This restaurant is spot on every time we visit. The service staff from entry to exit is helpful and interested in you having an enjoyable meal. The caprese salad with buffalo mozzarella and basil was chilled and flavorful. The veal milanese came fragrantly hot from the kitchen, tender and flavorful. The orchiete with veal and jumbo shrimp with melted leeks and marsala were also delicious. The wine list is extensive, properly chilled and served. The room was a bit noisy, but the tables are spaced enough to allow conversation with your dining partners. This is a highly recommended splurge.

Birthday dinner for my girlfriend. The food was amazing. Plenty of vegetarian options for us! I told the restaurant it was for a birthday and they surprised us with a dessert at the end of the meal. Would absolutely go again.

Consistently outstanding. Nicole took great care of us at the bar. Expert bartending - fun and attentive. Menu always always has the best additions. Had the trio of grilled seafood with grilled vegetables. Simple, clean, fresh and so delicious. My husband goes the other end of the spectrum with the filet with foie gras and truffles. Decadent and a total treat. Always greeted with open arms and gets better from there. Easy to see why Toscano is such a staple. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Seafood always fresh and cooked to perfection.

Food and drinks were delicious! Service could be better waiter forgot some parts of our order that’s was the only small disappointment..but we will be back! We loved every bite! Thank you!

It was an overall excellent experience (food quality, service, atmosphere, etc.) for our party of four.

Wonderful place to eat in Harvard Square. Great food and superb service.

I had a moderately pleasant experience at Toscano’s this past Monday,although it was marred by an unpleasant encounter with an employee.

Our waiter was terrific and very welcoming. The burrata and beet salad appetizers were great. We both had seafood dinners and later some dessert. Everything was delicious, it was a very comfortable dinner visit. Toscano has never let us down.

It was a great place with the very good service. We enjoyed it very much

The service and location were fantastic. The server herself was very helpful and engaged. The first course was delicious and clearly made with care. The second/main course however was disappointing. The pasta was obviously not fresh, the sauces were overpowering, and the overall flavors were off. The dessert was okay, but not authentic or memorable.
