We recently had dinner here with a friend, had a tortellini with cheese sauce totally tasteless, and a linguini with calamari, both pasta and calamari highly overcooked. The only positive note was the homemade bread, really good. Too bad because the blandness of the dishes detracted from our experience, in a restaurant that whose name alone promised so much.

Dined here with a friend. We had the bruschetta as an appetizer; tasty and colorful. At his suggestion I tried the Chicken Vesuvio and found it to be well-plated and delicious. Excellent service as well.

I got a takeout order from Toscana. $45 - pasta and an appetizer. That’s very expensive, so at that price point I’m expecting high level quality, especially when doing take out. I would say the quality felt comparable to Olive Garden, except the breadsticks at Olive Garden are better in my opinion. My fettuccine was not as thick as I hoped and there was some liquid at the bottom of the container, and the garlic calamari tasted good but was sitting in a pool of juices at the bottom of the container and soggy. I would’ve been satisfied if this costed $20, but $45? No way. I’ll go to Olive Garden instead. More predictable experience there and lower cost.

Avoid carry out. Expensive and little value for an average meal, no soups or salads are included. $26for a rigatoni marinara with spinach and a side salad. Yes, that light sprinkle of spinach was an extra $5, lol that is not a garnish. There was also something crunchy in the pasta, like a burnt crisp and was unpleasant.Avoid their veggies and spaghetti cause it's always soupy.Vegetarian options: Meat options are cheaper, you'll pay a premium to eat here if you want to eat light.

We were ordering over DoorDash and had a few questions. Arland answered the phone and proceeded to go above and beyond!!Service at this level is uncommon. Kuddos to both Arland and this establishment for the retention of such quality!

Cute Italian place in a dying strip mall. Portions were huge, my dish was a little bland. Baked goat cheese was amazing. Family friendly.

Very consistent! Food is always good and so is the service. Weekends can get very busy so be patient. If you’re in a hurry go during the week!!

Great service, nice selection of food & drinks. I enjoyed the broccoli soup, as it was not super rich or creamy, great taste. Pear and Mango martinis were delicious! Friendly staff.

Food was outstanding. I had the lasagna. Service was just right. Attentive but not overly so. Ambience was perfect. Not too crowded for a Saturday lunch. I would go here again. Don't let the strip mall location put you off. Prices were good and ample servings.
