Cafe Tuscano - Pocatello

Uhg It's really too bad this place is newly remodeled and feels like a 1980 mafia dive. Fake flowers, dark and goddy decor. Awful. We went for a family gathering, they were very friendly and tried hard to please. But the food was subpar and there was a big hair in the middle of my wrap which was completely disgusting. My husband had a pasta dish that was floating in oil, a broken cream sauce. Very disappointing experience in general.

Very nice table, and service. Wine, food, and no song. Still, it was really great, and we had mussels, halibut, crawfish bisque, wine, tiramasu. Had an interesting talk with someone at the next table, who had lived in Africa, so the ambiance was conducive to table to table conversation. Loved it overall.

Mussels, halibut, Crawfish Bisque, wine tiramisu. An amazing lunch. The service was good, the ambiance was pleasant. I will continue coming to this restaurant whenever I find myself in Pocatello.

This place was a fantastic godsend! After a hair raising 10 hour drive thru snow and ice we found this charming restaurant with hand painted murals, fun Italianesque paintings and statuary, almost over the top save for the great dinner, fantastic service and nice attitudes of the staff. We can't say enough about our server Marisa, she made our crazy day melt away just by being kind and sweet and super efficient. One of the best! Our dinners were very tasty the vegetables on the side of our chicken, piccata were perfectly done and seasoned, the chicken was tasty and moist and the risotto delicious! I could go on but i'll just say when in Pocatello or driving through, stop here!

Ok, to say this place is good is an understatement... I'm on my way back from a trip and so dumbed that I wasn't able to eat here twice. I am so full right now, but I just had to write a review because I was so amazed by this place. First of all, the smell of the amazing food right when you walked in was amazing! I eat Italian food a lot and the first thing you should notice about a good spot is the smell. It should smell like you just walked into mom or grandmas house for dinner. We were greeted right away and everyone we came into contact with was so nice. Our fantastic servers name was Kelly. She was a joy to talk to right from the beginning. She not only told us about the dishes there, but she explained the lovely story about the restaurant. I seriously can not believe this place was attached to a gas station!!! It's not anymore, but I wish all places attached to a gas stations were this good. I walked into this place not even that hungry and when I tell you I finished everything....... I finished EVERYTHING! The pulled pork chili soup was sooo good and my buddy ordered the crawfish bisque that was equally amazing. The bread was very soft and it came with warm butter. One of my biggest issues with restaurants is that they always bring you cold hard butter. It's rare when they bring you warm/soft butter and it makes such a difference. Anyway, I ordered the Shrimp Aioli olio and that was so tasty. it does have a little kick so if you can't handle spicy you might want to ask them to get you something else. unless they can tone done the spice I can probably go on and on about this place, but I will let you try it for yourself. DO NOT PASS UP ON THIS GEM!!!
