Let me start by saying " I think it was wonderful that the waitress asked if any members in my party ( there were six of us) had any allergies." By the way, medications and cats do not count. The place was lovely, servers friendly, and very nice menu choices. They brought us bread ( five pieces of bread for six people) so we asked for more but never received it. We did not request this through our " main" server but someone who seemed to be assisting. I think a better system should be put in place regarding the bread if there are large parties. Maybe add different choices of things like crackers, bread, flatbread, etc. The menu offered a nice selection and everyone enjoyed their meals. I was even able to substitute an item which was nice. I thought the prices were a bit high but what isn't high priced in New York? The waitress came by to check on us as well as a manager which was good service. We did not order dessert but we did have a nice treat, the musical group who brought lots of good tunes our way. We had to be somewhere after dinner so we did not stay too long to hear the talented group but we'll definitely get a listen when we return. Overall, the place was nice, the food was good, the servers were kind, and we got to sing and dance. Update **** I went back this weekend to celebrate my mom's Birthday and everything was incredible! The food was phenomenal, the employees were so attentive, and the singing by Alyson was out of this world. Folks, you need to stop by for some food and some entertainment . And remember to tip your waitresses and waiters, they work very hard for their money. read more

The older woman Mary who was a gem of a hostess is the best thing about this restaurant! She makes it feel like home and is always recommending the best dishes! Besides the good food and drinks, she always makes it feel like we are welcomed back everytime! read more

service was slow and came out at different times for the four of us, food was small serving size and very bland, expensive for small portions and not the best food, took 3 hours from start to finish for the four of us to have 3 course, do not recommend this place at all, the ambiance was ok, able to sit outside on patio with your drinks while we waited forever for our food. read more

Restaurant week is always a good opportunity to check out a new place. My daughter and I decided to try out IL Toscano since we've never been. The restaurant week menu looked interesting. Arrived on time for our 6:45 reservation, took them about 10 minutes to figure out the reservation and a place to seat us. From the beginning things just seemed disorganized. Sat at our table for about 20 minutes until the manager came by and asked if anyone had been by the table and took our drink order. Then another 20 minutes later we got our drinks. During that time, another gentleman who claimed to be our waiter and did not introduce himself said he would be "taking care of us". The manager then came back and took our dinner order. Not once during our two courses did our "server" come check on us or ask if we wanted another drink. 20 minutes after we finished dinner, our "server" brought us spoons for our dessert which we didn't get until another 25 minutes later which we got to go after asking for the check cause we were tired of waiting. Our total time there was 2 hours for 2 people who ordered food with small servings. We spent most of the 2 hours waiting. I can be very patient but even this visit tried my patience. We finally learned our servers name when he dropped the check. Logan, I would highly recommend that you introduce yourself to your tables by your name, spend some time checking on your guests, maybe have a little conversation and I'm sure your gratuity's will improve. For the other "managers" walking around the dining room, I would also suggest spending less time looking over peoples shoulders and stopping to talk to them to ask how everything is. My daughter and I were out for a nice evening and we felt like the red headed step children. I'm now headed to Taco Bell for something to eat. read more

This is a seriously great Italian steakhouse that is just out of the way so not many people know about it yet. The food is always top notch and the service is on point as well. They have a great menu and always have great specials too that I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed in any way here and will find yourself going back often as we do. read more

would not reccomend for a large party. very unorganized and the service was not great . I few of my guests had cancelled last minute due to illness and he charged me for the number of people even though they did not show nor did he offer to give any food or compensate. Food was ok but felt rushed towards the event due to large party booked on the next room. read more

It was a nice restaurant with good wait staff but the food was sub par and too expensive for what was given. tiny portions and they cost double what they would at other places. the quality was also not great. steak was overcooked and fish was undercooked. flavors weren't great either. overall food was 3/10 and service was 7/10. read more

Absolutely love this place. Had the Seabass, which was excellent, and they had live music, which I always enjoy.

Soo where to begin....had a reservation for 8pm....walked in they said table is not ready even tho I could see empty tables okay we will go to the bar....had one beer and a double shot of Tito's....30$ wtf...wouldn't let us carry bar tab to table why cause they probably don't pay their bar staff accordingly....have no problem spending money but right from the gate I see what goes on.....we graciously left and went to Taormina and no reservation sat us immediately had stuffed artichoke, fried calamari , Bronzino and veal marsala.....Il Toscano this is not Manhattan so you will probably go under just like Hooks and Chops...know your audience cause there are many good steak house's but I will take a good mom and pop restaurant any day and spend money read more

Amazing food and amazing service! We would recommend this restaurant a million times.

This was our first visit to IL Toscano..we were looking for a solid restaurant not too far from home to add to our regular rotation of dinner spots. IL Toscano did not disappoint....: ) We started with the clams casino and portobello & goat cheese...the clams were savory and full of flavor the portobello was a perfect combo of tartness and earthiness. My wife had the 10oz filet which came out a perfect medium rare and had a wonderful charred crust. I had the pesto crusted sea bass which was absolutely mouth watering and I had not read the entire menu description so I was presently surprised to find huge chunks of lobster in my Yukon golds....: ) We finished off dinner with the Italian cheesecake crème brûlée (recommended by our wonderful server). This was a perfect combination we never thought would work, adding ricotta cheese to a velvety smooth brûlée seemed counter intuitive but it actually added to the smoothness while infusing the flavor of the ricotta....nice job...we have added IL Toscano to our regular rotation. read more

really, really good. kind of a tough location for a restaurant but i hope they will succeed, because we plan on making this part of our regular rotation. the menu had a unique spin with some really good flavors, and the caponata was the BEST i have had... BEAUTIFUL place as well. will be back !! read more

We had a horrible experience last Saturday night, the hostess blamed us for holding up the restaurant, because we were a party of 10... Food was served three hours after our reservation people kept running over to the table and asking us what was wrong... There was no food! Horrible service very expensive not worth the price and certainly will not be back read more

The food and service was perfect! We had a delicious meal in a lovely restaurant for our anniversary!

We love trying new local restaurants. Were big fans of Hooks and Chops. Not big fans of this place. We were seated outdoors as we requested but there were so many bees that we had to go inside. The food was very disappointing. Butternut squash ravioli was thick and starchy. Was supposed to be served with lobster but I only got shell, no lobster meat. We brought it to the attention of the staff and were told that was the way it was supposed to be. Good Luck. We won't be back. read more

Went for the first time last night. First off, our server, Logan, was the best. Incredibly friendly, funny, and personable. When my wife ordered a new drink because she wasn't a fan or her original order, her new drink was comped. The food, itself, was excellent, my wife and I both had the lobster bisque special to start and it was absolutely phenomenal. Our only gripes were that the service was a bit slow, which is to be expected for a new restaurant working out the kinks, and that it was a bit loud. One last note: there are many options on the menu that have nuts. These items are clearly marked, and Logan explained that the kitchen takes it very seriously. We will definitely be back! read more

A lovely new restaurant with an intriguing menu and really delicious food. The best fried calamari we"ve had in a pap;erthin crust and succ ulent calamarti that we c ouldnt stop eating ...two scrumptious dipping sauces alongside. Generous salads, a yummy caesar and a roquefort...enough so we took some home. I had the wagu thick and juicy pork chop. Not a fan of the kale served on the side but scarfed down all the mashed potato and sauteed onion I ordered. Too full for dessert but will leave room on my next visit. The place is lovely with a most welcoming, caring staƒf. There is plenty of outdoor seating. We will return. O0h. Ate there last night 5/23. read more

This was mine and my wife's a second time visiting the food is delicious very well prepared both in quality and presentation. Proportionately you get what you pay for for your dinner entrées and appetizers and is reasonable for what you get. Where I feel a little let down is at dessert as I said, this was our second time dining, and both times the desert was Very small we went with some friends our second time and they got some gelato. It was supposed to be two scoops but it was more like one scoop cut in half myself, and my wife got the crème brûlée cheesecake and I would dare to say there was barely enough for one person, both myself and my wife and our friends feel that we will definitely be going back for dinner but, we will just be saving our money when it comes to dessert time and go elsewhere read more

Excellent experience as a new restaurant. The food was delicious. Every dish was on point and super flavorful. The food and drinks came out at the proper time and the staff was super accommodating and friendly with my entire family. We will 100% be going back multiple times as the menu had many dishes I wanted to try and based upon everything we tasted tonight, I can't wait to go back. read more

Food is good but needs some minor adjustments. Celebrating my 55th wedding anniversary we decided to try and go to every restaurant in Commack. We had a nice table for 4 and went at 5:30. My daughter and I started with an espresso martini, I don't think the bartender was in yet it was restless. My son is a beer drinker as many are now, few choices but settled on a IPA, didn't have seconds. Entrees, my husband and I had the suggested pork chop, I'm sure it was a Berkshire and it was huge, grilled to perfection however it was brined too long and texture started to change and all you tasted was salt, minor adjustment to fix that in the future. Mashed potatoes we hardly ate, it too much too salty, I brought it home and fixed it for lunch the next day a long with the remainder of the chops which I soaked in water. My daughter had the sea bass which was a tiny piece. My son hate the filet mignon which was $50 but maybe 4 inches tall and cooked perfectly. A gentleman approached our table asking if we wanted more drinks, my daughter told him no we weren't happy with the first one and why. I'll fix it, she said okay I said no. He comes back with two perfect espresso martinis. We were charged for them. We didn't stat for coffee,after dinner drinks or dessert. The restaurant interior is lovely, it's the Hooks and Chops decor we frequented weekly. Parking is more than adequate and wheel chair accessible. There is definitely a need for an upscale restaurant where average entree is around $40 in Commack but the expectation is near superior food and they are not there yet, they can be and I wish them well. read more
