Toscana Restaurant & Lounge

Underwhelming! Felt like a nice atmosphere with high prices and Applebee food quality. GLUTEN free eaters take note, I asked to confirm if the Salmon with vegetables and rice with butter sauce was 'gluten free' so imagine my surprise to see a $3 surcharge on the receipt for gluten free. 1st time in ANY restaurant there were a 'gluten free' surcharge without even having anything specific being Gluten free! What exactly did they do differently to an already gluten free meal is beyond my comprehension. I had inquired what noodle option was 'gluten free' and was told only 1 noodle option ( Rigatoni I think?) so I did not bother with a gluten free noodle dish. Now the meals for both of us were underwhelming and 'not good'. (for me the Salmon felt dry, old and stinky and my 91 year old friend said her Marcella wasn't very good either and the sauce way too salty). So the servant staff was very nice but that's where our experience today ends. Our bill with 2 soft drinks was $57 before tip for LUNCH. We agreed we will not return. ONE AND DONE folks!

Tasteless and overpriced food. Food was not good. Italian food tastes much better than this! This Italian restaurant is widely advertised and we were looking forward to eating here. We were sorely disappointed. Gluten-free options was a disappointment. No gluten-free bread. The taste was not good even for the regular items. Service was not great. We ordered: Steak wrap - $15 no flavor. The meat tasted charred. Veal Vesuvio - $23. Tasted weird and strong flavor of one herb. Chicken Vesuvio - $20 + $2 (gluten free). no flavor.
