“Hubby wanted to try something different so we decided to explore beyond our Burien bubble. This place is a gem. We shared the pear and gorgonzola salad. They split it to two plates which was nice. We also had the Pompeii but added sausage. The sausage is delicious.I saved room for dessert and we had the Nutella calazone. If you love Nutella as I do, well worth the calories. It is so good. Save room.Service was great. As said, a gem in Des Moines.“

“Tuscany is a real treat! A classic venue that is full of mid-century charm. The food is all solid, tasty Americana diner fare but with a lot of homemade baked goods. We came the day before St. Patrick's and they had fresh (still warm!) soda bread. Their regular assortment of breads includes grab-and-go loaves of walnut banana bread baked to perfection.All-star service, good food, and baked goods to go? A real classic!“

“Wow. This place is absolutely wonderful from the service to the food and the ambiance. All staff were absolutely amazing. They were welcoming and attentive at all times. The Cesar salad was refreshing with a touch of lemon and served with complimentary toasted bread. The butter made in house was smooth and creamy with herbs. For the main course we ordered the Tortellini con Piselli and the Lobster Ravioli. The waiter informed us that the Lobster Ravioli is a seasonal special so we were glad to be able to try it. If you love lobster then I think it’s a must try! We were way too stuffed to try dessert but I’ve heard great things about them. Apparently they’re made in house! I can’t wait to try the dessert on my next visit.“

“Very short staffed due to a family emergency. We waited one hour for our first cocktail. I felt sorry for them. The food was very good but it took so long for everything. The waitress kept apologizing but once she told us there was a family emergency then we knew what was causing all of the delays.  My only complaint about the food is at the menu said the item came with rice, but instead it came with a large amount of pasta, and I am gluten intolerant, and they don't serve gluten-free pasta. Otherwise, I would not have ordered it. The salmon was excellent.“

“I have been here four or five times now, it’s always a good experience overall. Great drinks, some amazing food and awesome desserts. It doesn’t get boisterously loud inside either which I really appreciate. Only took one star off because their food is sometimes not always the same level of excellence. There’s usually one or two items per meal at my table that someone just doesn’t care for. The risotto specifically has been very hit or miss, sometimes way too salty or with way too much cheese in it. But if you know the menu well there are some star items that are always good. The beef carpaccio is a long standing favorite, and I got the egg custard over peach sorbet for dessert last time I went and it was amazing, I almost licked the dish clean.“

They only have delivery and pick up. Anyhow, omg! The pizza, the bread! So fresh, so tasty. I'm always on the hunt for amazing pizza and Italian food. My wife and I were blown away.Today, as of this review, we ate there again. I had the Quatro Formaggio with meat sauce, and my wife had the Gnocchi Gorgonzola. Again, ate it a couple blocks away. Outstanding! And super hot and fresh heh. The Quatro is a baked 4 cheese spaghetti. So good. My wife said the Gnocchi was delicious. If your in Burien or gonna pass by, you should try this place! We live in Covington and drove back again to eat this food. And we will continue to!“

“My family has 5 generations that have eaten at this restaurant. Everyone is always very kind and patient. They always have the same menu but have specials. Usually, 10 or so items on it are often seasonal. Salad with Roquefort dressing and no limit buttery bread with your meal is amazing. You can reserve 2 dining areas, sit in the main area or bar. Sometimes, the food needs a little seasoning, but I imagine that may be due to the older crowd that often eats there. The open kitchen gives a sort of welcoming atmosphere that a lot of restaurants don't have anymore. Please go and try.“

Marianna is home to the best calamari I’ve ever had, and I work in the travel industry for a living… *chef’s kiss*. The pastas are fresh, the sauces are authentic… try the gnocchi gorgonzola! Less than $30 for an appetizer, entree, and cocktail? Exceptional value!If David offers to make you a drink, and be prepared for a laugh… Trust whatever this gregarious man recommends.The restaurant venue itself may look like an Italian pub, with some interesting decor choices… Believe me when I say, it’s clear the food, the service, the overall experience… You will NOT leave disappointed.“

“Vince's Italian food was okay. The staff was very friendly, myself I prefer a little more spice in my Italian food, I couldn't get what I wanted so I had Italian meatballs and spaghetti. What I really wanted was a seafood fettuccine as they had shrimp fettuccine, so I asked the staff if they could add other types of seafood they had on the menu to my fettuccine and I will pay the increase in price, but I was told that was against Vince's policy. The atmosphere was very nice, but I probably won't go back the last time I was in one of the Vince's restaurants was over 30 years ago. And I can cook very well myself it's just nice sometimes when somebody else does the cooking but if I'm paying for it I would like to get what I want.“

We opened the meals after I got home and all 3 were cold. After re-heating them they were really good. The only complaint we had was the mushrooms didn't really ever leave that sort of brick appearance? that and that they need to give a little bit more time between getting a salad and getting the main course of the meal brought out. We had just sat down from getting our salads when our entree Was brought out“

The ingredient mix was great but I wish they’d out a few extra slices of pepperoni. Service is ok, though they kept reopening pizzas to check what order they were for - something they could improve on. The place has no own seating area so one must find a table in the public food court. I’ll try their calzone pizza next time.“
