When my wife had to switch to a Gluten Free diet she was kind of devastated, but after having the GF pasta and GF cheesecake at Cafe Toscano she was thrilled!

If you are looking for a great meal and within an hour of Aurora I would suggest Cafe Toscano is more than worthy of your time and money!

We sat at the bar. There were 3 of us. We each ordered something different. Spaghetti and meatballs, lasagne, and a pizza. The spaghetti and meatballs were a large portion.

Toppings were OK pizza is big. 3 people can eat it. I thought it was good. The sauce was a bit salty to me. The pizza is thin and it was cooked well. The place is from the 70's.

After seeing all of the outstanding reviews and praise online, I was really looking forward to…read morefinally trying this restaurant. Unfortunately, I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. Perhaps my expectations were simply too high, but the overall experience didn't quite live up to the hype for me. One of the restaurant's biggest advantages is its location. Although it's situated in a quieter part of Little Italy, there's plenty of street parking, and the restaurant also has its own parking lot--a huge plus in the neighborhood. Upon entering, you're greeted with the ambiance of an upscale Italian restaurant. The dining room is elegant and inviting, and our server, *Maci*, was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout the evening. The meal began with a complimentary basket of baguette-style bread served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar--a nice start but the bread itself was averate For appetizers, my wife and I shared the Baby Arugula Salad, which was average, and the Eggplant Parmesan, which was probably the standout dish of the evening. Our daughter ordered the Caprese Salad, which she enjoyed overall, although we all felt it was a bit too salty. For our entrées, my wife and I shared the Halibut. While it was prepared well, we both agreed it had a stronger "fishy" flavor than we expected. The accompanying baby potatoes, however, were excellent. Our daughter ordered the Ricotta and Black Truffle Stuffed Pasta. She enjoyed it, but found it to be richer and heavier than anticipated--she was expecting a lighter pasta dish. Dessert, unfortunately, was the biggest disappointment of the evening. We decided to try what appeared to be the restaurant's three signature desserts: Tiramisu - As soon as it arrived, our daughter commented that it looked unusually light in color, and she was right. It tasted much more like vanilla than coffee, lacking the bold espresso flavor we typically expect from a tiramisu. Cappuccino Chocolate Mousse - This was overwhelmingly sweet. I could only manage a couple of bites before it became too much. Hazelnut Bomb (the daily dessert special) - Despite its name, we couldn't detect much hazelnut flavor at all. It tasted more like a rich chocolate dessert than anything distinctly hazelnut. Before ordering, we asked if the kitchen could prepare smaller tasting portions so the three of us could sample all three desserts without wasting food. The request was declined. I completely understand why the restaurant may not accommodate special requests like that, but I do wish they offered a dessert tasting option. As it turned out, we ended up leaving more than half of each dessert untouched. Given its location in the heart of Little Italy, I can certainly understand why this restaurant has earned such a strong reputation. The atmosphere, service, and presentation are all very good. However, for us, the food simply didn't match the expectations created by its stellar reviews. Overall, it was a pleasant evening, but not one that would make us eager to return when there are so many outstanding Italian restaurants in the area.

And Saturday night is date night so we were going out no matter what. Now, lest you think we are completely out of our minds, we had resigned ourselves to staying near home and for this evening, fine dining was out of the picture. So we chose an ever popular with the masses, little, community centered Italian restaurant close by. "Dino's Restaurant" is a mainstay local eatery that has been serving good Italian food to my community for ever. I really don't know how long they've been here but I've been here over 50 years and I'm sure they've been here before me. That alone speaks volumes to the quality of food and service you can expect there. Is the food the best I've ever had... probably not... my Nona's was the best. Is it as good as some of the extraordinary dishes I experienced at the high caliber establishments? That's not apples to apples. This is every night of the week, just got home from work, Italian family all sitting around the dinner table waiting for momma to bring out the evenings offerings, food. It's not fancy. It's not something you never heard of. It's simply good, wholesome, stick-to-your-ribs, eat till you can't eat anymore food. I enjoyed a fresh, crispy salad with vinegar & oil and dry blue cheese. Followed by 3 big pieces of "Chicken Piccata" in a nice sauce. With a side vegetable and a refreshing "Arnold Palmer" to wash it all down. Afterwards we enjoyed a good cup of coffee and a slice of "Mascarpone cake". When my wife and I were done I was presented a bill for $61.00. And I took home enough food for at least 1 more meal... maybe more Now you can't beat that. My recommendation... You should go.
