   We had a birthday celebration and they gave us a complementary Sunday for the birthday girl. And then we sat and visited for over an hour after our lunch and they were very nice and didn’t ask us to leave and didn’t ask us to buy anymore. it was kind of a slow day at the restaurant, but it was so nice to visit with our friends

   Four of us arrived, I use a walker and we were accommodated to a comfortable table immediately and handed menus, given water and asked if we wished bread which arrived almost immediately. Waitstaff was very attentive and well prepared drink orders were taken arriving 5-10 minutes later. Waiter was very knowledgeable and took our preferences (lactose intolerant) into consideration. Food portions of split salad, calamari dore, prawns, penne pesto, eggplant Parmesan were excellent quite substantial leaving enough for a light lunch the next day. Prices were in line with the portion sizes and quality of the excellent dishes. The bar is quite lively- get a table in back for quieter conversation. Definitely a neighborhood gem!

   We really enjoyed the restaurant. We were greated and seated right way. The warm and slightly special atmosphere comes from the wood finishes, photo mural and fireplace in the dining room. The food was perfectly prepared, with the exception of the risotto which wasn't quite hot enough. The Frito Misto was perfectly crisp on the outside and moist and sweet on the inside for every bite. The steak was delicious and cooked to perfection as requested. We'll be back!

   We had a lovely lunch today. We started with the meatballs (they were out of arancini). Delicious. As was the warm bread. Then we split cacio de Pepe. It was tasty but maybe a bit too creamy. Secondi, I asked if they could make veal parmigiana (it’s not on the menu, but chicken parm is). Our waiter said sure making me quite happy. My friend had the eggplant parmigiana. Both were absolutely outstanding. We had a bottle of Paolo Sordo Barolo which punctuated everything perfectly! Fabulous food and service!!!

    From the moment we entered the restaurant and greeted by the very nice young lady to the waite staff it was a wonderful experience, as ALWAYS. I’ve been coming here for 20 plus years and never have had a bad meal. Today I had calamari steak that was perfectly cooked with potatoes and green vegetable. Yum!!! Our waiters made sure our glasses were filled with water and Diet Cokes for my buddies. I’ll be coming back again. Interestingly, my two friends have returned here on other occasions with their families since I introduced them to La Toscana.
