Restaurants near Gowdy Playground

We had a wonderful lunch today. We were able to sit near the fireplace! It was cozy. The service was excellent and the food was great. The new chairs are a bit low and hard to get out of but very comfortable. Can’t wait to return.

Outstanding service, our waiter was just fabulous and the food delicious as usual.

We went for lunch. I had my heart set on the Arancini but it wasn't on the lunch menu. I asked and the server was most accomodating and I had my Arancini. Delicious! With a Daniellas's salad (1/2 portion which the server offered) - a perfect lunch. My companion ordered a caesar salad with grilled chicken. Enough for another 2 meals.

In addition to the food and drinks being consistently excellent, the staff is outstanding. Chelsea is the manager and is proactive with introducing herself to diners and constantly walking around the restaurant to make sure guests are enjoying their meal. What is especially nice to see is she supports the rest of the staff assisting, as needed, in clearing tables, delivering food, etc. We sat for dinner on Friday night at 7pm and it was very busy. The kitchen does an amazing job getting the food prepared and to the table piping hot. Juliana was our server and I would be remiss if I did not mention how fantastic, personable and professional she is. We were a party of 6, ordered drinks, appetizers, entrees, coffee and dessert. She was attentive not intrusive and paced our dining experience from start to finish very well. Toscano has become our go to restaurant because of the food, staff and service.

Went for the New Year’s Day Hip Hop DJ Brunch and it did not disappoint! Tried the housemade donuts (cranberry orange & espresso martini), and they lived up to the hype 100%! Seriously, if we weren’t so full, I would have taken a couple of the orange-cranberry ones to go! Then we had chicken & waffles and the pastrami hash. The chicken was incredibly crispy and the hash was delicious- lots of peppers & onions to complement the pastrami. Music was loud (we were right in front of the DJ) with some great selections! Service was excellent as well. We will definitely be back!
