Normally I frequent a restaurant for it's food but I thought I had found a restaurant that I just enjoyed going to and relaxing back as well as the food, which isn't common for someone in their senior years but lately I'm not sure what happened. I feel as though I've started attending a religious service instead of the old school, generation lost, fun escape I'd learned to love in mylanas. The owner was great fun but something has come over him that he feels he needs to make people feel they are under him. He " knows everyone" and " everything" and forget it if you don't share his godly views. I've witnessed this "God" man scream at his employees in public like they are trash and even some of his normally excellent dishes are becoming sub par at times. I think maybe he needs to ask his God to take away whatever is distracting this man from his original goals and ethics the place would be unbeatable. Otherwise forget about it. It's hard to tell what message he's trying to get across when speaking of his religion with godfather movies playing as background

I woke up the next day and was still thinking about how good my meal was. I can't express how fresh all the food was. The flavors were blended so well in each dish I tried. The lasagna was out of this world (and I'm very picky with that dish.) I also tasted the chicken francese, which was incredible. These are dishes I've had many times but there were new, exquisite flavors and textures to it. Their dessert was just as good as the entree. The creme brulee and chocolate cake are the perfect way to end a meal like that.
Great job Mylana's! My only suggestion is you need a second bar tender, at least for Saturday night. He was slammed the 2 hours we were there, and since we sat at the bar it took him a while to get our orders and such. Other than that, I hope you are open for many years to come!

Didn't like the food honestly. Not the greatest Italian food. Soup to salty, meatballs way to much oregano/ Italian seasoning. And my chicken was over cooked and stringy. I only went there because my usual Italian fine dining restaurant is closed on Wednesday and it was my birthday dinner.

Came in Saturday evening with a large group and immediately felt welcomed. Servers were very attentive. My son fell quite ill during our dinner and the staff was incredible. I apologize to anyone else in the dining room who had to witness that situation—but the staff helped me and cleaned everything up so rapidly and with such care. Thank you!
(I did not get a chance to have my meal but the rest of my family raved about theirs!)

I go for the Veal Francaise. Hubby goes for the Prime Rib Ravioli. Joe was the chef at another establishment where we first tasted his food. When we learned he opened up his own place in Hanover, we followed the food! His foccacia is to die for!!! We always get boxes to take home left overs because the portions are so generous!

Husband went with friends and was so impressed he wanted to take me there the next day. We went and I was impressed also-- the staff are beyond accommodating. We are planning to return this week and our grown children are going as well.

One of my favorite places. Outstanding food. I have so many memorable meals here. The red sauce is amazing. I recommend trying his features because they usually sell out quickly. Chef Joe is very well known for years in the culinary scene locally and his experience shows. Short rib ravioli is a must. I highly recommend dining here and make a reservation especially on weekends so you are not disappointed. Love the place!!!

Hands down the most enjoyable establishment in Wilkes Barre. Food quality, employees, environment, and service are all top shelf. Eric works a little magic to turn around any tough day.

This is our new favorite place for Italian! We try to end at Mylana’s for dinner every two weeks. The food is incredible and makes everywhere else that’s Italian pale in comparison. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate. Perfect for date night at the bar or dinner in the dining room with family. The bartender makes wonderful cocktails with many options. And most uniquely the owner and his family who help staff the restaurant make you feel welcomed and happy to see you always. The wait staff are all lovely people as a whole and are very attentive. It’s a great place to go and enjoy, have dinner, and relax for hours with friends. Mylana’s is a must go to!
