I have been to this fantastic comtemporary Italian gem twice now and both times I have been more than delighted. Both times I asked for something that was not on the menu (Putanesca) and both times the staff just said "no problem" and delivered some on the best Italian food I have had on this side of the Atlantic. All the staff (including the owner) were wonderful hosts and added to the enjoyment of the great food and comfortable atmosphere. This is certainly a "go back again" place - and you must try the pizza! Pros: service, attitude, atmosphere and food quality Cons: could not find any

I love this pizza place! A friend brought me here, and now I bring my friends here. They have the best Italian in town.

Phenomenal food especially considering price. A little hard to find but worth it. everyone talks about "authentic Italian" but the chefs there just got off the plane from Italy. Service was very friendly despite the dinner rush. I wanted something different & had Risotto ai funghi, porcini, e tartufo (rice w/ truffles, mushrooms, onions & Parmesan) Exceptional dinner experience including home-made desserts for chain restaurant prices. Pros: food & service Cons: little out of way

I really recommend the Cantina Toscana; the choice of food is really big, you can get for example yummy italian antipasti like the ghiottone one with great fried bread stripes and lovely prosciutto ham. I also enjoyed the Focaccia (white pizza) with stracchino cheese, another tasty and characteristic product of Italy that I love! The atmosphere inside of the restaurant is very pleasant; the owners are great guests and make you feel at home; I also appreciated the inside decoration very simple but classy at the same time.
