Toscana Bar Italiano

If you want an amazing meal, delicious drinks, and amazing service, you need to eat here. I think this is one of the best meals I've ever had. Every dish was shockingly amazing. The ambiance was very inviting. The music was a rat pack mix which made it even more fun. Our server Jackie was the cherry on top of our evening. She was a rockstar who made each one of our drinks and had excellent recommendations. She went above and beyond to make our experience the best ever. 10/10 would recommend! Also street parking was easy but there is a parking garage right next door.

Toscana is our go-to restaurant in Beverly, always pleasing in every way. We arrived on a very busy and crowded Thursday and were seated exactly at the moment of the reservation. Despite the crowded bar and the many take-out orders, our server Shannon W was efficient, friendly, and fully attentive to us. We had mentioned that we wanted a leisurely dinner and that we did not want to be rushed, and Shannon made sure that we had time between apps, main course, and dessert. The place was active, but we were able to have a quiet conversation throughout the meal. In all, we had 2 hours of dining pleasure, and in large part, it was the attentiveness of Shannon that made it fun and relaxing. Now to the FOOD, which has always been the main attraction of Toscana; I have never left Toscana without feeling that the food was excellent. We shared a bottle of 14 Hands Cabernet, a fine selection and priced reasonably. In addition to the complimentary rolls and olive oil with roasted garlic, we shared 2 appetizers: the new Lamb Chop Lollipops and the Gnocchi Fritti. The lamb came with an arugula salad and was grilled to perfection. The gnocchi was served with pancetta, peas, and watercress (?). After those ample portions, we shared Veal Saltimbocca with Fusilli (homemade). We also shared a dessert that Shannon recommended: Tiramisu (homemade as well). The food is consistently excellent!

The aura of the restaurant was very cozy and romantic (great place for a date). My friends and I are on a girls road trip and wanted Italian and we're so glad we came! Jackie was absolutely amazing. Her service and charm made our meal super comfortable as if we were regulars coming in. The drinks and food were delicious thank you for a great experience!

Absolutely delicious place. Dropped in around 4:30p to meet folks in town so we were able to get a table without reservations. Our server was really nice and welcoming - I'm sorry I didn't get her name! I love the menu here - there's a great assortment of food and very vegetarian friendly. The portions are huge and the pasta is rich. This is also the first place that I loved the bread and oil! The oil has garlic in it and it's amazing. The red sangria is on the sweeter side but I enjoyed it. It was packed by 6pm so definitely plan to come early or grab reservations. I ordered a tiramisu to go - it was an interesting shape that I didn't expect (round like a little cake) and could've used stronger coffee. Wish we lived in the area - this is definitely a great neighborhood spot.

Great place to grab takeout from. Portions are humongous, so be prepared to have it again for leftovers, which is perfect for Italian-American food IMO.Their parms are all fastballs, right down the middle. The highlight for me is their fusilli, which seems homemade, but if its not they must buy it fresh from somewhere. Its always nicely al dente, even out of the takeout container. I typically get the one with the rabes and sausage, and they aren't shy with the garlic, which I love. Sticking in the sausage category, the app w/ the vinegar and cherry peppers is simply divine.

Went for Valentine's Day and for the partner's birthday. Both times very pleased with the ambiance, the food, and drinks. Our standard go to drinks -- white sangria and Maker's Mark Manhattan were well chilled and well prepared. Everything was well seasoned, and beautifully presented -- the eggplant rollatini, fried chickpeas, scallops and risotto, and the Fusilli Affumicato, which had an outstanding smoky sauce. The chocolate lava cake for dessert was perfect, with a fluffy and moist chocolate cake and a nice ooze of chocolate flow. Three locations. We'll need to check the other two to see if they're just as spectacular.

Toscana Bar Italiano is a cozy restaurant where you can enjoy homemade delicious Italian meals. I went with a friend and we started off with limoncello Mojito drinks. They also brought over a bread basket with oil and roasted garlic. After that we got the eggplant rollitini appetizer and it was perfect for two people. It was the right amount of cheese to sauce ratio it basically melted in your mouth it was so good. For the main meal, I got the fuschili, ala vodka, which came with sliced sausages, and my friend got a risotto that had shrimp in it. We both enjoyed our meals and had leftovers afterwards. During our meal there were multiple people picking up food to be delivered or to take home so clearly people enjoy the food here. My recommendation would be to make a reservation because the place is small so there's a limited number of tables.

I never write reviews but their service is so amazing, I just had to. Had a slight issue, the waiter's response was that his mission is to make sure I was happy. The General Manager came over and was so gracious, it blew me away. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

We love this restaurant and have never had a bad experience with dine-in or take-out. We are local and have eaten here probably 8-10x, the food is always consistently good. One thing we really love about this restaurant is that their takeout is also great. Often times restaurants nail the in house experience but suffer with takeout, we have great experiences on both sides. Highly recommend!
