An unbelievably noisy experience. The food is variable, but can be quite fine. The waitstaff is varible, but can be quite terrible. Best to go on a very off hour. Think Sunday at 5 PM. Or preferably, Waltham has 2 other really unique italian restaurants. So unless you're 25, and thrive on annoyance, why go?

Cannot recommend this place. Very noisy and cramped. Pasta and fish dishes were dull. House wine was along the line of the $3.99 a bottle variety (not 3 buck chuck either) at $7 a glass. We ordered a tuna tar tar for an appetiser that was totally nasty. When we suggested to the waitress that we were not happy with it, no offer of a refund was brought up. I expect better from a 3 dollar sign restaurant. Save your money, you can do much better elsewhere
Pros: nothing
Cons: see review

Crowded place on a Saturday night, but very courteous staff with knowledge of food and wine. We first had a boar sausage very tasty and well spiced, then the pasta Bolognese and the short ribs, both delicious. The waitress recommended a red wine special which brought us back to Italy. Very good experience i recommend to every one.

This came recommended as a good vegetarian place, but we were extremely disappointed with the options available. We had a vegetable platter which comprised of mashed potatoes, butternut squash, boiled spinach and broccoli. There was little salt and no spice, just plain boiled stuff. The chef should be ashamed to be presenting such a bland dish as an entree. We also had ravioli with butternut squash stuffing which was too sweet for an entree. We left the restaurant with a half filled stomach and a queasy after taste. Tuscan Grill is certainly not value for money.
Cons: Bad Vegetarian Food, Expensive

Had the spit-chicken, roasted to about half hour before perfection, mashed potatoes were good but the greens were not chewable (also undercooked.) When I asked for a coke refil I got a nasty comment about not being at McDonald's. Later the hostes was extremely rude on the subject of soft drinks. Must be a sample of bostonian hospitality. Your experience may vary.

Kind of stumbled on this gem by accident. I must say, it was just what we were looking for! Great atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable (from wine through dessert) and amazing food. I was most impressed with the portions. A pleasant amount of food for the money, unlike most other pricey restaurants in the area. We had the Venison and "Hanger" Steak. Both were cooked to perfection and perfetly paired with starch/veggies and a fantastic glass of red wine. We look forward to our next night out at the Tuscan Grill!
Pros: food, wine, staff
