    This is a neighborhood BYOB......we enjoy getting together with friends here.....they always provide good value....and is fairly priced......I never had a bad experience here......but it is a small neighborhood restaurant......I enjoy giving my business to places like this......it is priced right....

    I have been going there every 2 months for about 3 years to reconnect with a number of high school classmates. The food has been consistently great and the staff are welcoming to our rather large group. I highly recommend Tuscany even if it is a bit of a drive (I come from 100 miles away). It is well worth the trip and being BYOB is an added bonus. You won't be disappointed.

    Food is tasteless. Had calamari, it was obviously frozen and predictable packaged. Had Capilano and sausage, sauce was bland, pasta was overcooked and too much for amount of sauce. Caesar salad was just ok, except the croutons had oregano in them which is a weird taste to have in your Caesar salad. Waitresses were good. Ok ambience for a strip mall to place.

    Best BYOB in the northeast! The food is delicious - the portions are huge and they will customize any dish! Great with people who have food allergies, which for me is a must. Calamari, bruschetta, and mussels are all 5 star! Never had an entree that we didn't love. Service is great. Atmosphere is wonderful - great small Italian restaurant feel...a tiny bit noisy but that only adds to the ambiance!!

    Went on Sunday night (yesterday) and wanted to wait till today to post. The restaurant was not crowded but the noise level was extremely high. We ordered the calamari which was tender and cooked perfectly. The appetizer plate was nothing special and the roasted peppers were from a jar. Our waitress was attentive and even made an adjustment on our son's meal with ease. I had the gnocchi with sausage added and it was good but the sauce was a little bland. My wife had the veal Sinatra which was a good portion size but needed more seasoning. I can't believe for a small byob Italian restaurant the pasta is not home made. That was real disappointing. Overall not a bad experience but one of the other waitress had her young daughter chasing her around the dining room crying. I don't ever mind eating out with kids but this just seemed a little over the line. We won't be going back. I was really hoping it was going to be a go to BYOB in NE Philly. Our search will continue!

    Tuscany is a favorite of mine and my family. In October 2014, we had my mother's 60th birthday dinner there. With the new space in the basement, the restaurant was able to accommodate about 35 of us. The food was amazing (as always), and everyone had a wonderful time. This restaurant is a neighborhood gem.

    There was no wait we had a table right smack in the middle of 3 parties, it was very loud and very warm I could not even hear myself think and it was really pricey for food that wasn't "out of this world" I think I'm going to stick to Olive Garden.

    Took my wife here last Friday night. Was very surprised upon entering. Nicely quaint. The staff was very nice the entire time we were there especially the young man waiting on us. My wife had a pasta and red sauce with chicken and broccoli rabe. She thought of her dish as average. I had the special. It was chicken and artichoke hearts over fettuccine with and alfredo sauce. I loved it and would definitely have it again. I recommend stopping in here.

    Ate there last nite with my wife, food was great! Had the Veal Oscar special. Wife's dish was excellent. Only problem was the noise ---it was overwhelming. We wanted to get ou as soon as we were finished. We will order takeout from now on.

    I like the fact that this is BYOB, however that's about all I like about Tuscany. The place is small and I felt a little uncomfortable. The place is insanely loud with too many tables crammed into the tiny space. We went with a party of 6 and had made a reservation but still had to wait 20 minutes for our table. The service was pretty poor, with our waitress taking forever to get us our drinks and bread. The food was mediocre at best and sloppily presented on our plates. Can't say I will ever return to this place.

    I've eaten dinner here a couple of dozen times in the past year or so. The calamari appetizer is freshly prepared, in a light batter and is tender and tasty, with a delicious, fresh-tasting marinara sauce. The clams appetizer is served in a wonderful broth that will have you wiping the bowl with bread to get the last of it. The main course menu is extensive, and everything I have ordered has been fresh and very good. Each of the different sauces has good body and depth of character that demands to be savored. On one visit, the caesar salad's dressing was watery, and the clams were rather salty, but that's the only negative experience I've had. It's BYOB. The prices are very reasonable, and the portions are large. Appetizers and dinner for two is $50 or less before tip, and you will probably leave with a doggy bag. Service is prompt and attentive, without being fawning. The place is small and crowded and it can be a bit noisy when it's busy, but to me that's part of the fun and it's one of the reasons why I dine here regularly now

    First of all, I love BYOB's. Good value for a nice night out at Tuscany. We are regulars and I have always received good food here. But they are just around the corner from great.

    I got a gift certificate to Tuscany for Christmas, so my partner and I decided to eat here last night. The exterior is very deceiving - it is in a tiny strip shop chain obscured by a large car dealership directly off the boulevard. Do NOT let this unassuming exterior deceive you - the place is well worth it to eat at! Our reservation was for 8PM, and we were greeted enthusiastically and seated immediately at a table for two. My initial impression was that the decor could definitely use some modernization with a bit more italian influence for an italian restaurant. The dining area was definitely tight, but not so tight that I got bumped into non-stop or or felt uncomfortably close to strangers. The establishment was about 85% full, and was not as noisy as I would have expected it to be for such a small dining area with so many seats crammed in. It was a little louder than the average restaurant though due to size. Overall impression was that it was a homely and inviting atmosphere, even with it having a pretty cramped dining room. Our server greeted us and offered to open our bottle of wine immediately, asked if we would like any other drinks with it and brought us waters and wine glasses. She told us the specials and was friendly and pleasant to talk to. The menu was extensive so we asked what was good and she mentioned a few popular items as well as her personal favorite, one of which I got and was not disappointed! We started with the Appetizer Sampler, which was the least impressive of everything we ate, although it had its high points. It came out in a timely manner just after our complimentary bread/oil arrived (the oil mixture was delicious - not the best I've had but up there, bread was warm and fresh) The sampler consisted of a plate of motzarella, sharp provolone, cucumber, tomato, shrimp, and red-roasted peppers all drilled in what seemed to be the same oil mixture as what was given to dip in the bread. The shrimp was delicious and the combination or red-roasted peppers / sharp provolone was great (put it on the bread for a mini sandwich!) I was disappointed with the cucumbers/tomato/motzarella because there was no balsalmic vinegar to contrast the oil flavors. Had there been balsalmic on there, it would've been a home run taste. Presentation was also disappointing - items looked to have been haphazardly placed on the plate and I would've loved more of the cheeses/meats and less of the tomato/cucumbers. Salads arrived next (both of us ordered Caesar salads) and tasted great. It arrived after we finished our appetizer, unlike so many places where they just throw everything at you at once - and we appreciated the timeliness of the expeditor. Salad was appropriately dressed and fresh. There was no cheese on the salad but grated cheese you could add yourself on the table - I recommend doing so. Only suggestion would be to add croutons to the preparation! Entrees were next - I ordered the Chicken Sinatra after very begrudgingly passing on my favorite dish - the Chicken Parm (I saw one come out just after ordering the Sinatra and almost changed the order because it looked so good!) Boy am I glad I stuck with the highly recommended Sinatra - it was FANTASTIC. Chicken cooked perfectly, sauteed in a white wine / garlic sauce and topped with crab meat. By far, a 5-Star dish. I told the server I love vodka sauce and she told me I could substitute marinara for vodka sauce on my side dish of pasta - another excellent recommendation as the vodka sauce was stellar. Portions were plentiful and reasonably priced. The Sinatra was a little more than other dishes but is well worth it! I had to bring some of both the chicken and pasta home with me - and already ate it this morning - delish! Partner ordered eggplant parm and was impressed with the taste, portions, and price. He also substituted the vodka sauce and was not disappointed. I saw a lot of desert dishes go out and they all looked great but I was too stuffed from the entrees to order any :-( Overall, Tuscany was a great night out! Finally - a NE Philly Italian restaurant I can boast about! Overall Taste - 4.5/5 Decor / Ambiance - 3/5 Service - 4.5/5 Presentation - 3.5/5

    Awful experience! Never returning. My husband and I came here for valentines. I had been once before and had an okay experience but this was his first time. We were informed that there was a special 5 course menu for $30 a person. We were initially excited then shocked to find out that there was NO special menu! You order off the regular menu and they (this isn't a joke) counted the salad (that says right on the menu comes with your meal) as a course! They also counted the pasta that was a part of my shrimp scampi dish as the side!!! As if this wasn't enough the table can only get one appetizer and the best one was excluded from "the deal". My husbands meal was terrible, steak chewy, thin and not properly cooked. Plate wasn't dressed with any love. My salad was small and brownish. Even the coffee was terrible. The only saving grace was the wine we brought and the fact that we were able to laugh at just how bad things were! This place is greedy, lazy and does not respect it's customers by robbing them blind. "5 courses" was actually "2 1/2". We will never ever return and have been telling everyone about this experience. Shame on the owners and chef at this place. Shame.

    I ordered Veal Parmesan and the veal was as tough as leather. I couldn't even finish it.

    Yes- it does get loud here but don't let that deter you. Every byob in Philly is small and loud- it's expected! Service was fantastic, very attentive and the food was great! The ravioli rosa was a crowd pleaser. For the price and quality of food- definitely worth a trip! I would put this place up there with some of my favorite South Philly Italian joints! Any byob is friend of mine.

    I've been a customer of Tuscany since they first opened their doors. My Daughter in law had her wedding rehearsal party there. We have noticed that over the last year, the quality and quantity of the food has diminished. Tonight my wife ordered scallops and when the plate came out there were only 4 small scallops that had no taste and the consistency of rubber, the green beans were over cooked. There are too many good restaurants in this city so we will no longer be going to Tuscany It is unfortunate because it started out as a decent restaurant.

    This was my first visit . Service was great, waitress was very friendly and efficient, prices were reasonable and the food was very good and the portions large. The bread and salad that was complimentary were fantastic. I had the lasagna which was melt in your mouth . My wife had a pasta primavera which was rich and flavorful. It is a small place but while very busy and packed was not too noisy. Will be returning again and again!

    Tuscany is a great neighborhood Byob. Dishes out some great Italian classics and is also very affordable. I recommend making a reservation on the weekend and any time there will be 4+ people in your party. Avoid the center table tho as it can be loud at times.

    Just got back from eating here. We went because of a gift card. Our waitress was great, but that's where it ends. I think a meal really started to go downhill when the stink bug crawled out of the chicken caesar salad and on to the table. We did bring it to the waitresses attention, the waitress was shocked and took the meal away, replaced it, and didn't charge us - great move and what they should have done. However my scallops were beyond tasteless (though it's hard for them to pick up on any taste due to their nature) and the sauce they had it with was really bad. My sister's chicken marsala was salty and bland. We are pretty laid back when we go out and eat, but were expecting way more. And how hard is it to mess up Italian food? After reading reviews before posting, it seems like we are not alone....bummer and lessoned learned.

    Tuscany is very small. I would have never known is was there had it not been for someone asking me if I'd eaten there before. The place could use some Italian decor. We were there for an early dinner so we were the only customers but being so small, I could easily see it getting loud when its full. The food was great and plentiful! I thought the prices were reasonable. Here is what we had along with the standard bread and oil and salads: Fried Calamari Chicken Alla Toscana Breaded cutlet topped w/broccoli rabe, garlic and baked with mozzarella cheese, in light marinara sauce Ravioli Rosa cheese ravioli topped with roasted peppers in blush sauce

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
