Our Story
Born out of our love for delicious food & fine wine, Papa's Uptown has become the premiere location for Italian dining in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Papa's has been a family owned business for over 25 years. Papa's offers the warmth & hospitality of the "Italian Home" where everyone can be nourished by our family's Italian recipes & traditions of yesterday. Papa's Uptown is nestled in the heart of Scranton, PA and is reminiscent of Grandpa Gabello's restaurant in Sicily, Italy. A treasured time where families would gather to eat, drink and connect as laughter filled the air in a casual and fun atmosphere. Enjoy our old-world Tuscan decor, the sounds of Frank & Dean, the delicious smells of our slow cooked sauces, the taste of Grandma Gabello's minestrone soup and so much more...all served with bright smiles, great service & casual elegance.... a feast for the senses! It is a great privilege & blessing for our family to continue to share our passion for great food & fun with all our valued guests. We thank you for becoming part of our family as you sit at our table & break bread with us.
Mangia & enjoy!
The Gabello Family
