Tuscan Kitchen Seaport - Lobster pasta. - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Came in on an early Tuesday evening for our anniversary. We were the only table when we got there so had some pretty fantastic service. We started with the breaded mozzarella which came with 3 different kinds of pesto, it was all really yummy but there was more pesto than mozzarella, would have liked a more even serving. We split an order of the truffle ravioli which was fantastic, not overly saucy, and the truffle was delicious but not over powering. The veal chop was a little rare and wasn't my favorite. We finished with the chocolate cake which was amazing, not overly sweet but paired nicely with the gelato. read more

Tuscan Kitchen is in a fantastic location with a gorgeous interior. The food and service are a different story. Our server was borderline rude. The food was meh. Of all the great restaurants in this area, I will not go back to this place. read more

Might be the worst service in Boston. Here with 3 adults and 3 kids at 3 in the afternoon. I am looking at easily 25 people who work here who are not busy. It has been 55 minutes and we've had 1 drink. Server no where to be seen. read more

I am a regular at Tuscan, by far one of the best restaurants in the city. All the pastas are amazing and the Bolognese here is the best Bolognese in the entire city. The veal chop and Tomahawk are amazing and always cooked perfectly. The service here is amazing and the bartenders are the best. Always ask for Anjha or Lulu at the bar and they will make your visit here perfect. Nimesh the executive chef is wonderful and always comes around to make sure your meal is cooked perfectly. No other restaurant chef does that. Luis has the largest wine selection and always picks you a great Italian Wine to Pair with your meal. If you haven't visited Tuscan make sure its your next restaurant to visit especially if your in the Seaport! read more

Seaport definitely needed a restaurant like this. The food here is incredible and the space is beautiful. They have everything here; pastas, pizzas, seafood, steak, cannolis, and gelato. The standout is the tagliatelle with truffles, the chef comes out and shaved them right on your plate. Can't wait to come back! read more

I got this terrible service from this service girl (Valerina) The food arrived at a great time, and the food was good, but the service was really bad read more

I got their eggs Benedict and the eggs were over cooked and there was a huge piece of shell in the food! The sauce was good but there should have been more of it. The potatoes weren't very good. Service was fine, biggest disappointment was the food. read more

Late on a busy Saturday night with a big conference at the Convention Center. Beautiful dining room, obviously upscale spot & seemed very popular. Lots of seafood / steak options but 1 chicken dish. We opted for the Bolognese (gluten free for my companion) & were very unimpressed. $30 parking & $150 for 2 small, unsatisfying, bolognese dishes & 3 glasses of meh wine. Not my kinda place I guess! read more

We did the Chef's Table last night for 9 people. It was AMAZING! It was a 5 course meal that the chef curated especially for us. He was so accommodating because one person in the party is gluten free. I worked with Charlie to organize it and he was so helpful and easy going, he just wanted us to enjoy ourselves and have a good time and that's exactly what we did! Thanks Charlie and your team for a wonderful evening! read more

Came here for brunch and was definitely satisfied. Ordered ricotta pancakes and partner ordered the uova benedicto. Pancakes had three smaller sized pancakes and tons of strawberries and ricotta, not too sweet. Truffle eggs Benedict were fantastic and would definitely order again. Portions might be small but they are definitely filling. read more

Overpriced basic Italian. Skip this and head to the North End for delicious scratch-made food from local vendors.

This place hits so many of the right notes!! To qualify my review let me say that I've lived in Boston for 15 years and generally enjoy French, New American, Asian Fusion, Italian and Mediterranean Cuisine. With Tuscan Kitchen, my wife and I wanted a fine dining lunch experience where Ambience mattered as much as food. - Food and Wine = 4.5/5, have lived had better Pasta in Boston? Yes but the presentation and pairings were just excellent and we had 3 courses that left us very satisfied! - Service = 5/5, white table cloths, excellently trained staff, just enough attention, great timing and spacing of courses. - Ambience = 6/5! Very spacious, beautiful interior, very classy. - Value = 5/5 for a fine dining experience especially lunch! We spent $120 with 2x $20 wines, a shared salad, 2 pastas, 2 desserts and 2 coffees. Warning: do not expect validation! It cost us $36 for 2 hours!! Look for street parking or park in another garage if you want to save a few $ read more

Dined here with a friend on 3/18. It was just an ok experience. Prosciutto de Parma was actually quite good w/ the accompanying honey. The martinis I ordered were fine, too. I had the seared scallops, which were cooked nicely. However, the sauce & mashed sweet potato were too sweet together and the cook on roasted carrots were inconsistent with each one (comes with 3 for reference.). My friend had the roasted chicken and seemed to like it, but it looked pretty dry to me. Our waiter was the absolute worst... he forgot to bring our drinks on 2 separate occasions and forgot to bring us the bill after we asked. He seemed more laser focused on the larger parties seated in our section. We sat for a 7pm reservation and didn't end up leaving the table until 9:30. It was the dinner that wouldn't end. I won't be rushing back to this location. read more

My spouse got food poisoning from this restaurant on Saturday night. I would not recommend getting the Halibut as that is what made her sick. It was our anniversary dinner so, we were very disappointed in the quality of the food. Additionally, I only wanted to go here because I saw on the Phantom Gourmet television show that the Tagliatelle was made in a Parmesan cheese wheel which I thought that they would showcase table side as advertised on the show. This did not happen - although my pasta dish was delicious. Either way- we won't be returning to a place that made one of us severely ill. read more

After hearing fabulous things about Tuscan, I was excited to experience the kitchen. I stopped in with two friends and waited in a long line before entering. I was surprised at how quickly the staff were able to turn over tables. We entered our names and were quickly sat for dinner outside under the tent. As my party and I walked in we commented on how beautiful of a night it was and how many large parties there were. We were sat near the kitchen trailer. Sadly, we learned that the 'outdoor menu' had limited options which was not made clear when we decided to sit outside. We sat down and were given menus and did not have a server return for 30 minutes, no water or inquiry whatsoever. Despite seeing multiple servers running, yes running around we did not see our specific server. Sitting outside under the tent would have been beautiful but guests were extremely unruly, and the servers were running and sweating. The entire ambiance seemed hectic and stressful. After 45 minutes of no drinks or food in the heat we decided to ask another server to find help. A server came over and we put it a round of drinks. The server later returned to take our food order and failed to write the order down. After returning twice to confirm our orders he delivered some sort of seafood salad, which we did not order. We then put in a round of tequila shots, and they were complete water. I received my Bolognese pasta dish with NO MEAT, only sauce. My friend's flatbread was uncooked, and my other friend received the seafood salad rather than Caesar. The server could sense the frustration and decided to bring over complementary shots to smooth things over. The complementary shots were sweet and tasted like water, we noticed later that the server had been delivering the same peace offering to tables around us. Lastly before leaving I wanted to stop in the restroom and learned there was no toilet paper or running water. This was absolutely appalling to me that the restaurant was open during the COVID-19 pandemic without running water in their outdoor restrooms. The food quality, service, and overall ambiance was terrible. read more

This place was one of the worst dining experiences I've had. I had dinner here with my significant other and two other couples a few weekends ago. As we ordered our meal, I told the waiter that I had a tree nut allergy he made note and also said he had eaten every dish multiple times. I ordered the butternut squash ravioli which the description on the menu did not include any tree nut products and the waiter didn't mention anything. After waiting over and hour for food, all of the people at our table were served their entree except for me. The waiter then expressed there was an almond flour in the ravioli and would I like to order something else. I am now the only person without a meal and now I have to order something else and make everyone else wait. It took me waving down the waiter to come back and take my second order. He apologized for the inconvenience and offered me a free dessert (didn't matter that I'm also not a dessert person and had zero plan on ordering something else that would extend our stay) After waiting longer for my actual meal and keeping the other people at the table waiting, I received my pasta Bolognese (easiest and quickest thing I figured to order). The table then wanted to order dessert since we'd get a free one. We order and once we get the bill at the end of the night, dessert has been charged (as well as a full sized portion of pasta someone had ordered instead of the half sized portion that was actually ordered - we didn't catch this the first look at the bill and we had now stayed 3 hours and no one had the stamina to fix yet another mistake). The waiter took off the charged dessert but this whole experience was unacceptable. The almond flour ingredient in the pasta should 100% be mentioned on the menu, the waiter should've have told me once I ordered that there was a nut included or the chef should've told him so I could have reordered a meal and not let everyone else wait AND our bill should've been correct from the get go. The real kicker is that my boyfriend was so appalled at the way our party was treated, he sent an email directly to Tuscan Kitchen to describe our experience to make sure they were aware and this wouldn't happen with any other customers. We have not heard anything from the restaurant. No acknowledgement whatsoever. I would highly recommend that this establishment practice better customer service and make sure to include nut products on their menu. read more

Great food , great service. Would be a great date night to start there and then goto bowling next door. All in the same building. Perfect for a cold night. read more

Very poor customer service. The waiter was not very attentive. Empty dishes and glasses were left on the table and the waiter never returned to see if we needed anything after the food was served. read more

Loved this place! They are brand new and on the expensive side, but the meals are extremely filling - you get what you paid for. They brought out this delicious, two year old, imported, aged cheese. I had the Gnocchi and it was fantastic. The meals came out on time, and the waiter explained the menu well. I'll definitely try it out again! read more

Tuscan Kitchen Seaport - Wild boar gnocchi - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I ordered the roasted half chicken which ended up being two extremely dry chicken legs with no white meat included at all. The panchetta lardons were rubbery and there were plethora of nuts on my plate with hardly any spinach. I couldn't cut my chicken because it was so over cooked. The caesar salad was not spectacular either for a dinner at this price point I expected the quality to match the atmosphere and it was completely lack luster. EDIT: I received a quick response from a manager asking for a way to turn this situation around however 1 week later there has been no follow through at all which just heaps more disappointment to the pile of disappointment that was my depressingly dry chicken dinner so I took an additional star from my already dismal rating of Tuscan Kitchen. read more

Returned for an event. All states were overcooked by the pasta was under cooked. When it was mentioned to the white stuff it was just oops sorry and we were generally ignored. This place is just an avoid - simply stated they don't care because somebody else will take your place. Drinks and appetizers were okay but the meals just plain and simple were not. Yuck. read more

Awesome ambiance, great attentive service and tasty food. I want to personally thank the general manager Charlie for making our experience spectacular,and we felt like home. He went above and beyond. Thanks for showing us what hospitality truly is and making us feel like VIP. read more

I was looking forward to a great experience and they delivered! I mean just look at this Tomahawk Ribeye! and the flavor was just as good as it looks! Super tender, fell right off the bone, and had a great balance of flavor! The sides that came with it were this creamy and soft Mascarpone & Parmigiano Whipped Potatoes and I was in love. I had to stop myself from ordering another one! We also chose a side of Toasted Garlic Spinach and it was okay- Not a big fan of spinach but if that's your thing for it! Along with the steak we also got the Lobster Ravioli that comes with Rock shrimp and crushed red pepper. The pasta and lobster meat was super fresh! I do wish there were more red pepper flakes so you can feel the heat and more shrimpies, but all in all a pretty good dish if you're looking for something light! OMG AND THAT DRINK!? I had 2 of those Peach Martinis! Just wow! So tasty and fruity! You don't even taste the alcohol which is always a plus. The service was also something I wanted to highlight. It was amazing!! The staff went above and beyond to make sure our food came out in time and that we felt safe and comfortable and the manager was super nice! read more

Tuscan seaport always delivers a great experience! I brought my staff here for the first night out since COVID. I always ask for Miro or Mario and tonight we got Mario Morales. Top rate service. From the drinks to the apps to the sides we were able to just speak with Mario about he recommended, and he brought the goods. Drinks were delicious, wine recommendations both a sparking and a Tuscan were great. The banter with my staff was entertaining. Even great tips on getting seating in the popular outside garden this summer. Charlie Wright the manager is doing something right. Service is attentive and well timed right through dessert. read more

I've eaten at Tuscan Kitchen a few times, and been continuously impressed. They take Italian food to the next level, and it is super tasty. This Tuscan Kitchen is enormous, and vast, and it feels upscale and welcoming. My friend and I dined after seeing a movie at the Icon, and we both obviously got pasta. He said that it was the best pasta that he's ever had - I do think it's really delicious, but I don't think the price is worth the value. I think it's just a personal thing - if I want pasta, I want to feel cozy and intimate, this feels slightly corporate and salesy to me. If you're looking for delicious Italian food, I'd say head to the North End - specifically Giacamo's, but that's just personal preference! read more

Went here during Covid, the precaitions this place took are amazing. Great service and amazing food. Personally for the lobster ravioli and would rate it a 10/10. Highly recommend. Mario and Charlie are a dynamic duo. read more

They're still trying to figure out outdoor dining. Slow service, don't drink the water that comes to the table, just saying. Host and Hostess pretty clueless on how to handle large parties. How to seat them and keep them happy. Truly a staffing shortage. If you have abundant time to kill give it a try. Otherwise go to Ciscos for the drinks. read more

Please go elsewhere for Italian in Boston. Atmosphere is nice, food is mediocre at best and customer service is horrible. Why would someone go to this overpriced place with all the great Italian restaurants nearby. We had visibly dirty water glasses, cocktails served in visibly broken glasses, no apology or notice by workers for either. We had to point these out. Service was terrible. Waiter took our appetizer order and walked away. We had no where to put our menus and he never came back to take entree orders until we were completely done with our appetizers. The waiter also only asked one member of our table about drinks after three visits to the table. I finally asked if others were allowed to order drinks as well. Lol The food was presented well but borderline tasteless all around. Seriously, the meatball appetizer tasted like meat taken right out of the package and cooked with 0 seasoning. The only flavor was the slight iron taste beef generally has. The sauce had almost no flavor as well. The main entrees bolognese and lobster ravioli were passable, possibly even good at a price around $15.95, for $28 and $34 respectively, no way. Management could care less about customers. They sent me a survey and I filled it out with nicely with constructive criticism. They sent me a standard email saying they want my business and that I should call or email them about trying them again. I called them 3 times and responded to the email twice with NO response. No care what so ever. Please visit one of the many local family owned restaurants in the north end district. Skip Tuscan Kitchen. We will not be back. read more

Mind you, I've only sat at the bar, but I've been to Tuscan Kitchen a couple of times and have enjoyed my experience. I have found the perfect meal for me.....which is a ceasar salad and a Polpetto pizza. Yum! The ceasar is nicely dressed and isn't too pungent. (Although with this romaine lettuce scare I'm not sure if they are serving it right now). The pizza is delicious. Although it's fire grilled, I've never had the crust overly charred. There is the right amount of sauce on it and it's perfectly hearty and seasoned, the cheese is perfectly melted, and the meatballs are perfect! The bartender I've sat with has always been very friendly and attentive, and I have no complaints. I think it's the perfect place to go to before or after a movie and I'm already looking forward to my next visit! read more

Tuscan kitchen now has outdoor seating, the area is beautiful! The food and drinks were amazing! But my favorite part was the service!! Mario was so attentive and took great care of me and my friends! 10/10 recommend I will definitely be going back. We got oysters, buratta, charcuterie board, pizza, and of course drinks. Everything was good read more

I am disappointed in the customer service. I am visiting from California and this restaurant was recommended by friends that live in the city. I was told I didn't need a reservation and when arriving at the restaurant I was told I couldn't be accommodated because they only had two servers on a Monday night that was slow. There were maybe 10 guests total in the entire restaurant. I found it extremely rude and beyond disappointing, especially being that I am from out of town. This should be a ZERO STAR!! read more

Meh; but interesting!! Most of the food was REALLY freakin good. I had boar ragu, hubster got the lobster rav, kids had cheese rav, and tortelli. Only real complaint was the odd YUGE "shaving" or black truffle on the cheese rav. However....server was very very interested in her boyfriend sitting near us. It was like that scene in "European Vacation" when they are in France: Rusty: "I think he's gonna pork her dad!" Clark: "He's not gonna pork her Russ." Clark looks: "Okay, maybe he is gonna pork her." She was so much more interested in him that she forgot to put our bottle of wine through their POS. She clearly told the (obnoxiously loud) wine manager which bottle to bring to our table, he did, and she never entered it. Ok, free wine; but I'm a veteran of the industry and this in not acceptable. Why did I not bring it to their attention? Well, I did when I freakin ordered the bottle. Not my responsibility if they hire incompetent servers. We rarely (like once every 5 years) order dessert. We tried the tiramisu. Which was GREAT, soft, boozey, cakey, coffeeee(?)...except the paper. The final third had wet parchment under it. I understand how these things happen which is why I've never allowed my pastry chefs (why is it not cheves, wolf is wolves??) to NOT PUT FILM UNDER TIRAMISU. Of course it's gonna sog through. Overall, whatever, none if this is a big deal (unless you own the place and your servers are giving away wine) but the prices are exorbitant for what you get. Red flag should've been so many open tables on a Saturday night. Bottom line, plan ahead better than we did, and go elsewhere. read more

I came here tonight with my boyfriend for Valentine's Day dinner and received the best service. I had Yazid as a server and he was superb. He made great suggestions and was very knowledgeable of the food they serve. Also the managers Kyle, Mark and Charlie are amazing. They made sure we were well attended and that we had a fabulous experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant as the service is impeccable and the food is quite delicious. read more

Lovely place and attentive service but the food was very disappointing. Gnocchi were mushy, fish was over seasoned and overcooked.

My friend and I have been to Tuscan Kitchen multiple times but it was our first time at this location. Mario was fantastic! He was super inviting and super fun. He was extremely knowledgeable about the menu choices and ensured that everyone in our party was well cared for. We definitely will be coming back often for he set the bar extremely high with his service and awesome attitude! Overall the restaurant itself had a great vibe and it has a great view of seaport blvd. read more

My wife our daughter and I chose Tuscan Kitchen-Seaport to celebrate our 65th Anniversary. This without doubt was one of the best restaurant experiences we have ever had and we have traveled far and wide over the years. The evening started with Janice, the hostess coming down from the second floor to greet us at the front door to assist us in any way she could. After we were seated at a beautifully situated table we were presented with a card signed by members of the wait staff and management thanking us for choosing Tuscan Kitchen. The service, the ambiance and of course the food could not have been surpassed. After dinner the GM presented us with a delicious complimentary dessert arrangement. We cannot believe how we were treated like we were royalty. You may not get the same treatment until you celebrate your 65th but I guarantee you will be impressed and want to return as much as we do. read more

Came on a Thursday night with my girlfriend around dinner time with no reservation and got seated right away. The girls at the door were very happy and friendly. Asked us if we wanted to be seated near the live music which we did. The view is amazing! Got greeted right away. Food was amazing portions were a little small. I actually checked yelp before ordering and didn't order a meal because of how small the dish was in the picture. Everything was great will definitely be back. read more
