    My entre was not good at all. Scallops and risotto with peas etc., Unfortunately the risotto was "floating" is a sea of oil and the scallops were over cooked. Other members of the party (2) were pleased with their meals. We had a "rookie" server who needed a few suggestions now and then , but very pleasant.

    Absolutely wonderful! My husband is from a small town about two hours from Milan and said that the bolognese was the best he’s ever had outside of Italy and that even though the Milano cutlet is traditionally veal it was spot on. I very much appreciated that it was NOT veal because I probably wouldn’t have picked the restaurant if it was tbh! Fresh calamari, not chewy at all and the octopus with couscous app was perfect! My compliments to both the chef and the cocktail engineer! 🤌 😚

    The service from Jamie, who seated us was outstanding, as was Mia the server… extremely attentive, both of them… the food was excellent… they make the best octopus! Avocado toast was a little soggy, but the hummus bowl made up for it… it was perfect… and the pumpkin cake was delicious… perfect way to end the meal!

    Seated right away for our reservations. Took a little while to have drink order and waitress asked us for our dinner order same time. Looking forward to a relaxing dinner but we felt rushed mid-way through. Drinks delivered quickly and dinner was 10 min after. Dinner (lamb-chop special and salmon dinner were both very good! Mid-way through dinner the waitress asked if we were going to get dessert. We were a bit surprised being asked so soon but we replied “no.” When I had finished my dinner, but my husband was only half-way through when our check arrived. Our waitress (Kelsey) could have at least waited until we were both finished eating. For our first time ever coming to this restaurant we were very happy with the food but being rushed out, not sure we would return. We were in and out in 40 min!!

    We had a wonderful evening at Toscana. The food was wonderful. We ordered soup, shared the avocado appetizer, 3 different pastas, the pork chop, and desserts. Two of the entrees were specials. Every dish was wonderful, freshly prepared, and served piping hot. Our server (Rachel?)was a delight, she remembered our orders, checked back with us at appropriate times, and was available when we needed her. The atmosphere at Toscana is so comfortable, everyone makes you feel welcome.

    It's been sometime since we've been to Toscana. So , this past Saturday my wife and I revisited. We were not disappointed, from our waiter Doug R. to getting a chance to talk with Dan Butler our visit was great. The food was awesome from the appetizer to dessert, to after dinner Frangelica, it was a great experience. We will be back for another "date night". Bravo Dan!

    I had a very enjoyable evening at Tuscano. The food was excellent, and so was the service. Our waiter Doug provided excellent service. He was both helpful and charming. He was very attentive and never intrusive. I had the swordfish which was prepared to perfection. The kitchen accommodated us with a half portion of pasta for the first plate. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Always always love this place. Took out visiting friends there. They were raving too. We were there early and end of summer so not as busy as usual. Nice and quiet. We had a darling girl who’s name escapes me, but she was lovely, friendly and very efficient. Everything is always perfect there. We had special pasta, short ribs, lamb shanks and a vegetarian pasta. All great!

    Never had a bad meal here, and this one did not disappoint. Lovely menu at reasonable prices (for 2023, anyway). Even though our server was covering a few more tables than she might usually (may have been a tad understaffed on a Tuesday night) she was thoroughly pleasant and suitably attentive.

    Having dined here before I know the food is consistently good, as is the service. This time, however, I was very disappointed that we were not informed before we were seated that their AC was not working! This happened on a day when the outside temperatures were over 90°. We were only informed of the broken AC when we asked if they could make it cooler. If we had known, we would’ve gone to another restaurant. It was very hot inside and I could not wait to leave.  I will definitely think twice before opting to dine there in future.

    Although I’m a longtime patron of Piccolina Toscana, this is the first time I’ve dined on the patio with a pergola. It was wonderful. The menu selection is varied, with some of Toscana’s tried and true dishes and some new ones. Our party of four enjoyed four different entree salads and each one was fabulous. Highly recommend this “new” lunch place.

    Very disappointed after reading so many good (now questionable) reviews. Let's start with the CESARE SALAD, drowning in dressing, the lettuce had "no" texture and the dressing zero flavor! Next the POLPO, grilled octopus salad, although the few pieces of octopus in this serving were good, they were hidden by the mound of cous cous and roasted vegetables, certainly not worth $15. 2 of my party of 6 ordered the Mezze Rigate Alla Brasata. Both found that there was more fat in the dish than short rib meat and along with the pasta the dish was drowned in a tasteless mushroom cream sauce. Another 2 in my party ordered the Fetuccine Alla Bolognese, in both cases the dishes arrived luke warm to cold, and unlike the Rigate dish, each had minimal bolognese sauce. One guest ordered the swordfish, again, the tempature was off as well a the fish portion in relation to the other non stars of this dish. Lastly, I ordered the lamb shank, it was without question the best dish served to our group. The lamb fell off the bone and was cooked perfectly. However the accompanying butternut squash risotto was flat, missing salt, pepper and many other necessary spices. Based on our experience we will not be booking a return visit. I hope others find this post helpful when looking for places in this part of Delaware.
