   Service was horrible, our waiter was also the bartender and he barely came to our table. Didnt offer any drink menus, never came back to check on us after he finally got our food order. It also looks like they cater to regulars more than new customers. We had to flag down other waiters and servers for some service. They also ran my credit card against the wrong bill, and food was just OK, they definitely ruined Chilean Sea bass. Expected a lot better, will not be going to this establishment again.

   Took my sister there for her birthday. It was lunchtime. Not crowded. The service was professional and not rushed. The food was delicious. I had hicken parm. A perfect lunchtime portion. She had Chicken and shrimp scampi. She said it was very good. I was surprised it didn't come with pasta but she said it was filling. Desserts were to die for. Big portions. I had choc. Mousse cake and she had carrot cake. Both were very good sized. We will be going back for sure. Next will be to get hubby to go too. 😀

    Took a few minutes to get seated even with the open table. Had to ask to get bread and oil like other tables but the place was packed. A noisy group made it hard to hear some times. The food came out quickly and was very good.

    One of the best Italian restaurants we have ever dined in! What made it particularly surprising is that it was a travel stop for lunch for us. The house salad was very good with very fresh ingredients. And the pasta was wonderful-starting with the fact that it was fresh pasta and ending with great sauces, seasonings and meat or fish additions. We topped off our lunch with tartufo-delicious. Very large menu, very reasonable prices and excellent service! We will come back if we are in the area again. Highly recommend!

    I come here a lot since it's a go-to for a nice date night and the food has always been excellent, but the last couple of experiences have been very disappointing. The pasta was mushy both times, the portion sizes (which weren't big to begin with) got even smaller, and the food wasn't even warm. I don't mind paying for good food, I love good food, but it wasn't worth the almost $200 bill for only the three of us...and no there was no alcohol on that bill.

    It took 35 minutes to get 3 drinks - all were just bottles that needed to be opened. It took 40 minutes to get bread. Not all of my clams were open, so I paid for something I couldn't eat. Tables were too close together. Waitresses kept bumping into my husband's chair.

    Had dinner there with the family before a concert at the FM Kirby Center. We were seated promptly. The place filled up quickly at 6 PM and got just a little bit noisy. The wait staff was very friendly and came to our table several times to make sure we had everything we needed. I had the Chilean see bass–very nice portion and nicely cooked and seasoned. One son at the seafood risotto that he thought was superb. My other son and his usual chicken Parmesan with a side of angel hair pasta and marinara sauce. It was good but not outstanding. For appetizers we had muscles in a light marinara sauce which was quite good. My sons raved over the fried mozzarella which was very fresh. Definitely one of the better Italian restaurants in Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania. Will be back to eat there again when we are back in town.

    The service was professional, friendly and efficient. The food was very good in all respects. The atmosphere was just right, you could hear the buzz of everyone else’s conversation and still feel like no one was listening to ours. A classy, old school place, well worth a visit. I will go back.

    Dinner for girls night was amazing!! Tried some things we have never had before. Appetizers were fantastic-calamari was fresh and so tender, breaded baked shrimp was fantastic and the fried mozzarella was so good. A friend had the lamb chops and was in heaven! I had the scallops with orzo-so flavorful and tender with a light breading that did not overpower the scallops. Chocolate mousse cake and cheesecake for dessert was fabulous. My only complaint was for $32 for scallops, they could have been a little larger or there could have been more of them. Other than that, I would definitely eat there again!!

    Visited for my daughter's birthday. The octopus appetizer was very good. The seafood pasta and lamb was also very good. The steak was a little overcooked. At times the servers were very attentive and at other times couldn't get anyone's attention (there were only three other tables). I would visit again to give it another shot.

    We were traveling through Wilkes-Barre and decided to try Cafe Toscana. We were delighted with the quality of food and the excellent service. The octopus appetizer was done perfectly unlike many places where it is overcooked. The branzino was cooked differently than we have had before and was delicious. The list of wines was relatively short but high quality for the price. Too bad we live so far away because we would be regulars if we lived in the area.

    We had date night. Restaurant crowded. Seemed like we had every waiter come to our table, but the waiter that took the order didn't offer a salad and then we didn't see him check on us at all. I had a NY strip steak which was prepared perfectly, the sauce was very good, but the steak had gristle that was difficult to cut through. Not a very good cut of meat. My wife had the shrimp with mushrooms and it was amazing. Creme Brulee for dessert was excellent. Overall a good experience.

    Made reservations on Open Table over an hour before actually showing up for dinner, when we arrived the staff informed us that they were unable to fulfill our reservations because they were fully booked for the evening & we were essentially forced to leave. Not understanding as to why we weren’t notified that our reservation was unable to be fulfilled in the amount of time available between when the reservation was for versus when we actually booked the reservation. Absolutely horrible customer service & we will not be returning.

    We had eaten here several times however, this time the food was not good. My dish had to be returned and when the new dish came it was not much better. The service was very poor. No one came to our table for some time. I had to ask for water refill three times and the waiter was more interested in looking at other tables and not ours. I all fairness, they were more crowded than we’ve seen. That should not matter. We will try again but to pay over $100 for a bad dinner and poor experience is very disappointing.
