Wonderful. Everything. Food, service, and atmosphere, I could not have asked for anything more. Everyone in my party was impressed, and we couldn't stop talking about it on the way home.Parking: 2 blocks down, on the right.

My wife and I split the Caprese salad as an appetizer. The mozzarella was rockhard and the tomatoes looked terrible. She liked her gnocchi with shrimp special very much but my flounder was drowned in tomato sauce. The service was excellent.

We went here for a special family event after reading great reviews. The cocktails and service were great. But the food was underwhelming. Three chicken dishes all tasted like the chicken was old and reheated then topped with whatever sauce etc. The pasta portions were small, only 4 ravioli in an entree. One entree modification was requested but the food did not come as ordered. It wasn't necessarily bad but not what we expected and definitely not worth the cost.Kid-friendliness: There is no kids menu. They offered to make plain pasta and sauce etc but my child's adult portion and price entree was not made as promised. We did not ask for it to be remade because of time restrictions.

We arrived on time & were seated. The restaurant became extremely busy & noisy. The layout for tables was not conducive to a relaxed dining experience. Tables were arranged in a way in which people were back to back. The person at the table next to ours had to push his chair into my back to get out. Food was so-so. We ordered dessert & waited about 20 mins for a piece of carrot cake. No one stopped by our table to see how our meal was going. After another delay we finally got our check. Had to use their rest room on the way out, & it was very difficult to wend my way between waiters with trays & diners at other tables. We've dined there in the past & seating arrangements were much more comfortable. It was hard to hear each other with conversations other diners were having at full volume in front, in back & to the side of us. Perhaps more thought should be given to comfort level during dining.

The options were plentiful, and the and food was outstanding! Not being familiar with the area, we were unsure where to park, we took a few trips around the block first. All was well, we figured it out. The atmosphere was nice. Again, the food quality what will bring us back. Very, very good!

Always a good experience at Toscana. Some difficulty with our very pleasant waitress who did not seem to understand our language very well but after a few repeats & rechecks by manager & bartender all orders were completed correctly

We Walked in and the place was beautiful, it was our first time. The martinis were fantastic and the service was terrific. The food on the other hand was bland and not hi quality ingredients such as the preschutto was of the lowest quality in my husband’s chicken dish, the minestrone was beautiful to look at but absolutely no flavor and my chicken francais was watery and bland no depth at all to the sauce , last but not least my meatball appetizer was burnt and the meatballs were like rocks. So sad I had such high hopes.

We were celebrating our daughter getting married having good times and laughter. Please let me remind we are 60 and 70 year olds and never experienced such rudeness in our life’s the waiter turned around and asked us to be quite so if you are looking for laughs and a good time I definitely do Not recommend this place very uptight people!!! The owner was fine serving us and taking our money but then was very rude to us. God forbid you laugh and have a good time didn’t realize you weren’t aloud to laugh and enjoy your company!! We will never ever return here! We will spend our hard earned money somewhere there is a good atmosphere and this definitely was not there place. Strongly do not recommend!!! Poor management!

2/7/24 This is the 2nd visit here recently. I came with a party of 2 and a group of 7. Both times the food and service were spot on! Everything was delicious, the service was very attentive and the place was clean! This staff is so much better than what was here over a year ago. That crew was Rock bottom! What a difference a little hustle and hot food can make! Thank you.

We made a reservation for 3 at 630. When we arrived every table was taken. The host approached us, confirmed our reservation and never returned. Very shortly after this the entire placed emptied, leaving us as literally the only table. We were seated. It took over 20 minutes for us to even get a drink order taken which only happened because we asked if there was anyone that was going to be our server. Our drinks finally came and shortly after our meals. Nobody ever came back to check on us and we again had to ask for more water and drinks. The food was ok. I had the salmon which was good, but my vegetables were bland and very under-seasoned. My boyfriend ordered the gnocchi, which he was excited for, but very disappointed in. Bland, and the shrimp were sad and overcooked. The linguine with white clam sauce was good. We were all sadly disappointed in our experience.
