   My wife and I went there for our anniversary. It was wonderful. We had been there once before. Everything we ordered was amazing. We were eating off each others plate. :) Service was top notch. The piano player played beautifully and was in great voice.

   We have eaten there 4 times now and expect to eat there again soon. Their normal entrees and pasta dishes are truly superb. Their specials are not to be missed. Last night my wife had the beef ravioli, and I had the chicken rollantini (both specials) .... they were out of this world good. The staff is very friendly, and the place attracts a nice clientele. It is small, but it is stylish and makes for a nice venue if you want a quiet night out. I have never eaten on a Friday or Saturday, but I can imagine that they are jammed.

    I had a Sambuca salad: greens, fresh, sweet tomato sluces and a light vinaigrette dressing, followed by the tuna steak special. The tuna was perfectly grilled, topped with a subtle lemon sauce, and was served over steamed spinach and roasted potatoes. Service was friendly and attentive. We look forward to returning!

    Food was good, not great. Noise level uncomfortably high, piano would have been nicer as background music rather than adding one more voice to the mix

    BEWARE: DO NOT TRUST YOUR SPECIAL OCCASION TO SAMBUCA GRILLE IN SCRANTON PA! Terrible experience due to unprofessionalism of this restaurant! So, what happened? On June 10, I used OpenTable to make a special reservation for my wife’s birthday on Saturday July 10. I reserved a full month ahead as I wanted this to be special and to take no chances. I indicated it was a birthday and added comments that I wanted to make it extra special. On Friday, July 9, I received the usual computer generated email from OpenTable asking me to confirm that I was going to be there for my reservation the following day. I immediately confirmed through OpenTable. Also, that same day I called the restaurant and left a voicemail confirming personally and again indicating that this was a very special occasion. I did not want to leave anything to chance. My wife and I arrived at the restaurant 20 minutes ahead of the reservation time. To my total shock and embarrassment I was met with a closed restaurant and a sign on the door stating they are closed July 3 through July 10 and wishing everyone a nice vacation! So there we were abandoned by Sambuca Grille on my wife’s birthday, a Saturday night, with no dinner reservation or place to go. The restaurant did not have the common decency to adjust its OpenTable settings to indicate they were closed, to reach out and inform me well in advance that they were closed, or to return its voicemails. This is the height of unprofessionalism and a lack of any concern whatsoever for their customers. I have since discovered that there are much, much better restaurant options around the area - which will be the subject of a separate review. Sambuca Grille is dated, tired and worn out as obviously is it ownership and management. Avoid at all costs!

    Sambucca Grill never fails to delight me and my dining companions. It’s my ‘go-to’ place whenever I’m in Scranton and want an elegant yet relaxed dining experience. Every item on the menu is cooked to perfection just like my Italian grandmother used to make. The quality of the food is excellent. The recipes are creative. Best of all is the cocktail menu. I have visited Sambucca Grill several times already in the past and I can’t wait for the next occasion to dine there.

    I Had to talk to Piano player to play happy music after he started singing several depressing songs, With lyrics like " the final curtain" He then played "New York", "That's Amore'" and "Sweet Caroline" and the place livened up and the diners started having fun.

    The staff at Sambuca are efficient and professional. My wife and I had a wonderful time while dining there. The only change I would recommend is that they start using real butter with their bread. Everything else was delicious.

    Although we booked a table we sat at the bar And had a wonderful dining experience. Although small ,we shared romantic conversation happily The bartender had a welcoming personality friendly and professional all the way around. We shared the eggplant appetizer and will say it was phenomenal. Ordered one of the nightly specials, swordfish * and it was nothing less than delicious. Will definitely be back
