Jackie a sensational waiter, Perfect in every way. real veal parmigiana with homemade fusilli. I am in heaven right now. If you been you know what i'm talking about. if you'd never been I suggest you high tail it as quickly as possible. I ate outside, inside is extremely loud so be prepared. I just saw mammoth mozzarella sticks. I wish I had ordered them.2: read more

Of course, the pasta is great here, but it's nice to have low-carb choices. We had the seafood stir fry and the steak tips. Both were excellent. Service was great and although it was a very busy Saturday night, we were seated quickly. Great date night spot. Pro tip: We eat or order out from this place at least once a month. If you dine here regularly like we do, Costco in Danvers has discounted gift cards for this place. You can also purchase discounted gift cards at the restaurant around Christmas. read more

We got take out again Saturday night and decided to try something new. I got the chicken Marsala and it was such a huge portion. The sauce was a little sweet but I really liked it and would get again. My husband got the chicken broccoli Alfredo and again a huge portion. The sauce was nice and creamy. We also got dessert: chocolate molten cake and Oreo tiramisu. The Oreo tiramisu was more so a cheesecake but it was delicious. Sorry I don't have pictures of that. The molten cake was good too, we microwaved it and added ice cream. I'm sure the desserts are even better in restaurant! read more

The food was delicious, the espresso martini not so good. we had a party of 8. large bill as expected. Towards the end of the meal, a small dead mouse was discovered under our table. The server had someone come with broom and pan to remove it. i think the manager should have come to address it with us. Not sure how this could have been avoided, but it grossed me out. Despite the quality of the food, I won't return. read more

Party of three. Overall, the food was good, but I was surprised by the bill. I ordered the Bolognese, which the menu lists as "pork & beef ragu tossed with handmade fettuccine pasta" for $26. When the check arrived, there was an additional $3 charge for the fettuccine. When I asked about it, our waitress explained that the pasta is homemade and therefore costs extra. However, the menu already describes the dish as coming with handmade fettuccine for $26 and doesn't indicate anywhere that there is an additional charge. I don't mind paying extra when it's clearly disclosed in advance, but unexpected charges are disappointing. If handmade pasta carries a surcharge, the menu should clearly state that, so customers know before ordering. read more

Visited with friends for lunch and had a great time. We each had sparkling strawberry lemonade, very refreshing & had a flower on top! We enjoyed a salad and bread to start our meals - the arugula salad looked very fresh, the Caesar was yummy!! After the starters, I didn't have room for my full meal so I brought half home. It tasted delightful and I'm glad I went with what I did. Cozy atmosphere with funky music paired wonderfully with our delicious lunch. Would recommend! read more

Used to love this place for years. Menu and quality issues have pushed me away. Steak tips used to be great. Not anymore. Hint.... no one wants bland steak tips with six baby roast potatoes and crappy green beans no matter what you call them pasta dishes and sauce have gone down hill. I miss my 20 year plus go too. Maybe over expansion has done them in. plenty of choices on the north shore. doubt we will be back at this point. read more

Friday night take out. Mother's day weekend. Parking lot full. Restaurant packed. I was a bit hesitant to order since I assumed that if the kitchen was chaotically busy, they probably would not be putting out their best cuisine. I was right!!! Linguini con Vongole. Tiny rubbery clams with no taste. Chopped rubbery clams. Overcooked pasta. Very poor dinner. The rolls and dipping oil were the only edible part of the meal. read more

Toscana is our go to Italian restaurant. The homemade fusilli and chicken parm are consistently great. Everything from eggplant rollatini to tiramisu is delicious as can be. Love that they have Peroni on tap too! read more

I have been here three times. I was very excited to come back this past weekend. Most meals have been very good but we had a disappointing experience. The service was not good but I am not sure if it was entirely the waitresses fault. However, it took over three hours to get through dinner. Lobster ravioli was not tasty and the sauce was too overwhelming to taste the ravioli. And there was no obvious lobster meat. Other dinners looked good but not amazing, as I had expected. Appetizers were all good as were drinks. Will try it back here one more time before calling it quits. read more

the food and atmosphere were awesome, but the best thing about the place is Caylea M. She was undoubtedly the best waitress we've ever encountered in any restaurant we've ever eaten at. We absolutely adored her. she was no doubt a kind and wonderful soul. We look forward to coming sharing again. PS this was our first time at Toscano, but definitely not our last!!! read more

Ok. I tried multiple times to have this problem taken care of by a manager through voice mail and messages that have gone ignored. So here's my experience on Saturday 6-13-26. I have a wine allergy. I informed the waitress who was very attentive and I watched her write my allergy on the order slip in front of me. I do not blame her for any of this. Someone in the kitchen apparently does not understand how to avoid cross contamination. The ONLY thing I ate was a veal cutlet with sauce and cheese. No pasta. No salad. Just that. Within minutes I was having a full blown reaction to wine. I took an allergy pill and went outside before the bill was even paid. I knew I was going to be sick. By the time my girlfriend drove us the 15 minutes home i barely made it to my bathroom to projectile vomit and then passed out in bed for a solid ten hours. Miserable experience made worse by the fact that they refuse to respond to requests for a conversation about this obvious mess up. Won't be back. read more

This is a nice Italian restaurant. I was a little concerned pulling up in the not-so-well-kept plaza, but the people in the restaurant were fairly friendly and the ambiance was pretty good. I had the penne alla vodka. The vodka sauce and chicken were good albeit a little overwhelming towards the end such that I could not finish the dish. I tried my wife's fusilli campagnola and the Italian sausage was outstanding - perhaps the best I have tasted! I should note that they initially messed up the order and served her chicken instead, but they did correct it with a side of sausage. The ginger peach whiskey smash was a nice drink, better than the overly sweet maple old fashioned. The little Italy drink was solid too but not as good as the ginger peach whiskey. This was a nice meal to end a busy conference day. read more

Family dinner tonight at Toscana's and it was so good. We started with apps, antipasto, heirloom tomato a special, eggplant rollatini and bruschetta. All were delicious! My meal was a special that night and was a stuffed haddock which was amazing. My husband also had a special of bone in rib eye. Other dishes were salmon limone, fruti di mare, chicken parm, chicken Marsala, seafood risoto and veal parm. Everyone enjoyed theirs meals. Our server was wonderful and took good care of us. The only thing keeping this from 5 star was that the meals came out at different times and we told others to eat while theirs were hot. Other than that it was great. read more

This used to be my favorite place in the area. What happened?? I ordered 3 meals over $80. Two of them were horrible. The chicken on both meals was dry and had that funny chicken taste. I had Chicken Marsala and the Marsala sauce was totally off. The Vodka Penne was dry and clumpy sauce tasted basically horrible. Unappealing to the eye as well. Both meals seemed thrown together with last weeks chicken. This was my Birthday meal I was so bummed out. I really feel there must be NEW owners because the food was that horrible. Waste of money. This place is too expensive to present food like this....Olive Garden was better than what they gave me!!!!!!! NO LIE read more

I used to order baked haddock every week from here. About a year ago they decided to discontinue it and instead have bake stuffed haddock.

What a hidden gem! This is the second time I have come here this year and it won't be the last! Off of route one this Italian spot is very convenient and the inside is gorgeous. Great for dates, groups, or even parties with their event space. My swordfish was cooked perfectly and we really enjoyed the martinis! Our server was also very good! read more

I'm not sure why this restaurant has such a high rating. The shrimp on the shrimp scampi bruschetta was rubbery and overcooked, and the tomatoes tasted spoiled or off. The carbonara sauce was separated and the white sangria was just white wine watered down with sparkling water and ice served in a small wine glass. All talk of berries and orange was crap. Couldn't taste any of that and the dried orange slice with the straw stuck through it was too big for the tiny glass and just sat on top like a lid. The clams in the penne allá vodka had sand in there. Not good. On the good side, the calamari was nice and crisp and the service was good. Which is why they get 2 stars. I think we expected too much from this place. read more

Ordered pizza last night (take out) and it was wonderful! Delicious crust, generous toppings, came out of the box still nice and hot, and the undercarriage was perfect. I'm pretty fussy about my pizza, by the way. Will definitely be going back soon to try other menu items. read more

Money, this place is MONEY! Always a delicious meal, you simply will not go wrong here. Once again a takeout night, the food travels pretty well we are about 25- 30 Minutes North and the food can make that ride still be nice and hot even on the coldest winter night! But the food is even better at the restaurant! I simply can't stray from the frutti Di Mare Fra Diavlo and the bride loves the Chicken Marsala fresh homade pasta it's always great! Try it you will love it! read more

This is based on only takeout so I can't speak on the ambience or the service besides the people who were taking our orders and picking them up. We got the chicken broccoli ziti half tray and there were about 20 people in line waiting for people to take their names and get their orders. Chicken broccoli Ziti was some of the best I've ever had and I wish the broccoli was cooked a little more but the sauce and chicken was delicious. read more

A group of 5 friends and I went out for dinner last night. Thank goodness we had a reservation as the restaurant was packed when we arrived at 6:30pm. We were quickly seated and immediately greated by Danielle, our waitress, who provided excellent service throughout our meal. The warm rolls served with delicious garlicky olive oil started our meal off right. I got the chicken marsala with homemade fusilli. The portion was very generous, the chicken was tender, the sauce was flavorful, but the pasta lacked flavor. Each of us enjoyed our meals and several of us took leftovers home. I didn't get a photo of my meal because I couldn't wait to dive in! This is a great place to get good Italian food. read more

Been eating there for years. Top notch food Not a bad item on the menu they also make great cocktails

Fantastic meal. Portions are generous and reasonably priced. So glad we found this, definitely one of our new favorites!

Went to Toscana yesterday for dinner and it was so good! The service was amazing but I think it's because the person I was with was a regular. Nevertheless they were attentive and brought extra bread for the table. The oil to dip was amazing. For apps we had the calamari which was okay! For the entrees I had the linguine with clams and baby that was the star of the show. It was soooooo good. The second entree my date had the eggplant Parm. I had some and it was 10/10. Amazing! Overall I am definitely coming back! read more

I ordered delivery on Saturday night. Hubs got the chicken parm, which he said was very generous in portion and flavored well. The only ding is that it was slightly soggy due to steaming a bit in transit. I opted for the short rib ravioli in a mushroom sauce, which hit the spot and then some. It was very nicely seasoned and also generous in portion. Delivery was super fast, and the food arrived hot. I will definitely order from them again, or, better yet, dine in soon! read more

Food is always amazing and great service! Staffing very friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend!

This place is such a hidden gem. The waitress that helped us was one of the best servers I have ever had so helpful nice and read the specials to us. She was so great. The space is nice authentic not too overwhelming the decor the bar the lighting overall is nice for lunch and dinner and you can tell that they care about an authentic feel. The food is also so delicious and well made and there is so much detail to every plate. read more

Toscana's catered a family event last week and the food was amazing! All of it! Highly recommen!

We had such a nice time at Toscana's. It was a family gathering for Valentine's Day. Reservations were made and honored. There's plenty of space for family gathering or even something like a party of 8 which is the size we had reservations for. I'll be honest, from the outside it looked a little bit sketchy and I almost missed it but to be fair it was dark and chilly out. There was plenty of parking in the lot so that's not a worry. The staff was super nice and our host was very attentive and helpful as well. The owner came by to check on us too and see how everything was going. We got a variety of dishes for dinner and they were all plentiful and filling. It was so filling we ended up taking some home. Every single dish was good to the taste buds!!! They also had some menu items for kids, it's not pictured but we got spaghetti and meatballs and ravioli. There's also a variety of cocktails and drinks on the menu. Honestly, this is a good Italian spot to go out to in the North shore! I would definitely return again. read more

My wife and I frequently dine here and usually have pretty good experience. Tonight however we had ordered veal parmigiana and I had veal parm with eggplant (the presidente). No appetizers ordered, just main entrees. We were starting to enjoy dinner when we both cut into the veal after a few bites, we noticed how thin the veal actually was paper thin with about quarter of an inch of breaded coating on each side of veal in both of our dishes. Couldn't even taste the veal. We mentioned this to the waitress and had cut a piece of veal from each dish to show the waitress and her response was oh you should've told me earlier I would have fixed it. Meanwhile not even a third of the entree was eaten at this point and left us speechless. We thought the waitress was going to get someone like a manager or something but she came back and asked us if we want to take the rest home. We declined and were very disappointed. Seems like this place is cutting corners and not cutting enough meat. read more

Toscana's was always a good local restaurant that we often took our family too many times over the years and we never had a complaint until now. My husband and I did try the new location when it opened in Peabody and we were not impressed with that Location and our experience. We preferred this restaurant until now and sadly we will not be returning. There are other restaurants that are serving much better food than what we experienced the other night. I know it was Valentine's night and it was more crazy than usual having turned the function room into more space for regular dinning. Yes, if it was a regular night and a function was going on they could have had the same amount of people to feed. However what was happening that night was not the same as a planned function. They would have known ahead of time what food was needed. They would have had the food order prepared and it would not have stressed out the kitchen staff like it did on Valentine's night. Putting tables in the function room and taking all those separate orders cooked on the spot added to the problem. A function usually is a buffet also which is less stressful on the staff. They did not have enough staff to handle the situation. There should have been a set menu if they wanted to expand for Valentines Dinner or maybe consider some sort of a buffet. Maybe they would get more people in and out next time. The woman at the hostess stand was nice but was definitely overwhelmed with the phone and people coming in. There should have been two on that night. If there was a second hostess there that night, they were not there when the phone was ringing off the wall and the one greeting is was overwhelmed. Our waitress was wonderful and I would give her five stars. None of this was her fault. She worked her butt off. I watched her work those tables going non stop checking on everyone. She had a great personality and she was always trying to make things right when they were going bad for us. We could tell she cared and they need more like her. The young man bringing food to the tables was so confused with the temporary table set up in the function room that he did not know table numbers and he kept trying to find correct tables. The water pitcher filled with the water they pour into all of drinking glasses on the tables in the function room sits just outside the entry way to the function room. It basically sits in the main front lobby of the restaurant opposite of the hostess stand where everyone walking in and out of the restaurant passes by. This to me is unsanitary because there is a high risk of someone sneezing or talking who lets out spit when speaking as they pass by that high traffic area. That function room was cold with a constant draft with the door open because the front door opens and closes non stop. Time to tell you about our food experience. Apps were special for the night and the waitress suggested the mushrooms. We ordered them and waited. We got our bread and waited. Drinks came and we still waited. We waited over a half hour and we got lobster/Crab cakes. We told the waitress and she said she would order the mushrooms but to enjoy the app we got at no charge. They were good and we liked them. I ordered a special Valentine's Day Cocktail with sparkle but I could not see it unless I held the light on the phone up to it. We waited and waited and the mushrooms finally came but by now we had been there one an a half hours. The mushrooms were very good and the only good thing about the dinner. Our salads came and they were ok not bad about average. Then my fish casserole came and my husband's Saltimbocca. His dish was bland and he only eat one chicken breast. This is unusual for him. My dish, honestly was the worst casserole of any fish casserole that I have ever had. My best and only description is that it tasted like dirty water. No butter, just yucky brown fish water, I am guessing and some awful spice. I literally could only eat four bites of it. Our waitress noticed that I did not eat it and asked if everything was ok. We were honest with her and she took it off our bill. It was that bad that I could only eat a few bites. Later that night we both had a sick stomach feeling. We both still had it the next day but it got better as the day went on and by night it was gone. My husband and I dine at many places all over the Boston area and at many different price levels. I feel my reviews are fair and I should do more of them considering how many places I dine and my experience. I felt this one needed one because they can make positive corrections and get back to where they were when we liked going there. The apps that night were very good but they need to step back and work on other areas they are lacking. Correct the areas that can easily be corrected. Sometimes places grow and get too big and they forget where they started. read more

I had been looking forward to trying this place for a while. Wish I waited longer! My meal was awful. I got the Cacio e Pepe. Tasted like it was microwaved pasta with a piece of cheese over it. Was not served hot at all and the flavor was awful. I couldn't even take two bites of it. Waitress never came back to ask how we were or I would have spoke up. When she finally showed up, she asked if I wanted a box and I said no. She never asked if it was ok and just walked away. I have sent several emails to the restaurant and no response at all. Really bad customer service in my opinion. I was hoping for a response prior to writing this but it's been over a week and they don't seem to care. read more
