What People Are Saying About Tosca

In Short – Located in a 1910 brick building, Tosca serves highbrow, modern Italian cuisine to a moneyed, suburban clientele. The dining room, awash in exposed brick and warm woods, features a bustling open kitchen. Starters range from the familiar (fried calamari) to the offbeat (mushroom pate, Vidalia onion soup). Homemade pasta dishes include crab-stuffed cappelletti and orecchiette with housemade sausage. Asparagus-stuffed gray sole and a smoked lavender pork chop are typical of the intricate entrees.

I have been here a half dozen times in th epast year and each time it has been consistent and well done. Beautiful space, great bar, and food is excellent. I think the prices are fair too. The chicken under a brick is a rela winner.

Great food, Beautiful Ambiance, Wonderful Dining Experience

The first thing that you notice when you enter the restaurant is the smell of the wood that fires the oven.
The restaurant is a quaint old building that has been converted into a magnificent space for entertaining.
I have rarely enjoyed a meal as much as I enjoyed my lobster schnitzel with broiled pumpkin & squash.
The broiled cauliflower and vegetables gave the entree a delightful pop that helps balance the richness of the lobster.
The wood fired pizza was an excellent starter and was crispy and deliciously drizzled with walnut oil.
this was a delightful starter.
We were there on a Wednesday night for a business meeting and would recommend this place to anyone interested in a great restaurant for a date or for a meeting (Weekends are most likely loud and busy for a business dinner)
Tab was $280 with 2 bottles of wine and a nice tip
Entree I chose was $33.00 and most were $23.00 and up.
Was a beautiful place with great food.

- Pros: Great food, Nice ambiance, Friendly staff, Reserved online with OpenTable

Very impressed with themselves - why?
by peteroswanson at Citysearch
We brought a multi-generational group to dine at Tosca, based on the reviews. The food was good, but not anything to go overboard about. The maitre d' and waitstaff were very distant - as if they were doing us a favor by deigning to serve us. Very poor evening out for the money. If you come across my other reviews, you'll find I'm not a snarky person. Here, I've simply told it as it happened. We haven't been back and don't intend to, ever.
- Pros: None I can remember
- Cons: Apparent aversion to Asian clientele, NOISY! Snotty maitre d'
