The lamb was not properly cooked. I ordered medium rare and it arrived well done. Sent it back and the second time around it was cut into thin chops that were over cooked again. Did not want to wait any longer to eat so did not send them back. Big mistake. Worse yet I was physically ill less than an hour after the meal.

Really low quality food - tortellini gorgonzola - at last visit. Also, I am regular customer recognizable to staff. and at an earlier visit during the Rogers outage, the staff did not trust me to go get cash from ATM and come right back. This occurred after at least 10 lunch visits in 2022. I won't be returning to TOSCA.

Every time I have gone to Tosca I have thoroughly enjoyed it. They are very accommodating for large groups, the food and service are always fantastic, and I always want to come back. The food is fresh and tastes great, there is a variety to choose from, and they can accommodate my food allergies. I highly recommend!

The chicken noci was one of the most expensive mains, and mine was tough and dry. The mushroom sauce saved what would otherwise have been a great disappointment. Others seemed to enjoy their mains.

We had the most spectacular meal. Our waiter Gerry made the dining experience phenomenal for us. He made great recommendations with regard to wine and dishes and was so pleasant to talk to. The tomato and buratta salad was mouthwatering and the pasta was exquisite! We will definitely return when we head back to Ottawa.

Atmosphere music loudness was better than my first visit for my birthday in May ,At that time sitting down with friends we ask the waiter to bring down the music a little only to get the answer that he could not change the music because this was set by the owner .I remind him that this is too bad because I am the one sitting at the restaurant not the owner , On my second visit in Late June music level was fine we could talk to each other ,yes same waiter again ,food was good ,except for over cook and soggy zucchini ,yes I should of return them ,but did not want to wait or get the waiter upset, waiter seams always in a hurry ,maybe short staff ?

The service was awesome. The food was very good. Had manicotti, gnocchi, lasagna and pizza. Also had bruschetta salads. Had a bottle of Chianti and some bar drinks. Serves food too quickly not allowing for more time to settle between appetizers and main course.

We were very excited for this restaurant. I went by the recommendation from the server and got the lasagna. Didn't like it. When I told a server I didn't like it (not expecting to get it free, we understand the risk when ordering), the server asked if we wanted a take out. No kindness, nothing. She didn't care. The server ruined this for us.

We decided on Tosca for my birthday dinner and it was a great decision. Busy evening and everyone excited to be out dining again. Our favourite waiter Zoo was there so it made for a special dinner. He guided us on the perfect wine that paired well with the Tortellini Gorgonzola and my Chicken Noce that was fabulous! We started with Bruschetta and the great Tosca Salad. Service was prompt and friendly. It was was an exceptional dining experience.. so delicious… we can’t wait to return. Grazie Tosca 🍷😋👍
