Yes, it is amazing, our family eats there on a regular basis for 8 yrs.We have a pretty good drive from Pleasant Hill to the restaurant, well worth the time. Awesome food, salads are great, pasta is great. Lasagna is my favorite. I do enjoy their cauliflower pizza as well. Awesome hospitality great wine and enjoy every minute.

I noticed some changes the last couple of times I've been there and guess I'll go ahead and write about them. The food is still very very good but the portion sizes have shrunk a bit. The thick slices of warm bread that used to come to the table have been replaced with thin slices that don't taste nearly as freshly baked. My Sicilian iced tea seem to have more sweet-and-sour mix in it than it used to, but it was still okay.The prices are on the higher side of reasonable. Still like Toscano's and the food is good. Get there earlier or be prepared to have a wait.

My family loves a good Italian restaurant and BOTH of our last 2 "go-to" places have now either closed or changed hands (and is no longer good). Dad's requirement to call a place good is that it reminds him of his mom's cooking. We visited Toscono's in Buckner recently and, while it's not grandma's, it's close..The prices are a bit high, a family of 4 should expect to spend about $120 without alcohol, but the food is pretty good. It's no Cafe Italia, but is good if you are in the area. My dad had the shrimp Alfredo, mom got lasagna, and I got penne in meat sauce. We also ordered a 4 meat pizza to go so we could try their wood fired pizza (forgot to take a pic of it when we got it at the end of the meal).The ambiance is nice, quiet and clean. There is a small private room you can reserve, well appointed restrooms that are clean, "Sal" over looks the wood-fired stove which you can view from the main dining area, and a bar room with TVs that are not turned up so loud they bother the diners in the main room. Lovely art prints hang on the wall, as well as an original painting that is beautiful. The storefront is easy to find, and the outdoor space has a fountain that provides a nice backdrop and sound of bubbling water.They start you off with bread and seasoned oil, the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time, and we all enjoyed our food during the meal. The pizza though, was by far my favorite thing- it was old world Italian style, made in the wood fired oven, and was amazing!!! I'm so glad we decided to order one to go!Service was excellent, even when it started getting busy earlier than they expected, leaving their one server to cover all of the open tables in 2 rooms. We never felt forgotten and were also not constantly bothered. Overall a good experience.

An unexpected, but nice little gem of an Italian restaurant in a small town! I ordered the lasagna which was very tasty and in generous proportions. If you have gluten allergies, order the gluten free bread to start things off. It's very good, especially with a spread of butter. We also ordered the Fusilli pasta which is gluten free as well. The Cesar Salad is good and great to have ahead or with your entree. You can also choose from a bottle or glass of your favorite vino too. For dessert, we ordered the crem brûlée for the finisher- so good and creamy with that carmelized top! The dining areas are nice and decorated in that old world charm just like Italia. Our server took good care of us and made some nice suggestions!

When I first moved to Missouri, I got insurance through AAA in Lee's summit and I was recommended by the agent who signed me up to check out Toscano's in Buckner. I was told it's one of the best Italian spots in town. I added it to my bookmark list and thought last Friday it was time to go check it out. I was not disappointed to say the least. Well, one item could've been better but overall everything was fantastic. From Anita our server to the owner Kurt. The deep fried artichoke hearts did not work well together. Personally, I think they should've had some kind of creamy sauce mixed inside of them so they would've been softer and every bite would have been as much as you wanted. Does that make sense? You took a bite, and the whole artichoke dip would slip out of the casing of the deep fried goodness... Just to give a shout out to the owner. He walked around table to table, asking about how their food was how their experience was, and just got to know the people. I thought that was really cool. I've worked in restaurants before I started working in utilities, and I know what makes good customer service shine. This man has it. One day I plan on opening up my own restaurant when I retire, and what he does is what I want to do. To be that guy who gives the guests attention. Anyways, other than Kurt Anita, our server was attentive... She was always there when we needed something, always offering refills. She gave us great recommendations starting with a full flavored wine, and one thing I do love about Anita is she recommended something and said not to eat something. Yes some of you might say, "you can't say not to eat something at a restaurant." I disagree.This is something I did when I was a server and everybody wanted to hear those kind of comments. Most of all we all don't have the same taste buds and some things aren't as good as other items. The restaurant was clean, I love the vibe. I love how all three of the rooms were all put together for one big restaurant. They were old buildings on the downtown over in Buckner. Don't hold me to that I could be wrong...But regardless, it was really neat. I felt like I was in an authentic Italian restaurant, the hustle and bustle the wine bottles on the wall... The bar....and don't get me started on the food. Well, I will... The food was awesome. My bacon, chicken, chipotle pasta had so much flavor. my wife's chicken Spiedini was packed with flavor as well. I only had one bite, but I did enjoy it and the presentation looked phenomenal. All plates were perfectly balanced with more meat and toppings than actual pasta. Which I think is top-notch. Everything came out, and the marinara sauce was flavorful and thick! We finished it off with a chocolate and vanilla cannoli and this I don't have much experience with. I did have a cannoli out in Boston Massachusetts, but I can't remember because it was about five years ago. But from what I know it was good. Ha ha ha .I can't wait to come back again and bring some other people to enjoy this experience. I will come back anytime I get the opportunity.Oh, one last thing. I did use the restrooms and they were perfectly clean. FYI... It is one person per bathroom ha ha ha, so wait your turn!

In town for a wedding. Bride recommended Tusconos, called a day before to see if they could accommodate a party of 20 on a Thursday night and they booked us in their banquet room. We had to pass through the main dining room which had a steady flow throughout the evening. We had a diverse group and everyone of all ages enjoyed their food.

Crust is perfect and the sauce is the best in town. I love that you can buy pizza by the slice! The Waldo area has needed this place for so long! As a vegetarian, I love that they always have veggie or meatless options.

So sad to hear the announced closure of Tusconos. We are so grateful for the owners and staff that shared their passion with us with incredible food! We wish you all success as new doors begin to open! Elections do have consequences.

Laid back atmosphere, nicely decorated for Christmas with seasonal music. Staff is very attentive and helpful. Food was hot and fresh. We especially liked the homemade Italian salad dressing over nice greens with homemade croutons and cheese! Delicious.
