Toscana - Charlotte

Went to Toscana to celebrate my wife's birthday, I mentioned this in the reservation. To our surprise there was a birthday card wishing my wife a happy birthday when we arrived at the table. We started with the Beef Carpaccio (wife LOVED IT) and Bruschetta (I wish the menu had stated it came with balsamic vinegar). For main dishes my wife ordered the Mare (LOVED IT) and I ordered the Pollo Medici (REALLY GOOD). Overall a great dinner and the staff were fantastic. I would recommend for a special occasion or family celebration.

Good food, plenty of staff, prices are good, next time trying their pizza, looks delicious.

Food great. Ambiance crowded and rushed. Somewhat unpleasant because of the crowd and business of the staff.

I had a small family gathering at Toscanas for my son's graduation. We were all in from New York for this graduation celebration. The food is incredibly delicious and well- prepared and presented, and not overly expensive. We were there the week before Christmas, and it seemed that the restaurant was full. We did feel as if our meal was a bit rushed, but I think that was due to their full reservation schedule that week in the year. All in all, is was a very positive experience, and I would absolutely go back if I travelled back to Charlotte.

The food we had was very good, but the service was awful!! The waiter introduced himself then barely paid any attention to our party of 3. We waited and waited then finally flagged down waitstaff that wasnt our waiter to get drinks and place our order. We sat with empty drink glasses and only got service when we flagged someone nearby. The food was very tasty but when you go to what is considered a nicer restaurant good service is part of the experience and expectation. The bill was almost $200. and although I am definately not cheap, if it been up to me our waiter wouldn 't have gotten more than a $5. tip Not sure we will ever be back.
