Tuscano Italian Kitchen

The service was excellent....the appetizer and one of the entrees were not as good as last visit...the PortaFino sauce was a little off....Over all, a very good dining experience

Great place for a date, Angie, our server is great, jack is very sweet and friendly, we'll be back.

We sat on the bar side, very comfortable booths. The ambiance and lighting was just right. Angie was a lovely server, took such good care of us. Management was walking around and helping, asking us how things were, its always a great feeling seeing managers be involved like this. The food was top notch, we could tell it was freshly made. I loved the Tuscan combo, chicken parm was my favorite. We will surely be returning!

Entrees were delicious. White chocolate bread pudding was lack luster and not what was expected

Would never go back. Ambiance was lacking. No music, sparse decor. Looked like a cheap church potluck. Complimentary bread for the table was white sandwich bread that was wet for some reason. Appetizer was stuffed dates, and it was actually ok. Sauce for the entrees tasted like they used pasta sauce out of a can from the supermarket. Staff was very nice. Prices were ok.

We tried Tuscano because our regular Italian restaurant was closed and their reviews were favorable. It is not a particularly comfortable atmosphere - bright dining room lights in a large room but we have enjoyed less fancy places so were not unhappy - just probably more family instead of date place. The waiter was quick to greet us and get our drinks but the service declined as we progressed through dinner - he was pleasant but not available as it looked like he would take care of one table, then go to the kitchen, one more table then back to the kitchen, etc. Not very efficient for 4 -5 tables spread throughout a dining room. The food, however, was the main reason we were there and the main reason for our less than stellar rating. We were served hot bread with our drinks while we looked over the menu - easily 5 stars! Hot, fresh, delicious and served with olive oil nicely with fresh minced garlic & spices. We ordered an appetizer of Burrata Caprese - delicious toasted bread and creamy burrata but the tomatoes were flavorless - probably just the luck of the draw with produce orders and fixed with salt and some extra balsamic - 5 stars! I ordered the meat lasagna - first bite was off flavor wise but I thought maybe since it was from the edge I should try again. Two more bites and I realized I just didn’t like it - seasonings were off or at least not to my liking. So much for thinking lasagna was safe anywhere! I actually would have sent it back or ordered something else had our waiter looked our direction before my husband was almost done with his meal. My husband ordered the Fettucini Laredo and enjoyed it - not too spicy and good mix of flavors - but was up sick all night from it (he believes). Although we will not be back, I highly recommend the Burrata Caprese with extra balsamic and salt for your meal - with the hot bread for the table! Delicious!

My sister and I received excellent service. From the smile of the man at the reception, to the cheerful waiter Jordan and the kind initiative of Carl. The food was wonderful, and there were many wine options.

First time, and the kids loved it as well as the us. Our server Jordan was absolutely great. Will definitely be back.

I believe my servers name was Tony, Absolutely legendary service. The man made both my date and I completely comfortable. He did not pressure us to order and he made it super easy when we were unsure about menu items. Tony was the best server I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. -Dallas R

I’ve been hard pressed to find good Italian food in and around Austin. Glad I found this place!

The food and service was very good. We had the veal picatta, summer pasta and zoodle pasta. All were tasty and we were all happy with our choices. The cheesecake with chocolate was delicious as well. The only thing to keep in mind is that the restaurant gets kind of noisy. Two in our party of 3 had hearing aids and found it somewhat difficult to carry on a conversation. Overall, we were happy with our meal and will be back.

Experience was good. Food was a little pricey for the amount that we received. I had summer pasta and expected more than 2 scallops and 2 shrimp for the price of the meal.
