Best Restaurants with a Wood Oven in Lincoln Square

We had pre-theater dinner. Food came quickly. We ordered a bunch of apps to share - Brussels sprouts salad, roasted tomatoes, chicken wings, mac and cheese. Everything was amazing. Seasoning was perfectly balanced. Textures were gorgeous. We had s’mores for dessert and that was WOW. Not too sweet (how?? We don’t know) and a little salt. Beyond. I can’t wait to go back.

Toloache is one of my all time favorite restaurants. I always have a wonderful time when I go — it’s my go-to spot when I’m going into Manhattan to spend time in the theater district. As always, the service was wonderful — the hostess was incredibly kind, as my friend got stuck at a work engagement, the staff was flexible, the bar tenders were warm, and our waiter was lovely! I will always make time to go to Toloache and enjoy every moment!

A first time diner and the food, service and overall vibe was exquisite. Gabriel was our server and he was knowledgeable and attentive. They had the Christmas decor up and we literally cleared out plates. Apps, main course and dessert were excellent.

We used to regularly go here for its proximity to a theater venue we prefer. We've not been back for a couple of years due to living abroad. Nothing has changed. The service and food are excellent. We were surprised to learn our server was new. She was a total pro, keeping standards we grew to respect over that last 10 years high.

A perfect spot for a sophisticated, informal dinner. The chopped salads and brick oven pizzas work well together. Food preparation is consistently light and healthy. You can count on any dish ordered to be successful and delicious. Tables are spaced close together but this is nyc afterall.
