While the food is almost fantastic, the valet parking situation is less than spectacular and our server wasn't the greatest. Tables packed in too close together and this time we sat next to a bunch of cackling very loud women. Not going back anytime soon!

Good food, great staff. Been dining there since it opened many years ago. We have used their private dining room for family events and have always been pleased. And very moderately priced.

Have been to Il Toscano numerous times. Typically I meet my son when he gets off train. Food and service are always great. A good way to end a work day.
