We were in for Father's Day with family and witnessed behavior that was very disappointing. Between…read moreapproximately 4:30 and 5:30 p.m., a group of young adults repeatedly went in and out of the restaurant and appeared to be taking shots from a drink dispenser/cooler outsid a truck facing Main Street. What was especially concerning was that two female employees, identifiable by their Peecocco's tank tops, joined the group outside and appeared to participate while on duty and in full view of customers and families. We also observed bartenders interacting with the group and going back and forth between the restaurant and the gathering outside. As a customer, it raised concerns about professionalism and management oversight. Where was management during all of this? The food itself was fine--nothing extraordinary, but my kids enjoy the pizza. Unfortunately, after witnessing this behavior from staff, I no longer feel comfortable patronizing this location. It was disappointing and not the type of environment I expect when dining with my family.

My husband and I go to Osteria500 often and have always loved the food and service. This visit…read morestarted off a little rocky--we had a 6:30 reservation for indoor dining but were seated on the patio. My husband explained our reservation to the hostess, but even after she checked with others at the front, they wouldn't accommodate our indoor seating request. Thankfully, our waiter, Adrian, listened and worked with Adam to get us moved inside quickly. We were so grateful to both of them for taking care of us and turning the evening around! The food was delicious as always! Sharing a few pictures of what we ordered, although I forgot to take one of the affogato--it was delicious too. We'll definitely keep coming back to try more of the menu. Thank you again, Adrian and Adam!

Taverna Toscana is a fantastic restaurant. I made a last minute reservation to celebrate my…read moreanniversary (yeah, I know- should have done it sooner) and all that was available was outdoor seating, but the patio is covered and there are fans, so we went ahead and endured the heat and boy, was it worth it! The hostesses sat us right away, being careful not to overwhelm one server, so they discussed where to seat us amongst themselves and agreed on a plan. I almost expected them to clap and yell "Break!", but they were doing their jobs the right way. Our server was attentive, she knew the menu very well, and she was a true pro. We started off with the Parker rolls, which is super delicious and there is enough for way more than two people, so we had to be careful not to eat all of them, as difficult as that was. I'm also a French Onion soup fan, so I tried that- and it was great, and served in a very cool looking crock. My wife sat there saying she didn't want any, but proceeded to pick off half the cheese. (not cool, honey!). I ordered the seafood cioppino with the bucatini (a must have), and my wife had the chicken parm. First, the Cioppino was outstanding- full of great seafood, and the sauce was amazing. The bucatini is possibly the best pasta I have ever had. There is nothing like homemade pasta, and this was incredible. I was so full, but I kept eating it anyway. I paid for that later. Next time I will skip the apps and go straight to the dish. My wife loved the chicken parm and the portion was big enough so that she took well more than half of it home and I enjoyed it a couple of days later. All of the food was outstanding! Finally, I'd like to salute the server who was dealing with the table next to ours. The table was 4 extremely arrogant women who kept complaining about the temperature (you chose to sit outside, ladies) and the flies (wow...flies outside, who could have guessed?). The server handled them and their arrogance way better than she should have. They told her they were ready to order, then proceeded to take 10 full minutes to place their order because they really weren't ready. I have to admit, when my seafood dish was placed in front of me and it drew a lot more flies near us, I was a little happy because those ladies kept giving me the side-eye while complaining about "more flies than ever". Hilarious! We will be back often to Taverna Toscana, that's for sure. They know how to run a restaurant and their food is delicious. Thanks!

Since this is a very upscale restaurant you have to dress into a more business attire, something…read morenot too casual. The lighting and space is well designed with being able to reserve upper floor, bottom floor and main floor that has a bar. Reserve a place you would want I recommend a a full week ahead. There is valley parking and across the street. The servers make check ups, they take food allergies seriously and make sure to make the food safe. I recommend this place for those that want an experience of a fancy romance. Or a friend evening. Prices can range $$-$$$$ They allow you to see your check from a quick scan on the table. Great experience!!

The tables and chairs are all beautiful. Even the glasses and are perfectly paired with the plates. We started with the Amalfi Salad, which I would go back every day for, if I could. My fiancé got the Paccheri allo Scoglio. The sauce was perfect and the seafood melted in your mouth. Everything tasted freshly made and handpicked. I ordered the Pappardelle alla Genovese which was booming with flavors from onions to all the meats that are slow cooked in it. The cappuccino Tiramisu was just the best dessert I have ever had. Kiss to the chef ‍ Thanks for bringing your love for food to us!!!

Ambiance - cute…read more Food - good ... but not great other than the pizza/flatbread Service: - waiter was pretty rude all around -took forever to take our order - did not check up on table often (only 2 other tables we're filled) - When I asked for a side of Caesar dressing he smirked and said "for what ? Your pizza?" I said yes I like to dip it .. he gave me a look as if he was visually disgusted by my presence .. like damn okay I get it's not for everyone but damn way to make me feel shity on my bday. - when a party of 6 walked in he sat them right next to us ... there were MANY tables open ... we were inches away for them so much that it felt like they were joining our table ... the older mother kept staring right at me as I spoke to my group .. she was siting across from me to the left .......... Very awkward & uncomfortable.. especially with at least 2-3 tables across the way could have accommodated their party -Also it was my birthday and it was mentioned in front of him a few times he did not say HBD at all ... not that serious just kinda human curiosity - when dividing the check we told him how we wanted it split and he was visually annoyed and asked rudely to repeat how we wanted the check split .... It was me and my 2 friends and one wanted to pay for my entree and the other wanted to pay for my app ... it was not too complicated Maybe he was having a bad day .. not sure.. but I don't think I'll be back
