Toscanova

While I'm appreciating the inviting atmosphere, the amp and expectation combination is high... some things are perfect and some things are far from. I am enjoying the warmth in every aspect. The black truffle pizza is a tinge salty, yet the best I've had. The crust, the best I've had. With a side salad, I'm in heaven!!!Generous portions. The table oil and vinegar are delicious too!My recommendations for food choices, 100% the black truffle pizza with any paring. The pizza is very satisfying!!! The salt magnifies the next day. The improvement recommendations will be better served w discretion. Enjoy! Buon apatito!

Reservations recommended. Busy at night. So pretty right now with all the holiday decor. Kids had a hearty steak and chicken Milanese. Lamb chops are delicious too. Drinks are tasty. A consistently good and easy choice for a nice meal.

Service was great even at peak hours! Food was delicious, and ambiance nice and calming. My party felt welcomed. Huge thanks to Christian for his excellent service and knowledge in different dishes, answered all of our questions and gave us his input. Will definitely go back!!!!

toscanova is a pretty consistent restaurant in the westfield century city mall. the restaurant is beautiful and very classy, and the service is generally pretty good. i usually order a vodka rigatoni pasta (off the menu) with chili flakes, which i highly recommend. the filet with arugula salad is good as well; but make sure they get it the temperature you'd like! the fried calamari is very good for appetizers. their chocolate soufflé is delicious.

Overall so mid. Ambiance is elegant and classy, and it's located right in Century City Westfield Mall. The service was efficient, but a bit rude. Every interaction felt oddly rushed even though the restaurant was pretty empty. The appetizers were decent, but no standouts except the risotto. The mains were too expensive for the quality.

Toscanova is the oldest surviving restaurant in the Westfield Century City mall. It's an Italian white tablecloth upscale type of place. It's pricey for dinner but it's a nice place to celebrate or have a fancy date night. Before the pandemic I came here for the more laid back happy hour at the bar and outside patio.This was my first time back post-pandemic and though prices have doubled (inflation sucks), the menu has stayed pretty much the same offering wonderful and generous Italian food and cocktails at more affordable prices.In the past my go-to for Happy Hour was the baked rigatoni with eggplant and tomato sauce. I'm really particular about how my eggplant is cooked and they got it right every single time. This time around my table ordered the pesto gnocchi, penne arrabiatta, parmesan truffle fries and tomato sauce and mozzarella pizza. The cocktail that was ordered was the cucumber splash. Everything was delicious. The cocktail was refreshing. The fries were good but they went light on the truffle sauce as I did not taste it. The tomato sauce and mozzarella pizza was a small individualized pizza and it tasted fresh out of the oven with the perfect amount of sauce and cheese and a delightful crunch. Both pastas were good but the pesto gnocchi was my favorite because I am a huge pesto fan and the combo of gnocchi and pesto melted in my mouth. This is a great place to have Happy Hour with friends but it's also a comfortable spot to grab a nice solo Happy Hour meal or drink and feel comfortable dining alone. They have a big screen TV at the bar which is also nice. They also gave us a complimentary bread basket which was a nice touch.Service was excellent. I felt so welcomed. When we left they thanked us for coming. It was a lovely experience. Another reason this place is cool: They validate parking! Woohoo!

I got here quite often with people who love this place. I'd say the service, ambiance and wine is a solid 10/10- and for that I enjoy it very much. But unfortunately the food is quite mediocre. I've tried something from each section of food options and I think my favorite had been their bread basket and hazelnut gelato.

I love surprises and you never... never expect that inside a mall you are going to find lentil soup, a delicious Mediterranean salad and the surprise that you will never expect "veal Osso Buco with cooked bone marrow" you have to have to believe it!!! I'm always looking for something special and this plate is awesome, tell you a great surprise. Service is mostly Latino from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador... happy faces with a big smile and friendly comments... you feel welcome all the way...good Martini and a good list of local wines... It's a mall the Century City Mall but once you are in, it's like a nice restaurant with gas heaters for the terrace and table cloths, bright glasses I tell you good that they are there, it's nice to find something that you don't expect...

We missed Happy Hour by a minute. :( We wound up staying for dinner on the patio which matches the old school Italian restaurant style. Their old fashion isn't quite as good as it used to be. We got a seafood pasta special with bucatini, sausage with orrechiete and rapini. Servers were very attentive.

HORRIBLE! Went here for Valentines dinner as a gay couple and were noticeably treated worse than other couples from start to finish. They didn't honor our indoor reservation, served our food to the wrong people, put precedence over other couples who got there later than us, and the front staff particularly (two women) were extremely hostile and rude. They loudly would announce they were seating first whoever they liked the most. How are we supposed to take that? They were so classless in particular. Worst of all, the food was TERRIBLE. Service was terrible. Cold foods that seem like they came from a frozen dinner, bad quality, all around bad!! It's like an extremely expensive Olive Garden. Would never come back. It is laughable to call this an Italian restaurant. Pure evil vibes.
