    The staff was very nice and helpful. Customer service seems to be of great importance to them. The side dishes are generous, and all very tasty.

    Our second time to Toscano, and both times the food, service and ambiance were really special It is ideally located in Harvard Square, and on a cold winter's night it was a warm haven of comfort and quality. Our server was especially solicitous but never intrusive about our need to leave for a concert, and we never felt hurried. There are a number of fine restaurants in the neighborhood, but Toscano is my go-to place when I am in Cambridge.

    Karen Grenier was fantastic! The music, food, and service was wonderful. It was a fun festive evening to celebrate the holiday season. The fish entree, and pepper vodka pasta dishes were excellent. The holiday cocktails were delicious. A favorite spot for dinner and now plan to try their brunch.

    This is my new go to restaurant. I have been for both dinner and brunch - all excellent. The “collection” concept allows one to taste a variety of dishes - fantastic idea. For the brunch, one can order a “mini” Bloody Mary” along with one egg Benedict. At dinner recently shared the arugula fig salad, halibut & had the 1/2 portion of the lamb lollipops. My friend had the 1/2 portion of rib eye. All excellent and the wait staff is incredible! Since I did not want 2 glasses of wine, they offer a 2 ounce glass which was perfect.

    Lovely restaurant in a great location……but the food today did not live up to expectations. Check other recent reviews as it may have been an “off day”.
