Cafe Tuscano

The food is great. Service friendly but a little slow, so don’t go on your lunch break. It is at the base of the hospital, so it’s a great place to kill some time if you are waiting for someone to get a procedure done. I highly recommend the Italian club panini. In my experience the food is with the wait.

I was very impressed with the food and the amount that you got. I was expecting it to be very pricey but it wasn’t. The atmosphere is also very nice. A great place to go for a date night.

What a wonderful surprise! Who knew? I had blackened salmon. ½ Cesar salad. Lasagna for hubby. Child had tri-​tip steak. Our friend had the fish stew (Cioppino). Two glasses of red wine, two margarita’s, Diet Coke, Dr Pepper, appetizer olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Parmesan cheese & bread. $ 105.00. It was an excellent meal! I would go back. We were here for a basketball tournament. Kid friendly!

After reading a negative review I decided to give another good one. The food is more than mediocre and the atmosphere is great. As far as serving some dishes on certain days only, it’s not a chain restaurant. Still love it!

Their bisque is amazing! Some of their entrees and sandwiches could use some work… But that rich bisque is worth 5 stars!!!

This was the biggest surprise I’ve ever had in dining, attached to a gas station like a subway or Pizza Hut express was some great pasta and great experience.

Seriously sketched out at first after finding out it was attached to a chevron, but when we walked in we were pleasantly surprised by the very elegant interior! Their crawfish bisque blew us away with its amazing taste, to continue our entrees were just as amazing! Defiantly have to come back here!

Love the atmosphere — and the location is good for the hotels. For an «Italian» place the wine list is odd. You have to do research to see what you are getting if you order the «California merlot» or «Italian cabernet» — Just provide a list of wines with the names of the winery/​type/​name of the wine.
We ordered the cheese and bread plate from the appetizer menu– it was excellent bread with balsamic vinegar and oil with grated parmesan cheese– very odd way to serve it and kind o messy– we kind of expected slices of a couple kinds of cheeses — but the bread was excellent.
Our main dishes were fine — the pork medalians were not exactly what we expected, was thinking more of a glaze than gravy, but the carrots served with it were spot on and the mashed potatoes were very good.
My pizza was very tasty– it just wasn’t served as hot as one would think (when you can take a bite right away without burning your mouth, it is kind of telling) — but the italian sausage was very, very good.

if I could rate lower than one, I would give this place a –ten. The food there was terrible. My sister’s spaghetti bowl was completely filled with water, thus making my sister’s bread completely soggy. The chicken there was so artificial that I couldn’t eat it. The taste of food in idaho is terrible! Of you don’t think so, then go to Bozeman, MT. Then we’ll talk. This concludes my review for this resturant. Please look at my other reviews. Most of those reviews are for my hometown, Bozeman, MT. Thanks!

I really liked the atmosphere in this restaurant. It feels classy and intimate. We had excellent service. Everything is new inside. The portions were small and I could have used some aromatics in my dish… like garlic… but it’s a good place to take a date. One of the few places in town the staff looks dressed up… so feel free to dress nice. Probably one of three places in town that’s got a modern feel. I would recommend it.

This place is a hidden gem worthwhile of multiple visits. Concealed inside a gas station convenience store, it has incredible atmosphere, delicious food, great servers. It is worth 10 stars. Get the pork saltimbocca. MMMMMMMMMMM!

I went here to carbo-​load for the Pocatello Marathon because it was conveniently close to my hotel and had excellent reviews on Unilocal.I was pretty satisfied with my meal: mac & cheese as well as grilled chicken «small dishes», which I thought were generously portioned and fairly priced. The server was friendly and provided quality service. The interior was cute, which makes it all the more intriguing that it’s connected to a gas station. It’s not a fancy restaurant, but I’m giving it 5 stars because it’s a great value for what you pay. I would definitely come back if I’m ever in town again.

I ordered the shrimp scampi special with a side salad, glass of France Pinot Noir and shared a slice of the carmel salted cheesecake. The service was fine. There was another table with a couple and one with a single diner. It was pretty quiet.
I woke up at 1:30 am with major stomach aches. I woke up again at 5:00 with more painful stomach aches. I took a Pepto Bismol pill to settle my stomach and it’s still not feeling better. I’m in Idaho traveling for work and being sick from food is the worst. Food poisoning from the shrimp scampi. My coworker didn’t have it and she was fine. I felt great before the meal, walked back to the hotel and hours later, I am having major stomach aches. Needless to say, I will not return.
I’d like to add that on the following day, I took pepto Bismol for the whole entire day, ate two slices of dry bread and 7up. I would not be surprised if other customers experienced food poisoning from having the shrimp scampi, too.

We had a delightful experience at this great little place. Lisa, our server could not have been more friendly and gracious. We had excellent service. Having worked in a service industry for over 40 years, I have high expectations and Lisa did not disappoint!
Hubby had the surf & Turf Linguini. I had the prime rib Gorgonzola salad. We both immensely enjoyed our meals. I had some of honey’s bread to sop up the delicious dressing. (It would be nice to have a small piece of bread served along with the salad)
Our hotel was just across the street. I had read the Unilocal reviews and the hotel also recommended this place.
We would definitely go here again when traveling through Pocatello.

Food is mediocre at best. Service isn’t the greatest either. Some of the food is only made on certain days of the week and they have very very little choices for vegetarians.
I wasn’t expecting much out of this place but they didn’t impress me one bit.
The atmosphere is warming but doesn’t make up for the rest of the restaurant. I won’t be eating here again.

So my brother, my best friend, and I came here to eat after an exhausting trip from Yellowstone. We were hungry and nothing is open on Sundays in Idaho.
This place was cute and fancy (it is attached to a gas station after all). I don’t know if I got the wrong dish, but it wasn’t too good. I ordered the Fettuccine Tuscano and when my plate came it looked like reheated leftovers. The Alfredo sauce was Chunky and oily, much like when you microwave it. The pasta and the sausage were pretty good, but overall, I wouldn’t give it a five star.
Service is good and food is fast. Nifty little place!

Crawfish bisque, Tri-​Tip Fettuccini Alfredo and a Tiramisu like no other. I just can’t believe this is hidden inside a gas station. Believe me, the fifth star was just ‘this close’ to being there. If you’re EVER in Pocatello, you gotta try this place.

I stopped in right when they opened up and was in a rush. The bartender was great and very attentive to my needs. The Cobb salad was awesome along with the bread… oh and the crawfish bisque was out of this world! Don’t let the fact that they are tied to a gas station stop you from enjoying a great meal.

Oh my goodness — five star gas station food?! Only in Pocatello. Checked Unilocal for a dinner spot, and was intrigued by the location inside a gas station mini mart. We knew we had to go. It was actually quite classy and delicious! Great service, full menu, and a good bar selection. This is a ‘must stop’ in Pocatello. Highly recommended.

First, forget the place is attached to a gas station. Walk in the gas station and to the left is the portal to Narnia. Once you pass through the door, it doesn’t feel like a gas station restaurant. I’m not going to lie, I was was being judgey and just hoping for edible food. I was tired, the rest of the food in Pocatello wasn’t great, and I just wanted to eat and go back to my hotel. I’ve traveled a lot and I’m very picky… this is probably one of the best meals I’ve had. Maybe my expectations were low, I don’t know… but I cleaned my plate and I never do that. Whatever entrée you get… listen — add the Caesar salad. You will not regret it. Im still wishing I had snuck back to the kitchen and stolen a jar of it.
