Calamari breading was stiff & tasteless. Wouldn't be surprised if it were pre-packaged and previously frozen. Eggplant parm, should be re-labeled as "eggplant soup". Disgusting. read more

This is one of the few restaurants that I always like everything on the menu. The only problem I have is picking out which entrée to eat. I am never disappointed. I also Love that you can dine outside during the summer. read more

We dined with friends here on a rainy night. The host met us at the door was very friendly and hospitable. Food was delicious! All 4 of us truly enjoyed our dinners. Such a fun place. It used to be a gas station and bike repair shop before it became a restaurant. Only 1 complaint: one member of our party asked for a simple tossed salad and the waitress said (without checking with the kitchen) that they do not have tossed salads. However, there was a Greek salad and a Ceasar salad on the menue. She should have checked with the chef. Surely a simple salad could have been made. read more

Yellow tomato pizza and their antipasti dish are great. Nice atmosphere. Great outdoor seating as well.

I've been several times and the food and service has always been great. I got salmon the first time which was incredible and then pizza the second which was also amazing. I like the atmosphere and location of this restaurant and it's definitely one of my favorites on the south shore so far. read more

The food was great! 1.2 portion at the recommendation of the server was a full delicious meal. The environment was quiet yet lively and i would definitely recommend. The only thing i would say is the bus persons never helped the servers. And appeared maybe 1x .server was awesome! read more

Pizza is awesome. You cannot ask for a better bartender than Meghan. Her drinks are the best!

Last time we went Caffe Tosca was great, excellent food and service. Service was good this time but ordered Chicken Parmigiano, which was very spicy without any mention of spice on menu. I asked the server about the spices, she said many patrons ask for no spice. This was not helpful to me. There was no offer to fix the problem. Choose your dishes very carefully. read more

First time there and it was absolutely delicious! Don't each too much of the bread and perfect marinara sauce it will fill you up before the best yet to come! The shrimp scampi was out of this world! Lots of shrimp! The generous portion of pumpkin ravioli was the best I've had ! Wonderful sauce with pieces of pumpkin and beautiful presentation. The Margherita pizza was very tasty and huge! Dessert was heavenly a large portion of tiramisu you will need to share or not :). Service was wonderful by Christina! Very attentive and friendly. It is a bit loud when the bar area is full - but it is a great restaurant and looking forward to returning very soon!! read more

Every time we go there the food is great, especially pizza - true Italian. Nice relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff. Been there few times and planning on coming back in the future. Fresh seafood! Thumbs UP! read more

One of my top three restaurants on the south shore, my wife and I have been here several times. The latest occasion was to celebrate my dad`s 60th birthday. He is from northern Italy and loved every aspect of the menu. The ambiance was great and the food was superb. I am looking forward to celebrating another special occasion here. read more

I'm sorry, but a filet mignon does not have gristle and fat. Nope. Tonight, I ordered a filet mignon, but I have NEVER had a filet mignon served with a gigantic chunk of fat and gristle, until tonight. The company was awesome, as always. Also, servers should make something up when asked about a wine or a plate. I mean, at least LOVE the most expensive plate, right? NEVER respond "I don't know." and leave it there! read more

Went tonight - sat outside and enjoyed the perfect mix of warmth and ocean breeze... The food and service were fabulous. The shrimp dish was summery and fresh (don't discover the pesto underneath too late!) and the salmon looked beautiful but there was a problem... It rested on a bed of foccacia and clams/clam chowder which had BACON in it. I do not eat bacon and it was not in the menu description. Told the waitress and she immediately took it away, no questions asked, just apologies. The manager came and apologized too. (I wondered if this was the first time such had occurred - I cannot be the first to be surprised at bacon in clam chowder - Though the menu did favor pork and other pig parts). Got the salmon back bacon-free and it was DELISH! Crispy yet perfectly cooked in the middle - not an easy thing to accomplish. And the clam chowder was light and it was fun pulling the clams from the 7 or 8 shells they gave as well. Oh and the hearty bread they gave at the start was also yum. Thanks waitress Lauren :) read more

A lovely venue, we sat on the patio. Super attentive FoH and servers. The tagliatelle with lobster was fabulous, as was the turtle cheesecake. My dc wasn't too happy w. what he ordered, but wants to return as he recognized they have excellent dishes. We'll be back soon! read more

Sister restaurant to Tosca! Wow, this place has to be good, right? Well, it is ok. The location is grand and the outdoor seating is nice but the food was not quite as good as I had expected. While not terrible, it was not at the caliber of the original. The food was good, not great, so it isn't one of those places that I have been dying to go back to. Service was also a little spotty so that didn't help. It has been a while so maybe it is time to try again. If I do, I will write an update. read more

Caffe Tosca was quite a lovely dining experience and I'm so glad I finally ate there after all my years of living in Hingham! Sitting outside is so nice on a pleasant summer evening -- there are christmas lights on the trees and it's very cute, although it only overlooks the street and traffic on 3A. On a Monday or Tuesday night, you can get a dinner for 2 special for 49$ which includes an appetizer, two entrees, and a dessert... not a bad deal! The greek salad was DELICIOUS. The pasta dishes that my boyfriend and I ordered were tasty and generously portioned. The tiramisu was also fantastic. Definitely go here and eat on the outdoor terrace before the cold weather starts to kick in! read more

I'm a regular here and love it. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is: The menu could use a few more regular entrees. The seasonal items are great and the staples are delish - I would just like to see maybe another 3-5 regular items that I like and know I can look forward to. I've always had a great experience with the staff including wait staff, bartenders, hostess and the manager. They've all been friendly to me though I understand what a couple reviewers mean when they say some folks need to "warm up" a little. We usually get the same server and she's always excellent so I'm happy. The ambiance is really nice - relaxed but polished. Prices are reasonable. Good drink selection. Love the patio and big windows...always something interesting to look at. Oh, and: Get their Yellow Tomato Pizza with Feta and Balsamic Drizzle!!!!!! I always ask for extra balsamic reduction on the side to dunk my pizza it. BEST thin crust pizza around, hands down. If the squash ravioli with cream sauce is on the menu (this is a seasonal item) get that, too. Freaking delectable!! read more

More like 3.5 stars if Yelp had 1/2 stars, this is the casual dining sibling of the more famous Tosca right across the street. Café Tosca offers reliable dishes, including the not to be missed Mezzi Rigatoni Bolognese (fa five star dish for sure) and wood grilled pizzas. In the warmer weather, there is outdoor dining. Some to the grilled dishes are a little uneven, which took off a 1/2 star, but still this is a very, very good dining option in the Downtown Hingham area. read more

I have been here a couple times over the past few months. Caffe Tosca has a nice relaxed atmosphere, the food is worth the price, and I have enjoyed the bottle wine selection (though I don't know much about wine). My only small complaint is that the last 2 times we have been, we sat in the back room, and the waitress we received was very gruff and short- not very pleasant. She didn't give us time to look at the menu, she tried to take my husbands plate away while he was still picking on the goodness at the end and I was still clearly eating. She put own a fork for my entree that had a big piece of plastic stuck on it, which means she wasn't really paying attention. We just felt a little rushed and that she was annoyed doing her job. Not the worst service, just not the best! read more

Good food, good service. Romantic patio. No complaints. The swordfish and chicken parm were good. Good size portions, the chicken parm was huge. read more

Food was the most spectacular, flavorful creations ever!! Drink menu is also well done!! 3 snaps up in a circle from me!!

Being from NY I know my Italian food and I've had great Italian in the Boston area. Unfortunately this place was not one of those times. I thought maybe it was just my meal but I was wrong. My wife's meal was god awful too. Let's start with mine. Very basic chicken Parmesan dinner platter. It didn't come with a side salad like most places in NY provide but ok I'm in Beantown so it is what it is. It did come with bread but that was not at all so right away a bad sign. My spaghetti was over cooked and the combo of that and whatever they use for sauce made me yearn for a canned pasta - it was that bad!!! Ok maybe the chicken. There was certainly plenty and the pieces were think. But no that was worse than the pasta. Rubber with sauce would have been better, in fact that may have been what they served me!!! My wife couldn't eat her rigatoni as the sauce had a wicked bad odor and taste. What a utter disappointment. Will NEVER eat or take out from there again. And oh the pick up guy wanted me to "add 20% for staff?" Are you kidding me for pick up??? Run from this place!!! read more

Highly recommend! The food is amazing, been 3 or 4 times, had a great meal every time. It's reasonably priced, great pasta dishes, delicious pizzas. I had a stuffed acorn squash recently and it was probably the best stuffed squash I've ever had. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is great for any kind of evening. read more

Consistently good. This is my go-to place for a drink with the girls after work, dinner out with the boyfriend and dinner with friends from out of town. I wait for winter to be able to have the pork tenderloin with marscapone polenta. Their pizzas are fantastic, pasta is fresh and delicious, caprese salads are amazing. I don't think I've ever had a mediocre meal there, and I eat there about 10 times a year. read more

Recently came here and sat at the Bar. Bartenders service was awesome. She was also very knowledgeable. Food was great. I got a chicken parm it was awesome and a very large portion. My girlfriend got the Scallops and she loved them. Overall pleasant experience. Food was a bit pricey, but I always say...you get what you pay for. read more

Met two girlfriends here for dinner. The server was wonderful -attentive without being irritating. We each ordered a different salad and then a pizza to share. The beet salad and Caesar salad were fresh and delicious. The winter salad was amazing!!! Beautiful and delicious. We shared the tomatoe pizza. This was delicious as well. My only complaint is that the restaurant is so dark-it was hard to read the menu. read more

The cafe looks appealing with an outdoor eating area. The inside is also appealing decorated simple and rustic. The waitress was friendly and efficient. The food on the other had was very very poor. The portions were over sized. I ordered fried eggplant stuffed with cheese, served as an appetizer. It tasted like it was cooked in old. Oil and had a bad flavor. The other members of my party we disappointed as well. The veal parmigiana was thick with so much batter u could even find the veal and the pasta was over cooked and mUshy. The chicken saltimbocca was like rubber. The only flavor was herbs. Can't imagine the owner of Tosca owns the cafe as well. Tosca is my favorite restaurant on the south shore. Would not recommend tosca cafe. read more

After spending the day at Nantaskut beach, my girlfriend and I were excited to try the much talked about Tosca. Given that we weren't dressed for a formal dinner, we opted to eat at the more casual Caffe Tosca (located directly across the street). Because of the hot summer day we decided to wait for a table inside and enjoy the cooler air and nice ambiance. We waited at the bar until our table was ready....and waited we did. Nearly 10minutes before the bartender even acknowledged that she had new patrons at the other end. The drinks were good so I can't complain any further.....however we didn't come for drinks. When we were eventually seated we ordered the "Traditional Meatballs" appetizer. Being italian myself, traditional means BEEF...not, veal pork & beef, along with whatever other spice and vegetable they could roll into it and create a ball.......regardless, that's fine......maybe it's my fault? If i really wanted beef meatballs, perhaps I should have taken the initiative to ask? However that wasn't even the upsetting part of the night. Our waitress for starters looked miserable! She had zero people skills and was about as impersonal as possible.....BUT even that would have been fine if EITHER of our meals had ANY flavor at all. I kid you not! I ordered the well overpriced Sirloin Steak and my girlfriend ordered the Chicken Saltimbocca and I swear to you, neither one of us could taste anything other than the meat. No marinades, sauces, spices etc... just very plain meat taste! Even our mashed potatoes had ZERO flavor....it was amazing. So i did what I hardly ever do at a restaurant and asked for some steak sauce to liven up slab of meat on my plate. I now began to feel like i was on a Candid Camera....because my steak sauce (you know the sugary/salty/sweet sryup that you smother all over food to give it flavor) HAD NO FLAVOR.....this was almost comical (if the prices were cheaper we would have laughed more). Anyways....the drinks are good (not worth our wait), the atmosphere was nice but pretty pricey when you compare it to the quality (taste) of food. OH WAIT.....they did throw an adorable biscotti on the table with our bill......that's why they got the second star from me. I think this place is just loved by locals that have forgotten what good food tastes like :( read more

great waitress. Poor food.I honestly think they forgot to salad dressing on my beets. My shrimp scampi was mild to say the least. read more

Chicken under a Brick! Amazing! Really great desserts too - you could just go there for a fancy dessert night if you wanted to! Date night - ladies night- special occasion - this is one of the best restaurants on the south shore!! read more

After a beach day we drove past Caffe Tosca and saw the outdoor patio dining and gave it a try. The service and the food were great. Chicken Parmesan (w/ spinach instead of pasta) , Roasted Cod, and the Flatbread Pizza were all delicious. Cocktail menu, wine list, and Craft Beer selection were also solid. If you're looking for a casual dining experience after a South Shore Beach day, this is a great choice. Also kid friendly..!! read more

I had stopped in last week and had really pleasant dining experience outdoors with Alex A as my server. The Host staff was very nice, as well. Look forward to returning. read more

WOW! I was sooooo looking forward to some Bolognese from an established, well received restaurant, so I called in an order and a pizza. The pizza was good, but my husband and I were VERY disappointed with the pasta. Edible...yes. Bolognese...no. Not even close! Clumps of hamburger in a rich cheese sauce that palled in comparison to any Bolognese that I've ever eaten. Shame on you Tosca Cafe. Please, please...don't order this dish from this restaurant! read more

Always touch and go here. Service at the bar is fine, sitting at a table can be a little slow. The yellow tomato pizza and their ceasar salad with white anchoves is a great meal to share. The pasta tasting flight is also lovely with a salad. I do love the hanger steak but if it is soggy then it has been sitting in the back. The antipasto is another hit or miss. The menu lists it as seasonal or chef's choice but it is ALWAYS the same. They recently changed how it is served and we are most unimpressed. A wooden board is presented with portions of the antipasto choices lined next to each other. The fig and ricotta portion which I used to love is now an obscene amount of ricotta cheese. Also the eggplant involtini used to be served hot and now is cold- disappointing. The wine list is pretty good. We have been going here less and less as each time something is off. read more

What happened to Cafe Tosca? The food used to be good. In combination with outdoor dining and nice ambience inside, it was great. Although the menu is much the same, for the past few months the food has been disappointing. A new cook? Lower quality material? Hard to recommend unless they improve the quality of the food. read more

Great Little Spot. Love the food here. The Wild Mushroom Pizza is fantastic! I really enjoy the wine list as well which is all Italian wines and offers a nice change of pace. This is a good spot for a date or quiet night with another couple. The outdoor seating in the summer months provides a really nice setting! read more

My absolute favorite restaurant on the South Shore! It's the perfect mix of casual and a nice night out. Polly is hands down the best bartender I've ever met - cordial, spitfire funny, attentive, and knows that menu inside and out - not to mention she makes great martinis and after dinner espresso drinks! Mushroom risotto is amazing, the meatballs are practically a meal themselves, and all of their pizzas are delicious! Always a positive dining experience!! read more

Great outdoor patio and atmosphere. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Best part is the food. Great bolognese, sausage pizza and special bucatini chicken pasta with prosciutto, peas and porcini. Fantastic! read more

Service was great. Food was on point. Shaved yellow tomato pizza. Prices were great. I love this place. I will be back.

This is my favorite restaurant. You can dine inexpensively on an amazing and large specialty pizza and truffle fries; or go all out on a perfectly cooked filet! Try the outside seating, it's really pleasant. read more
