Crawfish Bisque was absolutely delicious, I would make a meal out of it. Staff was welcoming and quick. Food was excellent.

Absolutely love their food and their menu selections. I have always had great service and enjoy the Atmosphere very much. However, I take huge issue with the $1 per item to-go order fee. When dining in your paying someone to wash the dishes and maintain a clean restaurant, while still providing to go supplies, but for the to-go orders an additional charge is absolutely ridiculous. Totally understand the rising cost of food & supplies which justifies the raised prices on the new menu. With to-go orders they are literally doing no additional serving or cleaning up after, but they pay more per item? Just not seeing the justification personally. That is why I’ve only rated three stars to an absolute fantastic restaurant.

The atmosphere and menu options here were great, but my experience was made 100% better because of Brock’s excellent service and recommendations! I highly recommend him for anyone looking to have the best service in Pocatello!

We loved this place. Our choices were amazing. We got Tri-Tip fettuccine and Chicken Piccata and they had an amazing flavor. We will definitely come back. Nice staff too.

This place is great, and as far as Italian food, it is definitely in the top 5 I have had in Idaho. Has a great relaxing, friendly atmosphere.

Had the steak appetizer, chicken marsala and tiramisu. All items were very good. Service was great and processes were reasonable.

The food was good but the portions are more suited to a small child, therefore I consider the price to high.

Cafe Tuscano is in a gas station, but don't let that stop you! The ambiance is a bit like a welcoming living room; fire place in the corner, tv (no sound which is perfect!) on the wall, hard wood tables and comfortable chairs. The music was a mix Rat Pack and contemporary crooners. Our server Gabriel was fantastic and made a couple of recommendations that were spot on! We had a charcuterie board to start along with a glass of buttery Moscato. Three different cheeses, several meats, artichoke, and grilled garlic along with crackers and bread. I won't go into what they were as the assortment changes daily. For dinner, chicken parmesan - the chicken was tender and moist, but not very flavorful, meh... add some salt and pepper. The pasta was al dente and the red sauce was delish. My wife had chicken marsala which she found well flavored, and the pasta was also al dente. The portions are big, so come hungry. For dessert, the house made tiramisu was tasty. Not the traditional cake, this was a rich, creamy custard served in a glass mug with ladyfingers in and out. The restaurant is 1/10 of a mile off the freeway with easy on/off access. If I ever make it back to Pocatello, would stop in again.

Fantastic food and atmosphere! Right off the freeway in Pocatello. Fresh, flavorful and my father and I are making plans to come again and try the dinner menu. Thanks to Gabriel, our server, for a wonderful experience!
