Picciocchi's Pasta

Picciocchi’s Pasta invites diners into the historic Oppenheim Building on Wyoming Avenue, where the warm glow of reclaimed brick walls and vintage pendant lighting creates a cozy yet upscale atmosphere. Head chef Stefano Picciocchi, a third‑generation pasta artisan, hand‑selects every ingredient and rolls fresh tagliatelle, pappardelle and gnocchi daily in an open kitchen that lets guests watch the dough transform. Signature dishes include the classic Spaghetti Carbonara made with pancetta from a local Pennsylvania farm, the ricotta‑filled Ravioli al Limone drizzled with a house‑made lemon‑butter sauce, and the hearty Bolognese Tagliatelle that has become a favorite among regulars. The menu also offers a seasonal lunch selection featuring a light Caprese salad with heirloom tomatoes from nearby farms and a quick‑service take‑out option for commuters. After dinner, the full‑service bar showcases a curated list of Italian wines, craft cocktails, and local Pennsylvania beers, perfect for an evening aperitivo. The interior blends modern steel accents with rustic wooden tables, evoking the feeling of a traditional Italian trattoria set against Scranton’s bustling downtown. Prices range from $12 for a simple pasta plate to $28 for premium seafood specials, making it a moderate‑priced destination for families and business travelers alike. While the restaurant does not list specific hours on the site, it welcomes guests for lunch and dinner throughout the week, and fresh pasta can be ordered online for nationwide shipping. Whether you’re seeking an authentic Italian feast or a quick, high‑quality take‑out, Picciocchi’s delivers a genuine taste of Italy in the heart of Scranton.
