Lunch for 4 was delicious and quick. 2Pollo sandwiches and 2 entree salads with chicken (sorry I don’t remember the menu name). Waters and non alcoholic beverages were served almost immediately. Bruschetta app came out next followed by our meals. We spoke with the owner Laura who was friendly and caring. Worth stopping by if you’re in the area.

As someone with Balkan roots, originally from Kosovo, and with a deep appreciation for Italian culture, I truly enjoyed my experience here. The pasta was delicious and authentic, the menu offers great choices at very reasonable prices, and the atmosphere made it a perfect place for a date. It was a memorable evening and I left very satisfied. Highly recommended!

My husband and I were in town for the night and wanted italian food. Yelp gave us information about La Toscana and we decided to have dinner there. Menu had traditional italian items and we were told about the specials which included osso bucco. I ordered the special and my husband ordered the veal marsala. Both meals were very well prepared and delicious. We ended the meal with dessert and decaf espresso. Service was prompt, although we were lucky enough to enter the restaurant before the rush. I felt I recieved a very good quality meal, fairly priced. We would love to return when we come back to the area.

Our waiter, Manuel, was Superman. He was awesome and made my wife's birthday very enjoyable. The food was excptional as alwasy. My only concern is the bus service was very poor. Manuel had to do everything including water, bread/butter and utensils. There was a lot of bus staff and for some reason our table was entirely overlooked. We have been coming here for many years and have never had this challenge. However, Manuel, more than made up for it. Always a smile on his face and very,very attentive. Thank You Manuel ! You are very much appreciated !!

Highly recommend! Great food paired with a welcoming cocktail bar. The staff at every level are exceptionally delightful—down-to-earth, friendly, and create a wonderful atmosphere. Guests can choose between the dining room, bar area, or a comfortable covered outdoor space. The owner-management is always present and engaged, which really shows. Definitely worth a visit

I have been coming to La Toscana for decades and it never disappoints. The fish special, Petrel Sole with risotto was delicious and the portions are perfect! Thank you for the wonderful consistency in delivering delicious, well-prepared Italian delights. I will be back, as always.

We live in Southern California and this is our favorite restaurant in the Bay Area. Every year we stay in the area just to eat here. Service is on point every time, the food is delicious and they have a great wine list. I can't say enough about this place!

We hadn't been here in a couple of years and this dining experience did not disappoint. This was our first time sitting outside in their courtyard nice cozy space I though we may be forgotten about being outside but that was not the case at all. We ordered the Misti Frito and it was fantastic the calamari was cooked perfectly. We also had the spinach salad and the soup these were generous portions and tasted fantastic. For dinner we had the lasagna, beef short rib and the Pescatore my husband said the Pescatore was the best he has had! The lasagna and braised short ribs tasted excellent as well. We tried the lemon blueberry tiramisu and it was heavenly such a nice change to the regular tiramisu and CB is CB perfect gif the summer months. We will definitely be returning soon the food and service were fantastic!

Always good food. Dined on a Sunday when I believe usual staff had day off. Although they tried, service was lacking. No offer of cheese on gnocchi, no offer for addition drinks or desert. Manny was missed!!!
We hadn't been to LaToscana in a long time. Made a quick Open Table reservation and got in when we wanted. The service was excellent and the food great. The owner greeted us, sat us, and when leaving asked how our food was. We will go back. Thank you La Toscana for a wonderful meal. Oh I forgot. We had the Arancini balls, polenta cakes, and we both had the Petrale sole. We asked for no cherry tomatoes and no arugula. We asked for vegetables and everything was wonderful. Thanks again.

What a contrast – last week, it was very noisy and service dragged throughout. This time I sat on the enclosed "porch" where it was very quiet. The waiter was prompt and I got my food in about the same time as it took just to have our waitress appear last time! Generous portions of petrale and risotto.

Everyone of us enjoyed our delicious lunch. My was the braised short rib with polenta and a lovely broccoli spinach side dish. Others loved their Gamberoni, Bay shrimp Louie and pasta Orecciette. All Tiramisu desserts were delicious. Definitely will be back. Parking is not an issue.
Linda
Excellent dinner experience. The fish of the day was petrale sole which was beautifully charred and served with wonderful lemon risotto. My friend had lasagna which she loved and took half home for dinner the next day. We sat in the enclosed outdoor area, so it was quiet. The bar is lively, especially during Happy Hour, so noisy. Service was great -- no hovering. I also think they've tried to keep their prices reasonable, all things considered. Certainly less crazy than a lot of Marin restaurants! I would definitely recommend and will be going back.

Food and Service is exceptionally good. However, unfortunately the prices have increased significantly. Be sure to ask the price for their special dishes.
