    The Ravioli short ribs were delicious, as was the Chicken Vesuvio style dish. Tuscany never fails to deliver excellent dishes, no matter what we order. We dine here often, and the quality is consistently great!

    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!!!

    They were very busy and it is holidays. However, we were celebrating my daughter's engagement proposal that took place a few hours earlier. I put this in the reservation. There was very little interaction with wait staff. Very disappointing. I wish we would have chose somewhere else to celebrate. Food was good.

    Stick to the standards and don’t straight from the classics. We went off the beaten path and order food that was more eccentric to the standard red sauce type of Italian restaurant, which Tuscany is. We went with the pear ravioli and the prosciutto wrapped chicken. The good and the bad. The bread service was by far the best part of the meal. Roasted garlic confit smashed table side and mixed with evo and parm with nicely warmed bread. It was perfect. The meat balls had great flavor and the sauce was fantastic however the consistency of the ball itself was representative of a pate and poached as opposed to hand mix and roasted or seared them finished in the sauce to order. The pizza was an after thought. It was simply a flat bread that you’d find a chain. Which was disappointing because they have this beautiful wood burning oven. We preferred the prosciutto and mushroom. Which was speck and simple button mushrooms. Fooled me twice….. The raviolis were good however as I saw more dishes pass I know I should have went in another direction. Now the chicken. Dry breast, weak sauce to much cheese. But it had great flavor again. I’m sorry I so much wanted this to be better and give cridance to the old pasta houses that are becoming more and more absolute but we ordered wrong but we we won’t be giving them a second chance. Go to this place enjoy the classics but don’t be dissolutioned stay with the classics.

    Husband and I met for a quiet dinner. It was just as I imagined. The service is exemplary and the food was absolutely fantastic. I have to note that while it was later in the evening I noticed a beautiful family having dinner. So this is also a family restaurant .I have to also note the the price was reasonable too.
