• Italian • San Rafael
Booked 16 times today
We are centrally located off Hwy. 101 in San Rafael, across for the famous Frank Lloyd Wright Marin Civic Center. La Toscana is a family owned and operated Italian restaurant and bar located in Marin County. It was established in 1985 by Paolo Mori, his wife, Marilyn, and Michele Quilici. The owners all grew up in Lucca, Italy and immigrated to the U.S. in the late 1950s. They wanted to create an atmosphere that reminded them of home – a place where locals would gather to eat, meet friends and family and celebrate with food and wine as every Italian family does. Chef and co— owner Giovanni Racanello joined La Toscana in 1986. Paolo and Marilyn’s daughter, Laura Mori Riella, and youngest son, Michael Mori, joined the La Toscana team in 1992 and 2002, respectively. Paolo loved to make people feel welcome and, just like all the Moris, enjoyed his food and wine and loved to see others do the same. This is the proud tradition that La Toscana carries on.

    There were four of us dining at 5pm on Valentine's day for the prix-fixe 3 course menu. It was beyond our expectations.....lobster risotto, duck a l'orange, beef tenderloin and petrale sole. Every dish was served hot, the flavors and presentations superb. Our server Samantha was attentive and charming. We did sit back a bit due to the fact that there was live music and and we wanted to be able to converse among ourselves.

    We very much enjoyed our weekday lunch here. Notably personable service and delicious entrees. I had a very generous serving of chilaquiles with chicken topped by 2 eggs which the kitchen did over hard - and perfectly - at my request. The sauce was super tasty, very authentic. Best I’ve had outside of Mexico. My friend had the pozole, it too was generous and well-seasoned. Water and iced tea due to lunchtime but would definitely love to come back at dinner and try one of their margaritas. Looking forward to returning soon!
