Trattoria Toscana

“We went for my great niece's birthday. We had a wonderful time. The restaurant had to handle 3 large parties (including ours) and they did a great job. The restaurant was clean. Service was great and food was good. I had no complaints.”

“Trattoria Toscana delivers where it matters most -- the food is genuinely delicious and authentically Italian. The dishes are flavorful, well portioned, and made with care. Service was friendly but a bit slow and could use more attentiveness during busier times. The atmosphere is comfortable and casual though nothing particularly special or romantic. If you're going for the cuisine you won't be disappointed -- it's the clear highlight of the experience here.”

“It was a very unpleasant dinning experience. the food was ok but the waiter that serve us was very rude and arrogant. He can careless about service, gave us the dirty plate and wilted lime; and when we tried to order, he just came up to ask "are you guys ready to order? " without introducing himself, we didn't get his name or any greeting at all! When I asked for suggestions, he did not mention any specials, just told us "you can do it the Italian way, just order pasta first and then have the entree" we ordered some appetizer, grill salmon and the lamb chop; I told him that I try to limited carbs, and I would like to order more protein dishes. but he just keep repeating the something about "do it the Italian way, order the pasta first". He repeated it at lest 3 times even after I told him I'm not trying to get carbs. I don't understand why he tried to sell the pasta so badly, but instead of saying "how good the pasta is, and worth a try", he keep telling us to "do it the Italian way". that's very unprofessional and very poor selling/service skill. I wish he told us about the tomahawk steak, I saw our next table had it and it smells really good. the grill salmon that we got was ok, farm rise salmon so had enough fat in it, was not dry. but wish he told us what sauce it came with. the lamb chop was pretty tender, did grilled to the medium-rare that I asked for. Overall, the food was ok; location just alright; it's by Hyland Blvd, so it's kind of noisy and no view. however, the service was the worst part. It's the most unwelcoming Italian restarting that I've even been to. I always think they're very passionate and friendly. I guess it's just one bad apple. I'm sure there're more good restaurants with friendly staff on the Island.”
