About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
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.

    Food and Service is exceptionally good. However, unfortunately the prices have increased significantly. Be sure to ask the price for their special dishes.

    We come from up the road about 5 hours to visit thr city 2 or 3.times a year and have found it easier to stay in marin than the city. We never fail to eat at your restaurant when we are here, and we have never been disappointed.
