Toscana is one of those places. You know the ones, after your first bite you wonder why you have never been there before. The charming (Italian handsome) waiters, the delightful decor, the Italian opera playing faintly in the background gives the impression of lazy summer days on Piazza Navona eating Pistachio ice-cream. The whole experience is a joy.

We arrived early (5.30ish) to an empty but welcoming restaurant. The staff were professional, seemed busy, and avoided the awful habit of jumping on the first customers that arrive at the door. We were brought in and allowed to choose our table. The seats were comfortable even if the tables were slightly too close to the next ones, not conducive to private conversation!

The Early Bird/Pre-Theatre menu is priced at e17.95 per person but the main course selection is tiny bit limited for my tastebuds (salmon, lasagne, pasta and chicken!) so we moved on to the A La Carte menu. This is composed of starters to suit most palates including soup, salad, meat, bread and seafood. We opted to share a Crostini starter which arrived a reasonable few minutes later. Thick bread, piping hot and fresh, smothered in tomato and mozzarella cheese, cut in two with ground black pepper = scrumptious.For the mains I went for Filetto di Manzo, charcoal-grilled medallions of fillet steak. It was served with a garlic & herb butter on the side and a generous portion of mixed salad with dressing. The meat itself was cooked just as I had ordered and the salad was crispy fresh. My partner order a pizza with a variety of topppings, it arrived piping hot and I’m assured it was just as tasty as it looked. We were so full that we skipped dessert even though the Apple and Cinnamon Crumble was very appealing!

Our bill came to just under 50 euro (no service charge included) and it seemed very decent for the quality of the organic food we had just consumed. As we were leaving we noticed that the place had become quite busy with plenty of couples, groups and families. It’s a popular spot and not diificult to see why. The food, price and service are just right. Toscana is definitely worth your tastebuds, whatever the occasion.
