    Caprese salad splint into 2 servings
    Mark E.

    Impromptu date night. Not usually Italian-food goers, but this place was highly recommended. Fully recommend it and suggest a reservation. Smaller place, more modern than Italian style. The place was full but not crowded, just at the bar and front entrance when people are waiting to be seated. Food is great, high quality! Try it!

    We really enjoyed our meal at Cafe Toscano in Aurora. It had been a long time since we last ate here (10 years ago) and we had forgotten how good it is. The restaurant is actually very small inside - so you should definitely make a reservation. There were only a few tables for seating just two people. Service was excellent, and we plan to be back again sooner than the last time!

    Beautiful restaurant with a spectacular menu and staff. So many choices the wine list was substantial and moderately priced. The bread alone is reason to stop by. The bread is super flavorful and never ending but remember don't fill up on the bread, although it's hard not to. I ordered the chicken parm that was a huge thin breaded chicken cutlet smothered in gooey cheese and it was perfect. I opted for the vodka sauce and a good choice. I thought the pasta could use more sauce so I ordered a side sauce be aware extra sauce is an extra charge.

    Second time here and it was outstanding. The service was a bit slow and they must have been missing a hostess or something because major back up on to go orders but the food was such a shining star, I have to sill give five stars. That bread. Enough said. So incredibly outstanding. Moving on, my family had three chicken dishes, piccata, Marsala, and parm. All were very tasty but the piccata was the absolute best. Bright and fresh flavors and the recommendation from the waitress to go old school with this cavatelli under the meat was wise. Marsala was good but quite sweet. Parm was standard but done well. I got the fettuccine with marinera and was super pleased. I like it saucy and they delivered without asking so if you want it more fair, you'll have to tell. Cannot wait to be back!

    Caprese salad

    I really enjoyed this restaurant. The beer was perfect. The lasagna was authentic and delicious. The Caprese salad was as it should be. It would've been nice if they used heirloom tomatoes, but it was good. I do recommend this place and I'll be back.

    Seriously, this is my go to. Linguine with clam sauce only it's gluten-free so it's clam sauce with gluten-free noodles. Amazing!

    You can usually find David and I sitting at the counter at least once a week enjoying an incredible meal. Cafe Tuscano is our Italian go to. Better food than anything in little Italy. Try the grilled romaine salad The service is always friendly and always busy! I loVe all of the beautiful people there. I definitely recommend. Call ahead for reservations.

    Pollo Picatta
    Angeleah P.

    I couldn't recommend Cafe Toscano enough! This was my first time and definitely won't be my last. We started with the bruschetta and stuffed hot cubanos which were both delicious. And the house rolls were mouth watering with the dipping oil. I ordered the pollo picatta with angel hair pasta - it was incredible and the portions were huge. I also tried the parmigiana and that was delicious as well! It's a quaint space and busy the entire time so make sure you have a reservation. I cannot wait to go back.

    Baked ziti

    We dined in today 01/26/2024 at 5:45. Upon entering I was seated immediately and waited for the rest of my party. I was greeted with water and order my drinks. The ambiance is very cozy and intimate. The restaurant was clean and the aroma of food was amazing. Our server was Morgan and she was beyond amazing. Morgan made sure our food and beverage were perfect. There was another young lady who helped us with beautiful red highlights I believe named Halle she was amazing as well. Now on the main event the food. The star of the show was the fresh baked bread you'll thank me later! I had the eggplant and it was amazing. My sister had the fettuccine with chicken and shrimp and she also said it was good. Our dear friend had the ziti and she loved it. The portion sizes are large. We were celebrating my sister's birthday and they gave her complimentary tiramisu and it was very good. This place delivered everything and more! I can't wait to dine in again soon!

Whenever we have a taste for authentic Italian cooking not made by the In-laws D'Angelo's is our go to place. In the 15 + years that we have either dined or purchased takeout we have NEVER had a bad meal! I do not understand some of the other reviews on Yelp. The good people at D'Angelo's take great pride in every meal they prepare. The food is always delicious, hot, and enough extra for leftovers for the next day. D'Angelo's always brings a warm smile to my face and that satisfaction you get when you've eaten a fantastic meal. I'm going to end up with a bald head from scratching so much!!! I don't get it.

I got four of their large salads to go and when I brought them home the containers were about half full and they gave me one small dressing for each salad that didn't even cover half the salad. Extremely disappointed and will never go back. Casa D'Angelo in Macedonia has never been an issue with their takeout salads or their food

A very basic Cesar salad with no meat or protein. I paid another $16 for my son to get some soupy spaghetti with runny marinara sauce. And that was the price for the kid's meal. Doesn't even come with a beverage. And then $18 for a small cup of lobster bisque. It was creamy, but didn't really appear to have more than one small piece of lobster. The soft drinks were 3 bucks a piece. That small amount of food plus a 20% tip came to over $70. This was lunch with my five year old. The place is gorgeous, and I hate to say it, but this is a one and done for me. The spa looks like it would be nice, but I didn't really get to see anything beyond the restaurant. Parking was easy late in the afternoon and it was not busy. I couldn't imagine coming here when it is crazy-busy. I understand the negative reviews. I am not necessarily a 4 but the ambiance feels like it should boost it beyond a 3. This is where the 3.5 could come in handy. But the value and average quality are pushing me to 3. I wish the food quality matched the amazing and stunning decor.
