Food and service are above average and priced fairly. They even have live music on certain nights. Outdoor seating is also available so bring your dog.

We had an early business dinner here. Before 6pm so the place was mostly empty. Nothing was wrong with it. There was no noise level issue, the food was decent, the service was very attentive. The prices were a little on the high side. Maybe not for the quality or location of the restaurant but for me it was just... More

Delicious Italian fare in a low light romantic setting. Varied menu of regional specialties. Attentive service. The zabaglione for two makes a special occasion dessert. Perfectly prepared....light and delicious. When we want a quiet, romantic, delicious dinner out... we think La Tosca!

Reservations honored on time. Service was attentive and timely. Noise level not a problem. My wife could hear each other. Very busy Saturday night. My Sausage and peppers with polenta was mouth watering outstanding,My wife's linguini with scampi was also great. The beet salad we split was perfect. Our first time there. We will be back.

This is the 2nd time we have been to La Tosca in the past 6-7 months. Both times the noise level was SO high that it was impossible to carry on any conversation with our 2 friends. The restaurant has no separate area for groups and our dinner this evening with friends was ruined by a very loud group of... More

My husband And I arrived for a 7:30pm reservation on Valentines evening, we had to wait in a very crowded resturant for an additional 20 minutes along with other couples. There were empty tables but but weren't cleaned for 15-20 minutes. The resturant had taken a couple of their booths outside and put in two rows of tables making it... More
