    Sambuca is one of our favorite restaurants in Scranton. Great staff, great food, great ambiance. The piano player adds a nice touch. The veal is always tender and is my go to meal. They offer great appetizers and specials. The drinks are always fantastic. And the desserts are ….. fabulous. I never know which to choose from.

    We reserved a hightop in the bar and there was some confusion about where they were going to seat us when we arrived because I think they overbooked. But eventually we were seated. Everything was great after that. Packed house.

    This was our second experience at this establishment. The first one was good and this one was even better. The food was fantastic. The service was great. We were greeted with a friendly host. This is the way Italian restaurants are supposed to be. We will return again and again.

    Tuesday night was very busy, but service was good and attentive. Roasted Brussels appetizers were great, special salmon with tomato/basil sauce was outstanding! Always a great choice for dinner!
