I know as I was here in the late 90's and it was a staple to the community for authentic upscale back then. As you would expect it is a multi-lingual staff in some cases. It wasn't overly priced in my opinion for what was a peaceful beautiful authentic and FILLING meal. The atmosphere, the food, and wine were amazing. We would do it 100 times again.

They have excellent sangria. Our favorite dish is the swordfish. The menu has both Spanish and English but I have had a hard time ordering in either language without pointing.

When I had conejo (rabbit) over a month ago here, my friend commented he would like to taste that too. Now that they are here in Rota, Spain, i decided to have it too and set it up with Antonio selecting rabbit, with rice. It was great with my friend eating all his within minutes then using the bread to sop up all the gravy which was delicious. We finished it off with a creamy natillas which I have never had before; all tasty and great as is everything in Rota and Spain. Antonio was very attentive though he was very busy with his whole bar filled and busy!

Venue: Come for the food, stay for the ocean view and sunset. This place is in a great spot next to the beach and easy to find. You will need to park your car somewhere in town, we parked a few blocks away near the Embarcadero parking lot. The restaurant is also very clean and if you arrive right at 8pm, you don't really need a reservation. Staff: Great service, especially for our for customers that don't know how to speak Spanish. They are fluent in English and very helpful in ordering local favorites and fresh fish. Food: We loved every item we ordered and it was nice to be able to share the dishes so we can all experience each other's plates. The grilled octopus was tasty and not too smoky or salty. The croquettes weee surprisingly tasty and not fishy at all. Definitely come here if you want to have dinner with a group or want to relax and enjoy a fun meal. We came here during the week and did not need reservations, but it can get busy on weekends, so make reservations if you can.

The waiter was like your Spanish uncle that you wished you had. Awesome guy, awesome service. So the Paella was perfectly cooked, nice and tender with the most flavorful crunchy bottom, the Paella trademark. A wonderful saffron flavor permeated through the rice, shrimp and veggies. This was everything you hope for when it comes to Spanish Paella in one of the most picturesque settings.

From the…read moremoment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting, and everyone at our table left with delicious meals and an all-around happy mood. I started with a glass of Moscato that was perfectly chilled and just the right amount of sweet--light, refreshing, and not overpowering. For my appetizer, I had the bruschetta, which was fresh and flavorful, topped with juicy tomatoes, fragrant basil, and a drizzle of balsamic, toasted bread. For my main dish, I ordered the four-cheese gnocchi, and it did not disappoint. The gnocchi were soft and pillowy, coated in a rich, creamy blend of cheeses that was indulgent without being too heavy. Every bite was comforting and full of flavor. Highly recommend stopping here if you're craving authentic, satisfying Italian food in a welcoming setting. It's also a great place for great conversation--the cozy ambiance and unhurried pace make it easy to sit back, relax, and enjoy the moment.

The restaurant is 100 meters away on the plaza which is also where we checked-in. Ristorante Italiano Tuscana has an extensive menu of antipasti, pastas, meat dishes, desserts, and a full bar. They have an indoor, air-conditioned dining room and tables outdoors on the plaza. The food was very good, the portions appropriate, and the prices fair. We ate there twice and enjoyed our meals along with their resident dog, Rocco, who was very sweet, lingering near outdoor diners, but not begging or being a nuisance at all. The first night we had l'insalata caprese €8 and tortelli 4 formaggi ai burro e salvia €15 for my wife and the lasagna bolognese €10 for me along with a bottle of water with gas and a liter of sangria €12. My lasagna was delicious and HUGE, but my wife's tortelli had not been properly drained, watering down the rich butter and sage sauce, but my wife still enjoyed it. On the subsequent evening, we forewent the starter, my wife ordering the tagliatelli con funghi €10, me the spaghetti carbonara, and sharing the cotoletta alla milanese €12, a bottle of water and two glasses of house red wine. All were very tasty, especially the carbonara which was prepared in the traditional way by adding egg yokes just before serving with plenty o' pepper ... HOOAH! Our dinners, a starter, main and wine/water ran around €50, not bad for good meal for two, so Ristorante Toscania was a definite Travelvalue and worth a return visit the next time we go to Naval Air Station Rota.

The downside though was that the food really wasn't that great. The flavors were bland and the fish was just so so. Plus they used imitation crab in one of the seafood salads. On the plus side, their coffee was excellent. Overall, not a bad place to sit and people watch on a summer afternoon but not my favorite restaurant in the area.
