“ My wife, born in Scranton, has been telling me about this restaurant for a while now, saying when we're back up in PA (from Florida) she just HAD to bring me here. Boy am I glad she did! Best food I've had in Pennsylvania, excellent and attentive service from Abby and compliments to the chef(s) as they serve food that is highly addictive without toxic ingredients. John, chef and owner, is most gracious with a friendly, humble demeanor, befitting of a human who would serve humanity in such a delicious and helpful way. Fresh, delicious ingredients that make you feel the high frequency of the food before you take your first bite. Great drinks, too. Must say, I'm highly impressed and will definitely return every visit back up here. Five stars! ”
“ Every time I eat here, the food and service are always amazing. I haven’t had a bad dish here. The staff is so kind and the owner is amazing. Recently had their bikini bottom pizza and it was so delicious! Their whipped ricotta is also one of my favorites. ”
“ A true treat to have eaten here! The food was absolutely incredibly, so much so that we decided to get dessert. We ordered several plates to share and the best one had to be the whipped ricotta and the Bronx Boxer pizza. The pistachio gelato was AMAZING. The staff were attentive, very nice and the entire restaurant had a very elevated vibe. I will definitely come back again when I’m in back in town!! ”
“ My wife and I love the food, service & atmosphere at Bar Pazzo. The entire staff are friendly and attentive. Menu is top notch with a good variety of Italian dishes. Our server, Steve, stood out with his enthusiasm and his passion for the menu shone through and made our meal even more enjoyable. Love Bar Pazzo! ”
“ I come here about once a month with my boyfriend for date night, the pizzas are to die for! Its some of the closest pizza to New Jersey style that we can find. The cocktails are alright, just make sure you know what you are ordering because sometimes the bartender doesn't understand. We always get 3 pizzas, the duck wings, the whipped ricotta, and the chefs board. Its all delicious! ”
“ Just dined here tonight for the first time. It was wonderful! Our server, Abigail was professional and friendly. The food was fantastic. The Brooklyn Bomber pizza was terrific and the duck wings couldn’t have been better! I’ll definitely be back & recommend this place to anyone in the area! ”
“ This has quickly become one of our favorite dinner stops in scranton. We love sitting at the bar but for tables reservations are strongly suggested. We love the whipped ricotta, scrantonian pizza and always leave room for dessert and espresso. Wonderful service it gets busy but they always stay cool, calm, collected. ”
“ Our server Emily was amazing, can't say enough good things about her! Everything at Bar Pazzo was fantastic, the duck wings and the honey whipped ricotta, so good! We also shared the Bronx pizza, really enjoyed it! Wonderful place! ”
