    We chose the best place possible for our daughter’s Birthday. Dino was superb, going above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect night. The waitress was excellent too. Reserving the fire pit made it even more special. We will definitely be going back.

    Excellent evening tonight celebrating The Splendor of Florence at Osteria Toscana hosted by Armando Bisceglia and two visiting chefs from Italy. The pop up venue was warm and inviting and proved to be a perfect backdrop for the delectable food that is being offered during this special event. We began with pasta and bean soup that was a throwback to having a warm, comforting bowl of soup as a child in an Italian household. Then I selected the fettuccine bolognese-which is the Best I have ever had. I simply did not want to finish the dish because side I was enjoying each forkful so much. Richard had the gnocchi-each one was a pillow of tenderness nestled in a truffle cream sauce that melted in your mouth. Our entrees of eggplant parmigiana and osso bucco were hearty and delicious and proved to be two perfect rustic Tuscan selections. At the end of this epic meal we had cookies with a dessert wine. Everything tied together seamlessly and we truly had The Splendor of Florence experience💖. Let’s not forget the Wine Window-such an authentic touch! We loved getting our wine and toasting to this fantastic evening.
