We came on a Friday night for date night and were sat right away. Got the meatballs for appetizer and they were delicious. I got the veal portofino and my boyfriend got the brisket bolognese and both were great, but we both liked the bolognese best. Never had something like it. And the espresso martini is one of the better ones I've had in the cedar park area. Definitely would recommend read more

Great tasting food but a bit pricey compared to other alternatives. Different takes on recipes but the usual pasta with sauce or fettuccini Alfredo suffices. read more

I have purchased pizza from Tuscano's for several years. The pizzas were incredible. Tonight I ordered two pizzas, a meat lovers and a Margarita pizza. Tuscano's have evidently changed the way they prepare their pizzas. They were tasteless, had little cheese and the crust was like cardboard. Needless to say, this is the last time I will be buying pizza from Tuscano I read more

This is my second time trying and both times was take out. I ordered the white bean soup and honestly it had less than 5 beans in it, I counted. Curiousty peeked as I stirred. Could've been because it was 7:30 pm but I really only got broth with a sprinkle of veggies. The soup could have more flavor. My next visit will be dine in. They must have some wow dishes because they stay packed So I leave my review with middle of the road for their take out. I look forward to dining in and the next adventure will be their lasagna or chicken parm. Crossing fingers! read more

Excellent food all around! I had the Italian enchiladas w/chicken, daughter had the chicken parm & son chose a pizza. He didn't much care for his pizza but I believe that is because he chose to get toppings he doesn't normally select. Service was excellent as well. read more

It was a rainy and chilly day which is perfect for lasagna. Wanted to try the Tuscano that replaced Gina's. It was a week day lunch and the place was empty. I was shown to a table near the kitchen. I didn't catch the waiters name but he was very attentive. I requested a glass of Iced tea. He went to get it while I perused the menu. There was no lasagna on the lunch menu. Actually it was very limited. But I wanted lasagna so I ordered it from the dinner menu. It took a while but I did get bread and seasoned olive oil. I wasn't a fan of the bread. It was thin sliced and the size of a slice of white bread. A while later was the weird part, the waiter was going to remove my plate of bread with 2 slices still on it before the entree arrived. I stopped him, not sure why he was taking it. Finally the lasagna is served. It smells good. I cut it open and go for a small bite. Mmmm good. It was very meaty and not the pasta and cheese filled ones I usually get at Italian restaurants. The sauce was tasty. Enough cheese to be satisfied with. This was one of the best restaurant lasagna I have had. Okay, I will say it, this is as good as mine. I ate half the rest came home with me. You will note, I said nothing about a salad because they didn't serve any with the pasta. And if I am being charged $17.00 for pasta, I expect a small side salad. I'm sorry but I can buy all the ingredients for a tray of lasagna for $17.00. read more

A good neighborhood Italian go to. Sauce is to my liking. The chicken parm delivers. They also venture out and do a variety of chicken dishes. All to my liking as well. What's this to his liking bullshit? I'm from NJ, I went to a predominantly Italian HS Don BOSCO Prep in Ramsey NJ. LOTS of vowel ending names in my graduating class. Needless to say I know Italian food. Oh and their Espresso Martini is made w real espresso and it's tasty! read more

This was our second time eating here. I made a reservation through open table. In the request I asked for a table in a corner because we have a young baby. We were seated in the back room away from everyone which was really nice. Our server Karen was delightful and checked on us through out our meal. We ordered portofino mussels and calamari for an appetizer. They were both good. Definitely dip your bread in the left over sauce of the mussels. This was our second time getting the Fettuccini alla Alba and is hands down still our favorite dish. My boyfriend even ordered it with gluten free pasta and loved it. The Margarita Pizza was good too. Another one of my favorites for the night was the Lemoncello Mascarpone Cake. I love dessert and this went down too easy. read more

Was in with a group for dinner last night for some apps and pizza. We had the mussels and four pizzas the mussels were very good with a little bit of heat to the sauce they disappeared before I could get a picture. The pizzas had a nice well done crust great ingredients we had a meat lovers that was loaded with meat. The Mediterranean with olives tomatoes and basil the house specialty loaded with meats and veggies and a margarita pizza. The service was spot on our server did a great job with the large party she did not miss a beat. The restaurant is very clean and a beautiful space. read more

Discovering this place felt like finding a secret in a Cedar Park strip center. I knew we were in for a treat when the bread was fresh, soft, and hot. The rest of what we had just got better and better. Service was great, all of our food came really quickly and everything was cooked as ordered. We went dressed for a date on a Saturday evening and had nice moody lighting, but it could also be more casual. Basque cheesecake with candied pecans and hot honey topped everything off. We will be back! read more

So we decided to give Tuscano a try! And I was expecting the food to be good with the reviews and ambience. Our server Karen was very nice! We got tomato basil soup and decided to get our own pizza which was okay too. The fettuccini Laredo came with no chicken when there was supposed to be chicken. From what an understood in the pictures there was no cheese grated on top as well. So we let Karen know, she first asked us if it was okay if she bought some grilled chicken as a side. We politely declined as it would not be the same upon which she took the pasta and returned with grilled chicken mixed with same pasta although by now the pasta is not hot just plain warm. I wish the food was as good as the ambience and service! I don't think I will return again! I wish they did better! read more

This place used to be called Gino's but is now under new ownership and a name change. The inside is much nicer and brighter than it was before and most of the musty smell is out. The new owner is super nice and is doing everything to get things started on the right foot. We had a server - Jordan- also a super good guy and was easily one of the best servers we've had in years. So far I really like this place. Service is great as is the food. The pizza is probably the best in Cedar Park. read more

If you're looking for traditional Italian, you've found it. If you're looking for a surprising twist, that's here too. Tomato basil soup is my favorite, and this restaurant has a good one. Creamy and popping with flavor, it quickly dominated the marinara as my preferred dipping sauce for fried ravioli, mozzarella, and zucchini. There's a section of the menu that's all about "Texas twists". I chose the Fettuccine Laredo, a cheeky take on the classic chicken Alfredo. That's a spicy dish! Sneaky little bits of habanero and jalapeno give you a jolt of excitement. Had to try dessert, enjoyed the lemoncello cake. They don't seem to have coffee figured out, as only espresso was available. Not coffee or cappuccino. This will go into my regular rotation and it might be in the running for my top Italian choice in cedar park. read more

Tuscanos is now one of our very favorite Italian restaurants. The staff were very friendly, the wine was top notch and the food heavenly. Highly recommend a reservation and this place is happening! Live music some nights. Nice bar and remodeled dining room from previous Italian restaurant. I am thrilled we have such an amazing restaurant in our community. Tuscanos is now one of our top favorite local restaurants. I can't recommend it enough. My husband had the veal parmigiana and I the chicken picatta with zoodles. We ordered cheesecakes for dessert, you will not regret it. read more

The food was very good and tasted like authentic Italian cuisine. It was very busy when I placed my to-go order but nothing is more upsetting than not receiving an item that you ordered. I mistakingly assumed it was all there in a rush to hurry home with my kids for dinner. The portions were tiny. I ordered a bowl of tomato soup and received a cup. My noodles were missing from my chicken parm so all I had was the chicken breast. Thankfully my kids had extra noodles with their spaghetti. Not sure if I will be returning or not. read more

Food was trash, no flavor. Horrible experience and atmosphere. I'm Italian so the fact I couldn't even take 2 bites of my meal is HORRIBLE

The food was amazing. So good. The service was spot on. Olivia was our waitress and she was extremely helpful and friendly. The ambiance was nice, quiet but not overly. I would recommend this restaurant if you like Italian food. We will definitely be back read more

I meant to write this review a few months back but I'm sure it's just as good as it was! We ordered two amazing tomato pastas, Italian salad and had a wonderful wine recommended to us. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious and we will definitely return. The only thing I would change is an upgrade to the decor, it definitely looks like they tried and it's not horrible but it did miss the mark a bit. Go here for the food, it's worth it! read more

This place has good food and great service! I would recommend it to everyone! The bread was so good!

4th time here. We went for the melted cheese bowl pasta. The waitress was awesome, the guy that did the cheese bowl was great. The pasta was just ok. Room temp. We mentioned to our server that the bread wasn't good. We also mentioned that we went to one of the group dinners, and the best thing everyone loved was the butternut squash soup. Yet it is only seasonal. If that was year-round, we'd get it weekly. Please bring that back! read more

The scallops were insanely good! The guy you had playing music was absolutely incredible! Need to bring him back!!!! Summer, bartending was awesome! Everything great! Will be back! read more

Food is great- and I am from N.J. where we eat a lot of Italian! Service always excellant! Our family loves to eat at Tuscano's! !

So we stopped by had Bologna's with penne and PIZZA! You can't miss with any. Wine selection is great not price point and varietal. Dollar wis priced right too. No into crowds then come for lunch otherwise weekend be ready for a wait. But it is WORTH the wait. Great space. read more

Ate here last weekend bc we had a coupon & wanted to try something new. A little off the beaten path for us but wound up being well worth the drive. Busy place - we were kinda shocked, honestly. Nice selection of draft beers and my gf raved about "the Sicilian" - then the eats; our server, Candace, recommended some solid options - burrata (never had this before) was great, shrimp portofino for my lady & the Tuscan combo for me. Portions were BIG! Got togo boxes so we could have dessert. Another recommendation from our waitress was the basque style cheesecake & white choc bread pudding. Holy sh*t were these good! Coming back again soon - ask for Candace if you go - she's great. Friendly, funny and great service the entire meal. Really appreciated the help and the awesome recommendations - thanks again! Update: Went back for a quick lunch this week and tried the mussels - just the sauce alone is worth every penny of this dish! I love artichokes and mushrooms so this is my happy place as far as food is concerned. read more

Would I come here again, maybe. Was it it amazing, hmmm some of it was, some wasn't. The salad was meh. The appetizer was really good the lasagna was above average. The dessert was ok, but nothing to write home about. The server was really good. I think it was jus the inconsistency of the food choices that gave this a 3 star. The restaurant is clean with an inviting ambiance and staff friendly and on top of it. Just needs consistent above average food to get to the 4 stars. read more

Second time here in a week and obviously it was good so we came back. Actually it has been great both times! I have a gluten sensitivity ( not allergy, I can take a few bites of things as long as I limit it to just a bite or so) and they have fantastic GF options. The staff are all great, super friendly and helpful! As I said the menus is great! We came the day before Father's Day with our adult kids and they loved it too. The cocktails are super! I still want to try the pizza and explore more of the menu, but so far so good! I think this might become a weekly go to for my husbands and I for cocktails and apps. As our British friends call it, our "local".. read more

My 4-star only means we need a few more tasty adventures here since this was our 1st visit (Sunday for supper). All the food was good - we had chicken and beef entrees and a mussel appetizer. Really liked those mussels a lot. My wife and mother-in-law got margaritas and they thought they were great. I took a sip and have to agree. I was drinking Peroni on tap and it worked for me. The waitstaff were super friendly as was the manager who circled the dining area checking on things. I expect we will be returning relatively soon as it is close to both my mother-in-law's and our house. We can actually get here with only a couple of stoplights to go through :-) read more

Delicious pizza! I had a boo boo with the crushed red pepper, they were so nice about it.

Been to this fine establishment about 4 times since June. Visited tonight and sat in a booth in the bar area. The bar is well stocked and looks like an enjoyable place to visit. The food was excellent just as it has been on each of my visits. The cheese bits/sticks are to die for. One of the best we have had in the area. Each time I have had a different server and each has been good. Tonight Abbi did a good job and the support staff and kitchen were great. Met the owner who was sitting near us. He happened to hear us comparing this location to another favorite and engaged us. He is clearly interested in making the location as best that it can be. Highly recommend. Will be back. read more

What a great addition to Cedar Park! Tuscano brings some truly great Italian fare with a Texas twist to the 613. They start you off right with warm and soft bread and it just gets better fro there. The brisket Bolognese is amazing - what a fun twist on a classic dish! The lasagna is among the best I've ever had and the pizza is fantastic. Throw in a creamy cesar salad and you have a tremendous meal! Friendly staff and reasonable prices round it all out....bravo! read more

Slow service, terrible food. We ate at Toscano's a year ago and decided to go celebrate a birthday last night. There were 4 of us and all the meals ordered were terrible. Eggplant parmesean - the eggplant was tough and chewy, the side of pasta was way over cooked and sticky. The marinera sauce was runny and bland. Had about 4 bites and did not finish the meal. The lobster ravioli did not taste like lobster was even an ingredient in the ravioli. Ordered a veal dish with a cream sauce and the cream sauce was very runny, not creamy at all. The vegetables were terrible - not cooked at all. The lasagna was just okay. Our waitress was super nice and friendly, but the wait time seems longer than it should be, also they leave plates of food on the table and we had to ask them to remove the plates from the table. No one at our table finished their meals. Sadly we will not return and do not recommend. read more

I wanted to like this place as the reviews looked great and the pictures were promising but when we arrived on Friday January 13th at 7pm, there was an overpowering odor of air freshener chemical that was so intense I wanted to vomit. I even walked the restaurant to check if it was only near the hostess stand but it was everywhere except near the bar. Not wanting to smell this and ruin my dinner, I left and told the hostess why. I haven't rarely experienced such a pungent smell at a restaurant. I could consider it in a smelly bathroom but it doesn't belong in any sit down restaurant. Shameful... read more

This is the third time my wife and I have been here since the new owner took over from the old Gino's 4-5 months ago. Over the last several months, there have been significant upgrades in the decor, menu, and food. We really enjoy their Italian with a Texas twist part of the menu last night. I had the chicken fried steak Parmesan with a Gorgonzola sauce, which tasted amazing. My wife had the traditional Italian of the Trio (fettuccine Alfredo, chicken, Parmesan and lasagna) which she also enjoyed. She says she's going to order the Italian enchiladas next time as those sounds very interesting. They still have some operational kinks to work out at the front of the house as well as in the kitchen, but it is well worth going. read more

Nicely done update to the previous place that was here (Gino's). Food is much fresher/tasteful, indoor decor is new and welcoming (bar area is especially cozy w comfy couches, soft table lamps, rugs). The entire staff is helpful, friendly, and engaged - and this is a welcome change! The entire vibe is one of a slightly upscale neighborhood gathering place - plenty of "regulars" and clearly a favorite of the "locals". Don't miss the beef and pork lasagna and the mussels portofino - to DIE for! House wines (Canyon road) are respectable choices and easy drinking but come on a Wed for 1/2 price bottles of any wine! Happy hour drink & app specials during the week as well! So happy to see this place thriving and doing well - just remember to make reservations on the weekends!! read more
