I was meeting some friends for dinner and one of them said they wanted to try Toscana. It was a beautiful night out so we decided to dine outside. It was a beautiful evening and we were excited to try a new place.
I ordered the wedding soup to start. It took awhile for it to come but I was very pleased with it. It was wedding soup but the flavor took it to another level. There were small meatballs, bits of chicken, tiny pasta, spinach and a few other things. It was hearty.
I shared the Beans and Greens appetizer with friends. It had white beans and greens and they were delicious. There was a bit of heat which added even more to the dish. Once we were eating it there was not one bean or green left.
For my entree I ordered the Meatball dish served with herbed pasta. It's one of the dishes they are known for. When it was served it was 3 huge meatballs with a small nest of pasta in the center. The meatballs were some of the best I have ever had. They are house made and I would love to know the ingredients. The meatballs had a lot of flavor melded together. I didn't have much expectation for the pasta but I was completely surprised. It was fresh made with a very light Alfredo type sauce with fresh herbs on top. There were several layers of flavor. They were delicious by themselves. I could have had just the pasta and I would have been happy.
The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that the service wasn't up to par. Our server was nice but there would be long periods of time between check ins.
We will definitely go back to try more dishes. One of my friends got Chicken Marsala and raved about how good it was. One of my other friends had a veal dish and she couldn't say enough about how much she enjoyed it. It ALL looked fabulous.
