    We’ve Ben coming here for over 45 years and the food has ALWAYS been consistent. We’re very fond of their veal dishes. We would highly recommend any dish they have

    We enjoy Toscano, the food is amazing, they have an excellent wine list and service, both the servers and management truly take care of their customers. Today we were down from NH just for the meal. We brought a friend (from a restaurant in NH) for the experience. We were a bit nervous as the night before another couple from NH that we had recommended Toscano to had been and texted us how much they enjoyed it, raving over the food (and word got back so our guest had expectations.....). Well, everything was perfect again. Daniel, our server, took the time to explain to our guest about the menu and options. Julie and I shared a starter (a small portion of their Bolognese) and our friend had the same...he was talking about it all the way home. The meals were just as good. I ordered on item and it was suggested I try it a different way and was not disappointed. We relied on Amy to pick a wine and her selection was just what we needed to cross many foods. We all had dessert (I won't say which because they are all so good....) and finished on another high note. Once again Toscano showed why heading to Charles Street is so much better than braving a trip to the north end. Thank you all, Bill & Julie

    Overall, yummy and good service but for the price point there are stronger options. Also disappointing to order my tenderloin medium rare and receive a medium well/well done piece.
