I am so glad to have found Tuscano. Went for the first time with my family for a couple of birthday celebrations back in December and was blown away by the food and the cocktails. We went all out and tried some apps (fried cheese, shrimp cocktail). The fresh bread and the oil they bring out is outstanding. Meals were fantastic and don't get me started on the deserts. Service had some kinks but nothing crazy! My girlfriend and I visited again this last weekend and let me just say- everything was wonderful. Drinks were delicious, the chicken dish I ordered was fantastic and the veggies that come with it are SO good. My girlfriend got the lobster ravioli which was incredible. We shared the tiramisu and the After Five Mint cocktail for dessert and were quite happy with our choices. The banquet style tables do a feel a little outdated- but don't let them fool you. This place is amazing and I look forward to returning. read more

Had an amazing dinner there last night, haven't had anything there that I didn't love. Wait staff did a great job of taking care of us. They have GREAT bourbon flights as well. The owner even came out and checked on us and we found out that he owns another one of our favorite burger joints. Thank you so much for the great experience and we will be back. read more

Just wanted to compliment Tuscano Italian Kitchen on a job well done for Valentines Day dinner. Food was excellent as always. Ambiance terrific. Waitstaff attentive. Very busy but we never felt rushed. Thank you for a very nice Valentine's dinner! read more

When one thinks of pizza (for me anyways), it has to have a great crust and sauce. Everything else (other toppings) is just more at the party. So I recently ordered a pepperoni pizza to try this place out. This location (site) has had a number of openings and closing....seems nothing can stay in that location very long before closing down (that my friends is a testament to food quality and service). So it did take literally an hour from once I ordered the pizza until I got it. Glad I wasn't starving. But upon receiving the pizza and getting it home, lord a mercy at the grease. Granted I live near but the pizza was a bit soggy from the grease that oozed out of the pepperoni - these little button sized red slices of meat. It took 6 paper towels to soak up the grease. What part of the crust that wasn't flaccid from the grease was ok but was not able to really define the sauce because of the grease. Wasn't too impressed with the 3 hostesses at the door. Personalities of a fly swatter. Not sure why it takes a army to run the front as they were so confused and unorganized but upon paying, naturally the first thing to pop up on the card scanner is the tip. Seriously? You want me to tip you to walk from the front to the back to retrieve my pizza that was overpriced from the beginning? I don't tip counter personnel for doing their job. Sick and tired of these places looking for tips and these large increments of tips. I digress...but the pizza gets a "D" and not sure if I will go in and dine to try other meals but for me....don't order the pizza. It's a heart attack in a box. read more

Tuscano Italian Kitchen - Pepperoni pizza ... soggy pizza bathing in a greasy oil bath. - Italian Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

Not nearly as good as Gino's that it replaced. Fresh paint and fancy fixtures don't change the fact that the food is simply not as good. One chicken entree served was ice cold, as if it was sitting on a shelf for a long time just waiting to be served. The other chicken entree was at least hot, but somewhat chewy. We also ordered a pizza... it as the first time I ever saw our teenager not eat more than a few bites of pizza. Food is just bland. The sauces are different, but overall they simply do not taste good. read more

I usually don't post reviews on anything but this was too bad to not. The bolognese sauce tastes like it came from a can. I grew up eating canned tomato soup and it tasted just like that. Also ordered spaghetti and meatballs, and meatballs are super tough and pink in the middle. Not cooked all the way if it was beef but it tasted like pork meat. Which is not what meatballs are supposed to be made from. Brisket was tough too. Tiramisu didn't have espresso in it. Quality definitely does not justify the price even a little bit. Don't even get me started on the bread. All around heavily disappointed and wasted food which I hate doing. read more

I will never visit this restaurant again. We went on a Tuesday where the restaurant advertised a pasta cheese wheel dish made tableside. We placed our order for 1 of these around 7:15 pm. At the time of our visit/order, there were a couple of guests at the bar and a table of 5 and a couple 2 tops around the corner. 8:19 pm our entree still had not come around. We then just asked for our bill and when the owner came by he explained they only have 1 person making these table side entree. if that's the case, I asked how they expect to fufill these advertised orders in a timely manner if they know they only have 1 person doing it? what if the restaurant was busier? The owner simply said "what do you want me to do about it?" "I have done this for 3 years..." Basically, the restaurant is operating at a capacity they can't handle, which was actually only 5 tables. It was unfortunate experience and wished the owner took some accountability because this was a recommendation we looked forward to. read more

Tuscany is a great Italian restaurant located in Cedar Park,TX, on Cypress Creek Road. The food is very good and the prices better than you would think. The atmosphere is comfortable and casual. You be glad to have eaten there ! Rob F January, 2024 read more

We love this place. Great people who make you feel welcome. Amazing food, everything we've tried there has been tasty. Looking forward to the next time they do a Parmesan wheel pasta night! And the bartender, Cole, is the best. He's a pro and a great guy to visit with. read more

We ordered from their website, the food was just as good as if we had ordered in person. The delivery person was excellent and the food was still hot, it is tasted great! We ordered Chicken Piccata and Brisket Bolognese, along with desserts. Delicious! read more

Jordan was the best server I have ever met. The lemonade was incredible, the pizza was perfect, and the ambiance was ok as well. Jordan really pulled the whole thing together though. He is a bridge to the best experience you will ever have. Kind, friendly and fast, he is the embodiment of the perfect waiter. read more

Tuscano Italian Kitchen - Lemonade - Italian Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

The food was not that good. Salad dressing was watered down, sauce was missing flavor. Think this is Italian for senior citizens with the lack of favor. The service was slow put order in at 30 minute mark had to ask where the food was? Will not be on my list of lunch spots when in Austin. read more

Went for dinner and ordered the LINGUINE with white clam sauce. First, it came with fettuccine noodles...who does that ??? When I asked the GM, he said, " you are very astute and we use Penne pasta instead of Ziti. Nobody knows the difference " I asked why they don't say what it is instead of misleading their customers ? His very condescending reply was, " what would you like for me to do sir ? " I asked for a to go box and left it there on purpose. Lastly, what I did taste, had absolutely ZERO flavor !! Pasta is cheap, you don't need to cut corners. There were additional issues but the bartender was new so I will give him some slack..I will say he needs more TRAINING. The pizza was decent on the other hand. ****** Jay Rouse; you should change your menu to read what the food is, not what it is supposed to be. If you are trying to grow a business, this is NOT the way to do it. Find better management too. Sad and disappointing to say the least. read more

Meh, nothing special. I've had better Italian cuisine from a "corporate" restaurant. Was sadly disappointed, the menu looked great , but the execution was mediocre at best. read more

We had the best meal. I had the brisket bolognese and my husband the white cheese pizza!! Portions were generous!! Delicious!! The service was excellent!! read more

This is probably the worst Italian restaurant i had been to so far. First, the menu is only carbohydrate. Pasta and pizza only. Highly recommend the owner to expand the menu option. Second, the taste of everything is light. Even my 7 years old daughter ask for salt. Last thing, they don't serve any dessert. I came here for my mom's birthday. I don't even see a tiramisu on the menu. So disappointed. read more

We've eaten here many times, If they're very crowded, service is very slow, but food, wine selection is good.. Ambiance is a bit too bright and noisy but that's fine for a family dining place, hey it's Italian, you need to eat! read more

Overall a great experience. The owner heard that it was our first time there under the new mgt., and came by to check on us several time. The specialty cocktails were terrific - our group ended trying them all. Their Texas- Italian fusion was creative, and worked really well. One of the best prepped pork chops I've ever had, juicy and perfectly seasoned. Definitely going back for dinner as well as happy hour with apps. read more

We tried Tuscano Italian Kitchen for the first time this afternoon. They have happy hour all day Sunday, which was a nice surprise. We had the house Merlot (Jordan our server offered us a sample of the house Merlot and Cabernet). I am originally from NY State so I wanted to try something more traditional, so we had a small calzone which was quite good, and a large portion. We also tried the Brisket Bolognese as a Texas twist option. I actually liked it more than I was anticipating. It was reminiscent of the traditional Chianti sauce but with brisket. So it was different, but not too far off the rails for me. Our server Jordan was excellent. I definitely see him moving up the chain. We enjoyed our experience and will return to try more of their food. read more

I ate there for lunch. The Food was delicious, however, the Lunch Menu is no longer offered, even though it was still listed on their website menu. I'm not sure I'd go there for lunch again. read more

We split the chicken piccata and the antipasto salad. Both were great! Really recommend the Angel's Envy dessert - so good! A great addition to this area of Cedar Park. read more

Everything we tried here was delicious. The meatballs were very good. The Burrata was wonderful. Salads were good. My daughter's spaghetti was huge and tasty. The tomato bisque was very good. My husband loved his lasagna. They also serve a few unconventional Texas Italian fusion entrees that we'll try next time. read more

I'm a tough critic. This place is my new favorite italian food in Austin. Great atmosphere, service, and food.

Great food and the service is excellent. Not very close to home, but what a find! We will find a way to come back.

Okay food not really great just okay nothing special about it. A bit pricey . A little better than the last Italian place that was there before. read more

My first disappointment came when the bread came out. Bread sucks, tastes like stale sandwich bread. I'd think that a place charging $22 a plate would try to make their own bread and if they do, it needs work. The oil it comes with does not make it any better if anything it makes it easier to swallow down, maybe butter would be better but I doubt anything can save that bread. My entree was the summer pasta (shrimp, scallions, and asparagus) and it was overly fishy and even a good amount of parmesan couldn't hide the overly fishy taste and smell. Also the chef, I'm assuming, was staring down my girlfriend? I understand I got a baddie but didn't come to this place to mean mugg the chef to give him a clue he was doing something inappropriate. Saving grace was our server, June R was very nice and attentive and she even reduced my entrees price. Doubt that'll bring me back though. read more

Food was great and service is fine. Lots of variety in the menu. Quite local, a plus in my department read more

Tuscano Italian Kitchen - Fettuccine Laredo. Very tasty - Italian Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

Was the tastiest Italian food I've ever eaten. I ordered the Alba dish w so many mushrooms and prosciutto, would definitely order again. I had a straight up manhattan w shaved ice in a big martini glass w the yummy sweetened dark cherries. Was very good. The bread could be improved, but the dipping oil was perfectly seasoned w garlic. Go try it, you will not be disappointed. read more

I really wanted to like this place and support a local restaurant, but it just isn't that good. The tables are super small with uncomfortable chairs. Slow service. The menu tried to be too fancy (Italian Texas fusion? The brisket bolognese didn't have much flavor and not really reminiscent of either). Unfortunately not impressed. read more

We took my mom to Tuscano for her birthday and I'm so glad we did! The food, service and ambience was all top tier!! We highly recommend the pork tenderloin and the steak frites and this might sound weird but the Caesar salads were so goood too! Our server was very personable and made sure to check on us just enough so that we have everything we needed but not so much that it interrupted our family time. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a nice date night or special family outing but still seems casual enough for a luncheon too. Check 'em out!!! read more

We had the pleasure of attending a business function at Tuscano and used their private dining in the back. Everything was perfect. It is not often that I see veal on a menu anymore, but Toscano offers it. It was perfectly cooked and VERY tender - such a wonderful surprise! Service was great, the atmosphere delightful and I look forward to a return visit. Absolutely a 5 star review. Oh, and ... SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT!! read more

First visit on 12/30/22. I'm not often surprised but I was surprised and very impressed with this new Italian restaurant in Cedar Park. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. I had the dinner salad and Baked Ziti (which is my staple plate for evaluating Italian restaurants) and it was outstanding! My wife had a small Caesar salad and the Penne Pasta with marinara sauce and veggies, both she thought were excellent. My son had the mussels appetizer with the Brisket Bolognese which he raved about! Bottom line - this area needed a top notch, reasonably priced Italian restaurant and we finally got one! We will be fixtures at this place! read more

I really appreciate the work the new owners have put in to making this place a great local restaurant. The new menu is fantastic as well as the traditional dishes. Friday night was extremely busy but service was still good as well as the food. read more

I came here twice. The first time, it was amazing. Great service, innovative menu. The second time I came and left after 5 minutes. They had an artificial air freshener piped throughout the restaurant. I am sensitive to chemicals, and had to leave before I got a migraine. It also seems off putting to have a chemical air freshener smell while dining. Also, these artificial scents typically contain harmful VOCs and are dangerous to patrons and staff. read more

Had our company Christmas party here! It was great! The service was really good and the food even better! Highly recommend Tuscano's! Really interesting combination of Texas and Italian as well! read more

Great made from scratch Italian! Always good service Cute environment and good for media sized groups.

Wonderful meal with friendly and attentive staff. The owner was engaging and wanted to be sure we enjoyed our night- and we did. A lovely meal which started with crab cakes chocked full of tender lumpy crab meat then my entree of Veal Portofino with a flavorful yet delicate sauce. And my husband had the brisket bolognese- very hearty, as a bolognese should be. We will be back,as this menu had a lot of unique choices to explore. Lisa read more

Love the new menu! The brisket Bolognese was perfect. Crab cakes had huge lumps (in a good way, lol) Lots of other interesting stuff to try next time. We'll be back for sure. read more

Very good ambient environment and the the customer service is top notch! The food is excellent and I recommend trying their Cesar Salad. The croutons are house made and tasty. read more

We had a wonderful experience at Tuscano! We went with a group of 6 of us & Sat at a great round table. The service was great and the food was fabulous! They put some fun different spins on some traditional menu items that really zest things up! The Texas Meatballs were very good, as was the Brisket Bolognese! Highly recommend! I was happy to be with a group so we could sample many things (for those willing to give up a bite -ha!) Finished things off with Dessert Cannelloni & Tiramisu-which were both super tasty. We had great wine & there is a very cool, "loungey" bar area that has a great vibe for hanging out for pre or post dinner drinks! Highly recommend! We will be back for sure! read more
