    Although my chicken parm. was of very good quality and the portion generous, it was more on the bland side - maybe next time I’ll get it with an arabiata sauce.

    I found Tosca Ristorante via a google search after the restaurant I was recommended did not have any reservations for the time I needed. I looked at the website and the menu and decided to take a chance. I will say the restaurant is very nice. It's got a nice ambiance, the staff were friendly and the food was fantastic. There were 6 of us at our table and everyone commented as we were leaving how good the food was. Overall, if you like Italian food, I highly recommend Tosca Ristorante and I know I will definitely be back.

    The food was great! The service was poor. Our wait staff apologized many times yet restaurant was not overly busy. We were never asked how our drinks or food were. We never saw her to even wave her over. Yet the gentleman serving the bread and the girl cleaning tables and packing leftovers we constantly saw.

    Around our table we ordered the chick and veal parmesan, gnocchi gorgonzola, veal gamberetti and the lasagna, with bruschetta, snails della casa and eperlani fritti as shared appetizers. Everything was prepared very well -- it was simply delicious. Our server was also very attentive to our needs, and provided food and wine recommendations. Excellent!

    There were rave reviews about the chicken parm so I decided to try it. It was very very ordinary. Huge portion but not great. My husband enjoyed a tortellini dish. Overall, very ordinary. Oh. And I was not offered a refill on my pop, which was also a negative.

    Food was great. We ordered a $75 bottle of wine, they didn't have it and suggested an alternative. We asked if it was the same price point and the server said "yes, this one is a bit better". It was delicious - it was also $250 dollars. They had already removed the wine list and we didn't confirm the price - we thought asking the server was enough. This was an underhanded way to move us to a bottle of wine that was priced over 3X the one we had selected. We will not be going back to this restaurant.
