About Cafe Toscana

Cafe Toscana offers a mixed dining experience. While some dishes, like the Chicken Francesca, have received praise for their taste, others have been deemed so-so. The service has been commended, with servers providing excellent attention. The atmosphere is also a highlight, making it a pleasant spot to dine. However, a credit card surcharge applies.

The food is very good, with nice presentation, and the service is excellent. Customers note that the bread could be better, as it is described as "plebeian" and "typical commercial white bread." Many suggest finding a more authentic Italian source, such as Sullivan St. Bakery in NYC. Besides the bread, everything else is delicious and top-notch. The restaurant is a cozy place, perfect for a date night, with delicious drinks like the Caramel Apple. Portions are generous, with the Chicken Parmesan and Shrimp Scampi being particularly praised.

Recent reviews mention that the restaurant can get busy, so reservations are recommended. The staff handles large groups well, managing different requests for drinks, appetizers, and entrees efficiently. Dishes like Egg Plant Rollatini, Seafood Risotto, and Lobster Ravioli are described as delicious, served hot, and of high quality. However, not all dishes are perfect; the Beef Stroganoff special was dry and lacked flavor. Desserts are enjoyed, and many customers have never been disappointed with their meals at Cafe Toscana. Overall, it remains a highly recommended place for a fine Italian meal, with an atmosphere and service that match the quality of the food.
