I came here for Saturday lunch and everything was amazing. I tried one of the pizzas 10 out of 10. The Buratta with prosciutto amazing and lobster ravioli. Every bite tasted authentic. All fresh ingredients!

Don't know if they had an off night or what. We got take-out via Grubhub, and they forgot one of the entrees. Mine tasted ok, but an hour later I was violently sick. So...done with this place.

Today was our first time ordering from Tuscan Hills and the food was very bland and disappointing. We ordered the Spaghetti Cacio E Pepe and Penne Alla Vodka which was not flavorful and definitely not worth the money. The spaghetti tasted like it was just boiled and then sprinkled with black pepper. The penne was tasteless. Don't waste your money here.

I really was looking forward going to this place and as much as I was looking forward to going I was as much soooo disappointed. On a good note the service was excellent. As far as the food I would say a total disappointment. We had a cross-section of food from poultry to pasta to seafood and salad. I feel like this is a good representation of their food to give a review. I've had better Italian food from an Italian takeout place seriously. I do have to say the fettuccine is probably the worst everrrrrrr, it was gummy overly thick and just horrendous. In good conscience I had to specifically call out the fettuccine it. As far as the salad goes for that price it was definitely a side order size like the ones you get when you order a meal not separate the lemon dressing I'm still puttering from, it was down right straight out lemon juice with gonzola cheese which was about a tablespoon at best. Yes, food will always be subjective give it a try if you agree with me I did warn you and if you like it I'm glad you enjoyed. I would never never go back.

Consistently outstanding service and food. Authentic Italian ambience. Chef Roberto is one my top 3 chefs in the world, and creates the most delicious, and phenomenal dishes I've had, including, but not limited to, Gamberi alla Toscanaccia, Fior Di Zucca, Burratta, Tagliata di Manzo, Chicken Parm, and Ortolana di Vitello. The dessert and drinks are also amazing! No Italian restaurant in NY can top this place!

Very good quality food. Skirt steak - French Fries - Pasta dishes and Brunch are all good. Owner and staff are all nice. Also delicious zucchini flowers are to die for.

We decided to grab some Italian in one of the nicest sections in Queens, Forest Hills. It was very busy when we arrived however, they seated us within 10 minutes. Service was attentive, food was very good, and drinks were good as well. When we are in this section of town we will come back. Do yourself a favor and give it a try.

Out of the itailian spots in forest hills, I would say Il Poeta and Tuscan are the better ones. The food is pretty decent and the aesthetics of the place is not bad. The owners seem OK and the prices are reasonable. I just wish the staff smiled a bit more and would do a better job of making ALL their returning customers feel welcomed. I use to go more often but after a while I just felt unwelcomed by the older Latino waiter and the younger female waitress. They are cordial but don’t really make attempts to connect with you or are selective on who they connect with. I don’t have this problem at any of the other restaurants that are happy to take my money. In general, from all levels of the wait staff to the busboy, they just seem unhappy here versus Il poeta where they at least don’t seem unhappy and the vibe is more relaxed in my opinion. Making effort to remember returning customers names, remembering small details or asking them about themselves goes a long way.

My go-to Italian restaurant in the neighborhood. I love their pistachio martini(smooth&creamy) & tiramisu(moist). My friend and I would always get the seafood soup dish wrapped in side a piece of bread, called Cacciucco. It feels very light and healthy! And the taste is so good. You can choose portion for 1 or 2 people.

This was our third time coming here. We made reservations for 6pm and were running late. I called and they said no problem at all. We arrived 15-20 minutes late and they held our table. We order a bottle of wine, fried mozzarella, eggplant parmigiana, and the cheese pasta. The wine was amazing as well as the fried mozzarella. The cheese pasta was really good. It had pear inside of the pasta with peas and prosciutto in a cream sauce. We had dessert, coffee, and an after dinner drink. The price was right, the service was great, and considering it was a Saturday night they didn't chase us out. Overall I enjoyed the place. Street parking can be a little rough. We will be back.

Food was amazing. Service was amazing. But the way this entire pizza was packed to go is actually disrespectful. We only ate one slice and the entire gorgeous pizza was packaged ON TOP OF EACH OTHER IN THE CONTAINER. So now it's all stuck together.
