Tuscany il Ristorante

I feel like family at Tuscany il Restorante! The food is outstanding! The staff and the owner Tommaso know their customers by name and what they like to drink! It is the neighborhood gathering place where you always feel welcome.

Don’t even try applying for a job here. They had me come in and then told me to come back a week later. Then told me they meant to call me. Owner and management need to get it together.

I've been craving Italian food ever since I moved from NYC, and this place absolutely hit the spot. It had been way too long! The food was authentic and delicious, and the wine paired perfectly with the meal. I’ll definitely be coming back—this restaurant brought back the flavors I’ve been missing!

The service, the variety of excellent food choices available, the taste and the bottle of Red wine were all spot on for this visit. I truly enjoyed my wild alaskan salmon dish. The seats were also nice as the place was super busy for the midweek early dinner time

Celebrated my parent's anniversary here last night. Mark was an excellent waiter! The seafood spaghetti was top notch.

This is the best of the best in Ventura County. Period. End of Sentence. Such attention to detail. Great food. Great drinks. Great service. Everything, including desserts, is homemade. You can't go wrong.

The staff could not have been more accommodating to me during my time there, and the food was delicious. These people know what they are doing, a not so hidden gem in Westlake!

The food was so good I took an order home to go after we finished dinner.

October 2024

I've tried a few different Italian places in the Westlake and Thousand Oaks areas. I have to say this is one of the better, family friendly ones that really does give you your money's worth.

Tonight we had the Grilled Colossal Prawns with fresh herb and roasted garlic sauce. Basically it's pasta, with four big shrimp. Quite delicious, and I feel like it's worth the $45. You do get a very large portion.

I also took the Butterfield Jumbo Prawns (3 per order) home to go. You get a side dish of pasta with olive oil and garlic with this item. Again, well worth the $45.

The service was great! Our waiter was from Iowa, and even made a joke about it being a four-letter word. LOL.

What I do like is that not only is Tomasso's name on the menu itself as being the proprietor, but he also personally went around every single table in the restaurant to check on everyone's order.

In terms of the atmosphere, if you want the hustle and bustle Italian hole in the wall spot, eat inside. If you want a more quiet experience, say a date night, enjoy the patio al fresco dining in the open air.

Overall, I'm quite pleased with this place, and look forward to visiting again soon to try their other dishes.

It really does depend what you order, but I do feel like your money is well spent here. Portion sizes are big, the pastas are not overly sauced, or drowned in sauce, and I feel like you are getting your money's worth.

By comparison, you'll find that this place is a little less expensive than other restaurants across the street, literally, also you're getting larger portion sizes, and better tasting food. The risotto here for instance is $28. Across the street at Nona's it's $53. Do the math.

I'll be back.

The service of the waitstaff was impeccable! Anything we needed was taken care of and they were so friendly and attentive the entire night. The food was delicious and tasted so fresh. The highlight at the end of the night were the cannolis. Divine! Thank you for a wonderful night! We will be back when we come back to town!

I don't know how I found this place but I'm very happy I did. We were just passing through and decided to grab dinner, and my expectations were surpassed! I decided to request a reservation via Google search, arrived to a large parking lot in an obviously affluent area. The restaurant was easy to find and the staff was funny and friendly. We were sat and not once did we ever feel like we needed to flag down a staff because they were so attentive, fun, humorous and really created a nice environment. Now, the food, I fully expected boxed pasta however, I was wrong! I ordered a lasagna off their specials menu and my husband ordered pumpkin tortellini and we both received lovely handmade pasta and great portion sizes! We also split a minestrone soup that had fresh ingredients it was a good appetizer. They offered table bread that was addicting!

Your water glass will not go empty because again the staff are very attentive.

Really glad to have found this restaurant!

Oh, and their double chocolate cake was insanely chocolatey! Do it.
