Reviews for Cafe Toscana in Wilkes-Barre, PA
Host and hostess very attentive. Dress is casual. I had on Jeans and a hoodie, but you can also dress up. You can also sit at... the bar. Read more
A little disappointed the gnocchi's were very doughy the shrimp were overcooked the lobster ravioli were pretty good but it was... supposed to be a vodka sauce it tasted like a tomato sauce. The owner came up to talk with me and comp me my meal and was veryapologetic. Will try again The Manhattans were really good Read more
They have a very robust menu, there is something for everyone here! The portions are big and the bread with the oil is amazing!... I got the penne al pesto with shrimp and the sauce is a buttery and light as a pesto sauce, so delicious! We also got cannoliand the bombas ice cream - both very good. The staff is attentive and the ambience is cozy with rustic vibes. Great for datenight, casual dinner or a nice event. Highly recommend! Read more
We had an excellent dinner here prior to the John Mulaney concert. Everyone in our party was pleased with their meals. The... starter bread and oil and Caprese app were ok. The calamari and fried cheese were the best apps. NY Strip was well prepared,though slightly past the medium rare I requested. Chicken and shrimp scampi was good, not great. Generally it was a nice foodexperience. Read more
A trip we make several times a year takes us through Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Two years ago, we were hungry as we approached... Wilkes-Barre and went online to get a recommendation for a late lunch. One of the top rated restaurants was Cafe Toscana. What awonderful discovery. The food was outstanding, and we now try to time our trip so we can enjoy a lunch or dinner there. For astarter, try the fresh caesar salad or delicious minestrone soup. For a main, try the manicotti di casa or the mushroom risottoin a brandy sauce. For dessert, the Tartufo Bomba is highly recommended. In the future, we look forward to trying the veal,chicken, and seafood dishes. The service was efficient but not intrusive. The ambience reminded me of a ristorante in Italy. Read more
The best Italian restaurant I've ever been to! Probably one of the best overall restaurants within Luzerne County. Food was a... 5*, service was over the moon fantastic! Very friendly and welcoming. Would recommend, and go again, and again! *try thelasagna* Read more
Salad dressing was oily and tasteless. Ribeye was way overcooked! Service was next to non-existent aside from taking the order... and bringing it the food. Read more
They have Brandy listed in two of their meals but I couldn't get a Brandy old fashioned? Probably didn't matter, since they put... so much bitters in, I couldn't taste anything else. The braised beef ravioli and penne pesto were excellent! Read more
