Toscano Ristorante Italiano

This is one of those spots that pulls you in before you even step inside—the menu posted outside lets you start the experience early. The space is open and easy, perfect for a date or just catching up without feeling crowded. Service started off slow and took a while to get going, and you could feel it around the room.

But once the food hit the table, everything shifted. The fried fontina was crispy on the outside with that perfect stretch of melted cheese inside, paired with sauces that didn’t last long. The spiced chicken penne followed it up strong—well-cooked pasta, balanced sauce, and tender chicken and vegetables in every bite.

Overall, a great meal in a high-energy area—just come with a little patience, because the food is worth it.

Great wings with great flavor. Wife ordered wine that wasn’t in stock but they found one that was delicious and paired well with her meal. The bag destroyed a plate of spaghetti like we’ve never seen. They gave me a free tiramisu (which was one of the best I’ve ever had) for my birthday. Desiree (our waitress) even got me a candle. She was fantastic, sweet and fun. She’s a great addition to the team.

Have never encountered a more rude host than this restaurant. Would not seat us because she couldn’t find our reservation even when we showed her we had one. Sooo glad I did not give my money to this business. It was going to be our first time there but thankfully didn’t waste our money there and def never coming back

Great atmosphere. We were seated quickly and the waiter was very nice. Food came hot.

Penne pasta 5/5
Truffle fries 4/5 a little too oily

A party of 11 people, we got reservations for 7pm we waited until 7:45pm till everyone got there to be seated, we asked the employee (short female with white short hair) if we can be sat at our table because the last person was 3 min away she did not want us to be seated down she told us we had to be 21 to be seated down which we are then she told us we had to have a parent and we told her I had a kid and then proceeds to ask me if I had my kid at 9 months. Very disrespectful and just felt like we were not welcomed in to enjoy dinner for my friends birthday. (Believe her name is Linda)

I ordered the half chopped salad, which was absolutely amazing!!!! I also ordered the spiced chicken pasta, which unfortunately lacked some flavor. The portions you receive even as half orders are huge, which was great.

The portion sizes were generous, and the food was decent overall. Unfortunately, our experience was affected by the service. Our waiter made us feel more like an inconvenience than guests, which was disappointing. It takes quite a bit for me to leave unsatisfied, but this experience missed the mark. I’m usually a very generous tipper, and in this case the included gratuity was probably for the best. On a positive note, the food runner was excellent—attentive and friendly—and had he been our server, the experience might have turned out very differently. The restaurant itself has a nice balance of casual and elegant, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. However, the wobbly tables were a bit distracting during dinner and conversation. With some attention to staff training, I’d be open to giving the place another try.

Wonderful lunch on a Saturday before heading to a show at the Fox Theater. Party of six adults, all ordered different things and everyone enjoyed thoroughly. Not very crowded at all at 1pm on a Saturday. And Atlantic Station was also very sparse with shoppers... Surprising on the Saturday before Christmas. Highly recommend the soup!

Appetizers are great & would be the only thing I ate there if I ever had to go back. Pasta dinners aren't seasoned well at all & very bland. Pricing is ok but for the price of dinner full plates, should be bigger. ALL dinners should come with free bread to eat with your meal. Service was ok. I had to ask for refills constantly. I had to ask to order more drinks. Our waiter kept trying to regulate me. I asked if he could do my order last (I'm the mom & we had a party of 12 & I was still deciding) He basically said no. But in a rude way. I had to keep trying to find him to refill the waters. I had to find him to help get us to go boxes. Also we were celebrating a birthday. He didn't offer to help with the cake or take it to the back out of our way. He didn't bring plates for us or extra forks until I had to find him & ask. They also didn't even try to acknowledge our daughter's 21st birthday with a song or nothing. Overall... I wouldn't recommend anyone to go here.

Overall the food was good. My husband ordered a Toscano burger without the bun. The burger was very small and the plate overloaded with french fries. At the table, we referred to it as a "pygmy" burger. It looked like a portion for a child. We attended Cirque after dinner and my husband got a hot dog because he was still hungry.

One of the finest Italian restaurants in Atlanta! Our experience at Toscano Ristorante Italiano in Atlantic Station on October 16th was absolutely amazing. From the drinks to the appetizers and entrées, everything was exceptionally delicious and beautifully prepared.

A special shoutout to Mercedes, our wonderful server, for providing outstanding service, and to Chef Robert for an incredible dining experience. Hats off to both of them for making our evening truly memorable. We will definitely be back!
