Welcome to your friend neighborhood bar and sandwich shop.

    Overall it was nice on a cold winters night. I had the cauliflower steak- which was barely cooked. So I got a 1/2 inch slab of cauliflower, few stalks of broccoli and hummus for $20. How can you screw that up? Service was super slow and there was not even an event at the time. But we will try again . . .

    We made a reservation weeks in advance for my boyfriend's birthday. When we arrived, the host and hostess were very professional. I left a note about his birthday and this was acknowledged throughout the evening. We were seated promptly and ordered with our server, who was fantastic the entire evening, a real pro! The appetizer, entree, and desserts were all delicious and we can't wait to return.

    We are regulars (usually sit at the bar), last night there was no seats at the bar. We sat in the dining room and Shannon was our server. She has been our server on a couple of occasions and is always great. The food and service was excellent. You can’t beat Toscana Beverly!

    Went for the New Year’s Day Hip Hop DJ Brunch and it did not disappoint! Tried the housemade donuts (cranberry orange & espresso martini), and they lived up to the hype 100%! Seriously, if we weren’t so full, I would have taken a couple of the orange-cranberry ones to go! Then we had chicken & waffles and the pastrami hash. The chicken was incredibly crispy and the hash was delicious- lots of peppers & onions to complement the pastrami. Music was loud (we were right in front of the DJ) with some great selections! Service was excellent as well. We will definitely be back!
