    Overall the place does not offer value for your money. The main that my husband and I had - lamb and veal Marsala- were subpar. His was sweet and not a lot of veal while my lamb chops had a particular odour like they were past their time. The big hit were the zucchini fries! The Tosca salad was underwhelming so would not recommend it. The service was fine after we sought someone otherwise this was also not great. I just assumed the restaurant etiquette was that on w you seat a table, within 5 minutes someone should be taking your drink order however that was not the case.

    We showed up a half hour early for our reservation but had no issue being seated right away by Alexandra. The service we received from her during our meal was outstanding. We started with calamari and zucchini frittes which were both very good. We had a couple pre dinner drinks, negroni and a manhattan which my wife said was the best manhattan ever. We all had different veal recipes for our mains. So much flavour! The vegetables also were perfectly seasoned. We shared a calbrese pizza as well. For deserts we had the raspberry cheesecake , tiramisu and pistachio gelato. Recommend them all. Overall an awesome meal with great service. Loved the vibe of the restaurant and was nice to see how busy they were but still able to provide a memorable night for our family.

    The food was good. Pizzas were very good but mussel dish was a bit small, and sauce was just ok. The ambiance is great for lunch. We all found the service, although prompt, not particularly friendly. In fact, our waiter was somewhat surly - not sure why. It would not have taken much to make this a great experience.

    We had an amazing experience. Food was delicious. We both had a veal dish and the deep fried zucchini and tiramisu for dessert. Our server was knowledgeable and when we asked her to surprise us with a drink to go with dessert we enjoyed a terrific martini that paired well with dessert. They also have a great wine menu.

    My parents and I ate at Tosca, and we really enjoyed ourselves. Make absolutely sure to get the grilled calamari appetizer - it was the real standout of the night! I had the spinach and ricotta manicotti, which was very tasty, and my parents both had veal dishes, one marsala and one piccata, which they also both enjoyed. Overall we had a great experience, even if the dining room got quite noisy by the time we were getting ready to leave. Service is a highlight.

    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.
