   Food was delicious. I will say it was a limited standard menu, complimented by an array of specials, but everything offered was delicious. Not a red sauce place, but the lasagna on the standard menu is phenomenal.

   Il Toscano has been on my family’s go to list for more than 4 decades. Thank you, Alex, for the consistently wonderful welcome and service. We enjoyed the Arctic Char, Linguine con Vongole (my favorite), and the Tiramisu. Special thanks to Arturo this evening.

   First time here since end of Covid when tables were spaced and occupancy at 50%. Thought we would dine here again as it's 10 mins from home. I am a fish and veal eater only, no pasta for me and nothing with garlic. I ordered the branzino. Received 2 very small pieces, equal amounts skin and fish. Side veggies were diced and looked canned. My hubby's pasta bolognese he said was good but nothing really stood out. We sat upstairs which was fine. But restaurant needs a major renovation especially for these prices. Paneled walls, orange tiles and an unfinished plank of wood served as the table next to us. When we left it was packed downstairs with diners jammed in sardines. Very steep stairs and no elevator. I feel very sorry for the servers having to go up and down carrying all those plates. I compare this to Stella's in Floral Park and Giulio Cesare in Woodbury, food good but so very dated. I prefer dining at a pretty well spaced restaurant for the same money -- namely West End Cafe, Cafe Testarossa and Sotto Luna.

   We have been to IL Toscano many times, but this was the first visit for the rest of the family. Everyone was impressed with the menu and the specials, from the appetizers to the main course. The service is always exceptional. A first-rate experience all around.

   It was busy at 5:30pm Service was slower than normal. Food was good as usual. Only 2 waiters in the front dining room seemed to be insufficient. We normally try to beat the rush so next time we might even go earlier. Will continue to visit this restaurant.
