Perfect old fashioned cocktail, food is phenomenal excellent, good time here will definitely be back
I came here recently for Mother's Day and was greeted with a warm hello from the owner. Il Toscano provides that warm, cozy feel which added to our superb dining experience.
Since it was Mother's Day, we were provided with a special menu. Normally I'm not a fan of holiday-centric menus, but this one provided plenty of variety.
Every dish was delicious so I'll definitely come back another time to try their full menu. Great job, guys!!
Even though the restaurant is somewhat outdated, the food and wait staff is out of this world. Never had a single bed meal there. Also, the desserts are outrageous, the Napoleon cake is by far the best I've had anywhere in the world, including Italy.
The resturant pays attention to the details. Food was amazing! They make FRESH Mozzarella on site which tasted so good! All the staff is attentive, professional and courteous. The owner/manager was very welcoming. Walks around and has quick convo with guest ensuring appreciation of patronage is felt. Very cozy and intimate setting. Reservations recommended, place fills up quick! The authentic in house "homemade" Napoleon Excellent!
The food is fabulous!!!! The lobster is my absolute favorite along with the Caesar salad and their homemade Napoleon. I just love this restaurant so much!!!! Lisa, our server is amazing and so professional!!!! I highly recommend!!!
We started with a lasagna “for the table”, because why wouldn’t we? It is a very good, classic cheesy and saucy lasagna. The perfect start to a “light” meal. We also had the Spedini special which they describe as an Italian grilled cheese with pears. It was really good, and far better than it sounds. The pear provides just the right amount of sweetness. For dinner, I had the lobster special, which is essentially lobster over linguini. It is so good, I get it every time I go. It’s even better now that I discovered they will take the lobster out of the shell so there is nothing to slow me down. We also had the Semolina Crusted Jumbo Shrimp. They were very tasty. Great flavor and just the right amount of crust. Finally, for dessert, a tartufo and napoleon were the perfect finishing touches. A delicious classic Italian meal. I highly recommend Il Toscano.
I love this little gem right next to the train station. This is a really cozy and homey Italian restaurant. A little expensive but worth it. I had the lobster special and it was pretty good. Lasagna is great. I was most impressed by the Napoleon Desert.
Alessandro and his wonderful team made us feel like special guests from the time we arrived until we left. They gave helpful and detailed descriptions of the menu items and specials. The advice on dishes when ordering and while eating added to feeling that the staff was there to ensure we made the most of our dinner. The food was immensely flavorful and the dishes beautifully presented. The level of attentiveness to every detail is unparalleled. Highly recommend everything but if they have the Swordfish special get it and of course save room for the Napoleon!!
Local neighborhood gem. Everyone knows this place and the food is just quality eats. Wait staff is very hospitable and so is the cozy seating. Next to the Douglaston LIRR station, you can't miss it. Excellent food, run to get the foie gras while you still can. And try the lasagna, it's really a great dish.
Food is fantastic but high priced
Portions were good. The specials are the way to go
The waiter was unfriendly and acted like he was doing us a favor serving us.
I hope when I go back that same waiter isn't there or I might not stay
