16 Best Italian Restaurants in Wilkes Barre

“Rustic Kitchen is hands down one of the best dining experiences at Mohegan Sun. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cozy and upscale — warm lighting, inviting décor, and an energy that makes you feel welcome right away.

The food is outstanding. Every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the seafood was fresh, and the steak was absolutely spot-on. You can tell the chefs take real pride in what they serve.

Service was exceptional from start to finish. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, offered great recommendations, and made sure we felt taken care of the entire evening.

Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner, a night out with friends, or a pre-casino meal, Rustic Kitchen delivers every time. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!“

“Illiano's is by far the best restaurant in the valley. There's something for everyone on the menu. Order the sicilian marinara pizza...thick crust, fresh tomatoes, garlic and plenty of cheese. If you're not happy, it's on you. It's definitely not the food“

“I had dinner there with friends and everything was super. The food was delicious, and the service was even better. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a great meal and very good waitress and bartender.“

“My family and I had some friend over Saturday evening and wanted to keep it simple with pizza. Our order was a plain, pepperoni and a grandma. As usual every pie was so fresh and delicious. My favorite will always be the grandma, just the right amount of pesto oil, thin and crispy. While I forget his name, the tall gentleman with glasses, who I assume is the manager, is always so polite and keeps things moving behind the counter. Dino’s will always be a pizza that I enjoy and highly recommend!!!!“

“Tried for the first time since moving to area, and kitchen is not set up completely at home. ordered Chicken francaise for 6 value, I was not disappointed. Was it mine? No. Was it big chain? NO. Very pleased with this Sunday dinner. Mozzarella sticks, garlic broccoli, and Bread! and oh, the fettuccine side I ordered will definitely be ordered again. Greeter was wonderful and told me, next time call in the order rather than through 3rd party, saves BUNCHES of money :)“

“This is the second time it was dried out. No taste. And the bottled garlic that they are using was so over powering it for Ed it down. And I asked for a little more sauce. When it came. It was all dried. Like it was sitting g under the heat lamp a long time. This is the second time. And it had no taste. Twice . And the prices have gone sky high for. Pasta. 17 for a lousy dish of clams in sauce that had no taste. I’m very sorry we loved co I g here for years. But the food is. O share what it is. Most likely there is no one watching how this is prepared“

“Today was a good day we had a good time . The food was good the service was ok but she should have offered up the olive garden experience on a special birthday visit. No suggestions for drinks no suggestions on appetizers, no pre bus but food was good company was better and all was great.“

“Great service awesome food!definitely will be back !!“

“I had a fabulous experience! My first time here and I’ll definitely be back! The food was excellent, the dirty martini was top notch, and the service was perfect. Ask for Connie to be your waitress-she rocks!“

“Absolutely love going to cork! It’s a fantastic place for a date night, girls night or anything in between. The staff is always attentive and friendly. I have several other friends that make it a point to go there weekly and they always leave well fed and happy with their service from staff. You won’t regret adding cork to your list of places to visit!“

“The buns must have come right out of the oven when I placed my order for my primo sized American cold cut hoagie with lettuce, tomato,onion, and oil and vinegar. It was made with the bun being very warm and that it ruined the whole taste of my hoagie. It melted the cheese to a soggy texture like when a hoagie sits outside on a hot day. A cold cut doesn't mean warm bun. And I didn't ask for a baked hoagie. I was going to take it back in, but I was so pressed for time. But I just took it apart and ate what I liked or what tasted ok. When I did a review on my Primo app, they asked for the ticket number. I'm going to check my truck it might be in there. I believe it was last Monday evening, 7pm. I am not from the area, but I used to stop at the previous location on Rt 309 a lot it was convenient.“

“I have been ordering from Pizza Bella Ashley for the past five years for my Dad's lunches. The staff is always friendly and helpful with suggestions on what to order. He really enjoys their meatloaf dinner and cheesesteaks. I highly recommend this place!!!

“Very accommodating, big portions, upfront about availability, friendly service, even though I went there before the evening rush, I didn't feel like I would be there forever because it was slow. I took my French fries to go and wasn't charged for modifications to my spaghetti dinner. There was a completely cheese-free pizza but I guess it didn't sell well. Personally, I miss it.“

“Awesome food and great service even on the delivery side. Did amazing job. Food is so good to.“
