Trattoria Toscana

Had a reservation before the theatre and was promptly seated. Would highly recommend reservations before theatre, the restaurant was full. Our waiter MJ was wonderful, great suggestions for wine and specials. Had veal martini, out of this world and a seafood special with homemade basil pasta. Presentation was like a 5 star restaurant. The food was excellent and the price was extremely reasonable. The dessert tray looked great but we were to full to have dessert. Ended our meal with cappuccino.I highly recommend this restaurant for your next dinner. Cannot wait to go back. Pros: Excellent food and presentation and wine selection, great service (MJ), make resvervations Cons: a bit nosiy but did not detract from meal in any way more

We came here for my mom's birthday and had a great time! The ambiance is adorable and the food is wonderful (and reasonably priced). It's also got a nice owner/family aura - they have many regulars! Pros: great food, nice vibe, wonderful neighborhood more

I went there for late dinner around 10 pm Sat Night before meeting friends for drinks in the village and was thrilled with the food and the price (considering i was preparing to drop some money on a night out after that). The food was great and the owner was walking around talking with the tables. The place is a nice break for the insanity of Bleecker Street, especially if you plan on being part of it after you eat. Pros: Food, Price, Location, Service more

This resturant is perfect for people who are in need of the ""wine and dine"" with great service catering your food craving without braking your pockets. Dim lights, romantic traditional Italian bistro environment that creates sophistication and warmth, makes me believe no wonder why I proposed to my girl friend. more

OK-It's rustic but new/old with the return of Chef and partner Fazzuoli along with Chef Abreu -These supremly gifted Chefs prepare modern/classic Italian dishes that shine with fresh produce,veal and fresher fish-We loved the Pistaccioso Salmon and the Velvet Lemon Sole-Service!!-I counted five in the kitchen along with two waiters and a bar keep-All for 10 tables!! This means that this Trattoria begs you to order off-the menue and you will have your dish prepared and presented properly.We called with a party of ten-that grew to fifteen-After five courses,some with multiple items-like the Three Pastas-We all sang Italian street songs and finally paid $45/person! One must linger here! Great food-Caring Italian family service and Fresh-Fresh-Fresh!! This is Italiano Dinning at it.s most comforting! Pros: Fresh and Precise -Truly Italiano! Cons: None more

I proposed to my girlfriend at this beautiful restaurant. The staff paid every attention to detail to make this once in a lifetime moment special. The food had bold flavors with fresh ingredients and lavish portions. The wine selection was excellent and I can't say enough about the staff. My girlfriend was so please with everything and I can't wait for my next visit. Pros: Service more

This is the best restaurant , I have been to in awhile. The food is outstanding, the service extraordinary and the prices easy to swallow and worth every penny. If you are looking for a romantic place to take that special someone then this is the place.\r \r I recommend starting with the anti pasta, ceaser salad withamazingly fresh anchovies. Then try the calami and shrimp appertizer. Its not on the menu but they will make it up for you. After you second glass of wine, its time for the main course... I went for the veal...omg...This place is a piece of heaven in the village.\r \r I highly recommend it. Pros: Great food , service and ambiance. more

I love this quaint and authentic restaurant. Everything that I have ordered has been delicious!! Great service, warm hospitality, it's a wonderful place for a group dinner or a date. The ambience is relaxing and cozy. The prices are very inexpensive. The food is excellent. I highly recommend Trattoria Toscana, (formerly known as Oreste Trattoria). If you haven't gone yet, you don't know what a gem this restaurant is! Enjoy! more

If you want authentic, mouth-watering cuisine, affordable prices, and a host and chefs that will truly take care of you, then I highly recommend Trattoria Toscana (formerly Oreste). My friends and I visited the restaurant after hearing Franco Fazzuoli (formerly of NYC's C'entanni, Zinno's, and Franco's Italian Caffe in AZ) had returned to NY. We loved the space on Carmine Street which allows for pre-dinner drinks at the bar or drinks and appetizers at outside tables for people watching. The ambiance inside is like being in Tuscany as one friend put it. A few of our favorites were the special appetizer plate which includes burrata, prosciutto with figs, filet mignon with a type of green sauce, sliced tomato with marinated white anchioves, and seafood salad and the incredible Porterhouse steak which two people shared because of the portion size. Another friend loved the Alaskan King Salmon toppped with pistachio nuts. I had the traditional chicken and sausage with peppers and mushrooms in a balsamic sauce -- to die for! The wine list includes some beautiful Italian and California wines. I think what my friends and I enjoyed most about this restaurant was that the owners/chefs are there to nurture and feed the patrons not to feed their egos which we've experienced so much in NYC and LA. Trattoria Toscana is the real deal. Pros: Authentic cuisine, Great Host and Chefs, Bar area, outside seating Cons: Need a Trattoria Toscana in LA! more

Great Food, Great Service, Nice location, and beautiful restaurant!! Go to Oreste Trattoria, recently renamed Trattoria Toscana by the new owners: Franco and Ramon, and have a wonderful dining experience! The Tuscan atmosphere and Venetian pictures give the restaurant a welcoming and cozy feeling. Small, cozy place, but very romantic if you need it to be, and great for groups. The wait staff are very friendly, and the food is out of this world. Definitely a must go! The long bar is also very nice and drinks are very good. Won't leave a hole in your pocket.\r \r See the reviews for Oreste Trattoria. This new restaurant named Trattoria Toscana, formerly known as Oreste Trattoria, is a beautiful restaurant with outdoor seating and great & delicious food.\r \r The host makes you feel at home, and the chefs serve exquisite dishes to make your dining experience at 64 Carmine Street a fabulous & enjoyable event. Pros: Delicious Food, Great Host, Great Chef, Friendly Staff, Reasonable prices, Nice Looking Place, Good Wine list and outdoor seating more

So many choices. Either bring a date or a group of friends, full dinners or just pasta. The staff makes you feel as if you are part of the family. The portabello mushrooms could be the best in the city!!! Pros: good food, nice wine list more

Great Food, Great Service, Nice location, and beautiful restaurant! What can I say, but say go and have a wonderful experience! The brick oven gices the restaurant a welcoming and cozy feeling.

The bar is also nice and drinks are very good. Won't leave a hole in your pocket. Pros: Delicious Food, Reasonable prices, Nice Looking Place more
