The food and service were excellent. If you're looking for a trendy restaurant, this is not it. But if you're looking for authentic Italian, you must try it. The shrimp and eggs was great and the service was just right. It feels a little cave-like inside so we opted for a meal on the street.

My friend and I had a delicious, lovely meal with spectacular service. No one rushed us and we simply enjoyed a great meal and caught up with each other’s family events ( my friend just met her fifth great grandchild—certainly an event worth a celebration.

Oscar was one of the best ever fantastic servers! The food was absolutely delicious, with the exception of the creme brulee, which was cold and watery. Definitely not enough to keep from going back and/or recommending Toscana!

My girlfriend and I came here for dinner on their patio after seeing a show. The service and food were excellent. She had the risotto and I had the fetuccini. We also had an excellent wine with dinner (although a bit overpriced). Overall I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Authentisches Essen. Nette Atmosphäre im nicht zu großen Ladenlokal. Tiefe Decken, dadurch sehr laut. Und leider verschwand unser Kellner nach 2/3 des Abends auf Nimmerwiedersehen… und das fing der Rest kaum auf. Schade!!

We have been here several times while visiting NY in the last few years and have found it to be consistently excellent. Our most recent visit was during the late afternoon on a Saturday, so we practically had the place to ourselves. But, even when it is busy, the service is attentive and efficient.

Good food, great service, reasonably priced wine list with good selection by the glass. But the small space gets very loud when the restaurant is full. It was difficult to have a conversation. And there is only a one-person restroom, so you could have a long wait.

This place is expensive. I cannot think of a worse Italian dining experience. The chicken liver pate came out hot and looking like chunky cat food. The duck ragu with beet gnocci had zero flavor. I would not eat there again.
