We had friends in town over the holidays and had great food and great time at Tuscany Grill! Waitress was so friendly and made sure we had a great time. Chicken Parm was the best we have had in Viera since moving here in August. Highly recommend. read more

When we walked in no one was available to greet us or seat us, waited about 3 - 4 minutes, looked around, almost ready to walk out when finally a woman showed up and greeted us, she seemed to be bussing tables. 1st bad sign but I assumed they may be short staffed so I shrugged it off. We were shown to our table. My wife ordered a dinner salad, she was told the dressing was garlic ranch. Since it was the only option she asked to bring olive oil. That was fine, but halfway through our meal I overheard a different waiter at another table say the choice of dressing for the salad was garlic ranch or vinegarette. Another "oversight". The waiter seemed nice. Later we realized when our food arrived that all of the tables seated after us were served bread with herb butter. I didn't complain but thought it was an oversight on the part of the waiter. I asked if the spaghetti and meatballs were good, the waiter said yes, very good. I decided to give it a try, the spaghetti was ok, but hadn't been properly sauced, it was as though the sauce was just dumped in the center with two meatballs. The sauce tasted like garlic and tomatoes, hardly any other flavor such as oregano or basil. The meatballs had far too much Italian flavored breadcrumbs and tasted like a meat-bread ball. The house salad my wife received and my side salad were pretty sad. Lettuce, 2 slices of cucumber, a small slice of tomato, and some shredded carrots. For a house salad at an Italian restaurant, it seemed pretty sparse. I expected an olive maybe, and / or a slice of onion, maybe a slice of green pepper, or a cruton or two? Go figure. Overall was disappointed, eveything about the restaurant decor gave me the first impression that it would be better. Coming from an Italian American family I know good Italian food when I taste. I know flavorful sauce and I know what a real homemade meatball should taste like. Perhaps other dishes and perhaps other wait staff are better. IMO there are better choices for Italian food in the area, doubtful I will be back to try something different. read more

The front of house is just chaotic, it seems like they don't really want to hire enough help up front for the volume of people waiting. The server was very friendly and attentive. The quality of food was better at their old location. Now the food is just ok, very bland and not good enough for the higher price point. Also they brought my salad and my entree on plastic plates, that is just really lame. I won't be going back since there are better Italian food in the area. read more

My family and I tried Tuscany Grill when we were in the area, and it was a bit of a mixed bag. Service was great--friendly, attentive, and welcoming! The prices are on the higher side, but the portions are huge, so you definitely get a lot of food. Everything we ordered was really heavy though, and while it was fine, nothing stood out flavor-wise. I left feeling pretty stuffed, mostly from how rich everything was. If you're craving a big, hearty meal, this place could work, but I'd probably try somewhere else next time. read more

3.5 service was excellent overall. Prices were very high for what we got. The food was good but definitely not good enough for the prices. The ceaser salad was excellent and better than my meal. Alfredo was bland and the pesto was good but not a lot of seafood. The overall vibe was a little run down. read more

Nice Italian restaurant that offered many options on their menu. I tried a signature dish, Grilled Mediterranean which included chicken, shrimp, sausage, and noodles all seared in a pan before serving. It gave the noodles a nice little crisp which was a unique option. The dish had a nice spicy bite to it. Service was good. We were taken care of and never rushed or ignored. Our waiter was helpful in pointing out popular menu options. I liked the vibe with private booths and candles on each table. read more

stumbled upon this place when out shopping at a nearby book store. the entrance and decor were beautiful! The feeling of the atmosphere inside was calm and quaint. The staff were very polite, attentive, and professional! The waiters were super knowledgeable about the menu and ensured we had everything we needed. We did the 4 course meal for $35. It came with an appetizer, salad, entree, & dessert! It was DELICIOUS!!!!!!!! Also I don't know if he's the manager or the owner but the older gentleman that works in the front is SIMPLY AMAZING!! I ate here twice in one week! Absolutely 10/10. read more

Our service was excellent. We came Sunday afternoon and I do not remember her name but she definitely needs to be commended. Our two yr old toddler was struggling to sit still and our waitress went above and beyond to try to accommodate our needs. The food tasted so good. Rich in flavors and enough for two to share. Ambiance: gives date night vibes for sure. read more

I really love this place. We went for a Christmas party a couple weeks ago, and everyone was impressed. Today I went with just my husband. The waiter John was so professional and attentive, efficient and sweet. Of course I ordered the eggplant because I can never resist that dish. My husband ordered the shrimp scampi. Everything was delicious. Very fresh and tasty. I highly recommend Tuscany Grill. read more

The food portion good,taste not so much, chicken Parm. Was burnt, sauce is too acidic, small piece of chicken for the pricy plate. Quality of the food doesn't meet the $. Overrated. Others at table had similar issues read more

Food was good, felt like I was waiting for a table for a decent amount of time. Was seated and cared for and our waiter was super fast, not a good or bad thing. I ordered the truffle fries with parmesan for a starter and I was pretty impressed, wish the fries were crispier. Then I ordered the Salmon Liverone and my girlfriend ordered the penne al vodka. Both were delicious. Mine was very tomatoey as well as having a good saltiness of the salmon. My girlfriend's pasta was also tomatoey for a penne al vodka. Finally, we ordered the Sea Salted Caramel Cheesecake and it was nearly perfect. The caramel wasn't too salty and the cheesecakes was really soft. Only thing that could be better was the crust, was pretty hard.The ambience was pretty and I liked the atmosphere. Everything was standard for a perfect date night with my girlfriend. read more

Birthday Dinner...maybe that was where I went wrong? Were my expectations too high? Everyone raved....maybe we need to reconsider who we get our recommendations from? We waited at the front of the house for a good five minutes with no hostess or anyone greeting us. The bartender saw us...and went back to looking at his phone. Finally got another person's attention and we were seated... We should have known this was not going to be a white tablecloth experience when we unwrapped our silverware from the paper napkin..a nice paper napkin but still a paper napkin. The silverware had an institutional feeling to it. Drinks came out pretty quickly as did the calamari app. The aioli dipping sauce was good but was really good when I mixed it with the marinara sauce the waiter brought out to have us sample. The marinara was bright and fresh tasting....and turned out to be the highlight. The bread was four hard rocks of yeast and flour....with pesto butter that was way over-seasoned with garlic...almost inedible. I came specifically for the Pescatore. It was lacking in a lot of seafood....three shrimp, two clams, lots of calamari, three mussels, and three scallops...(the scallops were actually the best part and one was a little under). It was an abject disappointment. Not flavorful. The white sauce was like drinking a bad glass of wine...it was off... that is the best way to describe it. We had the Baked Italiano....of our three entrees it was the best tasting and was seasoned well. It had a meatball, ravioli, eggplant, and sausage with a red sauce that was not the same as the marinara we had with the app. So not as bright but my better half liked it and she knows her Italian. Pasta alfredo with grilled chicken was the third entree....not very cheesy and why on earth would you cube the grilled chicken unless it was 1) Leftovers or 2) leftovers. Not that cheesy and bland. The risotto was crunchy....is that right?...but they say it is their best seller. White rice with parsley sprinkled on top...what was it really? Certainly not risotto. Now the other clue this was not that great is that they did not offer fresh ground pepper or fresh parmesan cheese table side. Once it got busy and it did....we had a hard time getting refills or our waiter's attention. They get a star bump for the gesture of the cannoli with a candle for the birthday boy and boxing up the food for us and they wrap the to-go boxes in saran wrap to prevent spills from what I can tell...nice touch. Pro-tip: Monday is Military appreciation night and Thursday has a special German menu...that will bring me back for another chance but tonight.....not their best if others are to be believed. read more

We had a very large group-25 people-and the staff handled it flawlessly! Drinks, wine were prompt and correct. Appetizers were out fast. Several guests were gluten-free with no problem. Food was delicious as well. Great experience! read more

Good service. Have many choice of draft beers. Water served refilled quickly. Hot bakery bun bread served with garlic butter. Salmon Acropolis: too dry. Sauce is the saviors. Too much pasta. Recommended Slow Roasted Pork Osso Bucco. Tiramisu for dessert. Other choice are all great, Napoleon cheese cake, chocolate mousse . Good service. Nice room. Little cramped to move around. Noisy ambience. Ok for the big group party. read more

Quick review! Overall it was a great experience and will go back to try other items on the menu. Enjoyed the ambiance, it was nicely dimmed and decor and layout of restaurant was fantastic. The food we ordered tasted amazing. As mentioned on the picture, the Baked Italiano was overwhelmingly covered in sauce. Drinks - Old Fashioned's hit the spot! Worth checking out! read more

Food was great. Drinks were great. Our server, Emily was fantastic!!! Great experience. We'll definitely be back!

We have dined at Tuscany Grill several times. Usually the food is very good. The service is excellent and the ambience is quite nice. So we scheduled our anniversary dinner there with approximately 13 people. We were given the special dining room. Sad to say it was cold in there. We had one server who was really kind and took good care of us as far as service. Several of the people did not enjoy the food. One guest had ordered a pork chop and it was not cooked properly so he had to wait to have another one made while we finished our meals and then he gobbled up his pork chop. This did not sit well with us as we were not hosting the anniversary party ! I have to mention that this restaurant is expensive , so be aware of what you order and what you get.! Thank you! read more

Last night my husband picked up an order for us and it was not good. I had the Chicken Picatta de Fungi. Fungi terrible a bland dry tiny piece of boiled butterflied rubbery chicken with capers, mushrooms and artichokes (one) over a ton of flavorless fettuccine. Loaded with garlic it was so strong no other seasoning just awful. I ate a couple of bites and the rest in the garbage. They also gave us a tiny loaf of bread that was so stale it was like a rock. It wasn't just a little stale it was petrified like granite. They never should have put in in the bag they should have put a fresh loaf of bread. My husbands dish was just ok veal parm. We will never order from here again. A total waste of money! read more

The food is very tasty. We had a variety of the appetizers to start, the polenta bites were definitely our favorite. The pescatore had a lot of seafood in it, I recommend fra diavolo if you like it a bit spicier. The chicken walker was also very good. We liked it enough to schedule my bridal shower here! I'll review again once we have it. Oh btw happy hour drinks were great. Thanks! read more

Probably the worst Italian restaurant I have ever eaten at. To call it Italian is an insult to Italy. The most bland and dry meat balls that you needed a knife to cut them. The tomato sauce was right out of a Chef Boyardee can. No seasoning. Wine list was way over priced and a bad selection. Spagetti Factory would be a better option. read more

We were in town for a sporting event and went here on a Sunday evening. The restaurant was not busy at all and we felt a little underdressed as we were wearing t-shirt and shorts. Vinny was our waiter and he was great. Very knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive. The food was great! I would definitely recommend this place and will definitely go back. read more

Vinny was amazing again! Food was as consistent as always and very enjoyable. Drinks were perfection! Specials were also a great selection as we usually stick to our usual but glad we tried some new things. Service was superb along with the general atmosphere. read more

Same tired dated menu as old Tuscany Grill Friday night 7:30 and only 3 tables third or fourth restaurant in that location

Love this place. We like to come in the afternoon. Lori usually waits on us at the bar and the service is always great. The food is excellent and made from scratch so they can pretty much make whatever you want. We love their half price wine on Wednesdays, too. This is our go-to place when we want consistently good food and service read more

The food came out at the same time for all the guests and it was hot and delicious. read more

Tuscany Grill- Viera, FL- 2.75-Stars "I have to admit that I have a massive weakness for Italian food, which is not very light but so good!" - C. Rowe. My random name generator spewed forth the Tuscany Grill as my next mission. They have been around for a bit over 40 years now, though recently moved to the Viera location, bringing almost their entire staff with them. I asked my researchers to try to find out how long they have been in Viera, but when calling the phone number on their website, couldn't get through. Their site did say that most of their employees have been with them for 8-11 years. Upon entering said eating establishment, I was met with a feeling of warmth and hospitality. It certainly felt like a family place. My waitress was Emily and I can't say enough about her charming personality or menu knowledge. She is top-notch all the way. I asked Emily for an order of my Italian barometer, Veal Piccatta (their spelling), some Calamari, Fettuccine Alfredo along with sides of Minestrone soup and a salad with creamy garlic dressing. Taking in the interior while waiting for my order, I noticed what appeared to be your typical family picture behind our table. If that doesn't say, "Family Restaurant" I don't know what does. The rest of the joint was tastefully done with beautiful natural wood and marble throughout. Oh wait....this is the decor and furniture from the last restaurant that went of of business. I soon saw Emily returning laden with steaming plates of viands. As you can see by the photos, everything was presented beautifully and looked extremely delectable. However, there is only one way to find out if everything tasted as good as it looked, so I filled my fists with my apparatus of gastronomical destruction and got to work. I began with the Calamari. I found it to be flash-fried properly, however, it was a bit strong. This tells me that it wasn't fresh. It was bordering on garbage can bad. Unless you are eating Mackerel, for example, or another rather oily item from the waters, if it tastes strong or "fishy" it's past the apex of freshness. The Veal Piccatta was served in an exceptional sauce that hit the correct flavor notes and was exceedingly savory. Sadly, the veal itself was overcooked and I mean almost shoe leather. The Alfredo sauce was not as thick as I am accustomed to, though it was flavorful and the Fettuccine was cooked to perfection. The sides were nothing to write home about, but not bad either. The Minestrone soup was not going to win any culinary awards but got the job done. The salad was made with fresh Romaine and the dressing was fine. Again, no awards here, just your average Italian-American fare. The Big Boy says, "If in Viera and hunkering for some good ole Italian-American food in a family atmosphere with great staff, head on over to the Tuscany Grill you won't be disappointed with their MEDIOCRITY." read more

This place looked really unassuming from the outside but my goodness was this just a gem. Imperial pasta was I added salmon as my protein and there was a slight mishap that they forgot to bring it out but it was quickly remedied and perfectly cooked. I am salivating thinking about it and can't wait to come back here! read more

A nice upscale Italian restaurant - very good, indeed... Located at a spot that has failed as other places in the past, I do think this place will stick. Beautiful furnished inside, it definitely has a very upscale and relaxed vibe inside. Service was wonderful - if your fortunate enough to get Lauren, you will be pleased. They bring out bread with a special spread that was very tasty. We also added an appetizer of calamari that came out quick and hot. It was good as well. For dinner my wife enjoyed their chicken parmigiana while I had their special, a crab stuffed flounder with rigatoni- oh how I enjoyed it. For dessert she ate the Italian Wedding Cake where I enjoyed their version of cannoli - there were no left overs - those desserts were fantastic. Overall, it's a great place deserving of some local love (which it gets). I'm already looking forward to our next visit. read more

Was out on Black Friday dreading the shopping crowds and trying to find somewhere to eat. After finishing our day at the Avenues in Vieira, we searched Yelp for dining suggestions. We saw Asian, Indian, Gastropubs, Fondue, and Italian. We decided Italian was what our palette was feeling on that night. We walked in to a bustling restaurant at around 6:05 pm and our hearts sank when we were asked if we had a reservation. We said no and then were told that the restaurant was fully booked however had a bar section with open seating with a few tables. We turned the corner and jackpot! We found a table, and just in time, within 15 minutes, the section of roughly 6 tables was full. We settled in and were greeted by our server promptly. We ordered our drinks and the lasagna bites appetizer. A delicious creation of pieces of lasagna coated in panko, fried and served with marinara. I ordered the Chicken ala Vincent, a Blackened chicken breast in a sundried tomato pesto cream sauce, topped with fresh basil and pistachios, served over penne. Really good with a nice crunch from the nuts. My wife ordered the Angel Hair Imperial with Shrimp, Fresh spinach sautéed with garlic and olive oil, then finished with a sherry cream sauce and served with angel hair pasta. She was pleased. My daughter ordered the Penne ala Vodka with Blackened Chicken, which was tomato cream sauce spiked with vodka and garlic tossed with penne pasta with fresh basil and parmesan. She liked it but tasted my meal and we ended up trading dishes, it was a little to tomato-y for her liking. Great food, great service, and what seemed like the manager checked up on us a few times. A really nice touch was them taking our food back an puttiing in to go boxes and then sealing the box in plastic wrap so it did not leak. read more

First visit. We had a large party, about 20 people, in for lunch on a week day. We did call a few days ahead for accommodation. It was mostly empty. Wait staff for our group consisted of two, & neither were friendly & both were somewhat rude. Service was slow, & the place was so dark. Was hard to read the menu. Place seemed clean, including restroom. My meal; pasta primavera & side salad. Salad was mixed greens, one large slice of cucumber & two chunks of tomato. Garlic dressing was thin & barely had garlic flavor. Primavera was ok. Pasta wasn't drained causing water to sit in bottom of bowl which caused marinara to be diluted. A few large cuts of onion & broccoli were added. There was no bread brought out with salads. It cost $2 per person for bread! Everyone had to request water, which came in a small OJ glass, with no ice. A few of us sat for a while waiting on refills. My total, including a mocktail, tax & tip, was only $24 & change. A two star is more like what Tuscany Grill deserves, but it's way cheaper than most other Italian restaurants I've been to! With that said, being local, I will not return; not my taste... or lacking taste. As some of the others had also said. read more

This is a great place for a nice lunch or dinner. Very good food and great service. Very popular with locals.
