" I highly recommend Osteria Toscana! I’ve visited a couple of times and each experience has been exceptional. The trofie pasta with basil pesto was superb—authentic and fulfilling! The portion size was generous, which means great value for your money. However, I noticed that certain items on the menu are on the pricier side. The waitstaff is polite but could improve a little on attentiveness during peak hours. Nonetheless, this restaurant remains one of my top picks! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had dinner at Osteria Toscana and was very impressed. The gnocchi was incredibly soft and the sauce, flavorful! The restaurant had a delightful ambiance with fantastic decor. The service was wonderful, which is always a plus in my dining experiences. I look forward to coming back for another delicious meal soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had mixed feelings about Osteria Toscana. The food tasted good overall—especially the appetizers—but service left something to be desired. It felt crowded, which made it hard for our server to be attentive. The outdoor seating was a nice touch, but overall, I think they can work on making the dining experience smoother. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my visit to Osteria Toscana, but there was some room for improvement. The tortellini was delicious and reminiscent of culinary experiences from Italy that I've had in the past. The folks at the front could use some training as I felt a bit unwelcomed upon arrival, which hampered the experience slightly. The decor was charming. I would suggest this restaurant for those looking for genuine Italian fare. " (*Curated Review*)

" The meal was good, particularly the eggplant dish that had the right amount of seasoning. But the service let me down during my visit. The wait felt longer than expected for my food, and my server was somewhat inattentive. I believe the food quality distinguishes this restaurant, so I would recommend, but with caution regarding service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Osteria Toscana and was blown away by the dining experience. The pasta was handmade, and you could really taste the freshness in every bite. I ordered the linguine alle vongole and it was perfectly al dente, exactly how Italian pasta should be prepared. The ambiance was cozy, with delightful decor that made my evening all the more pleasant. The service was homey yet attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my dinner at Osteria Toscana! The eggplant Parmesan was exceptional, truly rich and savory. The only downside was that we had to wait a bit for our table, as it was busy on a Saturday night. Once seated, the service was prompt, and I was impressed by how quickly the food arrived. The restaurant's vibe is perfect for a casual date or gathering. I recommend reserving a table ahead of time, especially on weekends. " (*Curated Review*)
