Best Italian Restaurants in Wilkes-Barre

They offered gluten free pasta and pizza which was great to have options however the pasta tasted horrible, awful texture and a bad after taste. Chicken Marsala was great and the pizza was a hit. The tiramisu was not good but the Nutella cheesecake was yummy.

Me and my Wife had reservations for 8pm on Valentine's Day and when we arrived we were greeted by a server and were quickly seated. The space in the restaurant does seem a little tight when u arrive but the drinks and food make up for it. My wife had the chicken parmesan which was a big portion and was delicious cuz I had a piece of her food lol. I ordered the shrimp scampi and it was delicious They gave you a big portion of shrimps with angel hair pasta. The drinks were great also, I recommend the Caramel Apple drink . All and All Cafe Toscana is a great place for you and your wife or gf for a date night GREAT !! atmosphere.

Everything was perfect. The setting, the staff and the food was fantastic. The veal was so tender and the portions were big. Of course took the leftovers home. The Straciatella soup was delicious as was the shrimp cocktail. We had cheesecake for dessert which was fantastic. We shared it and couldn’t finish it. The piano player adds a nice touch.

My husband and I went to Rikasa for Valentines dinner. We were greeted very warmly and welcomed. This was our first visit, and we’re pleasantly surprised at the restaurant. Our server was Patrick, he was so friendly and knowledgeable about the food. You could tell that Patrick gets excited about their food and wine listing. Patrick went into detail about everything. The Caesar salad was spectacular. I LOVE salads and I usually judge most restaurants by the lettuce and if their salad dressing is homemade…-excellent. I had the sea bass and my husband had the braised short rib. The sea bass was so good and the portions were really nice. We absolutely loved this venue and we are so happy to have come here. We will be back. My husband said we felt like we made friends with Patrick, he was great.

Outstanding dining experience, potato gnocchi in vodka sauce with lobster melted in your mouth, gnocchi was so light! Valentine tart was a palate delight!
