I went with some coworkers, about 10 of us in total. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was lovely, and the food was outstanding. I ordered the lamb shank osso buco served over mashed potatoes and it was delicious. I highly recommend it.

The place was super busy so my boyfriend and I relaxed with a drink on their comfy couches while we waited for a table to open up.. not long after we were greeted by our waitress Kaidyn who was outstanding, she made our first time experience that much better.. she told us what we should pick out of choices we gave her and she did not disappoint as everything was so delicious.... we can't wait to come visit again soon

We got a private corner booth, extremely comfy and exclusive feeling. We were greeted shortly after by our lovely server Josephine, who explained the features on the offered menus, but also explained several features not listed on the menu that are offered as a special. She took our drink orders, promptly delivered them, and offered to put an appetizer in while we looked over the menu. My husband and I ordered a Ceasar salad to start; several minutes after putting our order in we received beautiful warm fresh baked bread and a side of olive oil which transitioned us perfectly into our starter. The lettuce was fresh and crisp, the croutons absolutely had to be made in house (so delicious! and the dressing was the best part of the entire salad. So fresh and bright with the lemon but the salty hint of anchovy kept the dressing traditional and fantastic. For entrees we ordered a filet mignon, ordered medium rare and cooked to absolute buttery perfection. It was topped with a Gorgonzola sauce and while the sauce was a hint too salty for my taste, the filet was cooked exquisitely and the concept of the sauce was absolutely spot on as far as flavor. It was paired with a crisp and flavorful side asparagus and a creamy mashed potato. Our other entree was the bone in pork chop, which is offered medium/medium rare as per the chef’s recommendation. We ordered per recommendation and were presented a beautifully juicy and tender bone in chop topped with crispy onion straws. It was topped with a wonderfully sweet sauce that paired so well with the pork, which quite literally could be pulled off the bone with a fork. The pork included asparagus and a side of some sort of roasted potato which was such a complement to the sauce. Thank you so much to Josephine, our sever. She was sweet and attentive and was informed about the restaurant’s specials. She made sure we were taken care of without being an annoyance and offered us prompt service. We also would love to compliment the kitchen and whoever developed the concept of the menu. Absolutely beautiful and thoughtful pairings of flavors and ingredients and so well executed. The interior and atmosphere of the restaurant is lofty and classy. It’s pleasant to be a part of and while it feels slightly upper class, it offers the many comforts you would expect of a wonderful Italian restaurant. We will 10000% be back many times in the future and will happily recommend this restaurant to everyone we know!

Despite feeling a bit out of place, the friendly staff put us at ease completely. The kids had a fantastic first upscale dining experience, enjoying sipping lemonade from elegant glasses and digging into spaghetti and meatballs. Our waiter was excellent and attentive, and the food was delicious. We will definitely be returning! What a gem in the charming downtown area of Scranton.

During our recent visit, I had one of the best salmon dishes I have ever tasted. It was so good that I ordered it again when we returned a few days later. The lamb special was also exceptional, and they are very accommodating with dietary restrictions. Overall, it is an excellent dining experience with personalized service. We highly recommend the AV restaurant!

I have eaten a countless amount of time at this point and enjoyed so many great meals. there were some misfortunes here and there, but at any time, if I was not satisfied, was properly treated. secondly, I played here as a musician in jazz nights prekovid and the owners and bar employees treat them like a customer, not like a lesser person who happens to places. from anywhere I eat in the scranton area, this place is the only one I always love to eat. I'll see you soon amanda, pat, josh, tom, and everyone else.

The exposed brick and metal ceiling tiles add to the overall ambiance of the restaurant. The staff was knowledgeable and courteous rounding-out the fine dining experience. The food is delicious and one can tell that no corners were cut in the preparation of the meal. Reasonable prices on food and drink make this a place you can enjoy not only on a special occasion.

I've eaten here an innumerable amount of times at this point and have enjoyed so many great meals. There have been some misses here and there but anytime I wasn't satisfied was handled appropriately. Secondly, I've played here as a musician on Jazz nights pre-covid and the owners and bar staff treat you like a customer, not like a lesser human which happens at places. Out of everywhere I eat in the Scranton Area this place is the only one I always get excite to eat at. See you soon Amanda, Pat, Josh, Tom and everyone else on the staff.

The menu is not terribly extensive but is executed well. The bar area is beautiful and the drinks complex and delicious. The clientele and price point is slightly more upscale than other places in the area. Sometimes patrons will get a bit too 'animated ' after a few drinks, making it hard to hear or enjoy your meal. Definitely a great date night spot or a place to meet friends for an after-work cocktail.
