• Italian • San Rafael
Booked 13 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.

    When my wife and I go out in the evening to eat we think of a dining experience rather than a bite to eat or dinner. We enjoy dishes we do not make at home and enjoy a chef's talents, or lack of. I would say Valenti & Co. performed excellently. We shared a ceasar salad. Fresh and crisp. Then we shared carpaccio of grass fed beef. quality beef plated beautifully. For the main course we chose the pan roasted duck breast. Tough dish to properly pull off but I would rate the medium/year an A+. We had them select both a white and red wine by the glass and the choices were spot on.

    My husband and I love Marche. The food, service and ambiance are always 10/10. We went last night and were able to get a reservation at 6:15 on their outdoor patio. They start the meal with delicious bread for the table. We shared a salad and then got the orecheitti and trout on a bed of seasonal trout and finished with an ice cream sundae. Everything was amazing. Such a special, charming place with consistently great food!
