Had a great lunch at Tuscan Kitchen! The restaurant was bright, clean, and had such a nice atmosphere. We started with the truffle fries and bread with olive oil, and both were delicious. I had the chicken Caesar sandwich, which was extremely tasty and full of flavor. Everything we ordered was fresh and really well prepared. The service was great too, and I really appreciated that the manager took the time to come over to our table and check on us. It was a nice personal touch that you don't always see. Great food, great atmosphere and a really enjoyable lunch. We'll definitely be back! read more

Mother's day reservations were all booked but they were accepting walk-in's at the high tops. Well one hostess said they weren't but I told her 5 minutes prior I was told this by her colleague so she asked and was told by the manager "yes at a high top"....awkward but that's ok. We sat and were greeted by our server, she was nice and attentive despite being busy. I ordered a glass of the May Rosé special, and my mom got a nonalcoholic rosé. We both liked ours. Then we split the crab cake appetizer which we liked, although small...one piece for almost $20. We also were brought bread which was tasty paired with an olive oil mix. I ordered the butternut squash ravioli. There were only 6 of them but a good size, I opted out of a protein since they were a little pricey. I loved my meal, the sauce was creamy and paired nicely with the filling of the raviolis. My mom ordered the scallops that came with a lobster risotto. She liked hers as well and the scallops were a pretty good size. I will say the food was good and the overall experience was enjoyable despite having a high top even when I expressed to the host and manager it would be uncomfortable for my mother. We did see other moms receive a rose but my mom did not, I think only for the reserved tables and not any paying customer. Pricey but lovely inside and food quality was good just a little on the smaller side for portions. It's in a great location at the village so you can grab a bite to eat and walk around before or after. It made for a good Mother's Day meal. read more

Had such a great experience at Tuscan Kitchen in New Hampshire! This was my first time trying a lobster roll, and it was absolutely delicious. The lobster was fresh, flavorful, and served warm with butter, which made it even better. I wasn't sure what to expect since I had never had one before, but Tuscan Kitchen definitely made a great first impression. The lobster roll was satisfying, well prepared, and full of flavor. I'm so glad I decided to try it! Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and I would definitely come back to Tuscan Kitchen for another lobster roll. read more

We visited the Tuscan Kitchen while visiting from out of town and it was well worth the trip. My wife and I have been to Italy several times and especially to the Tuscany region were we were treated to authentic cuisine every day and I can tell you the Tuscan Kitchen reminded us of our time there. Everything was excellent from the appetizer, wine to the dessert. Our server Kate was exceptional and had visited Italy as well so she allowed us to enjoy a long meal just like in Italy as the restaurant was not that busy on a Sunday night. Highly recommend! read more

Visited Tuscan Kitchen while staying at the Artisan hotel celebrating a birthday. Service was over the top, oysters were amazing. Great choice of wines. I had the short rib pasta! WOW! An abundance of short rib meat, home made pasta cooked perfectly. D had the halibut dish. It was not as hot as it should have been. Delicious, but could have been served sooner or hotter coming off the stove. Great location, beautiful restaurant, bars looked great too. Worth every penny! Cheers. read more

My family and I made a reservation for Christmas Eve night and we had a really enjoyable dinner! We were seated quickly upon arrival and were surprised with how many other families had the same idea as we did. The space was set up beautifully for the holidays and it was lively but not too loud. Our server, Bella, was so lovely! She was patient with my family as they took their time ordering, she made friendly conversation with us, and we could not have asked for better service from her. I had an espresso martini and my mom tried what I believe was called the Tuscan-tini? Regardless, we both loved our drinks. The table shared calamari and we ordered one of their 3-selection charcuterie boards. I had no complaints. Finally, for my entree I ordered the bolognese, and I thought it was yummy! Nothing too crazy but I felt it was worth the price. Overall I loved the ambiance and the service, and the food was worth going back for. It is a tad bit pricey, but that's to be expected at Tuscan Village. I think it's worth a try! read more

So I got stuck in New Hampshire during the giant 2026 snow storm. Okay, so maybe I planned appropriately and found a hotel with an attached restaurant ahead of time. I didn't expect much and wow was I surprised! So the food is all genuinely good and well prepared... but let's talk about the kids menu, because it's legit. Most kids menu are an after thought of here's some chicken nuggets. Sure, that works for most kids, I get it. But this menu actually allows the kids to try toned down or smaller versions of what their parents are trying. And I appreciate that. Anyways, loved my experience and really appreciate their efforts in getting the kids into food culture as well. read more

I have been to the old Tuscan Kitchen location in Salem, but haven't been since they relocated the main restaurant to the village. I was excited, because it was our anniversary tonight, but our experience was so poor I felt compelled to write this review. This was single handedly the worst service I've ever experienced. We arrived at 5pm, ordered our first drinks and 40 minutes went by before our waiter returned to our table. We ordered our food and received it, but by that time an entire hour had gone by and never had the opportunity to order a second drink. The place was dead. The dining room was empty and I could see our waiter in the back just hanging out with the wait staff. It was borderline embarrassing for a restaurant with $85 entrees. I will never go back. read more

The hubby and stopped here for a late lunch. Lots of unique items. The restaurant was very beautiful and elegant. The service was friendly and professional. The food was delicious and in large quantities. The price is high but the food and total experience is worth it. We were very pleased with our experience here. We definitely be coming back for a romantic dinner in the future. read more

Valentines weekend To have pricing like a fine dining restaurant and then to just abandon all fine dining etiquette is an insult to the $375 bill for 2. This is truck stop small town dinner behavior. Which I love but my bill is also 27.50 at a place like that including drinks. Even Dunkin employees can not have personal beverages on the floor.... Let's keep it classy and sanitary. read more

i've been wanting to try the original tuscan kitchen, as i have loved the seaport location for years. the tuscan market is beautiful, stocked with groceries & prepared foods, while tuscan kitchen is inside the market. the inside seating & bar are not too far from the takeout counter & dessert area, it's an interesting setup. they have a beautiful, large patio area i was lucky enough to get a table. olivia provided 5-star excellent service from beginning to end. i started with the meatballs & tried the quattro cheese ravioli. the pomodoro sauce was very good. as expected, but i felt the meatballs could have been more seasoned. the ravioli was a good texture but extremely(!) plain, they definitely could add more flavors to it. i ordered the rosso pizza instead, which was cheesy and spicy, very thin crust, not a lot of sauce or dough, just a lot of spice. they also had limited options for wine, i went with a glass of cabernet and wished i had tried something else. meatballs 7/10 quattro ravioli 2.5/10 rosso pizza 4/10 overall, i wasn't nearly as impressed with this locations food as the one in the seaport, which is a shame seeing as this is the original! i was extremely pleased with the service from olivia and the host, though. the service is excellent, ambiance is beautiful, food left a lot to be desired. ambiance: 4.5/5 food: 2.3/5 drinks: 3/5 service: 5/5 tuscan kitchen salem: 3.5/5 read more

The slowest service I've experienced at this price point. We were at the table for over 2 hours. On a weeknight. Food was good and the waiter was kind but wow is this place slow. Don't bother going. read more

I always try to say something nice but honestly the only thing nice I can say is that there was no wait, plenty of available seats. Beyond that the service was extremely slow and not very friendly. The food was mediocre: salmon was fishy and bolognese was crunchy. The noise level was high and despite all the available seating we were adjacent to the high traffic service station. Throughout the following day I dealt with an upset stomach. For over $150, we will not be returning. We should have waited for seating at the Tavern on the Green, the lack of a wait should queued us in. read more

Service: Impeccable bar tender Jordan, charming, accommodating and understanding. Food: I hate to say horrible, always room for improvement. Both of us ordered the Al Forno Pollo Con Pesto with the side salad. Great bread surrounding the very little chicken, very few tomatoes and almost absent goat cheese. Pesto had great flavor. Huge portion of bread but that does not make up for the 24.99 price tag with an additional $6 for a nearly nonexistent salad. We both had to add salt and pepper to the salad, absolutely no flavor to the dressing. Then halfway, asked for a few lemons to help with a flavor boost. We did speak up about the salad, and we were comped the $6 charge for those, again, great service does not go unnoticed. Would I return for a $30 lunch, absolutely NOT. read more

Wednesday June 10th sat at the bar with my wife. A half dozen dirty glasses in front of us. Bartender gave us menus but didn't clean up. I pushed the glasses to the side, grabbed some napkins and started cleaning. Bartender left the bar area and we had to flag down the other one to get a drink. My wife got her cosmo, or should I say a half of a cosmo. We called the Copper Door, and made a reservation for dinner. First bartender returned, I held up my CC and asked if he would cash out. He said in a minute, waited on a couple more patrons and left the bar area once again! We will never be back. Terrible service comes from the management down. BTW the Copper Door was amazing! read more

This place certainly is beautifully with their rustic-chic ambience & surrounds. Extra festive decor due to the upcoming holidays. This sprawling Italian haunt is definitely eye catching set inside the Artisan Hotel located at Tuscan Village. Serving great cocktails, a huge wine list & a very well polished Italian menu. With very attentive service, Tuscan Kitchen is perfect for any occasion. Margherita Pizza Upon walking in and noticing their giant oven, simply had to try a dish that's been made in it and it certainly did not disappoint. Pollo Arrosto Crispy skin feather head farm, fingerling potatoes, Swiss chard & tasty panchetta Filetto Di Manzo Perfectly cooked filet sitting on top of creamy whipped potato, brussels sprouts & truffle butter We were extremely hungry having just finished hours of Black Friday shopping at the nearby mall. This was our reward. read more

I want to start off by complimenting the ambiance. It was beautiful, sleek, extremely clean and had a nice settle vibe to it. The manager Ray made us feel right at home! He was not only attentive, but made us feel like his top priority. Making sure we were accommodated and asking us all the right questions that usually servers/managers don't ever even ask anymore. We really appreciated that. Ray made us feel right at home. We love going to places in which hospitality needs are truly met. Again, you don't see that often in the restaurant world anymore. I'd like to emphasize his professionalism. Very well spoken, and clean cut matching the restaurants aura. There is parking everywhere which is always a plus! THE FOOD IS AMAZING, comes fairly quick and hot, 10/10 including drinks!! This is my 3rd time coming. We travel almost an hour from Boston MA just to go, so that says a lot. Overall, AMAZING service, ambiance, area, and food/drinks. Great date night, family day, special occasion type of place :) read more

Sat at the bar, servers were terrible. Didn't pay much attention to us only to regulars and people they know. Forgot to give us a set up until the food came she forgot got two apps when we were done two servers walked by us 5 times never took the dirty dishes away but went to talk to their friends. Left and went to eat somewhere else never to go back plus the food was just ok. read more

The music was incredibly loud with unpleasant "song" choices. The waitress told us that the owner (Joe) likes the music that loud. It was impossible to even talk with the person you were sitting beside. We were a group of 14. It took 30 minutes for any beverages to arrive. When the beverages arrived the order was incorrect. One person in our party never received their food. Not worth the hype. Points also lost for not make the fancy pasta dish in the wheel of cheese table side! Will not be back. read more

It was the worst dining experience we've ever had. From the start, the service was absolutely terrible. Our waitress took forever to even take our order, and we ended up waiting over an hour and a half for our main entrees. When the food finally arrived, it was clearly rushed and of extremely poor quality. My salmon was dry and overcooked, and my husband's pasta was unbearably salty and more like a watery soup than an actual dish. To make matters worse, when we spoke to the manager about our concerns, he still charged us for the entrees we didn't even touch. We only ate the appetizer, but the main courses were completely inedible. We've also shared our frustrations with friends and family, who take our feedback very seriously since we dine out often, and this experience was unacceptable. IF I COULD GIVE IT 0 STARS I WOULD! Overall, it was a disappointing and frustrating experience, and we will not be returning. We hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously and makes the necessary improvements. read more

Had dinner here on Monday night and was a bit disappointed. There were some hits but also several misses that made it a less than great experience. The physical environment is very attractive and polished. The drinks were a fail. A mojito made with sour mix, a dehydrated lime, and a sprig of mint is not a mojito. Lazy bartender or is this the standard? It was not a good drink. The caprese appetizer had three pieces of tomato, two were mushy quarters from a standard supermarket tomato, not good. And where was the basil?? Would never order this again. The bolognese and the fussili and shrimp dishes were good. We skipped dessert. The service was good but bordered on obnoxious. The restaurant was not busy so our waiter stopped to check on us every 3-5 minutes. It became annoying and disruptive to our conversation. Overall, not a great experience. read more

I've been wanting to love the new Tuscans since it moved locations and totally changed. Sure the ambience is beautiful - but the vibe is completely different. Menu is different, vibe is different and it just doesn't hit the heart like it used to. I 100% miss the old Tuscan. The hostessses are not friendly. The chairs slide too much- they need to put footers on them or add non slip rugs under the tables. It makes it almost dangerous for kids and even the high chairs slide. read more

Went for lunch around 12:15 and sat in the porch or at this point a hot house. The menu is very limited, and to be honest not that good. They have a very limited sandwich selection with so much more possible with that deli. What was delivered was so saturated with olive oil and cold soggy vegetables it was hard to eat. Sadly we left more than we ate. The wait staff friendly and very nice. We saw her three times, took order, delivered order, and gave bill. No refills or a basic check. Overpriced for the illusion of quality or just so pretentious the word quality and service got lost. read more

I have gone to this restaurant many times and one of the first times that I went here was during COVID. The overall experience every time was amazing. This is the perfect spot for a date night or a nice night out with your friends. The drinks are phenomenal and strong. I love myself the Espresso Martini. I love the ambiance of the restaurant. The last time that my fiancé and i went we got a charcuterie board for an appetizer. It was the perfect size for the both of us. I enjoyed the Filet Mignion. It was flavorful and the presentation was amazing. My fiance went with a pasta dish which he also loved. The waiter/waitresses that assisted us were always prompt and more than happy to recommend or suggest based off what we wanted to eat. read more

Tuscan Kitchen Salem - FILET MIGNON* - Italian Near Me - Salem, New Hampshire

First, I would like to say that we have eaten at Tuscan restaurant several times throughout the years but my visit with my husband on Saturday, July 5th was not a good one. My husband and I chose your Salem location to have an early dinner. The waitress asked us for allergies and we emphasized that I have a mushroom allergy and my husband has a tree nut allergy. We both surveyed your menu and carefully picked 2 drinks, Oysters and calamari appetizers and 2 of the Filet with potato and a vegetable entrees. We were assured there were no nuts or mushrooms in any of the order. The waitress even went back to the kitchen to confirm before accepting the order. Appetizers came and went and then the entrees came. The server asked if we wanted the gob of butter on the steak melted and we said yes. I took my first and then 2nd bite of steak enjoying it when I saw a piece of something that looked like a mushroom. My husband called the waitress over that took our order and she took the plate back to the kitchen to confirm. When she came back, she verified that bit was indeed mushrooms that was in the truffle butter "gob" on our steaks that was melted and due to the melting process, they were not readily apparent. She was very apologetic but that did not take away the fact that due to the lack of responsibility of your kitchen and staff, I was up all night with hives, itchy, red, scratchy throat. Thank god I took 2 Benadryl earlier that afternoon for a runny nose. It assisted me in fighting the mushroom allergy. And thank goodness my allergies to mushrooms are not severe enough to cause fatal issues. The waitress offered to have the meal remade without the butter. My husband waited 15 minutes until a new meal came out to me, at which point his meal was now cold so I asked to have it boxed to take home. That evening was filled with more Benadryl, red itchy patches all over my face, throat, neck, chest... I awoke this morning to a swollen left side of my face, some left over hives under my left eye and red rashy neck and chest. This was my experience during our visit to this restaurant and $182.00 meal. I was given a free appetizer worth $9.00 for causing me this distress which I find in insulting and in extremely poor professional taste. Given the liability of this establishment had and their failure to know the menu and its hidden and not specified ingredient allergen contents, this issue could have been so much worse if I had a more severe allergy. I have emailed this location. We'll see how they respond. read more

We are staying one night at the artisan . We decided to order room service from the Tuscan kitchen since it's connected to the hotel. We ordered a pizza, Bolognese, cookies, and the apple crostada. The pizza was ok at best, and it was easily the best part of our order. The bolognese had a strange flavor to it. Definitely NOT worth the price. The cookies were rock hard. And for $15 dollars, you only get a few. The apple crostada was meh. Again, very small portion for the price. The gelato that comes with it was truthfully the best part of it. Overall, very disappointed with both the price for quantity as well as overall taste. The room service was fast and easy though, that's the only reason they are receiving 1 star instead of 0. read more

Tuscan Kitchen Salem - $15 stale cookies and $13 cold apple crostada - Italian Near Me - Salem, New Hampshire

I would echo what many are saying about this place. Food is mediocre at best. I saw that someone posted that the salmon was overcooked. That was our experience as well. Do the managers read the reviews? If they had they'd take note, or they don't care. I got the Bolognese which was a small portion and average tasting at best. As far as the service is concerned, it took 2 1/2 hours. We got no mixed drinks. Everyone got sodas and water, which should come out quickly. They did not. The waiter was perturbed when we indicated we needed more time after telling us a main course (butter nut squash ravioli) was out (at noon on a Saturday). The atmosphere is nice, but as others have said, the music is distracting. (Think club music). So with overpriced not blow me away food, bad service, and long wait times to receive everything, I would say I'd pass on going again. read more

So for us, this location has started to go downhill... and the experience does not reflect how it started off- or the price we paid for the meal. - We ordered a half dozen oysters but ran into a couple issues. Several of them had shells in it- but one oyster in particular was broken during shucking... we were only given a half bottom shell, filled with broken bits of shell, the meat not taken off the shell, and because the shell was broken in half, all the liquid was gone. When we mentioned/showed this to our bartender after we finished (we were sitting at the bar) she said "oh that's weird" then just took them and walked away. - We ordered the rigatoni with duck... which had great flavor, but the pasta was not drained after being cooked, so the bottom of the plate was thin soup. I had seen others around us who ordered the same, and it came out much different. - We had wanted to order a glass of port after our meal, but when we asked the bartender to taste one before purchasing, she told us the wine list was all by bottle and it was not possible to taste anything. We explained this is dessert wine which is by the glass, she rolled her eyes at us and sent someone else over- who was very helpful. - I ordered a glass of Laphroiag and half way into it, noticed there was old food stuck to the inside bottom of my glass that had not been cleaned off. It was replaced, but again off-putting and not the level of quality we have come to expect. We emailed the address for escalation and resolution of issues, but unfortunately never heard back. So Yelp it is. read more

Only 4 stars because I didn't love the host, my boyfriend did though. BUT had Olivia as our waitress and she was wonderful!!!

Food is fair to middlin, but expensive for the quality, service is inattentive, and confused. 6 people for a birthday party. We sat down, one menu was empty with nothing in it. No big deal, but they were confused how it happened, not really our problem, just get another menu, unfortunately that took a while. minor but it was an omen of what was to come Drinks took forever, wine was reasonably priced, most are overpriced, my cocktail was delicious. Our waitress, Ava, was pelassant, but rarely seen, very inept service when she was around, and generally absolutely inattentive. Ava was working a large party, and simply neglected our table. The best I can say about her service was, she refilled our water glasses once, pretty low bar, but maybe not for Salem NH. I will eschew commentary on the food, but the general impression of the table was "mixed" at best At one point, Ava came out , and discretely inquired what the birthday boy would like for dessert. We told her. I must admit I've never had this happen in a restaurant before, most simply take whatever the celebrant orders and jam a candle in it, but for the time being I was impressed, and thought this must be a Tuscan Kitchen specialty presentation. Mind you our entree plates were still on the table, and some of us were still eating. Plates were cleared, nd immediately the birthday dessert comes out for the celebrant. No one else had placed a dessert order, which caused this poor soul to sit there and eat his dessert alone. We had to flag down a runner, and tell him we wanted to order dessert. Ava finally arrived to take our dessert order, but by the time the desserts arrived, we had already sung happy birthday, and all the presents were opened. Manager walked around in a pair of faded jeans, totally disinterested with what was going on at any of the tables, I never saw her scan the room once. Her strong suit is not "front of the house." One of our party had reservations for 7 for Thanksgiving at Tuscan Kitchen, those have been cancelled, We paid $500 for a Birthday dinner, only to have our server ruin, not only the birthday dinner, but also the reputation of Tuscan Kitchen in our eyes. Staff needs to be trained better, manager needs to be able to"manage". If you're going to serve mediocre food at city prices , at least make an attempt at decent service. Good riddance to Tuscan Kitchen , none of us will ever eat there again. read more

Can you say "great reset" techno experience? I used to love the other Tuscan Kitchen location, not particularly for the food, but instead because of its Tuscany charm. Well, that is completely gone. Regrettably, what has taken its place is an upscale-ish, devoid-of- romance technocratic environment. I'll explain. I made a reservation for the main dining area last week but was seated in a comfortable high top against the wall in the bar section. The place was packed, and hardcore techno music was blaring the entire evening. How the heck did this place go from Bocelli/Sinatra tunes at the other locale to what I experienced at the newer location? No bueno. And the food? Pricey and average at best. Sellout? It certainly has all the earmarkings. read more
