My wife and I were just two diners wedged between two large parties recently and our server, Renee, made us feel like we were her top priority. Although all three of our parties were seated at about the same time (roughly 22 diners all told), we never felt neglected and all restaurant personnel were most attentive to our needs... even offering to move us to another room before entrees were served. Fortunately the ambiance was lively but not loud and we were averse to leaving the fun. We can't wait to try the courtyard dining -- totally hidden from street traffic and limited pedestrian.

I might have not been completely sold on the special I was considering and Renee sensed it, steering me to one of the house favorites on the regular menu. Her recommendation was good, and to prove it she brought, in addition to my order, a large sample of the special for us to share.

Food was very good and the place, although hidden inside the courtyard of the Specialty Shops on the Park (mostly high-end boutiques with only daytime hours) was very busy for a weeknight. We were surprised to learn that one of the parties in our small dining area was a regular there, and yet we were treated as well on our first visit.

You can bet it will not be our last.

This is a very quaint, romantic place with soft light and great ambiance. The food was terrific, right down to the bread and olive oil at the beginning. We had the brochette appetizer, which was just right, light but tasteful. My customers had the scallops over rizotto, and I had the lasagna. We both kept raving about the taste through the meal. Great wine list as well. The total bill came to $148, which I thought was very reasonable.

Watch the steps!

I went with my wife for a quick lunch and we enjoyed Toscana. Limited offers in the menu as well as in the wine list, but we ate the authentic and well prepare Italian food.

Went with the family over the Christmas holidays and Toscana was wonderful as expected. We had two children with us and they accommodated our special menu requests. Everyone's food was excellent. The calamari appetizer is my favorite. The staff is helpful and professional. Can't wait to return.

A great Italian restaurant tucked behind South Park Mall. They bring a bean dip mixed with onions, parsley and garlic for your bread to start and it is so good you could just fill up on that. Love the Branzino which seems to be a "special" every night. Veal is always good as is their red sauce. It can be a little loud. In the summer there is a very cute area to sit and eat outside.
