• Italian • San Rafael
Booked 10 times today
We are centrally located off Hwy. 101 in San Rafael, across for the famous Frank Lloyd Wright Marin Civic Center. La Toscana is a family owned and operated Italian restaurant and bar located in Marin County. It was established in 1985 by Paolo Mori, his wife, Marilyn, and Michele Quilici. The owners all grew up in Lucca, Italy and immigrated to the U.S. in the late 1950s. They wanted to create an atmosphere that reminded them of home – a place where locals would gather to eat, meet friends and family and celebrate with food and wine as every Italian family does. Chef and co— owner Giovanni Racanello joined La Toscana in 1986. Paolo and Marilyn’s daughter, Laura Mori Riella, and youngest son, Michael Mori, joined the La Toscana team in 1992 and 2002, respectively. Paolo loved to make people feel welcome and, just like all the Moris, enjoyed his food and wine and loved to see others do the same. This is the proud tradition that La Toscana carries on.

    Piazza D'Angelo never disappoints. Again, my husband and I had an exceptionally delicious dinner last night! Our Pear Salads were truly appetizing, accompanied by some fresh baked Focaccia! I had Pork Chop with side of Brussel Sprouts and Fingerling Potatoes and it sure was an excellent entrée! I absolutely enjoyed every bite! My husband had the Petrale Sole with Risotto and he was as equally pleased with his meal as I was! We LOVE Piazza D'Angelo! In all these years, they have never failed to serve excellent food! Everyone leaves with happy tummies! See you soon! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    Our daughter was in town and looking forward to dinner at her favorite restaurant and Insalatas once again knocked it out of the park! Every dish was a winner, service was outstanding, and the atmosphere as always, warm and welcoming. We enjoyed a favorite appetizer, the Lamb Kefta with it's rich, saucy spices, and tried a new appetizer of roasted trumpet mushrooms and broccolini ~ flavor filled and perfectly roasted, now another new favorite! Oh, and I must mention the Browned Butter Old Fashioned cocktail that one in our party ordered, though not much of a bourbon lover myself, I tried a taste and it was beautifully balanced and delicious! When we discovered the four of us all wanted the same two mains, our server had the kitchen divide two orders of each into four plates and brought them out in courses which was a wonderful way to enjoy our meal. The egg yolk fettuccine with dungeness crab, smokey bacon, sea urchin butter, castelvetrano olives, capers, basil, calabrian chili, and the most delicious crunchy garlic breadcrumbs was outstanding ~ melt in your mouth with a little kick! We followed this with the aromatic and complex flavors of the oven roasted salmon tagine ~ salmon was perfectly prepared with a delicious, crunchy skin on top and resting in a bed of coconut broth, chickpeas, mushrooms, lentils and wonderful spices. Thankfully we did not resist dessert and shared the Baklava cheesecake ~ nutty, buttery, creamy deliciousness ~ over the years I've found that anything with the word baklava in it at Insalatas should not be missed! Equally outstanding, the Sticky Toffee pudding was caramel, nutty perfection accompanied by creamy hazelnut gelato. Insalatas Team ~ Thank you one and all for a most enjoyable and memorable evening!

    We came here for an early dinner. The place was nice and quiet as it was between lunch and dinner (our favorite time to dine). Our waiter, Stephen, was excellent. The food was very good as was the wine. We will be back soon.
