Nestled in the heart of midtown Manhattan’s east side, a stone’s throw from New York City’s finest hotels and Grand Central Station, Toscana49 offers a serene and elegant retreat from the bustle of the city. We offer classic Italian dishes, and fresh homemade pastas that are made daily in our own kitchen, using time-honored traditional methods. Our welcoming staff is ready to assist you in choosing wines from our extensive wine list, introducing you to our specials, which change daily to include the freshest ingredients available from local markets, or mixing you the perfect cocktail.

We are open lunch and dinner seven days a week and serve a special brunch on weekends.

My husband and I stayed at the Lexington Hotel on 48th and Lex. this restaurant is literally less than 2 city blocks away and a quick walk from the hotel. the food was outstanding. I enjoyed the amazing pasta special - cavatell and shrimp , clams and crab meat. My husband had the red snapper in a red sauce with roasted pototoes and capers. both of us were extremely happy. we finished our meal with a sambouca and limoncello. what a great find!! the value was great - the ambience was nice - we will def be back.!!

Service a bit slow. Food was very good to excellent. The traditional Italian dishes are excellent. My colleague ordered a filet mignon and it was not the greatest cut of meat. Well prepared but not the best cut.

The staff was very supportive and friendly. The food was good, but now outstanding. We were upstairs, and the noise level was very low so it was ideal for us to have a nice conversation. Enjoyed the evening very much
