This restaurant was recommended to us and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The food, ambiance and wine were excellent and the staff very efficient. The prices were very good for the quality of food and wine. We will be back.

We had dinner on a Friday night with another couple. There was no wait, and we received friendly and patient service (it took a while to decide what we wanted to order). They had a decent wine selection and menu. The menu was not over priced, and the food was well worth what we paid. I took the leftovers back... More

What a surprise. Had not been downtown in forever. My aunt wanted to have lunch here. It is the best Italian cuisine in the area. The chicken Marsala special was absolutely delicious, perfectly prepared and presented. My aunt had Caesar salad with grilled chicken, which she definitely enjoyed. The chocolate pyramid with caramel and vanilla ice cream -- OMG! Also... More

My husband and I didn't plan to come here but since we had to wait an hour and a half at Rustic Kitchen at Mohegan Sun, he decided to google a good Italian restaurant for me because I wanted to eat Frutti di mara. We found Cafe Toscana. To our surprise this place did not disappoint us. We had a... More

Right in downtown Wilkes Barre, this was a nice place, nicely decorated, with a good staff that served good to very good food. (The photo shown is not correct as of 3/8/2013.) I ate with my teenage daughter who thought the food was excellent. I wish we had gone back the next night rather than going to Oyster; if you... More

What a great place for lunch. Clean, upscale and fantastic food. The only thing is that you would think because of the name that there would also be a great after-dinner coffee selection but that's not so. I suggested it so hopefully they will work on that.

This is a lovely quiet restaurant that is simple yet elegant. There was Italian music clearly playing in the background yet it did not in the least intrude on a conversation. Wonderfully they did not sit everyone right next to the next table, skipping a table to give everyone some privacy. Near the bar there was a soccer game being... More
