Food service and ambiance was amazing.. highly recommend in the Scranton/PA area. Authentic Italian cuisine that you won't find most places other than NYC. Where the owners also have multiple restaurants

My husband and I went here on Valentine’s Day for the first time and we were absolutely blown away. The service was attentive and fast, food came out perfectly timed (and hot), presentation was excellent. We each had several yummy cocktails (I recommend the Honey, I Do), shared the clams appetizer, and had the Sole Special and the steak and lobster tail special for dinner. I worked in the restaurant industry in fine dining for many years and am usually so disappointed in restaurant experiences that we have mostly stopped going out to eat. Not anymore. We will be back again and again. Thank you for a lovely meal.

Excellent experience and service! The food was incredible with good portions. The new renovations made to the interior really help exemplify the relaxed, yet elegant, dining experience.

We had a company get together here the other day. It was a great experience and a nice undiscovered gem in Wilkes Barre. Parking is somewhat limited depending on how busy the restaurant is. Staff was super friendly, and also very funny! Very attentive and always made sure our waters and drinks were full at all times. Food was excellent - a bit pricy, but the quality and quality made up for the steep pricing. You won’t leave here unhappy and hungry.

First time here! 5 Stars- We had a party of 7 and we all ordered a different entrees. Food was all around very good, and portions were big. We left with leftovers and a full belly. Dessert menu was awesome, lots of homemade options and delicious.Shout out to our server! I wish I had gotten his name. He was excellent, very attentive, knowledgeable with menu and funny :)The decor inside could be a little updated, but not going to stop me from going back. Great Job Buona Sera Staff!

I cannot recommend this place enough. It’s much smaller on the inside than you might think, but the food and service were incredible. I had asked our waiter what the red drizzle was on the plate and when he told us he wasn’t sure, we were fine with that answer. But he then came back a few minutes later to tell us that he went to find the chef and found an answer for us. That type of initiative is always appreciated!

Small unassuming place, food was delicious though. Homemade sauce was excellent and chicken parm was very tender. Wife really enjoyed her creamy Shrimp Scampi. Would definitely come here again!
