Loud inside but a friendly staff with good bartenders, hosts, and waiters. Cocktails were inspired (pamplemousse foam on my Paloma, don't mind if I do!). Lovely snacky size charcuterie. Petite filet was very good, perfectly cooked and the right size. Bolognese was good, too. Wine list is admirable. Prices are what you'd expect. We would happily go back.

Disappointing overall. Despite a reservation specifying our seating preferences and there being lots of open tables, we were initially offered the table just inside the front door. (We asked and were reseated as requested.). My husband's meal was good - Caesar salad and risotto - however; my meal was terribly salty (strawberry salad and lobster ravioli) to the point that I did not finish half of either. We try Toscana perhaps once or twice a summer (here only seasonally)...

Third visit here. Service was great but 3 of the 4 steaks were overcooked. One steak was sent back and returned cold. (We think they never touched the plate.) Other than that the steaks were tender and tasty. For Restaurant Week, it was a bit pricey.
