    CAFE TOSCANA is a must stop for me on all my trips to Wilkes- Barre, PA from Wilmington, DE. It has become the reason to look for all opportunities to get up there. The Friendly Service and DELICIOUS FOOD, across the entire Menu. makes CAFE TOSCANA the place to go to!

    The food was very good. Nice presentation and the service was excellent. My only pet peeve is the bread could be better. It’s very plebeian. Typical commercial white bread. They need to find a source for more authentic Italian pane. Maybe Sullivan St. Bakery in NYC? Besides the bread everything else was delicious and top notch!

    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.

    We had a party of 3 on new years ever and the food was great ,servers were attentive and didn’t make us feel rushed even though it was New Year’s Eve. I would highly recommended trying if you have not tried going there. It’s not Just a special occasion place food was not over priced it was priced adequately for the area, the atmosphere was elegant but not pretentious and the food was so worth it. It was like a little taste of nyc in our backyard.
