toscana

slowestservicei have ever experienced. the food was very bland and my white wine was served warm. the restaurant was empty except for the patio and the atmosphere is very tacky. the only memorable thing was how nice the bathrooms smelled.

lasagna is overdone and bland. asked for more bread and never got it. in my opinion its overpriced with poorserviceand mediocre food.

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 the group apart by offering a truly different menu? and two items our group ordered were nothing special (snapper and lasagna). only my hubby's mare (a high-end version of seafood linguini) was worth getting again.
3)servicewas 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.

slowserviceat lunch and an annoying phone that kept ringing. the food was delicious.

love the atmosphere out on the patio.. there is no place more charming than the patio at toscana on a pleasant summer evening. i love it. theserviceis very attentive and the food is good - perhaps not the best in charlotte but certainly good. we took my mother there for her 93rd birthday and the waiters charmed her with their crown of stars, their songs, champagne and complimentary desert for the table. my husband and i have had more subdued evenings but have enjoyed delightful meals on the terrace.

meh...it's okay. i was with a group of 9. theservicewas great, the menu was great but overall, it just wasn't anything to write home about. i had the portabella and goat cheese salad to start off with. it tasted great until i ate a bite of the portabella..holy jesus, it was so salty i almost choked. i can understand and even tolerate a little too salty but this was bad. gordan ramsy would've sent it back and told them it was crap. then i had the sole. it was good but not great..very small portions considering it was $23 a plate. i won't be back..i'd give it 3 out of 5 stars
