Classic Italian dining meets old-school neighborhood restaurant at Wilkes-Barre’s Buona Sera.

Locals have been lining up in the city’s Parsons section to try the authentic Italian cuisine. Ample parking, a cozy and inviting décor and a friendly staff welcomes guests to feel at home. Fresh, warm bread also helps, of course.

Menu Highlights

The Clams Oreganata is the perfect way to begin your meal. From there, you might as well get what you came for, a classic Italian dish. The Penne Puttanesca hits all the notes with a fresh tomato sauce full of anchovies, capers and black olives. Or go for the Linguine Di Mare, packed with clams, mussels, shrimp and calamari. And don’t dare leave this place without trying the homemade rice pudding.
