It was my first time dining at Il Toscano. It was a great experience. The food, service, and ambiance were all great! Highly recommend. Don't be alarmed by the limited number of menu items because they have several specials.

Love this place! It’s easy to see why they were packed with customers last night. Fresh and high quality food, great and attentive service, super delicious meals, and a dessert called the napoleon that is unreal. This place is a gem. Can’t wait to come back in a few weeks.

Very enjoyable experience. The only negative was the maitre d insisting that we check our jackets. That was rather abrasive. As the evening progressed, he became more personable.
