Wilkes-Barre is in Pennsylvania, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Wilkes-Barre follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Grazia was phenomenal! Attentive and knowledgable about the menu. So friendly and engaging as well. We weren’t sure where to enter and she caught us and guided us in. Phenomenal part of cork! The food was also incredible. I have yet to find a meal a don’t love. The drinks are wonderful too - the cosmo is consistent and delicious!

From the outside this place is very unassuming and would be easy to miss. Especially since we were not locals to the area. We were in the Wilkes Barre/Scranton area for a hockey game so we went here before the game. If you are looking for a nice atmosphere and quiet meal get the upstairs area. Our service was fantastic and the food was even better. From appetizer to main entrees everything was A+. Our server, Justin, was professional, helpful and made great recommendations that were very much appreciated. If I were to give one negative critique is it's not the biggest place. That's not their fault. We got there at a time that wasn't as busy. However, it might be wise to make reservations especially if you go on a weekend evening. Glad we gave it a chance and really happy we did. Great job by all.

Food was very good and drinks were especially well made, and the service was super attentive and friendly throughout our visit. That said, the lobster noodle dish felt overpriced for what was served. The portion of lobster was relatively small, and the dish didn’t quite match the $49 price point. Would recommend this place overall if you are in the area!

My daughter and I made a reservation at the bar for cocktails and dinner (Fri 12/19) and we were not disappointed! They have a great Happy Hour specials menu on cocktails as well as small plates. The bar area was cozy and Caitlin was so friendly and really made our night out so enjoyable! She is so personable, offered detailed descriptions of menu items and her cocktails were fantastic!! We both chose the French Onion soup and it was probably the best we've ever had. We also both chose the special for the night: a pan seared black infused filet with lobster truffle butter, topped with a red wine demi, served with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. It was AMAZING! We also shared the fried pickles from the happy hour menu, also delicious.

Stumbled upon this hidden gem when looking for a place for dinner on a work trip. Our incredibly knowledgeable server Jake walked us through the menu and its highlights. From our appetizer to entree to dessert we were blown away. The beautifully fresh Ahi Tuna with pineapple salsa and seaweed salad was the perfect start. The Short Rib with Gorgonzola risotto was perfectly tender and balanced well with the flavorful risotto. We loved the Mediterranean Pork Loin with feta and mint risotto. And finished strong with a heavenly slice of Tiramisu. Denise our bartender was super sweet and added to the cheery atmosphere. This place is a must visit if you’re in Wilkes-Barre.
