Found this place on a whim and was very impressed with the entire experience! The service was excellent and the menu had so many good options, it was difficult to decide. We settled on the signature steaks and were not disappointed! The creamed spinach is my new favorite I’ve ever had. Highly recommend this place for a special occasion or upscale night out!

Outstanding Very interesting location and set up. Worth waiting to get in. Positive vibes from staff. Hostesses really tried hard. Food was exceptional. Osso bucco was largest shank I’ve ever seen. Rich. Cooked perfectly. Frutti Del Mar with fresh pasta was outstanding. Bar was good to great depending on which bartender you got. Smoked old fashions were superb. Took some home / which I never do!

We enjoyed our visit to Taverna Toscana. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. There was live music the night we were there. To park in valet or the lot just down the block, you have to be willing to get around to the back of the building to enter. We will be returning for another great experience. Ace.

Very nice dinner. Great staff. I thought the music was a little louder than I thought necessary but I maybe I was under a speaker. The seats were very nice and the tables were multilevel.

We waited at the hostess booth for quite a while until the bartender saw us and told someone to come help us. A waitress came up and said the hostess would be here shortly. When she showed she was not even apologetic about our having to wait. We were seated, the waitress very attentive and enjoyable. Food was good. Drinks were overpriced, especially when short poured (small in volume). Fancy chef founder leveraging his brand to overcharge. Will think twice about returning.

Food, service and ambiance were outstanding! Menu extensive, wine list exceptional. Especially noteworthy is the Osso Buck - succulent. What a great addition to this area which until now was not known for its Italian cuisine. Other local restaurants should aspire to this level of excellence.
