I've eaten at Kuna Blus several times. Last night I tried the Branzino, and it was terrific! My friends also had seafood and loved it. My complaint: The wine list had loads of wines, mostly horribly expensive. Many hundreds of dollars per bottle. We found one wine for $71.00 and ordered it. None of us liked it. Luna Blue should add a variety of wines, domestic and foreign, in the $50 to $100 a bottle range. We weren't prepared to spend up to $700 for a bottle of wine. But the food was wonderful.

San Rafael

About the restaurant

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.

we went to celebrate my girlfriend’s bday and it was the perfect choice. i got the rigatoni bolognese and she got the chicken marsala and both were excellent dishes to say the least. the restaurant was very nice with great views of the water and the service was amazing. the only complaint i would have is that the tiramisu was a little heavy on the alcohol, but overall a wonderful experience!
