My husband and I are big foodies, but it’s pretty sad when you live in the Pittsburgh area and have to drive 269 miles for four hours and 19 minutes to find excellent authentic northern Italian cuisine. The executive chef at Buona Sera Italian restaurant in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, who is self trained, has totally mastered the art of northern Italian cuisine. We found this little gem when we were in Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania in 2024 for a wedding and vowed to come back. Yes, it’s off the beaten path, but the food is phenomenal and you will not regret for one second taking the time to find this little gem. The restaurant is hidden in a residential area of Wilkes-Barre, but Google maps will get you there and you won’t be sorry. You will have a fantastic meal, served with warmth in an old world atmosphere that will beckon your return. Five stars all the way! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I love you! Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Buona Sera is a first-rate dining experience. Tablecloths and linen napkins set the stage for a high quality meal. Albert, our server, was efficient and helpful. Tonight we enjoyed eggplant rollantini to start. This was a plentiful starter - enough to share on date night. Our entrees included blackened salmon, veal sorrento, and chicken franchise. Everyone enjoyed their meal. There were plenty of take-home boxes. We finished the evening with cappuccinos for everyone! You must see for yourself.

Nice local eatery for anyone who appreciates that environment. Jamie was our waiter and she was fantastic! Our meal was delicious and we’d come back next time we are in the area.

First time visit. Looks like a small corner restaurant from the outside but inside has lots of table seating and a full bar. There is also patio seating outback tables with umbrellas really nice. There is on street parking and a small parking lot out back. Service was excellent. Nice menu with a lot to choose from. Prices were competitive and portion size was perfect. I would definitely return.

My guy and I went to celebrate my birthday. The service was wonderful. The food was delicious. I am a big Lemon Drop martini and this one was fabulous! Highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion or just for a nice dinner.

Very Pricey.
8 Crab and Lobster Ravioli cost approx $24+.
8 was not enough to fill one person, I felt bad for the party members who went home hungry afterwards.

Parking is okay, they definitely need a bigger place with better parking.

The food was exceptional and the staff was awesome. Service was great from the moment we walked in till we left they made sure we were taken care of. The food was great and the portions are not small. Price is also perfect, not too expensive but fits exactly. Definitely a hidden gem and will definitely be getting food from there again.
