    They have huge portions and are a family style restaurant. They have my favorite dish, angel hair pasta with sundried tomatoes. I get it every time, no fail. They also have amazing eggplant parm that's made with lots of thin layers of eggplant and great house salad dressing!

    Best value in Italian dining around! Everything is made from scratch. Excellent veal. Make sure u get a side of pasta. They give u a pound! Never see anyone coming out without a container in their hands. Make reservations as they are ALWAYS busy.

    Rossi's never disappoints. We have enjoyed many dinners there, and decided to have a graduation party there. The banquet room is beautiful, the staff is excellent. Appetizers and buffet - everything was hot, fresh, delicious. Good selections for beer and wine. Highly recommend for a private party, or a nice dinner!

    Probably the best Italian restaurant in Northeast Pa. Atmosphere, price and over the top Italian food. Especially love the polenta on the board served every Wednesday.

    I used to love this place before they rebuilt. The food portions are still huge which is nice, but the food has never been as good. As for the new building, it is way too loud and always kept like an ice box.

    The food here is always great tasting but loaded with so much olive oil. It takes a long time to get your food but you will leave with lunch for the next day from your leftovers. Worth the wait...

    Quite honestly my favorite Italian restaurant anywhere. That includes NYC, Philly, and Pittsburgh. The portions are enormous and their homemade "red sauce" is the best tomato sauce I've ever had other than my grandmas. Try the veal Marsala or chicken Jacqueline they're amazing. Ambience is nice and comfortable and staff is always very friendly. They also have two private rooms for parties. You will definitely get your money's worth here. Great dessert tray too!

    Ya big fan of this place. It's sad the rest of the area does not make it the best italian restaurant in the area. Some other dirty place in scranton made it. Great food and great friendly service. Huge portions.

    I never had the opportunity to dine at Rossi's before it burned down years ago (despite growing up down the street from it), but I've been told it was a wonderful place with a great atmosphere. Sadly, this is no longer the case. The dining area in the new building is a expansive room with a high ceiling that causes all the conversations in the room to echo and the noise level is incredibly loud. Consequently, it's very hard to hear the people you're eating with and that is a terrible thing to have in any restaurant, especially an Italian one. I had taken my fiancée there for our first date and after almost 6 and half years, Rossi's is still the noisiest restaurant we've ever eaten in (and that's including packed restaurants in Manhattan around Christmastime). A few days ago, my family and I decided to try Rossi's once again, but order take-out so as to avoid the dining area debacle. Unfortunately, we realized that, despite the reputation that Rossi's has in the valley area, they just don't make delicious food. We ordered veal parmesan and the veal was cooked fine, but it just didn't have exceptional flavor. The sauce was merely okay, but nothing to rave about and certainly nothing to tell friends about. They also give you very, very little sauce for your pasta, which is never good. Frankly, Rossi's food is merely okay and they have been overhyped in the area for far too long. I think what everyone loves about Rossi's is that they give you HUGE portions of food and people like getting more for their money. For me, quality always trumps quantity and Rossi's is just not a place that serves quality food. Couple that with an extremely noisy dining area and Rossi's is definitely a place you should skip.

    Better option in the area for italian. Portions are huge!!!!!!! Prices reasonable. Nice interior; open ans airy with Italian decor. My fra diavlo was good and had a ton of seafood, red sauce was good too. Calamari was good and so was sauce. Check it out.

    I have Bittersweet feelings over Rossi's. For years I thought it was the best Italian restaurant around but as I grew older I realized just because they give you a "huge" portion it doesn't mean they are the best. Food selection is okay. Your first 5 times there you have many choices but over the years you realized the selection never changes and the choices are not that special. The menu items such as the pastas are very tasty. I have to say my favorite part at Rossi's is the salad dressing. This is my favorite house dressing around! Ever since they have rebuilt post the fire. The atmosphere is awful! Very high ceiling which makes it extremely noisy. There is no privacy at all. It's just a square room with tables side by side. The whole cozy restaurant is missing. I can only rate this place as average anymore....

    Archbald is the twilight zone and I don't often find myself having occasion to visit. When I did, I made a point to check out Rossi's as I've heard nothing but raves about it for years. I have to say that I totally agree with Kevin B's review. After a fire some years ago, Rossi's rebuilt from scratch. While I don't remember the old place (it was probably nondescript like the rest of the upper valley), the new place seems like a poorly conceived mess. They were going for "Italian villa" and certainly succeeded in improving the streetscape, but functionally it's just bizarre. - The sole entrance is accessible only by a long wheelchair ramp. This should immediately tell you something about their clientele. When you finally reach the top of the ramp, you find yourself on a portico with big stone columns and an elaborate balustrade ... and no roof. I can't imagine funneling a banquet party of 100 geriatrics up or down the wheelchair ramp in the rain would be much fun. - There are three sets of doors; it's your guess as to which one is unlocked. These doors lead you into a really strange residential-looking entrance foyer. They tried to say "welcome to our home," but it comes across as generic nursing home or hotel. - The actual dining room is located to the left: a two-story echo chamber with faux cracks/brick painted on the plaster amongst hideous custom drapery, Juliet balconies and lots of silk plants. The small bar has a faux roof with actual shingles. Above it, a large opening allows guests to gaze downward from what I can only assume is a banquet room. If you couldn't tell, I think this place is really, really tacky. It's like a "fancy" Florida strip mall. In any case, the star of the show here is supposedly the food. I find it laughable that this old-school Italian restaurant has potato pancakes, fajita rolls and coconut shrimp on the menu. Nothing says frozen like a multicultural appetizer selection in a town of 7,000. Upon sitting down, I ordered a Yuengling lager, one of just two or three options available on tap. It arrived while I was perusing the menu and I didn't touch it for a few minutes. The server (who was a really nice older gentleman) came over and asked if I had tried the lager. I thought this was a really strange question because Yuengling lager is served at virtually every eating or drinking establishment in the coal region. I said, "no, is something wrong with it?" (paraphrasing) "Well, maybe. The bartender kicked the keg with your glass and figured it might be off." Yikes! I took a sip and it was, indeed, flat and old tasting. A fresh glass was promptly served. If the bartender thought something was wrong with it, why was it served to me? Intending to get a wide variety of flavor, I ordered their "Taste of Italy" which, for about $17 (I don't remember exactly), includes cappelletti soup, garlic bread, salad, tripe, gnocchi and cavatelli with broccoli. Yes, tripe. I'd never had it, and it was bundled into this meal, so I figured I'd give it a try. Jumping ahead... that turned out to be a huge mistake. I had one piece. My description of its flavor is quite colorful, so let's just say I thought it was absolutely vile. It made it onto my "foods I hate" list, joining olives, capers and jellyfish. This of course isn't their fault, but I can't understand how anybody could enjoy this particular "food." The gnocchi were big, bland and mushy - almost waterlogged. Easily the worst gnocchi I've ever had. Everything else was okay, including the entirely uninteresting tomato sauce. As has been mentioned in other reviews, the portion sizes are way too large. Why would anyone want an abundance of bland food? It's not a good value if the food isn't appealing. When I asked which desserts are made in house, the reply was ... none of them! The little cardboard table tent (like you might see at, say, Applebee's) promoting a limoncello flute should have been a dead giveaway. I found this shocking. The waiter assured me that they sourced them from a quality place somewhere in the vicinity, but I found it odd that such a highly revered place would not have at least some basic classic Italian desserts made in house (tiramisu, cannoli, gelato, budino). I can't even remember what I chose - it was, like the rest of the meal, okay. This place is either coasting on its reputation or catering to the elderly crowd. Bland food, tacky dining room, frustrating entrance (really, was it that hard to incorporate a couple steps into your design?)... I just can't think of any reason to return, and honestly don't understand the raves.

    Amazing food. If you think the Olive Garden is the best Italian food then you simply do not know Italian food. Angel hair pasta in sun dried tomato sauce is to die for. When my bowl came there had to be about 5 pounds of pasta. So nice inside and quiet. The staff is extremely friendly. Definitely recommend to people.

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
