This visit I decided to sit at the bar. Not the best idea when you sre planning to eat and drink healthy. Looking at the coffee/dessert menu killed that idea. I ordered broccoli amd a ceasars salad which were great. Then i ordered a mecican coffee, which has kahlua and whip cream. I follwed up with 2nd and at that point i had to get cake with peanut butter and chocolate. Everything was great.
I had read many good reviews prior to choosing to eat here. Our experience was very disappointing. The best dish we had was the Broccoli Rabe and sausage appetizer. Everything thing else, mussels, veal franchise, land and sea, and chicken Parmesan, all lacked flavor. They were cooked properly but were very bland. We will not go back.
We are giving them 3 stars only because of Gianna's great bar service. Don't get all the hype about "amazing food". Guess anything is amazing nowadays; seems people have low expectations, or don't care about throwing their money away. We ordered the nachos for happy hour...what a disappointment! They came out piled high with raw cabbage! What?? I've been a chef for over 45 years and have never seen anything so ridiculous. They were trying to make it look huge, but when you scraped aside all the useless cabbage, there wasn't much there. Not much cheese either. We should have refused it but were starving after driving for 4 hours. That's it for Tuscany. Here's some advice: hire a chef who knows what he's doing, not a diner cook.
Tuscany is a family style restaurant with an extensive food menu. It has a spacious and friendly vibe. Stern, efficient service.
Eggplant tower. Large, thin slices of breaded eggplant sandwiching a generous portion of ricotta. Covered with a nice red sauce.
Cajun Tuna. Blackened tuna steak covered with a delicious, fresh pile of cilantro and cubed tomatoes and sitting on a mixed green salad.
The orecchiette with shrimp and spicy sausage was an enormous serving. The pasta was covered in a light cream sauce. There were chunks of sausage and several medium sized shrimp.
Polite ,attentive staff , that can manage well in a busy environment.
I got the new york strip with a side of mushroom.
Best steak I've had in a while melted so soft and well cooked you cant go wrong .
