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.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at The Boardroom tonight. I had the peppercorn crusted filet mignon with Jack Daniel's glaze along with a baked potato and fresh vegetables. Yum! Yum! My partner had the rigatoni pasta with filet mignon, mushrooms, onions and garlic in a stroganoff sauce. We shared a Caesar salad and bread. It was all incredibly delicious. The service was impeccable, and the atmosphere is wonderful. It's not as quiet as I would like but that's my only slight criticism. I can't wait to go back there!!

    Chianti Cucina never disappoints. Our Valentine's Day dinner was delicious, well prepared, served in a timely manner and the service was great. Although they were very busy due to the holiday, we did not feel rushed and the dining experience was so pleasant.

    Perry’s is our goto when we want good food in casual setting. For Valentines day we made a reservation but arrived some 10 minutes late yet were seated immediately. I ordered an Arnold Palmer and Cobb salad from a very affable waitress and food arrived within 15 minutes. Salad was very good with real bacon and chicken breast and lightly dressed. Ambiance was a bit loud with sports bar affect but they switched TV in seating area to pleasant red roses image instead of “the game” after 6pm. At the end of the meal, our waitress neatly packaged our leftovers. Service was warm, attentive, and fun.

    Wonderful neighborhood restaurant. Prices may seem a little steep, but portions are very large and everything looks like it came fresh from the farmers market that day!
