Great food, lots of variety. Attentive service. Noise was louder than usual, perhaps more dining out for the holiday? Some mix-up initially regarding the table I had requested as they wanted to seat me at a high top in bar and I had requested low top in dining room. After about 5 minutes this was resolved to my satisfaction. It's one of our regular go to restaurants and I highly recommend!

Not a great night at Toscana. Initially the waitstaff was fairly attentitive but they were busy that night. The big complaint is from the time our irder was taken for food it took over 45 minutes and much prodding of our waitress to get it on the table. My friend’s swordfish was a very thin and small piece and I know he went away hungry. I think we will choose another restaurant next time. Most disappointed in the slow service.

Always a pleasure to spend an evening at Toscana. The food is consistently delicious - my husband had his regular 36 ounce long bone rib eye and I had pasta. And the service is second to none. Christina always makes us feel like home. Thank you!

They "ran out" of meatballs and calamari at 1pm on a Sunday. They open at noon so not sure how that happens at an "Italian" restaurant. Was the 2 things we were actually looking forward to having there.

The food and service were excellent. It was a busy Saturday night, and the restaurant doesn't really have the space to handle the influx of customers waiting for their tables so the area around the front door, check-in desk and bar was very congested. However, the people checking in were very professional considering how busy they were.

Fabulous experience. Been there many times but last visit was exceptional. Went with the evenings specials and the First Snow cocktail and tritip steak entree were “don’t miss !!” Staff is warm , welcoming and professional. Such a lovely time. Special recognition for Olivia, Marc, Christian and Hannah.

Drinks excellent. Food delicious. Servers excellent. Ambience more Boston than Portsmouth. But a slow down in the kitchen meant our entrees didn’t arrive until more than 2 hours after we were seated. The manager graciously comped us part of our meal & refilled our wine glasses at no charge. Will definitely be back.

1st time here. Came for wife’s birthday and we were both blown away by everything from our server (Dennis) to the steaks and sides. Wife had a lemon martini that was the best either of us ever tasted. Highly recommend here. We will definitely come back
