" Visited Toscano last weekend and was blown away by the atmosphere! Soft lighting and tasteful decor set a romantic mood. We tried the pappardelle with slow-cooked beef and it was absolutely divine—every bite melted in my mouth. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and we never felt rushed even though it was busy. Definitely planning to revisit soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an average experience at Toscano. The ambiance is nice, but I found the food to be ordinary. Nothing stood out as particularly amazing, while the prices reflect a more upscale dining experience. Service was satisfactory, but I don't know if I'd return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated my birthday at Toscano with some friends and, unfortunately, my experience didn't quite match the hype. The food was good, but I expected more authenticity. My lasagna lacked that rich, homemade taste and seemed a bit bland. On the plus side, the tiramisu was amazing and the service team was friendly and attentive. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing many great things, I visited Toscano expecting authentic Italian cuisine, and I wasn't disappointed. The service was attentive, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. My risotto was creamy, with a vibrant flavor. I rounded off my meal with a lovely chocolate tart. Will definitely make a return visit for the pasta! " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely experience at Toscano overall! The ambiance is cozy, great for a meal with friends or family. I tried their margherita pizza, and while it was good, I felt the flavors could have been more vibrant. The service and atmosphere make up for it, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit and I was eager to try their famous Osso Buco. While the presentation was lovely, the flavor didn’t quite match my expectations. It felt a little underseasoned compared to other Italian spots I've tried. However, the staff were incredibly nice, and I appreciated the cozy setting. I might give it another try for their pasta dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to Toscano several times and it never fails to impress. Their homemade pasta is truly the star of the show! My recent dinner had me try the squid ink pasta, and it was a delight. The servers are always friendly, making it feel like a community. Highly recommend for authentic dining! " (*Curated Review*)
