Great service and great food. Had the special short rib raviolis and my wife had spicy rigatoni in a vodka sauce. Came out piping hot and delicious! Our server was awesome too. Thanks for a nice night out.

We went to this restaurant to celebrate our friends engangement. They went above and beyond my expectations. Being so personable and inclusive to all 5 of us. Theresa and Shanon were outstanding. Highly recommend for dinner or to celebrate a big occasion. 100% will be going back.

Ambience and service were great, however, my meal not so much. This was our second time visiting the restaurant after having such an enjoyable first experience. We are a bit disappointed in our second visit. I ordered a beet salad which really had very little flavor to it, and for a main course, the traditional chicken Parm. The chicken Parm was so tough and overcooked that you could not really eat it without a steak knife. My dish came out cold with globs of cheese on top. Such a vastly different dining experience than my first time. I just will chalk it up to the restaurant being extremely busy that night. I will come back a third time, however because I believe it was just an off night for the kitchen. I have good faith that this restaurant puts out an amazing product. The staff are really great, and even though it is a very small location, they seem to really accommodate people.

I finally found the perfect Italian restaurant in the northshore! Toscana’s is the real deal - authentic Italian food that tastes like it came straight from someone's grandmother's kitchen. The homemade pasta dishes are incredible…I love the spicy rigatoni it’s a MUST TRY.
The restaurant itself has a super cozy vibe perfect for this time of year. The dim lighting makes it romantic for date night but also perfect for grabbing a glass of wine or espresso martini at the bar with the girls. The way their espresso martini is made goes beyond true craftsmanship— that thing is perfecttttt and so so delicious.
The service is great, the prices are beyond reasonable for the quality, and you can actually hear your conversation (unlike so many other spots). I almost want to gatekeeper this place because it’s so perfect. 11/10 recommend!!!

Honestly, I think people look for reasons to complain. I’ve never had anything but a 5 star experience here. I’ve been for dinner, drinks, and functions. The food is fresh and tasty. Drinks are made well, and the service cares. It has a casual vibe, but mixes in a perfect balance of class and sophistication. Huge fan! Just go and enjoy!

I have always liked the food at Toscana and still do. While I appreciate their take out business (doordash etc) is probably helping them out, it is destroying the dining experience there. I hope they can reevaluate how they handle takeout to balance both. On our most recent visit: * Couldn't get to the host stand due to it being crowded by at least six drivers waiting for over 10 minutes. * The area which used to be seating next to the bar is now a prep station of folding tables holding takeout. * Food took an exceptionally long time and came out in an odd order. This killed the eat in experience.
If take out is booming this much I actually think that is great for the business but do something so it doesn't kill the environment. Perhaps take the same space across the back of the restaurant that is currently taken down the middle, put up a significant divider and while there, add a side door for delivery pickup. Finally limit the delivery orders so you can still handle the dining room.
Finally, remove or replace the TV that has gone funny colors.
Dietary restrictions: They seem to have a good amount of gluten free options on the menu with a substitute pasta.

My husband and I sat at the bar Sunday night for dinner and the bartender Jackie was very kind & efficient. We were sad to see that the artichoke heart appetizer has been taken off the menu. That is one of the reasons we like to come here. We shared our usual chicken entree and enjoyed that over glasses of house red.

Fabiola was a fantastic waitress. My salmon was perfectly cooked and the cocktails are to die for. Always a top pick for lunch or dinner.

Always the best food and terrific service. It was my birthday and not only did a few staff say “Happy Birthday “ but I received a delicious free cannol! And they played Happy Birthday in Italian over the speakers. Very subtle. Just perfection!

As always, Toscana did not disappoint. Our food was excellent and the staff was wonderful. We had the chicken Milanese with burrata caprese special and the tenderloin with butternut squash and lobster risotto. UNREAL. Can't wait to return!
