• Italian • San Rafael
Booked 28 times today
We are centrally located off Hwy. 101 in San Rafael, across for the famous Frank Lloyd Wright Marin Civic Center. La Toscana is a family owned and operated Italian restaurant and bar located in Marin County. It was established in 1985 by Paolo Mori, his wife, Marilyn, and Michele Quilici. The owners all grew up in Lucca, Italy and immigrated to the U.S. in the late 1950s. They wanted to create an atmosphere that reminded them of home – a place where locals would gather to eat, meet friends and family and celebrate with food and wine as every Italian family does. Chef and co— owner Giovanni Racanello joined La Toscana in 1986. Paolo and Marilyn’s daughter, Laura Mori Riella, and youngest son, Michael Mori, joined the La Toscana team in 1992 and 2002, respectively. Paolo loved to make people feel welcome and, just like all the Moris, enjoyed his food and wine and loved to see others do the same. This is the proud tradition that La Toscana carries on.

    The Left Bank is a neighborhood and county gem! Although there are always more than one tempting items to choose from along with daily specials, I do love when they have duck breast on the menu. I appreciate their wine list but also having the option of a somewhat reasonable corkage fee.

    like all restaurants today prices are elevated, and I'm sure they'll never go back down. unfortunately, I will eat out a lot less. To spend over $120 for 2 people for just an entree, 1 drink and no dessert seems like a lot. I'm not criticizing La Toscana, it's everywhere, but instead of a common occurrence going out to eat is now a special occasion which this was. Sad.

    First time visit to this location in San Rafael and we had a party of 6. The salads and the 4 pizzas that we shared were all outstanding. The pizzas were some of the best we've had dining out! The only issue was the wait time for service at the table. There were only two servers available to wait on the whole restaurant that was near capacity. The servers both were attentive when they were with us, I think that they were just overwhelmed with the number of diners. It is a new restaurant in this location and I would attribute the long wait times to "growing pains". We will all definitely be back as the food was outstanding!
