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.

Great drinks and great atmosphere. Fine dining to a T. This is the place you want to take a girl out to impress her on your first date. The drinks were the best too! Get a mojito.

I've had several decent meals here since they opened. One caveat that's kept me from returning since around March of this year is this: THE MENU IS VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL AS WHEN THEY OPENED. For the love of Pete, change the menu seasonally! We had a very lackluster Valentine's Day dinner there and were seated near where the employees were outside smoking. We will be back as soon as I notate a drastic menu change.

What an awesome place! Just had dinner on a Tuesday night and wondered if we would get a table! Although it's not on the menu I had the spicy calamari and would say it's the best calamari dish I have ever had! Come on...goat cheese!!! Really!!' Try it! Service was nice even the place was pretty busy had the bone in 24oz Ribeye...better than anything I've ever had in NYC. They say it's grass fed which makes it soooo much better. What a great meal. Drink glasses are too small so I had to order more...oh well. You must done here!

My husband and I have been to Cusumano several times now and I continue to look forward to each and every visit. The owners started greeting us personally after only our second visit which to me was impressive. This family business does cater to their customers, if they make it as a special and you give advanced notice that you would like to have it when you come in, they will make sure it is there for you. Some of my favorites have been their zucchini flowers (special), stuffed artichoke (special), Clams Cusumano (unbelievable), sea bass, and anything with their sauce on it. Even when I order something that does not have their sauce on it, I order a side of pasta only so I can get it. These are just my favorites, I have not had a bad meal there and as I mentioned, we have become regulars. I've already mentioned the family but the customers are also really nice. We typically come in early for a reservation to have a drink at the bar. WE have had some really nice conversations with other customers doing the same. We also brought a large party in to celebrate my husband's birthday. This was also a success. The service was extremely good just like it usually is. All enjoyed their apps, meals as well as dessert. If there is any downside, it is that they rarely (I say rarely because it hasn't happened with us but may have with others) buy a regular customer a drink. Most of the other places we frequent will occasionally buy us a drink to show their appreciation.

If you know what great food tastes like then you'll love Cusumano. If you appreciate the time effort and cost of sourcing local produce and fine foods then the prices you'll pay is worth every penny. Amazing food, drinks and service.

The food is very good but, unfortunately the drinks are the reason for a low rating. You receive a soda 75% filled with ice in a tiny glass and 25% soda, then you are billed for every soda. The pricing of this restaurant is pretty unreasonable with drinks. The service is somewhat slow. The host was miserable, we made reservations a week ahead of time and probably got the worst table in the restaurant... We asked to switch tables since there were open booths & she told us no due to other reservations. When we left those open booths were still not taken. Our waitress was very accommodating and nice but, that host ruined our time. I advise reservations and asking for a booth or table when calling.

I'd give it five because we loved the place, the food and the service, but my veal in veal calabrese was dry and overcooked. The 'calabrese ' part was fantastic! My wife had wild boar parpadalle and loved it. Our anti pasto for two was enough for four with fresh mozzarella, fabulous meats, olives, etc. a meal in itself. Generous drinks and great bread and oil with a roasted red pepper hummus that they make that was fabulous. Service was great and what our waitress didn't know, she went to find out. Went to the owner for wine recco for the boar and though it wasn't on the 'by the glass ' menu, he opened a Belagaio (?) and sold us a glass. My tiramisu was well done but I'm used to the lady fingers being soaked, these weren't, kinda dry. Our 42nd anniversary and we've been out like this every year, we've dined all over, Seattle, Chicago, Dallas, DC, and many others, agreed this was in our top 5. Bad reviews here were about service, ours couldn't have been better. Oh and this is Scranton, everything is about families and friends. Turns out this place is owned by the same family that owned a local grocery store that opened a country mart out by us. First owners retired the kids now run it, but the original 'mom' owner still hangs out at the restaurant to greet regulars, and was next to us! Told her I missed their tomato sauce out at the country mart she said, 'maybe soon!' It's great. Will miss this stuff when we move.

Now that I've been here a few times I feel comfortable with their review. All around nice atmosphere. Service is probably the most proper I've experienced in the area in a long, long time. Their menu is a mix of Northern & Southern Italian cuisine, and they also sell Old Forge style pizza. On each visit, every dish was prepared perfectly and staged appropriately. Desserts and coffee were also spot on.

We have enjoyed many wonderful dining experiences at Cusumano. The food and drinks are delicious and consistent. Cusumano is one of our top choices for dinner in the area!

I have to lower them a star based on my most recent visit. Bert salad just using beets from jar. Should be grilled. Eggplant rollatini was kind of dry.

Dinner was excellently prepared and piping hot. We ordered the antipasto as an appetizer and would definitely recommend it. My entree was the gnocchi with Dad's Sauce and my wife had chicken parm. We both loved out dinner. On the down side, I thought service was slow. We were seated at 820 and received our entrees at 1015. I'm willing to wait for good things, but I thought that was a bit much. The dining room was also quite loud. We ended our dinners early to get wrapped and take home leftovers so we could save room for dessert. At that time of night, there were only two choices left on the dessert menu and neither of them were appealing to us. While I can't take points off for this because it's the luck of the draw, try to avoid the first booth-- we shivered all night with a cold blast of air every time someone came in or left. We will most likely return because of the quality of the food and will hope for service to improve. I was hoping to put this at the top of my Old Forge favorites, unfortunately it's falling to the middle of the pack.

Made a reservation for a party of 8 for 7pm. Seated promptly and very inviting. The environment was extremely loud,and the bar was two three deep mainly people waiting for tables. Because of that,we where constantly getting bumped in the back from wait staff and people trying to pass through. Service was super slow 25min. For the first drinks to arrive, then about the same for the waitress to return to tell us the specials for the night. Which all seemed very appetizing. Didn't Receive apps and salads until about 830. Iceberg wedge very fresh could of used some more dressing or maybe crumbled blue cheese, stated by both people that had it. The other apps where very good. Entrees showed up 915 which didn't come all out at once, with plates so hot and the tops of the food almost a crust from the heat lamp or sitting in a oven? Scary part is the easiest dish to make "dad's Sunday dinner" angle hair & meatballs, sausage came out last. About 10min after everyone else recd there meals. Half the party enjoyed there meals (because at this point think they where just starving) the other half not so much. Lobster risotto sauce way to sweet and I like sweet. Lobster little dried out (from sitting). a 22oz Delmonico special,black as the night,when it came to the table all you smelled was burnt meat. ordered med. parts so overdone the black char could be scraped with a knife. And the 22oz? more like 10. I guess grilled out the other 10+ oz. When it was sent back the waitress came back and stated that the "chef" states that is how a Delmonico cooks. As if it was her first steak. Or the other 7at the table that also agreed. they did replace it with a very nice shrimp scampi. They tried to rectify all issues with a round of drinks. But at that point not interested, just bring out the bday cake and wanted to get out. And that is the only thing that saved the staff. They served the Bcake that I brought and served it as asked(when I made the reservation I did ask if I could bring a cake) even though the waitress seemed annoyed when I asked for forks came back and literally threw about 20 forks in front of me. After this long rant. Bottom line they seem to overbook, which in return causes everything to move very very slow and the food and service suffers. If I was to try this place again it would have to be on there slowest night, and then I would still be leary. I really hate to bash a business but if they don't know the issues they will never be able to rectify the problems.

Truly one of the best meals I've had in a very long time. The ricotta stuffed squash flower appetizer was very lightly floured and delicately fried and was delicious. The wild boar ragu had perfectly cooked meat, tender and tasty, on top of homemade pasta with a delicious homemade sauce. Even my wife's filet, which she orders "ruined" (medium well) was tender, juicy and delicious. Desserts were great. Cocktails were generously poured (dirty vodka martini with gorgonzola stuffed olives), and they had a decent selection of craft beers. You can tell that they run this restaurant with passion. I can't wait to go back.
