We chose Toscana for out anniversary dinner. We were warmly greeted by the host and wished a happy anniversary. Shannon our server was wonderful and really added to our enjoyment of the evening. I had never ordered gnocchi in a restaurant. It was delicious. My husband's Lobster Ravioli was equally good. They had two surprises for us. The host stopped at the table to check on things and gave us a very sweet anniversary card. When we'd finished eating, we ordered cappuccino. When Shannon brought them, she also brought each of us a glass of limoncello! We had a great time and would recommend Toscano to anyone.......remember to ask for Shannon

It was our 25th wedding anniversary and we didn't really know the area. I booked a table and as soon as we walked in the door, the staff were congratulating us on our anniversary. The menu is great and the food was delicious. At the end, they had a celebratory cannoli and a hand written card for our anniversary. The entire experience was top notch!

Charming Italian restaurant. We did scampi, chicken piccata, and eggplant. All were delicious, served with wonderful fresh pasta. Also enjoyed the interesting cocktail list.
JAMES
The bar is outstanding. Drinks in a tall glass - imagine that! The service is outstanding. Every time. The food is expertly prepared to order with a terrific blend of flavors. Fresh bread at the table with dipping oil. The scallops wrapped in bacon with spinach and sauce was incredible! A bit pricey for some, I get it, but not for us. The perfect dining experience every time 12/10.

Thomas
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.

My favorite restaurant! I drive an hour away with my lady to go here. We will be back very soon.

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.
We always have the best experience at Toscana! The food is delish, the drinks are fantastic and the service is incredible!!!

We waited 25 minutes to be seated after our reservation (celebrating my husband's birthday with our daughters, one of whom was home for spring break). Unfortunately, the only waiting space is a cramped area by the door where you have to awkwardly stand and move constantly to let people in and out. There were no apologies or updates while we waited. Finally seated, our waitress was lovely and worked hard, but service was very slow. Food was good. However, we were offered “still or sparkly water”. I chose still. In reviewing the bill, each bottle cost $10 which I didn't see on the menu when we picked a water choice. We never order bottled water out of principle. I nicely questioned this and the manager agreed to take 1 of the 2 bottles off the bill as the bottles “are expensive”. Yes, we know. We tipped well as the server was wonderful and working hard. But we won't be back.

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!
