Amazing find after touring the Book of Kells, Trinity and the Dublin Castle. This restaurant is right across the street and has a two item lunch special. We ordered the linguine with vongole and muscles, and green salad. They were not put off that we were sharing. (We have dinner reservations in four more hours). It was amazing! The aroma alone made my mouth water and the flavor was outstanding. The salad was made with lovely fresh vegetables. We have decided to cancel our steakhouse reservation for tomorrow night in lieu of booking here instead.
I will highly recommend , if you like to have great Italian food this is the place. They have their own vegetable garden.
Absolutely incredible! A must visit! The two course lunch selection was definitely the way to go. Our server was impeccable and the space was amazing. Absolutely thrilled we stopped here!
Waking down the road in Ireland, I came across Toscana. What caught my eye was the gluten free Pana Cotta. The staff were very helpful, the place is very clean, and the food was served promptly. I order a salad and had them add goat's cheese. It was a lot of goat cheese! This was a very large salad served with rocket, lots of olives, as peppers. It was a feast in itself. I also had the soup of the day without bread. It was a bean and cabbage soup and was both tasty and filling as well. The Pana Cotractors was very nice and was served without the extra sugar. They even anticipated this. ;) Top notch dessert. I loved it. My impression of the place is that it is a very nice Italian restaurant with some nice woodwork on the walls, the seating is very comfortable and extra efforts were made to make sure my lunch was perfect. The bill was 17.40 euro. WOW!!! What a deal!
Soggy pizza? Manager loudly yelling at the waiter? PASS. Came here on a Saturday afternoon and had the 10 Euro lunch special - A starter and a main dish. Decided to go with the pizza since it was what I was craving. Chose spinach, sweet corn and chicken for the toppings. Here's the 411 - If you're going to get the pizza (which you shouldn't because there was not enough sauce so I had to cop some from my friend's pasta dish just to make it okay-tasting) don't get the chicken on it because it tastes like they killed the bird 3 weeks ago and left it out in the sun to dry, then threw it on your pizza) The verdict - don't let the lunch special fool you. If you keep walking straight for about a block or so, you'll run into a restaurant that was featured on the travel channel, called Crackbird (which i didn't find out until after the fact that I was stuffed with dry pizza).
Simply delish. Bottom of the photo is spinach, ground beef, three cheese stuffed pasta. Came with a side of buttered roasted potatoes. Top of photo is the penne dish.
Wow!!! This food is legit Italian food! The atmosphere and the service were wonderful! The Moscato wine that we had, Giallo I believe, was absolutely delicious! If you were in Dublin and you are craving Italian food, you must visit Toscana.
We came in here on our first day at Dublin for an early dinner. The restaurant is near the Temple Bar and City Center. We were seated downstairs near the kitchen and the seats were pretty cozy. We started off with Zuppa Del Giorno and Zuppa Ribollita Soups. For the main, we had Lasagne Vegetariana and Pollo Limone. And for dessert we had Tiramisu. The portions were good and every dish came out great. The service was pretty prompt as well.

Food was delish. Pizza with prosciutto and pizza with salami pepperoni and ham both delish and different! The Mixta salad was nummy. The grilled chicken breast was very dry, mom wasn't a fan. The Taggliatelle pasta with chicken and mushrooms in a creamy garlic white sauce was delish. The red wine was good. Service was great. They didn't miss a beat and that place stays very crowded and even with big groups. The ambience is loud but cozy and business family or nice every day dinner vibes. Really good quality spot all around. The bathroom is downstairs as with most spots so if you don't do stairs be prepared and go before hand! Easy to get to. read more

We were in Dublin for three days before we left to Galway and on the last day we decided that we needed to try another type of cuisine in Ireland. For every meal, we ate at pubs and cafes and honestly, we just needed a good pizza or pasta dish for our last dinner... & somehow we found the PERFECT spot! Super clean, very nice interior, comfy seats! Good service! Just ask for Mick! What an incredible experience at Toscana! Our caprese salad, pasta dishes, and desserts were top of the notch! Our server Mick was wonderful! His hospitality stood out amongst the rest which definitely made our visit worthwhile! The restaurant was moderately busy that night but we were greeted with a warm welcome right away, given the specials, food and wine recommendations and overall provided with the highest quality of customer service and satisfaction. Since we were interested in getting to know a little about the locals of Dublin before leaving, Mick was very personable and informative about the people, himself, and the city. He shared amazing travel stories and urged us to check out some awesome spots before we left the city. Without Toscana and Mick, I don't know if I could say I would be back to visit Dublin. Thank you for the great food and amazing service! read more

I had heard a lot about this restaurant before I came here, mainly from my friend who was getting married and is obsessed with this place. He chose this restaurant for his wedding dinner and it was fantastic. We had a group of 50 for dinner and the staff were amazing. They were so helpful and pleasant, they made sure every single person was taken care of, topped up our wine quite a bit, checked on ALL of us for our food. They worked very hard. We had a four course meal and it was delicious from start to finish. There was 6 starter options, 8 main options and 4 dessert options, along with tea or coffee to finish. I chose the hot wings for starter, the chicken literally fell off the bone. Divine! They were very spicy but absolutely lovely. I chose tagliatelle alla Toscana for dinner, more chicken.. The pasta and sauce was beautiful, so creamy and full of flavour. I couldn't handle any more chicken so I left that alone. The portions were huge. I could barely finish it. I took a break, along with everyone else! Then my dessert came out, I ordered the lemon cream and biscotti. TO DIE FOR. So creamy, bursting with flavour and a lovely tangy aftertaste. The biscotti could have been a slight but crunchier but that's just how I like it. Finished with an espresso and I was doneeee. I could barely move. The owner came to see how everyone was doing, she's an absolute diamond. She made sure everything went perfectly. Her staff are an absolute credit to her. Fantastic restaurant. read more

I had read great reviews of Toscana and when it was a friend's birthday a couple of weeks ago, I was delighted to here that's where we were going. A group of us went here and what a fun night we had! Firstly, the food was delicious. I went for the seabass which was gorgeous, and my friend beside me had the chicken with three cheeses, wrapped in parma ham and smothered in creamy sauce. Basically a heart attack waiting to happen! I think the cheeses were ricotta, mozzarella and gorgonzola. Now, there was wine involved, so I may have misinterpreted this! Between us all (there were about 10 of us) the bill was about €45 a head which for a 3 course meal and wine on tap was pretty good! Oh and since it as my friend's bday, all the waiters came out with a cake and sang her happy birthday. So funny/cringey for her! read more

We started with sharing the suppli. Very flavorful and just the right amount of crispy and soft texture. Moved on to the insalata mista. Beautiful salad of arugula, walnuts, pomegranate, pear, goat cheese with a lemon vinagrette. Our main dish was the ravioli porcini. Highly recommended. Small restaurant but great ambience and Christmas music made this a wonderful evening. read more
Very tasty. The best Italian food I had while I was in Dublin (which, admittedly, was only three times). I highly recommend the suppli appetizer. It's basically like a giant thick mozzarella cheese stick with rice in it, but it was really, really good. My entree, carbonara, was not quite as good, but still tasty. You can usually judge an Italian place by their carbonara, and I give the carbonara here a B (above average). The pasta and sauce were good, but the pork could've been a little more flavorful. Finally, for dessert, I got their puff pasty. It was very light and creamy. A good way to end the meal. I definitely recommend this place. 4.5 stars. read more

We loved our experience here. I would absolutely recommend coming here for lunch. Their specials are incredibly reasonable and you get a lot of food for what you pay for. There are three lunch menus with varying prices from 11-14 euro, all are worth it. You get a starter and main entree with each lunch special. We had the bruschetta, crostini di Umbria, and the polpettine di pesce for our starters. All of them were amazing! Our main dishes were flavorful and filling. We had the soprano pasta bake, fresh hake portofino and penna alla norma which is the only one not pictured. The pasta bake is served in a mini skillet and was more than enough to fill my teenage brothers and dad. The hake was creamy and more than filling. Lastly the Norma was simple but the sauce had a great flavor you would not expect. I hope to visit again before I leave Dublin! The staff, atmosphere, and food were all a 5/5! read more
