Tosca Cafe serves wonderful food, featuring excellent pasta and desserts. The location is great, although the acoustics can be loud at times. The restaurant includes a private dining room for special occasions, offering a first-class atmosphere and service. The meatballs are excellent, rich and tender, making a strong impression on guests. The bar is known for its great negronis and expertly prepared cocktails, although some recent visitors noted that certain selections were unavailable.
The focaccia, drenched in the sauce of the delicious meatball appetizer, and the chicory caesar salad have also been highlighted as standout dishes. While the food may not be as outstanding as before, Tosca maintains a unique charm that captures the essence of classic dining experiences. Guests have mentioned enjoying the ambiance, with red leather booths and echoes of opera, creating a memorable atmosphere. Although some diners experienced minor service hiccups, the overall experience remains terrific, promising a return for the great food and character that Tosca Cafe embodies.
The manager Anna was attentive, and the staff was amazing. Guests have noted that the food was top notch and the service was kind, although some mentioned they may have to wait, especially during busy times. The restaurant is short-staffed at times, but staff have offered complimentary appetizers while guests waited. Despite some delays in service, the food remains great, and diners appreciate the efforts to ensure a pleasant experience.
