not as expected. i'm torn with my rating of this place. i really wanted to love toscana. but several things just don't let me do that:
1) toscana is small and when full, it's so loud you can barely hear others in your party talking. that's not my idea of a nice dinner out.
2) the menu is too similar to positano (closed for over a year), and luce. but the prices are higher. why don't you set your nicest restaurant in thegroupapart by offering a truly different menu? and two items ourgroupordered were nothing special (snapper and lasagna). only my hubby's mare (a high-end version of seafood linguini) was worth getting again.
3) service was extremely slow, and our server was not very attentive to our group. again, it wasn't what you would have expected from a high-end restaurant.
i much prefer luce over toscana, and will likely never return here for the reasons i mentioned above. if you decide to go, definitely go early to beat the crowd. and try the mare if you like seafood.
