    My daughter and I dined there last night and we were really impressed all the way around. From being greeted at the door (he was fabulous) and our server was equally fabulous. I sat and watched the servers and they were "on-point". There wasn't a glass that wasn't filled immediately, a plate taken away when meal completed in the most timeliest facet. The decor was great - felt like a really vibrant atmosphere and the food, the food, the food was the best. I enjoyed this experience and will definitely refer my friends but more importantly will be back. Chef's Kiss! This is a restaurant you don't want to skip.

    We have been going to Tuscany for over 30 years! It’s a very nostalgic place for our family. Even though it’s not on the menu they still make our favorite pasta dish . The garlic oil and cheese they make for the table is outstanding! A few things I miss: They used to fill your water with stainless pitchers, now they have bottles on the table. It saves time I know but I miss that service. Also the baked garlic was brought to the table in the husk and made, they would squeeze it out and add the oil and cheese. It was so special to watch. It’s the little things I guess. It still is a very warm friendly place. Our dinner was wonderful!!!
