About AV Restaurant
AV Restaurant serves dinner Wednesday through Saturday on Penn Avenue in downtown Scranton, with 5–9 PM hours and no lunch or Sunday service. Without published cuisine type, awards, or pricing, it's a venue to research directly before booking—useful if you're downtown mid-week and the Italian-American standards are full, but not a first-choice special-occasion pick until you've confirmed the menu and kitchen quality in person.
Looking for a dinner option in Scranton that's open Wednesday through Saturday evenings? AV Restaurant's verified hours are 5 PM to 9 PM on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, with the restaurant closed Sunday through Tuesday. Lunch service is not verified, so plan around dinner only.
Verified public details are limited: the confirmed facts are the Scranton location, the Wednesday-through-Saturday dinner hours, a smart-casual dress code. Cuisine type, chef name, menu highlights, pricing, reservation method, awards are not verified here, so confirm current details directly with the restaurant before planning a special occasion.
What to Try Across Two or Three Visits
Because no signature dishes, cuisine type, chef bio, menu format, or price range is verified, the best approach is to treat a first dinner as a fact-finding visit. Ask the staff what is currently available, confirm pricing before ordering if budget matters, use the meal to decide whether AV Restaurant fits your preferences. If the first visit works for you, return on another Wednesday-through-Saturday evening to compare a different part of the menu.

Among Scranton's dinner options, Stirna's Restaurant and Angelo's Italian Ristorante deliver the most predictable experience, both have decades of local reputation and Italian-American menus that skew toward red-sauce classics and grilled proteins. If you want a safer bet for a business meal or anniversary dinner, start there. Ipanema Grille offers broader hours (lunch through dinner) and a Brazilian-inflected menu that adds variety to the downtown roster, making it the better choice if your schedule doesn't align with AV Restaurant's Wednesday-to-Saturday-only window.
AV Restaurant's value proposition depends entirely on what the kitchen delivers, since the public record contains no cuisine category, awards, or price range. If you're staying downtown mid-week and the established names are booked, this address works as a fallback, but without published menu detail or chef credentials, it's not the place to anchor a celebration or impress a client until you've confirmed the quality yourself. For smoke-house fans, Delaware Delicacies Smoke House (outside downtown) brings barbecue into the mix, though the drive adds 15 minutes each way. For first-time Scranton diners, Stirna's or Ipanema remain the safer opening moves; AV Restaurant is the spot to try once you've exhausted those options or need a Wednesday-night table on short notice.
