Editorial Review for Tuscany – by Virginia Rainey
The Scene
The detail-rich decor at Tuscany is dramatic and inviting. It envelopes diners with high ceilings, hand-painted tiles, terra-cotta floors, a series of richly appointed dining rooms, comfortable seating and lots of windows. Then there are the tantalizing aromas from the open kitchen and wood-burning oven. Outside, the tree-covered patio is a glorious spot to sit and enjoy some fine cuisine.
The Food
Overall, the food is good--and a good value. The herb-crusted beef carpaccio is one of the consistently tasty appetizers, as is the seasonal pear salad with arugula, radicchio, endive, toasted pine nuts and Gorgonzola. Hearth breads (pizzas, basically) are always a good choice, especially for a light meal. The menu includes several pastas, from plump gnocchi to linguini topped with delicious sauces. The entree portions are perfect to share, especially if you a want a meat or seafood dish in addition to pasta.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkThe bar (a private club) offers much more than your average watering hole, including a great martini menu. The wine list is vast, varied and well-matched to the food.
When to GoTry the Sunday brunch buffet with specialties like Belgian waffles, omelettes and eggs Benedict.

The only good thing about this place is the valet!!! I went with my family to Tuscany for dinner on a weeknight. After we were seated it took 20 minutes before we even received water.... 20 minutes later we finally got our drink orders in. I ordered the pork chop.... it took an hour to finally get it! Really, the Village Inn on State St. makes a better pork chop (and for a fraction of the cost). The first one was too dry... almost a sandpaper consistency. I sent it back, the server IMMEDIATELY brought out another one (which means some poor sap at another table probably had to wait longer for his mediocre meat). This one was better, but still I've had better dishes served through a window at 3:00 A.M. from my car. My girlfriend ordered the Risotto, which was good but it came 30 minutes after EVERYONE ELSE AT THE TABLE had received and (half) consumed their meals. Even the Creme Brule was awful... how do you screw that up???? I know that Tuscany used to be a respectable eating establishment... but you can only rely on your reputation for so long. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pros: Valet
