at the end! The bread they served with our dinner was perfect as well, and dessert was to die for! I had some kind of chocolate mousse creation and I never wanted it to end. The atmosphere at Tre Scalini is really lovely and intimate. You are essentially dining in someone's living room and the service is wonderful and friendly. The owner is the chef and his two daughters work as the waitresses, so it really feels like you're stepping into someone's home. I can tell that there is a lot of love and pride that goes into preparing and serving the food, which is really what makes this place so special--I can't say enough about Tre Scalini! read more

Awesome Italian spot...real authentic..fantastic byob with reasonable prices. Stopped here on my way to check out the new Sands casino. I definitely can't wait to go back, the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because they were out of a couple of the entrees I wanted. read more

My wife and I had an anniversary dinner here earlier in the week. Small, well decorated restaurant with very friendly and warm service staff. I had the homemade pasta with Bolognese sauce- probably the best I've ever had. Highly recommended. read more

The service was good but not excellent. The portions are average size . Authentic Italian food. Nice atmosphere . Right on broad st. A nice little BYOB read more

Delicious! They make their own pasta and you can taste the freshness. I got the Linguine Tarrantina and it was pretty amazing. The muscles were plump and the pasta was cook perfectly. My boyfriend got seafood manicotti and he loved it. We were really impressed by this place and surprised to find such a high quality Italian restaurant right in our neighborhood. Highly recommend. read more

Had a great meal here. The bucatini was incredible as was the truffle ravioli appetizer (incredible flavor). The waitstaff was courteous and not overbearing at all, leaving enough time for an intimate dinner conversation. This place is also BYOB which is great if you know what you want to order before you go and can pair accordingly. read more

This place is amazing!! BYOB, casual/nice attire, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff. They do recommend reservations; I think mainly because it's a small space. Great place for a date, a special occasion or, for us, just a night to try something new. We can't wait to go back because we saw so many great things on the menu, it was tough to choose. We got dessert to go and let me just say .... WOW! We both got the pistachio gelato. They gave it to us in a GLASS ice cream goblet, covered with a plastic lid. I've never seen nicer looking take-out packaging. It kept until we got home with no problem. And it was to die for :) So excited we finally checked this gem out! read more

Great, tasty and fresh Italian food!! The Chef makes everything prepared by order. The staff is quick and the atmosphere is cute. Must make reservations first as they fill up quick. My hubby and I had a Rib eye w arugula salad, BBQ squid, Angel hair w scallops, crab, & shrimp in a brandy sauce which was very filling after the fresh baked bread. Dessert: Chocolate moose cake. All were very delicious! Can't wait to go back. read more

INot sure how I have not known of the best Italian restaurant in the Lehigh Valley but I've finally found it. Tre Scalin has it all but a liquor license. Yes, BYOB! So bring you favorite bottle and enjoy. Service was great, intimate dining room, food out of this world. Pasta perfectly cooked, angel hair with scallops, shrimp and crab meat in a tomato cream sauce, not swimming, just right. I had the rib eye, perfectly cooked w shoots and a cream sauce to die for. Dessert was lemoncello Gelato. Very good but the only option that night. You have to look hard to find it, no sign. This place doesn't advertise, word of mouth only. This is your Word of Mouth! Go here its great! read more

Tre Scalini is probably among my three favorite restaurants--have tried the better part of the menu, and give accolades to almost anything I've eaten here. Highly recommend the veal tortelloni or lobster ravioli if they have it on special, but I'm beyond enthusiastic with the Pappardelle Con Funghi or the Capellini Bella Italia these days, as well. What stands out at Tre Scalini, as other reviewers have noted, is the freshness of the ingredients--that includes everything from the arugula on a salad, to the pasta in each dish that's clearly made with incredible care, to the seafood, which has never been anything short of tasting like it came out of the sea about an hour before dinner service. I probably only frequent this restaurant about four times per year with my fiance, but I can assure you, I sometimes dream of eating here every night. Even better, this is a BYOB, which does help save just a few bucks. The atmosphere is cozy, romantic (to say the least) and it can get just a bit loud if it's a crowded night--I dig that vibe, though perhaps others may not. Service has always been impeccable, timely and extremely professional. It's a small restaurant--perhaps only 12-13 tables--which is why many who I recommend this place to haven't heard of it. I'm more than happy to spread the word, though, as I don't think there's any restaurant in the Lehigh Valley that boasts a menu quite like this one. Always look forward to my next trip here. read more

Our good friends live in Allentown and took us to Tre Scalini for the first time last on June 10th 2016. It was fabulous ... have been there 2 times since and it is consistently delicious and always worth the drive from State College, which has lots of restaurants but nothing worth eating. The photo I shot of the front of the restaurant is my screen photo on my phone! BYOB go there you will LOVE every bite. read more

Tre Scalini - New American Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Place is cute, small and the menu sounds delicious. Prices are way higher than the $$ listing that yelp gives it. I have to admit the food is tasty. Everything is fleshly made. Portions are half the size the price demands though. Entrees took over an hour before they were brought out. Honestly I contemplated leaving several times. I won't come back and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone unless your don't mind waiting an extended period of time, paying overly inflated prices for small portions and remember BYOB. All that being said, the food is very good but the wait is overly long, two tables received their food before our table and they were seated after us. read more

Small, quaint & special is how I would describe Tres Scalini. Recently diagnosed with a gluten intolerance (Celiac's) & thinking an Italian Restaurant May not be in the cards..... I took a leap of faith & asked if they could help accommodate my needs. They went above & beyond to cater to our needs. It was a fantastic dinner! read more

Came in looking for a wonderful meal after hearing personal recommendations and also Yelp. Food was good but not amazing. The menu is limited but the service was great. read more

Very nice place, small but cozy inside and great atmosphere. Food was excellent and the service was very good but it all came with a fairly high price tag. If your thinking of a special treat and looking for Italian it's worth a stop, if you just want some good Italian food at a reasonable price try some place else. One nice thing is it's BYOB but the $2 bottle charge seemed a little silly. read more

Wow! This place is top-notch! The food is authentic, the service is wonderful, and it is BYOB. It is perfect for a romantic night with your hubby or for an intimate gathering with some close friends. We love it here and we will definitely be back soon! read more

AMAZing BYOB italian restaurant. I had the grilled ocotpus which was the best I have ever had. It was moist and not rubbery when you over cook it. The grilled haddock on spinich was lite and delicous. It was simply seasoned with olive oil and salt. Perfect and simple. read more

One of the best meals I've had. Intimate settings and great wait staff, BYOB of wine so that you can enjoy your delicious meal. This review from me is from my visit we had a couple years ago. As you can tell is has a lasting impression. Try the smoked octopus for an app. read more

Wonderful atmosphere, great service, a hidden gem. The menu was unique, limited for freshness. The warmed bread and salad were both wonderful as well as our appetizers. Would recommend highly to anyone. read more

Authentic as authentic Italian can get in the US....even ships his desserts in from Italy via JFK... I hate mushrooms but he made me enjoy them. A must try. read more

Tre Scalini is Tre fabulous! The food is fresh, authentic & just plain delicious-everything just melts in your mouth. The atmosphere is cozy, friendly & charming, and our waiter, Anthony was just the perfect host. I've walked by it so many times & I'm so glad I finally stopped to enjoy it! read more

Been here several times and always outstanding. Pasta Norma simple but off the charts yummy.

Great atmosphere, and we enjoyed all of our dishes. I was a little surprised that only one of the pastas on the menu was homemade. At a fancy Italian spot I'd hoped for more. But all around a great date spot that I'd return to. read more

This is truly an Italian restaurant that deserves to be in the spot light. The service is always great and the food is fresh and cooked to perfection. Not too many places like this in the valley. read more

We had a lovely dinner here last night. The service was fantastic and the food top notch! Love this intimate setting and look forward to our next visit. FYI, it's BYOB, read more

Most authentic Sicilian restaurant in the Valley! Make reservations and enjoy the intimate atmosphere and incredible food. I've literally been on a good high after eating here. So amazing! read more

Delicious food, adorable place... Convenient parking in the back.. BYOB! Homemade pasta .. I had bolognese that was amazing (not too rich either, which was nice). Ellen our waitress was awesome! Mussels were great, bread was warm and yummy, arugula salad was fresh and i loved the truffle oil touch. Dessert was lemoncello gelato and a berry tart.. Both were delicious and neither sounded that great to me at first.. I was wrong, they were tasty. Visit this place, tell your friends. read more

This is absolutely one of our all time favorite restaurants. We have easily eaten here 50 times (maybe more) and it is just as good every time. Actually the last time, was even better. Everything is so fresh and delicious, the ambiance is perfect and watching the food being made through the window is like watching a beautiful dance. The appetizer special is always outstanding, and the papardelle steals the show. Great people and wonderful food. read more

I have to say that this was a fantastic dinning experience! The food was just as amazing as the wonderful staff. I highly HIGHLY recommend the mushroom ravioli. even if you hate mushrooms you will go Gaga for the ravioli. To the people who work there I will say thank you for a fantastic time! read more

Three cheers and five stars to this uniquely personal and delicious Italian eatery. It's a small restaurant, with lots of ambience and the friendly staff pays attention to the needs of the dining guests. The pasta dishes are superb. Fish is freshly prepared and the muscles exquisite. It's strictly BYOB, which is nice. We did not have time to try the desserts, but intend to be back very soon to do so. I urge you to try this place; you will not be disappointed. Reservations are suggested. read more

Superior food and service. A few caveats: It's very small, so it'll be loud if it's crowded. Not a big deal to me but some people prefer a quiet atmosphere when they're out, so caveat emptor. Also, don't be in a hurry. Our entrees took the better part of an hour to come out. To be expected when most everything's made from scratch. read more

If you want to go to an authentic Italian restaurant then come here and give it a try. My wife and I have been dining here for over 4 years and the food is consistently good. If you wants mounts of garlic induced slop, spaghetti with 8 lb meat balls or Chicken Parmigiana then don't show up. This is a place for REAL Italian food in the Lehigh Valley. read more

Best Italian food in the Valley. We've been at Tre Scalini so many times, we know the menu by heart. The porcini mushroom ravioli are our favorite. read more
