Incredibly cute, eclectic Italian restaurant. At first, I was nervous about some of the lower reviews. My husband and I ate here this evening and could not speak more highly of it. From the complimentary bruschetta they started our meal with to the tiramisu at the end of the night; all perfection.

The restaurant does have a food menu, but I would just listen to the owner as he reads the night’s menu to you personally. There is no drink menu; the owner asks what you want and he has it. I wish we lived in the area so we could dine again.

Oh, and they grow their own fresh basil in the back 😍

Terrible food. One of the most disappointing shrimp scampi and soup. Please don't do this to people's hard-earned money. Wasted $61+20% and an evening.

Ordered 2 dinners, one Bloomfield Chicken and a Chicken Marsala and both were horrible. Bill was $62.00 and we pretty much threw it out. I have been going there for years, never again and someone was smoking in the kitchen, that's nasty. Sorry to say that I will never go back.

This place is old and there was some smell. Also the owner was smoking. It was practically empty. The food was OK. We are vegeterian so there was not much choice. We will pass this place next time.

I've been going to Christmas party there for the last 5 years, always great time. Service and food are great they do not push you out the door.

We came here for dinner after the Polar Express train ride. We walked in at 7pm on a Thursday and the restaurant was empty aside from the owner sitting at a table in the corner. Then the owner proceeded to CHAIN SMOKE IN THE DINING ROOM OUR ENTIRE MEAL. WITH MY THREE YEAR OLD AND ONE YEAR OLD IN THE RESTAURANT. If it wasn’t raining, I didn’t have two hungry kids and my in laws and an hour drive back to the hotel we would have left. Absolutely disgusting, this place needs to be shut down. It’s a shame because the food was actually very good.

I hate to leave this review but I have no choice. We had dinner here recently, everything was going well and we were enjoying ourselves until the elderly gentleman (whom I presume is the owner) lit up a cigarette inside the restaurant!! We were the only customers left and had a toddler and a 3 month old baby with us. During our meal, I suddenly began to smell smoke and turned around to see the owner sitting at a table across the dining room smoking a cigarette. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. He saw us staring but obviously didn't care because he lit up another cigarette after he finished the first one. I grabbed our infant and walked down the hall toward the exit and asked my partner to ask for the check. We couldn't even finish our meal. Since when is smoking allowed inside a restaurant? There are other reviews that mention the staff smokes inside the restaurant and that the place smells like smoke. Absolutely horrible and inconsiderate of the owner to do this in front of a baby. He probably wanted us to leave but he could've just asked us to do so instead of doing what he did. The food is good but the owner seems terrible, avoid this place especially if you have kids.

First-time guest. it was very good. Place is small and quaint. Food is very good. Only suggestion is for owner not to talk so long at your table. We go out to enjoy each other and the food. A greeting is good but lingering too long is not.

This is an interesting place, just kind of found it by googling Italian. You will feel like you are eating in someone's house. You will also feel like you are in an episode of sopranos. That can be a pro or con, you decide.Pros: Food was great! Wine was affordable for a bottleCons: mild smell of cigarette smoke

Me and my wife celebrated my 77th birthday tonight at Trattoria Toscana. I have always been critical of fake Italian restaurants like Olive Garden and Macaroni Grill. I wanted to eat authentic Italian Cuisine. Trattoria delivered. The Antipasto Misto for 2 set the stage. It had all of the classic Antipasto elements of meat, cheese, olives, anchovies, and tomatoes. It was better than I had hoped for (see photo)We skipped the pasta (primi) and went straight to the main course (Secondi) . The strip steak was cooked to perfection and potatoes, squash and sautéed spinach were excellent. My wife had the chicken Francese. She said that this was also excellent. We finished the meal off with the almond cake and cappuccino. The dessert was fantastic.This is a family run authentic Italian restaurant. If you have only eaten in chain restaurants you may have to remember that these people are serving you in what they feel is their home. It is a different experience. One that I am looking forward to repeating.

We had a wonderful time last night at Trattoria Toscana. The food was amazing and the service to our group of ten people was fantastic! Thank you, Claudia, Rudy, Chico and the other lady whose name i cant remember. We'll certainly be back.

Food is delicious, lots of daily specials so don’t just look at menu online. We ordered 2 of the specials for our meals, and were very happy we did! Staff is very friendly, feels like family ? and a very intimate atmosphere, can’t wait to go
