Osteria Toscana is a restaurant that offers a range of vegetarian options and fresh vegetables in their pasta dishes, catering to various tastes. Standout meals include Caesar's salad, watermelon salad, calamari steak, linguine and clams, and seared petrale. The petrale is cooked to perfection with a delicious butter, wine, and lemon sauce, accompanied by squash, green beans, broccoli, carrots, and polenta. The restaurant provides an exceptional dining experience, with outstanding wine and desserts. Outdoor seating is available for those dining with pets.
Guests often celebrate special occasions at Osteria Toscana, where the staff makes visitors feel welcome and takes time to chat and listen. The food is consistently praised, especially the pasta and veal dishes like Veal Piccata, which is considered outstanding. The restaurant's atmosphere and service create a memorable experience. While the pasta is appreciated, some find it lacks protein and feel hungry after a meal, especially if only a small side of sourdough bread is included, which can be purchased separately. Guests should note that a living wage fee of 5% is charged before tax.
The reviews highlight the restaurant's great service, with friendly and considerate waiters, such as Francisco and Adrian, who made the dining experience enjoyable. The gnocchi with pesto sauce, Chef's Playground menu, and dishes like gnocchi, gazpacho, bruschetta, and panzotti di zucca were also praised by customers.
