Another great meal at Toscana, a local favorite and our 2nd visit in 4 days. We had the Arancini appetizer (enough for a full meal for 1), and then shared the Veal Saltimbocca. We enjoyed a bottle of 14 Hands Cabernet (2022), a real value at $46. As always, the service was attentive and friendly. we were served by Joshua M. We will return! read more

We ordered a pizza and cannolis to go and they were ready so fast and delicious! Margarita pizza was delicious, the sauce was perfect, smooth, not too acidic, perfect pizza sauce. Crush was perfectly cooked, thin but not too crisp. Cannolis were small but absolutely worth it, smooth filling and crisp outside, hard to do with to go orders. From my experience they seem to be great with allergies as well, I have a nut and shellfish allergy and had no issues eating here. I love when ordering online there is an option to mark an allergy on individual meals, it means a lot and sets this place far a part. Service was fast and helpful. Ambiance is great in the restaurant although we did not stay for our meal. read more

I can't get this place on a bad night. Takeout of their Kona Steak was among the better experiences I've had, finally an in-person meal was nearly better. Carbonara that even reheated better than most others I've had, and the boss had the Haddock special that not only gigantic, still was banging two reheats later. Expansive drink menu, tiny place with only 10-15ish tables and a good sized bar. This was downright pleasant between the amazing food and friendly staff when eating the bar. read more

The food here was tasty! The portions were very generous and I think we almost all needed a to go box. The drinks were also good and they had some unique ones on the menu. The server was helpful and attentive and checked in frequently. The vibes were classy and modern with a bit of old school charm with the building. They have a decent selection for happy hour too so check that out! read more

We had an amazing experience at this restaurant. Our server, Adam, was kind, patient and very knowledgeable. We had the haddock special, gnocchi and another pasta dish I cannot pronounce, but all of it, including the appetizers, was 10/10 for both experience and food. It's a cute little spot and I'm glad we arrived for lunch service because apparently they're always packed for dinner. HIGHLY recommend. read more

This review is long overdue. Where do I start? The food is authentic Italian with depth of flavor tha takes me to my childhood. The drinks are well. Just heavenly. From the bartender, to the manager, to the staff, all highly professional. Full control of back of house and front of house. Yes. It's a bit speedy for some, I get it. Worth every penny. You'll see 5 stars from me, but I give it 12/10. read more

Went on a Monday after I butchered a meal. Absolutely amazing service. Josh was a great server. The meal was haddock and ribeye with a peanut butter cup martini to end the night. Low lights , playoff basketball and friendly service. 9/10 would go back , just , so I could be wowed again. read more

Came to visit on a very cold evening. Once inside the ambiance warm us up. Wine and appetizers was just what was needed. Delicious meal and more conversation leading to dessert. Staff is very friendly and saw to our every need. Definitely coming back but hopefully on a warmer evening. read more

Came here for a birthday celebration. The restaurant is a decent size! Very homey and everyone was having a good time. We were seated right away, everything on the menu looked so good. We had a few appetizers, and split a bottle of wine! It was so yummy! Fabiola was our waitress for the evening and she was super friendly. All the food she recommended was fantastic. She checked up on us multiple times, and just made the experience special. She made us laugh and just welcomed! The evening here was a 10/10 definitely wanna come back and ask for Fabiola again read more

If you want an amazing meal, delicious drinks, and amazing service, you need to eat here. I think this is one of the best meals I've ever had. Every dish was shockingly amazing. The ambiance was very inviting. The music was a rat pack mix which made it even more fun. Our server Jackie was the cherry on top of our evening. She was a rockstar who made each one of our drinks and had excellent recommendations. She went above and beyond to make our experience the best ever. 10/10 would recommend! Also street parking was easy but there is a parking garage right next door. read more

Six of us went there over the weekend, the place is small and cramped. Waited over 30 minutes just to get a drink. We finally got our drinks and then we ordered some crab cakes for appetizers which were good. We then ordered our meals and three of us got the Rib Eye steaks. the other three got steak tips and lobster raviolis. The lobster raviolis came with shrimp on top, SRIMP????? Paid for lobster and it comes with shrimp on top. Asked for extra sauce and it was a totally different sauce from the ravioli sauce. Sent it back. The steak tips were a little too spicy, but my friend liked them. My two other friends and I were not happy with our rib eyes, we all mentioned that they had way too much fat and overcooked. We asked for medium and they came more toward the well-done category. We finished our meals and some ordered desert and coffee. The coffee came out within a reasonable time however the deserts took about 15 minutes to arrive. By this time the coffee is ice cold. It was not an enjoyable night to say the least. Also the parking isn't great. Never again. read more

Amazing service, fabulous food and clean comfy atmosphere. Parking wasn't too hard to find either even with the snowbanks

Food is great here. Bartenders fantastic. We're here practically every week. Usually try to vary what we get from the menu and it's always very good. Tonight I had steak tips, so tender and flavorful. Maybe buy the next grade of meat for these, they were a little sinewy. But I'll order them again, they were that tasty!!!! read more

Came back here for an afternoon lunch because that's where our group wanted to go. Carter was an excellent waiter. I ordered Mussels, while my friends ordered Chicken Parmesan and Bolognese. They both enjoyed their meals, and the mussels were decent, while the bread was delicious. Based on my first visit, which was not impressive whatsoever, and this second visit which was okay, they get 3 stars. They're alright but there's too many amazing Italian places in the area to say they are great. Ambience: 3/5 Food: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Toscana's: 3.6/5 read more

Went there last evening (June 21) for the first time. The setting and ambience is great. The host, staff and servers were very friendly. The food came out timely and was hot! We had Chicken Parm, Eggplant Rollitini, Linguini Alfredo, and Carbonara. I had the side Cesar salad made with Cale which was a first and really enjoyed it. The food was good but nothing spectacular. The linguini was under cooked and was stuck together in clumps which had to be separated before eating. The roasted garlic oil with the rolls was one of the highlights. Our waitress was slow and distracted however it was offset by another server named Fabulosa who picked up the slack and made all of us smile with her happy attitude. I would give this spot a second try to see if there is any wow factor to the food missing this trip. I would suggest you try it. read more

Absolutely delicious place. Dropped in around 4:30p to meet folks in town so we were able to get a table without reservations. Our server was really nice and welcoming - I'm sorry I didn't get her name! I love the menu here - there's a great assortment of food and very vegetarian friendly. The portions are huge and the pasta is rich. This is also the first place that I loved the bread and oil! The oil has garlic in it and it's amazing. The red sangria is on the sweeter side but I enjoyed it. It was packed by 6pm so definitely plan to come early or grab reservations. I ordered a tiramisu to go - it was an interesting shape that I didn't expect (round like a little cake) and could've used stronger coffee. Wish we lived in the area - this is definitely a great neighborhood spot. read more

The aura of the restaurant was very cozy and romantic (great place for a date). My friends and I are on a girls road trip and wanted Italian and we're so glad we came! Jackie was absolutely amazing. Her service and charm made our meal super comfortable as if we were regulars coming in. The drinks and food were delicious thank you for a great experience! read more

Literally so yummy I loved the food so much. Our waitress was so kind and very attentive and friendly. I recommend getting the gnocci or chicken parm if you like pastas, and if you like meats get their marinated steak tips or bolognese. The restaurant has a nice classy feel and really embodies authentic Italian food. What a delicious experience, 10/10 read more

We went there tonight for the first time, and we couldn't be more happy. The food was excellent and our server Fabiola 577 was the bomb.. we will definitely be back and ask for her again. Thank you for preparing a wonderful meal and making it a memorable night for me and my husband. Wendy and Allen--Windham NH read more

If this is the Toscana Bar on Lynnfield Street then I do recommend it. I have been there several times and have never been disappointed. The servings are plentiful. I always take some home for another meal. The service is always good as is the ambiance. read more

Went here for Valentine's Day. Had a reservation that I made months in advance. A friend had been there before and my lady and I saw a few tik toks about this place. The ambiance was really nice, the staff were friendly and very accommodating. The fresh bread that they bring out with the roasted garlic was so good. We ordered the gnocchi fritti for an appetizer. It was delicious. For meals, I went with the chicken saltimbocca and my fiancé chose the chicken piccata. Both were very very good. The pasta is homemade and cooked perfectly. Definitely high up on the list of places to visit again. read more

Toscana Bar Italiano is a cozy restaurant where you can enjoy homemade delicious Italian meals. I went with a friend and we started off with limoncello Mojito drinks. They also brought over a bread basket with oil and roasted garlic. After that we got the eggplant rollitini appetizer and it was perfect for two people. It was the right amount of cheese to sauce ratio it basically melted in your mouth it was so good. For the main meal, I got the fuschili, ala vodka, which came with sliced sausages, and my friend got a risotto that had shrimp in it. We both enjoyed our meals and had leftovers afterwards. During our meal there were multiple people picking up food to be delivered or to take home so clearly people enjoy the food here. My recommendation would be to make a reservation because the place is small so there's a limited number of tables. read more

It checks a box. Not the best, not the worst Italian. There are better places for pasta. Portions are good, service is good, food is good.

My husband and I celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary here last night, and it was fantastic.! :) We had a reservation for a table, but two seats at the bar opened up, so we took 'em. We prefer sitting at the bar when we go out. Adam, the bartender was excellent as usual (we usually eat at Toscano's once a month) and made me a delicious espresso martini. We always get the artichoke heart appetizer to split, and then I had their swordfish special, and my husband had the chicken parm. Both entrees were hearty & tasty. Jacky, the bar manager, brought over a tiramisu for our anniversary, which was very thoughtful and generous. I highly recommend this cozy restaurant for its delicious food and impeccable service. :) read more

Great place to grab takeout from. Portions are humongous, so be prepared to have it again for leftovers, which is perfect for Italian-American food IMO. Their parms are all fastballs, right down the middle. The highlight for me is their fusilli, which seems homemade, but if its not they must buy it fresh from somewhere. Its always nicely al dente, even out of the takeout container. I typically get the one with the rabes and sausage, and they aren't shy with the garlic, which I love. Sticking in the sausage category, the app w/ the vinegar and cherry peppers is simply divine. read more

We last went here four years ago when we went to the North Shore Theater. We always like to revisit a place we liked and see if it's maintaining its quality. I'm here to say that it has and if only Yelp would allow 4.5 stars I would give it that. As I mentioned previously, it has only 10 tables which makes it intimate and well, you'd better have reservations. (They do a lot of takeout). The place is noisy but in a good, convivial neighborhood way. We didn't drink booze, largely because we're both watching our weight and figured pasta and bread were a good tradeoff. (Sparkling water is a pretty good substitute if you're looking for flavor.) They brought out bread with oil and toasted garlic. We are worshipers of A) bread and 2) garlic so we wolfed those down. We got mussels and they give you a ton of them, also with bread. Delicioso. My wife had the same as last time, the bolognese. I'm not a big fan of bolognese but I tried it and it was the best one I've had. I got the frutti di mare and that was excellent (although I felt it needed a little salt.) We skipped dessert (see: weight watching), each had capuccino, and the tab came to about a hundred bucks pre-tip. So you see it could easily add up had we gotten booze and such. Your mileage may vary. Beverly is a bit of a ride for us so it's not likely we'd make that trip on a regular basis. But we would definitely go back the next time we go to North Shore. Oh, and the service was excellent. They're busy so it took a while which was OK. But I would suggest that if, say, you're going to a North Shore show at 8 o'clock, suggest making reservations for 6 pm. The theater is about 10 minutes away (plus two minutes for getting lost) and it takes a while to park at the theater. read more

This food was amazing! My girlfriend found this establishment through a tiktok, and the video alone made our mouths water. The service was super, like the LeBron James of restaurants, they seated us within seconds of walking in. Our server Fabiola was a wonderful woman asking us questions, laughing, and inquiring about our visit. The ambience was incredible, having beautiful music, lighting, and an open bar. Our family highly recommends this establishment even if you're dinning alone. I ordered the Shrimp Fra Diavolo, and I'll let the picture speak for itself. Just kidding the food was rich, with a kick of spice that combined well with the rest of the dish. read more

Went for Valentine's Day and for the partner's birthday. Both times very pleased with the ambiance, the food, and drinks. Our standard go to drinks -- white sangria and Maker's Mark Manhattan were well chilled and well prepared. Everything was well seasoned, and beautifully presented -- the eggplant rollatini, fried chickpeas, scallops and risotto, and the Fusilli Affumicato, which had an outstanding smoky sauce. The chocolate lava cake for dessert was perfect, with a fluffy and moist chocolate cake and a nice ooze of chocolate flow. Three locations. We'll need to check the other two to see if they're just as spectacular. read more

This is my favorite restaurant. It is super tiny, but very intimate and romantic. The cocktails are strong and delicious and service is always the best. They let you take your time and are very friendly. They start you off with bread and garlic oil- delish. Then we always get the broccoli rabe spring rolls and they are SO GOOD! The carbonara is my favorite. Never had a bad meal here. Highly recommend! It's a great date night before a show at the theatre. read more

Came here tonight on a whim and must say - 5 stars all around. This place is intimate and you may need a reservation to be seated but despite that, they were able to squeeze me and my friend in. We had a great waitress (not sure what her name was but she had dark hair?) and she was fantastic. She was attentive and super helpful and was great at making recommendations. We ordered a pizza that was a special tonight and let me tell you -- this pizza needs to be on the menu all of the time. It was incredible! There was a seafood on it - including octopus and ... eh, I forget what else but It was absolutely divine. Perfectly crunchy and the seafood was super fresh. It even caught the attention of a nearby patron who immediately ordered it after seeing us devour it. We also had the mussels which was served in a good size portion and goat cheese stuffed artichoke served with greens. It was plated so well. The wine was perfect as well and needless to say, I will absolutely be returning here again (but will be sure to make a reservation next time). Well done Toscana! read more

I ordered takeout tonight and was enjoying my chicken piccatta until I bit down on something really hard. Looks like it could be a small pebble or maybe a person's tooth but needless to say I'll never order from this place again. It's overpriced anyway.

WOW. OKAY. What a great little spot. First time checking this place out and the reviews do not lie! It's like a little north end oasis in the heart of Beverly. The patio seating was heavenly and tucked away. Hempz hand sanitizer spot on thank you for making me smell like cucumbers and not rubbing alcohol. First win. We split a bottle of sauvie b to start and ordered gnocchi that I asked for with pink sauce and my friend got the carbonara. UM YUM. Delish. I loved the fresh ricotta and basil on mine and the pink sauce was amazing. My friend also loved her dish. This place is the real deal. Can't wait to be back! Bravo! read more

Great, very small dining room and bar space. Make a reservation, not a place you can walk into normally. Food is fantastic.

We love this restaurant and have never had a bad experience with dine-in or take-out. We are local and have eaten here probably 8-10x, the food is always consistently good. One thing we really love about this restaurant is that their takeout is also great. Often times restaurants nail the in house experience but suffer with takeout, we have great experiences on both sides. Highly recommend! read more
