The food is absolutely AMAZING. I would definitely recommend to anyone to give this place a try. I've lived in the area my whole life and are just now giving this place a try and I'm mad I didn't years ago. Don't let the one off bad experiences some people might have had stop you from having an amazing meal.

This restaurant has not been good for several years now, but tonight the food and service was excellent. I ordered the special, which was a pesto dish with sundried tomatoes and it was excellent. The menu states to give them time because all of there sauces are made to order which seems odd since a Bolognese takes several hours and a pesto takes minutes, but never the less, even though it took forty minutes for my pesto pasta, it was well worth the wait.

This charming Italian restaurant is well worth the trip to Newport News. I would highly recommend trying the Vitello Alla Parmigiana or Saltimbocca Alla Romana if you like Veal.

Ever since this restaurant changed owners, the quality has gone down. The food was okay and the portions are large for the price. But, the restaurant felt grungy and the waitstaff left much to be desired. Last night, one of the waitresses was standing in the kitchen doorway, where the drinks are located, picking wax from her ear with an ear wax tool (I guess) and wiping it on a paper towel, she proceeded to wait tables without washing her hands after. I couldn’t eat the rest of my food after watching that. If the waitstaff is okay doing that in a semi-visible part of the restaurant it made me wonder what the back kitchen looks like.

I decided to write a review to prevent anyone from having the same experience I did. I went here on valentines day, to start off we could not even enter the restaurant because they have a hallway sized waiting area for 10+ guests waiting. Then we find out they lost one of their reservation books even though we reserved 4 days earlier. The very very rude "server" if you can even call her that, completely ignored me and the person i was with even though we had been waiting there for 45 mins. Our reservation was for 6:30 and it was 7:15. We left without eating after the rude server/"host" told us she would seat another couple who got there five mins ago and that we would have to continue waiting. Don't waste your time here. Im 100% sure if I was white the we would have gotten served like all the other couples who were.

On January 19th a large group of family and friends went to Tuscany in Newport News to celebrate the life of my wife following her funeral that afternoon. The food was excellent, the service was OK. There was only one server for 27 people and she was struggling to keep up. This was surprising since the restaurant was only 25% occupied. I had paid a $100.00 deposit a week prior to reserve the room. When the bill came of nearly $1000.00 and I asked the server why the $100.00 deposit hadn’t been subtracted from the bill. She left to get the manager. A few minutes later the manager arrived. Now anyone who knew anything about customer service would have taken me aside and explained that the $100.00 was actually a fee to reserved the room. However, that isn’t how business is conducted at the Tuscany restaurant. Instead, she in a loud voice yells “I told you when you booked it the $100.00 is a fee to reserve the room.” Its been a long time since I was treated like of 5 year old by a business that claims to be “customer oriented.” Considering I had just finished burying my wife I chose to not stoop to her level. I merely paid the bill and I was tempted to deduct the $100.00 from the tip but I didn’t want to punish the poor server. I won’t be returning to Tuscany nor would I recommend anyone else use the restaurant until it has a change in management.
Went here to eat. The restaurant was empty, several clean tables available, yet the hostess would not seat us for at least 15 minutes because she felt it was more important that she bus ask of the dirty tables than it was to take care of paying customers.

This was the second time I’ve eaten here, the first being delivery and it was great. I brought my visiting mother in for our holiday dinner this evening, and although the waitress input my order correctly, the kitchen made and served the wrong dish. When I brought it up to the waitress, she didn’t seem assertive enough to correct the mistake, instead just asking if I wanted her to let the chef know. We were very polite about it, and told her to let them know for future reference. We weren’t given an apology except at the end as we were leaving, and not that we were expecting it, but we were still charged the full price for the wrong meal and not offered any sort of compensation. I know it shouldn’t be expected, but for the price you pay, it would have been a nice gesture as I didn’t even finish my dinner because it was not what I ordered. All she said was that she had input the correct dish, which she had and it was not her fault. But she even admitted that the dish I was served was not what I had ordered.
Food is always great.
