TRIP ADVISOR
There was plenty of parking when we arrived for lunch. The front door staff was friendly and welcoming. We were seated right away. Our server was there right away to take our drink order. She was very friendly and funny. She returned with our drinks quickly and took our meal order. We ordered spaghetti Bolognese. The food arrived in a timely manner and was still warm. The garlic and seasoning in the sauce made it very delicious. The sausage was full of flavor and firm but not hard. The noodles were soft but not mussy. They were also easy to twirl. Our server checked back frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. All of the flavors and textures made for a fantastic meal. This was a very enjoyable experience.

Good Italian restaurants are hard to find! Started with the Brussels sprouts for an appetizer which was great. I ate the cavatappi and sausage, my husband had the seafood linguine, both were absolutely delicious. Additionally the portion sizes are spot on, so you are not overwhelmed with mountains of food. Service was great. If you want good Italian food I highly recommend this place.

OPEN TABLE
We met some friends here with our kiddos for lunch. My first impression was great! The maître d’ was very cordial and was more than happy to sit us outside. It was a little chilly, so he made sure the overhead heaters were on for us.
Service was prompt; our waitress was there within minutes to get our drink orders. After those came out, she took our food orders and some delicious bread was brought out for the table.
The food was divine. My wife and I both ordered the chicken parmesan with veggies. My daughter loves spaghetti and Toscanos spaghetti did the trick. By the end of the meal, her face and dress were stained with the sauce! You can’t ask for a better seal of approval.
Toscanos has high quality food, a lovely outdoor seating area, and we felt valued as customers (which can be difficult with little ones sometimes). We definitely look forward to going back in the near future!
Kid-friendliness: Toscanos kids menu is limited (4 options), but my kiddo devoured her spaghetti. Their kids menu/coloring pages are also printed on really nice paper, which caught me off guard! To me, as a parent, a place that values my child is a place I want to spend my money.

The first time eating here and just the smell walking in was amazing. Food is freshly made with local ingredients. Our waiter was very informative and professional.
Definitely will visit again.

The service has improved significantly over the past two years. I have been back twice within the last month with different people. The service was excellent and the food impeccable.
The servings are as close to European fare that one can get. As always the ambiance is Euro Jazz focused and unexpected for its location but they make ample use of said location that it feels cozy and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of work life.
I have had several dishes there and really no disappointment with anything. Their drinks are well made, the seafood is well seasoned and it’s obvious that they are making everything there. For me that is a plus The cheesecake was particularly intriguing with a texture I have never had before in the US. I remember this type of cheesecake in Paris and Milan. Very enjoyable.
There is a wait time for food to arrive so I suggest that if you have a party, you get drinks and an appetizer. For those complaining of the wait times, one should be reminded that this restaurant is following the European model, which consists of making everything in house. That takes a long time and in several restaurants in Seattle you will run into the same thing. Good food is hard to make and I really appreciate the time that they put into getting things right.
They are 4.5 stars for me, which is pretty high considering I rate most restaurants a 3-4. But I would say that they are really etching up to a 5. One thing I’m impressed by is the lack of simple fried foods. That seems to be a go to at a lot of restaurants Bread it, fry it and serve it. Not here! So yes, I would recommend this restaurant.

The absolute best experience and food. I ordered the chicken linguine and we also had the bread pudding for dessert. Both were really good. Also tried the clam chowder their soup of the day. The ambiance is nice. I recommend making a reservation because it can get busy.

This is the best meal I have experienced in a while. We got the copper river salmon (best salmon mom has ever had) and the risotto (beautiful and springy! The rhubarb bread pudding for dessert was great to split for 3 people.
Service was A+ and Ambience was warm, welcoming and relaxing. Absolutely on the MacArthur list!
