First timer but certainly the last ! The service was friendly and efficient and the food was excellent! This restaurant is a very good place to visit if you are attending an event at the Cabot , a special occasion or just for the pleasure of it.

Our late lunch experience at Toscana was excellent. We were warmly welcomed and seated immediately. The server was very polite and attentive. The food was superior as usual - fresh, light and flavorful, including the garlic and oil dipping sauce and rolls. We like to share 3-4 appetizers and a crispy- crusted pizza. And the prices are reasonable!
What a wonderful restaurant. Bartender was extremely knowledgeable and making fantastic. Suggestions for a bourbon Manhattan. He also directed us to wonderful appetizers on the menu. Our hostess greeted us with a smile and welcome back to the restaurant. Great place to go for dinner, date or appetizers and drinks. I look forward to coming back soon.

Our first visit tonight. On the phone, the host was engaging and funny. When we got there, he remembered that we were new to town. Then EVERYONE welcomed us to Beverly.Our waiter (I forget name, but Irish), was attentive and talented.The sign of great management: every single person working hard and helping each other.The food was the best Italian that I have had in years.I’m going to love living in Beverly again.Four years later. Toscana continues to be a great restaurant. Great menu, scratch made food, great wine selection.And always great help.We had Nadeen tonight. A true professional who handled multiple tables efficiently. She had excellent knowledge of recipes and the wines.We were impressed enough to ask her background: six months here, but six years experience in the North End. Management here has to be pretty good to attract and keep someone like her.Great job.

Fantastic - we have been once before. The food, service, drinks, and dessert all perfect! Looking forward to returning! Thank you for a perfect dining experience! You made our evening!
Food was excellent, ordered the scallop risotto. Sweetest scallops, excellent risotto cooked perfectly. Calamari light and tender Shrimp Diablo spicy but delicious the way it should be. Service was outstanding! Definitely will be back to try other dishes.

I would have given 5*'s as 2 out of 3 of our meals were divine. However, my significant others kona steak was ordered med rare came almost well done. We sent back, 2nd steak came out and more than 40% was gristle and inedible. They did make it right and removed it from the bill but we were an hr and a half from home so he went hungry. Definitely a mood changer for the afternoon. Another bit of a disappointment was the tiramisu it was Americanized with chocolate syrup and instead of cocoa powder on top it had what seemed like nesquik. It was a good dessert but not a traditional tiramisu. Another observation the staff was quite busy socializing amongst themselves and we got overlooked for quite awhile when we had the issue with our meal. It took us a good 10+ mins to get anyone's attention. I would have understood if it was busy but there were three tables occupied including ourselves and one couple seated at the bar. It could have been amazing but they should not be serving steak they're simply not a steak house. They seem to excel at their pasta dishes and should really stick to them. Drinks were great and the pasta meals were divine.

Excellent holiday meal with my mom celebrating Easter. Jackie was a gracious bartender, we sat at the bar, and the food was phenomenal! We loved our arugula salad, shrimp fra diavalo and gnocchi fra diavalo. Dessert was cannolis. We are never disappointed and today we felt very welcomed and taken care of. Thank you to our Toscanas family and hosts!

I came out with a friend for her birthday. We had the best service I’ve ever had going out! Our server Fabiola was very attentive, accommodating and personable. I truly had the most wonderful experience. Cheers!
I like this place and it’s close to my house but unfortunately I’m probably not gonna get it anymore because of the people who work here. There’s an older lady who is really nice when you get takeout but tonight I got DoorDash and I called them initially to ask them to include bread and oil because sometimes they forget to put the oil in and when my order came, there was no bread or oil which is unusual so my fiance called and they basically accused him of lying because they said that they always add it, so it HAS to be in the bag which it wasn’t. We got fettuccine Alfredo, and that was the one and only thing in the bag. It’s just not good customer service. My fiancé did an additional order on DoorDash and spent extra money just to get this bread, so why would we do that if we’re lying? We didn’t ask for anything for free he just called again and said hi I placed another order on DoorDash last time there was no bread. Do you think you could add it this time. To basically accuse him of lying was completely unexpected. moral of the story there are nice people who work here but some of the people are just snobby and don’t know how to talk to customers.

First time here and everything was perfect! Sat at a high top for 2 in the bar area where Fabiola greeted us promptly. She was fabulous throughout our entire time there. I had Risotto Fresca and my husband had the steak tips. We also shared the bruschetta. Everything was delicious! We've been to the Peabody Toscana numerous times and I enjoyed the smaller and cozy ambiance of the Beverly location! We will definitely be back!
I got the Shrimp FraDivolo & my wife got the Chicken Parm. Not a huge wine selection but what they have is good. Fusili made in house was very good. Both meals were delicious! Our server was attentive, engaging, and professional.

We arrived at this quaint, fully occupied, restaurant and greeted by a pleasant hostess who seated us right away. The introductory bread and roasted garlic olive oil was incredible. We followed it with the meatball appetizer which was also delicious. My wife got the fusilli and sausage which was great and far more than she could finish. I had the salmon with a lime cream sauce that I could eat on a daily basis. Overall, we can't wait to return.
