i have been to Toscano many times now the food is always fantastic, however we have had the same server 2 times and both times we had issues with our orders. this last time we considered ordering the eggplant appetizer, we were advised it would take 18 min and since we were going to a show at ART. we said never mind and ordered a different app. the server misunderstood us and put in the eggplant anyway. turns out it didnt take 18 min and one member of my party really loved it so i didnt say anything. the last time i was there the same server misunderstood us and we received a different dish than i ordered. the dish we got was delicious so again i said nothing. the one thing my party noticed is that the acoustics are not the best its was very loud with a full dining room and maybe that contributed to the issues with the waiter. i would strongly recommend Toscano. the service is NOT bad, and we were lucky we had happy accidents.
We really enjoy Tosacno, particularly there consistency and great, welcoming service. This was our first visit to the Harvard Square location and we will be back. It is very convenient to A.R.T. The open all day schedule is particularly convenient.
Food is very good. But the noise level, even early-ish on a Saturday evening, was awful. Impossible to hear our friends sitting right across from us. Had to shout to be heard. "Energetic" is a much kinder way of describing the noise level. It was intolerable and i couldn't wait to leave. We will not be back for that reason.
Our server was pleasant and friendly. We sat at a very comfortable high top. The food was delicious and the menu varies.
I dined last evening with friends at Toscano. It's always hard to get a table here on theatre nights so I was thrilled to get a reservation. Toscano more than lived up to my expectations. The staff was professional and friendly. The food is delicious and plentiful. We all enjoyed the experience and look forward to returning soon.
Very attractive restaurant, with pleasant old fashioned service and good Italian food. The pasta with wild mushrooms was very nice, without too much tomato as sometimes happens. The service was attentive without being intrusive.
We had an excellent dinner with a nice bottle of Italian red wine. The grilled calamari appetizer was delicious and the pasta main courses were enjoyed by my entire group.
Delicious. Went for just a basic meal and the food was great with equally attentive service. We'll be back.
Excellent service. Ambiance pleasant but somewhat noisy. Pasta y fagiola very good. Veal overcooked and tasteless, tomato sauce overwhelming.
Melissa, our server, was fantastic. Our dinner delicious. One of my absolute favorite restaurants. Consistently welcoming and delicious. Thank you.

Toscano is always buzzing with the joy of dining out, and its location in the heart of Harvard Square amplifies this. We celebrated our anniversaries here last night, and it was delightful! We felt well taken care of, the food was outstanding (sea bass fillets & steak from the daily specials), and we never felt rushed - encouraged to enjoy our evening together at our own pace. We will add this experience to our (long) list of treasured anniversary memories.
Service, food and atmosphere were all perfect for a relaxing Sunday dinner. We were not rushed and treated with great hospitality. Parking was not easy
Got the best table in the house and the most appropriately attentive server. Thank you for a great evening!
We always love Toscano, both in Harvard Square (like today) and in Beacon Hill. The food is always excellent, and the service is professional and pleasant. Great job, always.
Food is pricey but good. I don't feel like they had a huge menu but the food was good. I got the gnocchi and I wish I had the pesto pasta, it was good- I tried my friends
