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.

Our Thanksgiving 2024 dinner was outstanding from beginning to end. Bread and little nibbles (olives, roasted pecans) were followed by a shot glass of truffled celery root and cauliflower soup and a copious salad featuring persimmons, fennel, endive and walnuts. For mains, we got a choice between turkey plus trimmings, grilled salmon and mushroom-stuffed squash. We chose the turkey and were glad – a generous serving of sliced bird with yummy gravy, buttery mashed potatoes, sweet potato rounds, wild rice stuffing, blue lake green beans and cranberry-orange-ginger relish. Everything was excellent and copious enough to take home the makings of another meal. Our dessert was a double chocolate bavarian cake with caramel sauce – superb. A couple of glasses of good wines and coffee rounded out a marvelous meal.

The food is off the charts! Always something unique and fresh on the menu. But the standard entrees are excellent as well. Everything is homemade - love the focaccia bread! Service is prompt and friendly. Also a great wine selection. Always a great night out at Valenti.
