Our second time to Toscano, and both times the food, service and ambiance were really special It is ideally located in Harvard Square, and on a cold winter's night it was a warm haven of comfort and quality. Our server was especially solicitous but never intrusive about our need to leave for a concert, and we never felt hurried. There are a number of fine restaurants in the neighborhood, but Toscano is my go-to place when I am in Cambridge.

This is my new go to restaurant. I have been for both dinner and brunch - all excellent. The “collection” concept allows one to taste a variety of dishes - fantastic idea. For the brunch, one can order a “mini” Bloody Mary” along with one egg Benedict. At dinner recently shared the arugula fig salad, halibut & had the 1/2 portion of the lamb lollipops. My friend had the 1/2 portion of rib eye. All excellent and the wait staff is incredible! Since I did not want 2 glasses of wine, they offer a 2 ounce glass which was perfect.

Our experience was excellent. This was our 2nd Annual Ladies Holiday Tea and I believe we will be back next year in 2025. Service, food and the Lexington location was perfect for our group. I highly recommend this place for a wonderful experience anytime during the year.
