    Toscano is a superb restaurant on all counts: food, service, managers, atmosphere. I prefer it to all the famous North End restaurants. Their pastas, meats, fish are all excellent.

    We had a lovely time at Toscana. The food was excellent from the homemade rolls to the dessert. We both had pasta dishes and they were inventive and tasty. The service was impeccable and the ambiance relaxed but elegant. Cannot wait to go back when we are next in Boston.

    Toscano was delightfully incredible, start to finish. I was warmly greeted into the restaurant and seated promptly. Both hosts were very kind, as was the rest of the service team. I visited on a Sunday evening for a solo dinner, to celebrate the release of my poetry book. I enjoyed a smooth glass of white wine, paired with three courses, as guided by the waitress. I began with the Minestrone di Verdura, which exceeded my expectations — with fresh, homemade bread on the table. For my entree, I enjoyed the Gnocchi Checca (tomato, mozzarella, basil). This dish was prepared in true, authentic style — there was certainly craft & passion involved. To finish the meal, the Panna Cotta (vanilla bean, berries, strawberry jam) sealed the deal! This was the BEST Panna Cotta that I have ever met — do not miss this opportunity. Toscano was a fantastic addition for my date with this charming corner of Boston, Beacon Hill. . If you love Italian tradition with service that promises passion and dedication, Toscano is a must.

    We had an occasion to celebrate so we chose Toscano. We dine at Toscano several times a year. The food is consistently delicious and the service exquisite. We are always very pleased with your dining experience there.

    Normally Julie and I dine with it being just the two of us, this time we had guests so our choices were different as with our needs. With this being our friend’s first trip to Toscano we tried to explain all the wonderful option including where it was lunch, they could order a smaller portion of pasta dishes. Something we didn't think about is that each of our guests had special needs. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that these needs were not just taken in stride but they explained the process to ensure their safety and requirements were met. Our server Roberto was amazing. He expanded on my thoughts (without having heard me discuss their menu) and made suggestions. When we ordered and finished with our friends both completely cleaning plates. We each split a dessert which they loved. We had ordered our favorite wine (white), but one person preferred red so Amy found something that went with everything that was ordered; service never seems to stop at Toscano. This was a special meal as our friends are getting married and lunch was the precursor to some shopping. Everything was perfect and our friends are already looking forward to meeting us in Boston for Toscano again...so are we. Thank you, Bill & Julie
