SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY - Four days after being damaged by fire, a popular Lackawanna County restaurant is back open.

The Faccia Luna restaurant in West Scranton re-opened for dinner Saturday night. The Italian restaurant was forced to close Tuesday afternoon after flames broke out inside an exhaust system.

Since the fire, repairs have been underway, but the restaurant is not back to 100-percent. Chefs say they still can't cook any pizzas. Owners estimate the fire damage will cost them more than ten thousand dollars.

The blaze in West Scranton was ruled accidental.
