This was a nice restaurant. Their Chilean Sea Bass was great. Knowledgeable waiters, too. woo.

Food is very good. Cheese plate is small but worth it and the dinners me and my family had were delicious and perfectly cooked. For spending that much money on food, this place was 1) WAY TOO LOUD, I could barely think let alone have good conversation with the people I was with. I would go to an overcrowded bar and order wings if I wanted to shout back and forth, and 2) Our waitress was friendly and helpful, but it just took a really long time for our food to come and for us to get our orders taken. We wanted dessert but decided against it as we didn't want to be there another hour. All in all awesome food and the atmosphere could be good if it weren't so loud. Its big and open with a lot of tables and its too much. I would like to eat here again but I think for that much money I'd rather go to a small low key place where the food will be just as good. I live in the city so there's no need for me to travel that far again. read more

If you've ever wondered what Real Housewives of the South Shore would look like, go to Tosca's and check out the bar in the wine room full of sparkly blown out blondes with their older husbands. Locals like to say this place is on par with what you'd find in the city, and if they're just talking about prices, it's true. The food is above average, but not exceptional. The service, though, is top notch. read more

Went for Valentine's Day dinner with the hubs. We had a late reservation but the wait staff was still attentive and the food was still delish. My husband had the salmon which was amazing.. my bolognese was ok... nothing to rave about. I had the smaller portion which was plenty large after the two appetizers. The buttermilk calamari was cooked perfectly, but the basil was a bit overpowering and the weird dipping sauce was too thin to stick to the calamari. The oysters were perfect.... I would love to go back, sit at the bar and order a pizza from that amazing looking oven! read more

What a debacle. Big mistake. Evening ruined. Don't expect to sit in Wine Room if you arrive within 1/2 hour of opening (6pm). Batsh*t-crazy dipsh*t hostess was taking names for a waitlist she didn't honor. Refused to refrigerate our birthday dessert because we didn't have a table, then made us stand for 2 hours. Half our party left. No acknowledgement, no accommodation from anyone in management. One waitress apologized, after trying to get manager to do something (she didn't). They flagrantly treat you like crap. Go anywhere else! read more

Tosca is good but not great. Certainly overpriced for the level of food. Service ambivalent . A good place for a drink at the bar and a few nibblies but that's all. However, It is a handsome resteraunt with a high level of activity and that is what most of the crowd was there for. read more

I have gone to Tosca for a long time. I have always known that it is a great restaurant. Well, I went tonight and ordered gluten-free because of the disease I have and they were more than accommodating. I had a pleasant surprise when the waitress came over with my own gluten-free HOT rolls right out of the oven for me that the chef made. That really made me feel special because it is frustrating not being able to eat what you are used to eating. Anyway, I really enjoyed my meal and I must say, it was more than I could eat and gladly took home leftovers. The food was absolutely delicious. I got the filet medallions and they were perfect. I will go there again and again. I really felt like I was treated great by the waitress and the chef. read more

We stumbled onto this place after a day out at World's End. Very pleasantly surprised. Very high quality food all excellently prepared. And each item we ordered showed the hand of a chef who had concocted it with care and inventiveness. The box of shrimp was amazing. The shrimp tasted fresh, not previously frozen. And the breading was light and effervescent. The waitress advised us they mix seltzer water with flour to make it extra light. The fennel sausage pizza was huge and amazing, with its sweet balsamic reduction contrasting with the sausage. My partner had the short ribs and thought it would be a perfect dish for winter, but served on root vegetables, was a bit heavy for spring. Still delicious though. We also had a delicious caesar salad, clearly prepared with care. All the food served at tables nearby looked incredible too. The only minor criticisms we had were that the waitress, while really nice and gracious, seemed to be bluffing her way through explanations. For example, she tried to entice us with a limited time special of "ramps mushrooms". The dish of course had ramps AND mushrooms. But any question we had was returned with a confident response that was wrong, like she had only been half-listening to the chef as he explained preparations. Also, the pistachio cake dessert was so dry it crumbled completely. Maybe it was stale? And then finally, after dessert, when we were totally stuffed, the waitress brought over.... a free small dessert - shortbread and fudge. Delicious, mind you. But if we'd known they were serving it, we never would have ordered a regular dessert. These are all minor quibbles though. We are definitely going back. One other point - the restaurant is beautiful - an old converted train station, definite steampunk steakhouse vibe with high ceilings, exposed wood and brick and metal, and tables spaced apart reasonably so you don't feel like you're eating with your neighbor. Who knew there could be such fine dining this far out of Boston? Yes, I think it is deserving of 5 stars. read more

Went there a couple of months ago. Had wanted to visit sooner but it took a while to finally get there. On the whole Tosca delivers relative to its market segment. I'd probably give this about a 3.5 if I could; there are a few points that keep me from giving Tosca a higher score. On the plus: First: The food was excellent. I had roasted beet salad, a halibut special, and creme brulee for desert. All of these are some of my favorites and I have a pretty good sample size since I've had all of these in various restaurants over the years. Tosca's delivered on all three items; they were right up there with the best I've ever had. Tosca also gets points for presentation; the dishes were extremely pleasing to the eye. The down side is that there just wasn't enough of the salad or the halibut. At the end of each course I felt a bit unsatisfied that I had not had enough of this excellent food. Second: A very attractive dining room with all the high end table settings etc you'd expect at this price point. Third: Service was top notch. Our waitress was a true professional and met our expectations of a high end restaurant - knowlegeable and efficient. On the minus: First: This place is LOUD. Second: I felt a bit crowded. Since we were there on the early side everything was fine until the table next to us was seated. A bit of a squeeze to get out between the tables and we couldn't help but hear the conversation from the other table. For the prices at Tosca I expect a little more real estate. Third: Giving the high end market segment and location there is an element of elitism here. I'll definitely go back and I would recommend for a special night or if you're just in the mood to be a little indulgent. read more

Nice atmosphere and menu. Wine selection was good. Service was a bit slow to begin but the waitress was very friendly. Once we ordered, food came out in rapid fire. The bus boy was too quick to clear our plates and we felt a bit rushed. I had the fish special which tasted yummy but the fish was way over cooked- similar texture to chicken. The chicken under a brick was good that my spouse had. read more

The service was great, food came out hot and fast. Boar bolognese was excellent. The pricing seemed fair.

Tosca is simply one of the best restaurants in Massachusetts, and I cannot praise it enough. I brought my wife here on one of our first dates. She had never been exposed to dining like this before, and I knew this, so I brought her here to give her a lasting impression of what life would be like, dating (and now being married to) a foodie. Since then, we have brought friends and family here for the same kind of experience. When we know we are going to be taking the special people in our lives out for a nice dinner, we always bring them to Tosca. There is no such thing as a negative experience here, and after seven years of coming here, this still remains true. The food, service, and ambiance, are of the highest standards, which is the very reason that Tosca has earned a numerous awards. When approaching the building, your senses are captivated by the smells from the wood fired oven, giving you're a preview of what will be in store for you. Tosca is located in an early 1900's market place, and remnants of the past are evident, as you walk of up the cobble stone hallway, leading to the bar and dining room. Mahogany wood throughout the dining room sets the tone for a romantic evening with warm colors and candle lit tables. The wooden beams across the cathedral ceilings transform this once factory-like building into a rustic, but romantic escape for the evening. The décor is simple, but alluring, and along with the open kitchen, sets the stage for one of the best dining experiences you will ever have. Its historic American charm mixed with old world Italian flare makes Tosca both intimate and lively at the same time. One of my favorite items that is always on the menu, is the wild board bolognese. This exotic sounding dish is one of Tosca's most delicious items. A boar shoulder is smoked for what seems like hours, then it is tossed with zucchini ribbons, juniper, and hand cut ziti, leaving your taste buds delightfully pleased, and screaming for more. But my absolute favorite appetizer has to the Tosca's classic fried calamari. And by using the term "classic" Tosca is being way too modest, because the only "classic" component of their version is the fried part. It is lightly breaded, and fried, and then lightly tossed in lemon and basil. Other restaurants' versions of this dish can tend to get careless when tossing calamari in too much liquid which makes it loose its crunchy texture. It is served with a spiced aioli and, homemade pickles. The pickles range from sweet, to tart, to mildly spicy, creating a surge of flavors dancing around in your mouth. Thursday and Friday nights feature a "steak house" menu with an array of aged prime meats, and a few seafood items, in addition to their regular menu. No matter what you order here, you will be blown away every time; even if you are the most finicky of eaters. You can't end a perfect meal without trying one of Tosca's tantalizing desserts creations. No outsourcing of desserts here, as Tosca has an in-house pastry chef, and another valuable asset behind Tosca's award winning success. Classic deserts like chocolate chip cookies are taken to new heights when cooked with brown sugar and served with dulce de leche and hot fudge. The carrot cake is glazed with a walnut anglasie (as opposed to the traditional cream cheese frosting), served with a scoop of pineapple sherbet (also made in-house). I have tried both, among other deserts that scandalously seduce you into trying one, even though the button on your pants are ready to pop off from the luxurious meal you just ate. It is far too easy to become a glutton when the food is this good, and the aromas from brick oven possess you with its enticingly sinful, and yet glorious aromas. I have been a Tosca fanatic for 10 years, and I still get a head rush from their lusciously decadent sweet treats...and probably from being overly full, but loving the pain of being full, and money well spent on a fantastic meal from start to finish. The food and ambiance, while they are both very important, are only part of what makes this place so outstanding. Service, service, service! Chris Sugrue, Tosca's General Manager is always friendly accommodating, and consistent in both regards. Not once, in the nearly 10 years of coming here, has he ever forgotten to check on my wife and me, to ensure that our experience was better than the last time we came in. And the servers are always more than hospitable in addition to being knowledgeable. At one of our last visits to Tosca, we ordered a couple of bottles of wine, and the server knew to keep our glasses full--we didn't pour our own wine once that evening. The service here always has, and always will be, extraordinary. I think it's obvious that this is one of our favorite restaurants, and we would love for others to also experience the bliss that is Tosca. read more

A very good friend is temporarily living in Hingham and took me to what he learned was the most talked about spot in town. True to its popularity, Tosca was full of couples and mature, professional looking diners. The selection of bread was good, standard Italian delights like focaccia, asiago bread, etc. We started with the caprese and the calamari. Both nicely done with some unique touches like pinenuts and slices of pickled beet, which gave the calamari almost a Vietnamese touch. I was trying to decide between the cavatappi and the bolognese. Was there a house specialty? Yes, the waitress informed us, bolognese. This dish is done with a penne and wild boar, and the meat was surprisingly tender. We also had a nice bottle of Pinot Grigio. Overall a very nice showing for a small town spot. read more

Went here for dinner a few weeks ago, and the food was delicious. The atmosphere was great, there was a LIVE band there when me and my friends were there. The waitress came over and gave a rundown of their specials... very attentive to all our needs during our dinner there. I had the duck breast, and it was yummylicious! I will definitely go back! read more

Great food and wonderful service. My moms 60th was a lovely experience. My only setback was the portions. They were quite small and a few of the men we were with were hungry after we left still. But that's fairly normal for an upscale restaurant to not serve jumbo sizes. Overall it was fantastic and we will be back! Thank you! read more

We had a superb meal here for my mom's 80th birthday. In addition to excellent food, we were extremely happy with the service, atmosphere, and really all aspects of the experience. Highlights were the steak dishes (better than I've had in most fancy steakhouses), the Roman dumplings (think gnocchi made with semolina instead of potatoes), and any of several seafood dishes. My lamb shank (daily special) was quite tasty, but I'll admit I enjoyed picking off others' plates more. Desserts we tried (creme brulee, pumpkin tiramisu, and chocolate torta--but without the cranberry jam) were scrumptious. Next time we go, we will probably order the calamari, buratta salad, ribeye medium rare (with truffle butter), and Roman dumplings. I will be deliciously torn between the safety of the chocolate torta and the allure of trying the cider doughnuts with mascarpone cream. read more

Tosca serves wonderful modern Italian cuisine to a suburban clientele. The dining room is beautiful with exposed brick, warm woods, and a bustling open kitchen. My boyfriend ordered the "Porcini" wood oven pizza which was a thin crust pizza with imported porcini mushroom crema, baby lettuce, asparagus, and white truffle oil while I had the angus sirloin medallions with smoked paprika rub, asparagus, brussel sprouts, and Tosca 'steak' sauce. For dessert, we had the almond joy stack which is dark chocolate mousse on top of a coconut cake, amaretto mascarpone cream, toasted almond gelato, milk chocolate, and coconut sauce. The pizza and dessert was delicious. The angus sirloin steak was good but not impressive. If I was to go back, I would probably try something else. All and all, we had a wonderful time and found the service extremely friendly and accommodating. read more

Usually Tosca's is my favorite restaurant on the south shore but tonight's dinner was awful. It was supposed to be bolognese sauce which I have had there before but this was like no bolognese that I have ever had. Whoever heard of corn in bolognese & sliced cherry tomatoes. The boar was microscopic...all and all very bad. If this is their version of a summer bolognese then they should tell people. Don't waste ur money . I got in touch with the manager & he was terrific. He called and we went thru all of my concerns. I was given a gift certificate. Chris was very nice about the whole thing. I will be going back. read more

Tosca is a great Italian restaurant where you go to impress a first date, head over for drinks and eats or just head over to enjoy the smooth and danceable jazz by Geoffrey Dana Hicks and Soul Temple Band (check band schedule with Tosca). read more

Mostly delicious. Risotto was a tad bland. Other than that it was a great dinner.

Love the food. Four of us and we all had filet mignon with a couple appetizers and some wine. Great wine choice. The cost was about $400. Extremely pricey! read more

Great dinner at Tosca once again. I have not been in a few years and the quality of food and service just keeps getting better. We had the WILD BOAR BOLOGNESE, what taste, pasta cooked perfectly, WOOD GRILLED PORK CHOP, amazing, CRISPY POINT JUDITH CALAMARI, perfect, Truffled Parmesan Potato "Tots", crazy good, PAN SEARED SCALLOPS, cooked perfectly, MEAT BALLS, WINE, MARTINI'S, THE CANOLLI DOUGHNUTS WERE CRAZY GOOD. All of the entrees and appetizers were on the money. The waitress and servers were right on too. The great thing is is you can have an expensive dinner or you can go for a nice pizza and some wine and get out of there cheap. sorry for the caps but that is right from the menu. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in all of New England. The Marguerita Pizza as an appetizer, the wine list, maritnis and all the specials are mouth watering great. This is a beautiful restaurant in a great town accessible from Boston by Rail and Ferry. This is as close to a finely tuned swiss instrument that a restaurant can be. They are the best. read more

Went to Tosca for the first time. Everything was excellent. It's heavy comfort food, but fresh and piping hot. Service was amazing - real nice experience. Don't bother with the panzanella salad - overdressed and not much flavor. Had the tater tots, amazing and the chicken/brick - outstanding. Heading back in January and taking my family for my sister's birthday. 10 of us, so that will be the true test. Enjoy! read more

Every time we come here we say to each other, why don't we come more often? The food is fantastic. First rate steaks served with a variety of interesting sauces. My favorite caesar salad of all time - crisp, clean with a hint of lemon. And those Short Rib Meatballs with homemade pasta!! (And as an aside, I am highly sensitive to MSG and these are the first and only restaurant short ribs that I have found to be really free of MSG.) Tosca has it all; a talented chef using high quality ingredients in a beautiful setting with top notch service. read more

Good restaurants on the South Shore. Great atmosphere, steak cooked to perfection and large wine menu. Very consistent.

We hadn't visited Tosca in a year or more but recently took our stressed out law school daughter to dinner and it reminded us why we used to love this place. It is a bit noisy so don't go for a quiet conversation but it is a fun (if a bit dark) space. Everything we had from great wines by the glass, starters and entrees were all very, very good. My wife had a special 'duck cannelloni' starter that was truly outstanding...we talked about it for a week! I always get the chicken livers starter (yes I know it sounds strange) but again, it really is special. For entrees I had the lamb shank (might have been a special), my wife had the short ribs, our daughter had the chicken under a brick, not to be repetitive but they were really all excellent. The only downer of the evening was the parking ticket we received parking on the street in front of the restaurant. Even though the signs say 'no parking between the signs' they apparently interpret that to mean, no parking on the street. I'm fighting the ticket...and the urge to go back to Tosca. It's a special place and one wouldn't want to spoil that! read more

Great good, service and atmosphere. The steaks were fantastic. We will definitely be back.

Exceptional meal, atmosphere and server! We went to Tosca for our 25th anniversary and were not disappointed in the least. I had Chicken under a Brick, which was crispy and juicy and fabulous. The bread, the salads, appetizers, main course -- everything was just incredible. The server (I wish I could remember her name... she used to own a wine shop) was absolutely amazing. Classy, friendly, polite, attentive, and the bus boys were equally helpful, but almost invisible. Perfect. It's casual, but elegant at the same time. I wore a sports jacket, but there were children there, too. If you want to avoid the Boston parking experience, but want amazing food in a warm, wood-and-brick environment, head to Hingham. It's worth the drive. read more

We love Tosca! Everything about it, is restaurant perfection! Typically, we dine in the bar, and on Saturdays, they have live music, which we enjoy. We both have our favorite meals: the pork and flank steak. The wine list is exceptional, and generously served, desserts are varied and flavorful, not just sweet. Service is attentive and friendly. Make reservations, or you will have to wait. One of the other reasons that I love Tosca, is bc it is right between Hingham center and the harbor: great location!! read more

Impromptu stop on a Sat nite, after a visit to World's End. We began w/ the steak tartare. It was scrumptious! The only comment would be that the steak should have been more finely chopped. Our entrees consisted of the wild boar bolognese, a pizza with greens & porcini, and the pork tenderloin. Each dish was delicious! The pork was well-charred & tender! Dessert consisted of the Apple & pear crostata, and the butterscotch creme brûlée. Both were wonderful! read more

Consistently terrific food, and even better atmosphere. Love the Southern Tier Choklat beer selection too - very cool addition to an already stellar menu. Whole Wheat Fusilli with short rib, glazed liver and onions, box of shrimp . . . all so very good. read more

This place is consistently great! From the food to the drinks everything is in sync... yeah it's loud... but a great place.. staff goes out of their way to serve you.. definitely a top notch place! read more

Great food and service - very pricey for the area --- but great food and service right on the water.

The food at Tosca is amazing but very rich. Try the chicken livers you won't be dissapointed. Brian at the bar is great and listen to what he tells you to order. read more

Meat pizza was so good. Kelly is a good bartender - so nice. A great evening after a bad day. Tosca's was very accommodating.

Came here a few weeks ago for an anniversary dinner and it was good! Not the best meal we have ever had but we liked it! The service was great and the food was very good. We started off with a bottle of wine and the steak tar tar. THAT was really good. On par with LockeOber in Boston, (RIP). For dinner I had the Boar Bolognese and the other half had the steak medallions. The boar bolognese was very tasty but 30 dollars for pasta and a few pieces of boar? Ya no....not 30 dollars good. read more

Seated promptly in the smaller dining room the four of us were greeted by a great waiter. The food was exceptional start to finish and this waiter was well prepared to answer questions and make good suggestions. I had sirloin medallions which were cooked perfectly on great mashed potatoes and asparagus. Very tasty and plentiful portions. Two of our party had scallops which were cooked perfectly and tasty. The fourth diner in our party had a seafood stew which he loved. Starters of Caesar salads, a grilled peach and arugula salad, and a tomato, basil mozzarella salad were big hits as well. We finished with the vanilla and rum raisin gelato which we loved. I haven't been there for dinner in a while but we will make it a regular stop given the exceptional experience we had last night. read more

Solid performance last night at Tosca. Service, food, ambiance, seating comfort -- could not be better. The tortellini in this summer's menu is especially heavenly. High marks to all of the other dishes, too. read more

Went for dinner on Friday and really had an amazing experience! Ambiance was lovely. Restaurant was packed, but we still managed to have great service. Food was incredible! There were four of us and we ordered several apps, entrees and multiple desserts. Everything was amazing! One plate was just as good or better than the next! Would definitely recommend this spot!! You WILL NOT be disappointed! read more
