    We have dined at Toscano for many years and it is the restaurant of choice where we take our out-of-town friends. Our most recent dinner with visiting friends on Labor Day was excellent as usual with wonderful service from Eric who provided several recommendations which we appreciated. During the last few years many Boston restaurants have changed or gone out of business which has been disappointing. It is reassuring that Toscano remains and stays the course!

    An excellent restaurant in every way. Unfortunately, reservations made using Open Table are limited. I quizzed management asking why Open Table could not make a reservation at 5:00 PM and indicated the latest availability was 4:30. I walked into an empty restaurant with only a few seated tables and was disappointed because we had to change our plans. I was told to call the restaurant directly the next time.

    It's been a while since we had a such a snappy, at times almost acting angry server. Not sure whether he had too many tables to take care of or had a bad day... The food was Ok. Great location.

    I was very much looking forward to my return and Toscano's White Bolognese and it did not disappoint. My Boulevardier was perfect and we four split apps of the meatballs (conveniently four and golf ball sized) the beef carpaccio with truffled oil (for a very reasonable price) and our server Erick (wonderful and knowledgable) recommended the chickpea app as well. Besides my bolognese, there were these delish soft-shelled crabs (in season, August). The bottle of Nebbiolo was the perfect accompaniment.The 2pm reservation allowed the meal to serve as lunch and dinner and the restaurant was just perfect.

    Went with 2 friends. Honestly shocked at how poor to mediocre the food was after all the reviews. Had the lemon sole with arugula- over-breaded, under-seasoned, and the arugula was a pile of uncooked baby arugula with a lemon wedge on top. Should we have been suspicious when the food was out so quickly? None of us liked our meal. Cocktails underwhelming, but it's a wine bar I suppose. The staff was very gracious and prompt.

    Never had a bad meal at Toscano. Servers are perfectly attentive and make wonderful suggestions. The other staff are friendly as well. The facility is gorgeous with wide planked wood floors and exposed brick walls. They serve the most delicious filet and mashed potatoes ever. However my favorite is the pasta with white sauce...YUMMY!
