Tuscanos

First off, let me say I've eaten at many places both in America and Europe - so I'm not a neopyte who doesn't know what good food is.  Secondly, we found this restaurant while straying from our hotel one night and decided to give it a try.  We weren't sure but took the chance.  We were promptly seated on a Thursday evening and there were other tables seated around us.  This place is pretty large.  There are white tablecloths and napkins which add a nice touch.  We ordered an appetizer and our dinners.  The service was excellent.  The food was very good and we enjoyed it immensely.  The price wasn't bad either.  I'm not sure what the other reviewers got but our food was definitely authentic and very well prepared but it's hard to screw up pasta.  We shared a dessert and it was delicious.  This is a place I'd go to again.

Came here for lunch and was glad to see other tables occupied on a Mon. Very nice personable server who made us feel welcome. The escarole and beans was the best!
The place could use a little more ambience to warm up the room a little. Maybe they're still working on it. The server brought us a complimentary tiramisu to welcome us to come back. It worked for me, I'll go back when I'm in the neighborhood.

I find it odd to see that this place has such poor reviews. The service deserves the low stars, but the food is definitely worthy of more stars. I've had the cavatelli with vodka sauce and the pasta with seafood. My husband enjoys their veal marsala. We've had almost all the appetizers on their menu, all of which were rather good.

We've only gone on Fridays which happens to be when they have live entertainment. That definitely makes it even more fun. The last time we went they had a DJ that was playing all Mexican music which really made no sense since it's an Italian restaurant and typically they have dance music. No one was dancing that night, so I think that the point was made.

We will definitely be back!
