Toscano Restaurant

Toscano's is well worth the wait.This classic, and classy, Italian, located centrally in Boston hosts both locals and visitors equally graciously.The food is top notch, perfectly prepared and delicious, with portions that are just right.I wish I was a local so I could enjoy a meal more often, but otherwise, a great experience.

Fantastic food and wine experience every time.Roberto our server delivered many dishes along with a long list of supporters all performing beautifully to make another memorable evening hereThank you David for creating an amazing Oasis in Boston

This place is so so good! We are from Chicago where we have high standards for authentic Italian food as there are a ton of options and we are spoiled. I did so much research for a good restaurant in the Northend, settled in on one to take our parents who live in Westminster and it was justAwful last night so tonight we came back to our tried and true Toscano in Beacon Hill. Wehave eaten here at least 8 times but finally I feel we need to leave a review and tell you not to waste your time in the cheesy Northend come here instead. Peter is our server - old school professionalism top notch service - food is excellent we had the meatballs, eggplant as appetizer, Caesar salad, Salmon and filet of Cod as the mains. Additionally it is packed however the acoustics are great and we are able to engage in conversation and just enjoy our dinner. It was a wonderful evening. Thank you Toscano!

Really delicious food at Toscano! The pastas were lovely and the restaurant feels rustic and elevated. The round table was lovely for our group!

The folks at Harvard recommended this place for a dinner and while it was good, I'm not sure it was as mind-blowingly good as the receptionist said it was so we left a little disappointed. I had the tagliatelle gambari with shrimp which was just OK (I liked that there was an option for a petite portion since I wasn't super hungry). Also tried the grilled calamari which was a bit too chewy for me and I'd probably pass on that next time. Service and ambience were great but definitely felt like the locals hyped it up a bit too much but overall still a solid place if you're craving pasta.

We showed up to the restaurant without having a reservation but were greeted by the host kindly. We stood outside for about 15 minutes before they were open but they let us in early. Most of us got the restaurant week menu and it's a very good deal.The bread was good and idk what that balsamic vinegar and olive oil was but it's soooo good.I got the smoked salmon: it was good and the olive was interesting but quite salty as the olives are.Rigatoni truffle was pretty good , not too heavy. You get a good whiff of the truffle.Pana cotta was yummy but I was too full!We had a great time. The service was attentive and the place look really nice and classy.Great vibes to catch up with old friends.Definitely take advantage of the restaurant week menu when you can.

WOW! Amazing Italian dining in Boston, walking distance from Harvard Square. Our party of 5 came on a Thursday evening with NO reservations around 7pm and were pleasantly surprised to get a seat on the high top tables adjacent to the bar area and open kitchen. It's a beautiful restaurant with variety of small tables, booths, and longer tables. Staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Food: DELICIOUS! AMAZING! Fresh made pasta and wonderfully crafted pasta sauces, and proteins. The pictures speak for themselves, and you really cannot go wrong with any choice. So much so that our group each chose a different dish for ourselves and shared a little with each other so we could try as many different dishes. I can't really pick one favorite, since they all were delicious. I would say it depends on what you're looking or hankering for. On this night, I was really drawn to Pappardelle pasta, so that was my choice. But really, if you were looking for a type of pasta like gnocchi or farfalle or rigatoni, or a type of sauce or protein...so many options to meet your needs!A "MUST TRY" in the Boston area for sure!

I don't know if it was because we were here for restaurant week, but the service was notably cold and unfriendly from the beginning. Not sure if it was an off day, but they certainly weren't slammed--the weather was terrible, so the restaurant was unusually quite empty (I even found easy parking!). The food was fine, the rigatoni was even heavier and richer than I expected, and got a bit difficult to get through, but the pasta quality was high. I quite liked my panna cotta but my partner was very disappointed in his white chocolate tart, which he had been very excited for.

I am not exaggerating when I say that the gnocchi was one of my favorite Italian dishes I have ever had, including those I had in Italy. Handmade and perfectly pillowy and light, with a perfect tomato sauce and mozzarella. Everyone in my party ordered it and we were all equally impressed. The cocktails are also fantastic, with a few different classic Negronis catching our eye. The grilled calamari appetizer is not to be missed. I love the dark cozy ambiance. One of my top spots in Beacon Hill for sure, and I'll be back for that gnocchi!

Amazing and affordable Italian restaurant tucked away in the corner of Beacon Hill. I ordered the LINGUINE VONGOLE and FUNGHI (Risotto) and they were both great. I highly recommend the SPAGHETTI ALLO SCOGLIO where you get a mixed of seafood cooked with white wine in your pasta and its delicious! The service was friendly and attentive. This place feature a classic traditional dining interior. In addition, it gets packed up quick and seem to have many regular customers so make sure you make a reservation prior.Food: 8.8/10Service: 9.5/10Experience: 9/10Value: 9/10
