Great food at reasonable prices with kind and respectful service, can't ask for more.

Across from the Ritz diner and tucked into a small strip shopping center you will find Tuscany. A deceptively tiny Italian eatery with a large venue down stairs for parties and events. We came here after it being recommended by a work friend. This was one of our first in restaurant visits post COVID. Our party of 4 was seated just at the top of the stairwell that led to the event area below, so despite the place being fairly empty we were passed by quite often as party goers joined the celebration downstairs. The interior was in sad shape. The runner carpets were well worn and ripping and the table was wobbly. The bathrooms needed attention and despite being closed for so very long due to COVID one would expect the interior to sparkle. A good cleaning is needed. As for our meals. We aren't talking drop dead delicious, but it is somewhat hard to mess up an Italian dish. Our servings were plentiful, served hot and in a timely manner. The waitress was friendly and attentive. Our visit was enjoyable as we were able eat, drink and enjoy our food out after so many months of take out food! A solid 3 stars and we will most likely return, hopefully some updating, cleaning will be addressed and we can bump up those review stars. read more

I was craving Italy food ordered gnocchi with a tomato sauce was good and filling. Came with nice fresh Italian bread and salad. That was the second time ordering takeout n have nothing bad to say read more

We held a retirement dinner here for an about 12 people. First of all Joe was very accommodating, he worked with us and gave us many options for our menu. Our server (not sure of the name) was so accommodating. He went above and beyond to serve us and ensure that we had ample time to sit and enjoy ourselves! Highly recommend the food and staff here were awesome! read more

Who does not love an Italian BYOB? This was my first time here, we were meeting friends for dinner and suggested this place. I am so glad that they did. We went on a Thursday night around 8 pm and basically had the place to ourselves. I love how quaint the restaurant is. We were greeted and sat right away. I absolutely loved all of my food. They run a special Monday thru Thursday that includes an app, salad or soup, entree & dessert. I went with the Caprese, it came with large pieces of fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers & tomato slices. I choose a garden salad instead of Caesar. For my main meal, I ordered Penne Puttanesca and subbed the penne for their homemade gnocchi. OMG I could eat this all the time. I loved that they used black olives, red onions, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes. I highly recommend this. All of my friends really enjoyed their meals. I upgraded my dessert for the lemon cake but got that to go. Your dessert choices were cheesecake or Tiramisu. Service could have been a little better, we constantly had to ask for water refills and up-charged me $5 for the gnocchi when it was a substitute for the penne, however they were more than happy to fix that mistake. read more

Omg seriously been going here for years and it's delicious every single time! Dine in or order out... sometimes we pick up our dinner and sometimes we order on door dash. It's always delicious and we've tried many many dishes. Just as an extra their cakes are the most delicious we ever had, the chocolate mouse cake or limoncello .. or tiramisu, NY cheese cake get any of them, they are mouth watering and the best!! read more

If we didn't go here on Valentine's Day our bill would be $40 cheaper. It's extremely over priced on Valentine's Day. They market a 5-Course meal but it's really 3, appitizer , main, dessert. The main dish on the menu automatically comes with soup or salad, but on this special day they call that another course (what?!?! But it comes with it. If you go there on a normal day this is still true). So what's the 5-course? Coffee/tea?? Or was it the complimentary bread?!? Lol We ordered one plate of mussels ($9), linguini and mussels ($15) it automatically comes with soup/salad, linguini with clam ($17) it automatically comes with soup/salad, 2 desserts ($6 each), 1 coffee ($2). So on a normal day this would all cost $55. We paid $90. Total scam. Skip this place on Valentine's Day and go there on a regular day. Our server didn't do a great job but he was nice. He didn't speak English well either so maybe that's why he had trouble communicating. It's BYOB but if you didn't bring anything there is a beer store right next to the restaurant so you're good. There is seating upstairs and downstairs. I think overall the food was good and if I went NOT on Valentine's Day it would 4 stars. This truly an American-Italian restaurant. Not authentic at all. If you want authentic, this isn't the place. read more

Love a good Tuscany Italian night. The bolognese, chicken franchese, and fettuccine Alfredo are all solid go-to dishes. The creamy chicken and rice soup is delish when it's on special. All their desserts always taste fresh and delicious, the tiramisu is probably my favorite though with the cheesecake coming in as a close second. I'd love to try to eat there and bring my favorite wine (it's BYOB) but we tend to pick up for a nice night in usually. They have a cozy dining area but do offer a downstairs for larger parties. read more

Great service and the food was delicious. I had chicken Parmesan and my husband had shrimp and scallop Alfredo.

The food is great. I had the chicken Sinatra delicious. And something different from what I'm used to so Tuscany salad is really nice but they're tiramisu is not that great. read more

This place was aaaammmmmaaazzzing. It's a BYOB and there is a beer store right next door. So we went in after seeing all the yummy pics on YELP. The waitress was outstanding, the bread warm and toasty. The food was made to order. They accompaniedd my requests. The meatballs where perfect chicken moist. Sauce delicious. Can't say enough great things. read more

The food was good what there was of it . The paper menu we received with our food and the yelp prices differ by three dollars ? My order started out as 59.00 by the time all the fees got added 27.00 more dollars the website wouldn't let me complete the order without a tip is it the business practice or what with all the OTHER charges added which sound a lot like tips . Item Qty Price Pork Chops Caesar Salad (), Vegetables () 1 $19.95 Lasagna Tossed Salad with Ranch Dressing () 1 $19.95 Lasagna Tossed Salad with Russian Dressing () 1 $19.95 Subtotal $59.85 Tax $5.75 Tip $10.28 Delivery fee $2.99 Service fee $8.98 Total $87.85 AMAZING that the lasagnas was just enough to feed a kid for that price a regular size was expected . As stated food was good enough will not do delivery here again. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect when I found Tuscany Ristorante on Yelp. It was located on Rhawn Street in far Northeast Philadelphia, just off the Boulevard, an area not known for haute cuisine. But, we were not that far away and in the mood for an Italian dinner. My uncertainty mounted as I found the last parking spot right in front of the corner liquor store, and rolled up over the curb and sidewalk to park. The dudes out front gave me a glance, like, "What the F *** do you think your doing...?" I pulled my Eagles hat lower over my brow as I got out of the car and gave them a wink. Sometimes being 6'4" is enough for street corner respect or at least a pass. Or, maybe it was just the hat. They had less risky things to do on a Sunday night. Anyway, we found our way inside the restaurant and were immediately taken by the white linen, heavy flatware, and polished marble floors. Okay. This wasn't a local pizza joint. These folks were serious about creating an atmosphere of opulence in the middle of this urban jungle. For the most part, they succeeded. What was even more pronounced was the fine quality of the food coming from the kitchen. We ordered calamari, roast chicken and rice soup, chicken marsala, chicken francais, a side Caesar salad and house veggies - roasted potatoes and broccoli. One thing was better than the next. The squid was nicely deep fried with excellent dipper. They were all rings, without tentacles, which gave the impression they were received that way from the purveyor rather than being sliced in house. Liked them, but would have been better if handled completely by the chef. The soup was excellent - creamy, flavorful with lots of chicken and rice. The Caesar and veggies came with dinner. Both were more than adequate, but small in size and just a solid complement to the stars of the show. Tuscany knows from sauces. They did a masterful job on the marsala and francais reductions. The marsala had plenty of chunky fresh mushrooms in a dark marsala wine base. Very nice. The francais was heavy into lemon and white wine with light egg batter coating, in which the thin chicken fillets had been pan sautéed in extra virgin, amply caramelized and set afloat. One of the best things I have put in my mouth this year. Wowee! Service was very good. Friendly and casual. Plenty of time between courses, and many stops to inquire of our satisfaction. Dessert looked tempting, but enough was enough. Most surprising was the pricing; reminiscent of the turn of the century. Aside from the poor acoustics caused by all the hard surfaces, Tuscany Ristorante was a total win. We will definitely be back. read more

If you're going and not expecting freshly ground pepper, freshly shaved Parmesan etc, freshly made pasta you'll be fine. If you're craving Italian food and want nice sized portions at a good price, you'll like this spot. Also, it's BYOB. They have a downstairs you can reserve for special events, which is perfect for celebrating a birthday etc. Lunch specials are ~$10 and portions are HUGE! I think there were 50 tortellinis in my tortellini toscana. (Though my mom only had ~6 shrimp in her scampi, though there was a lot of pasta). Chicken dishes were huge. Salad that comes w dish nothing spectacular (iceberg, cucumber, tomato). Bread/dipping oil isn't rememberable either. But enough pasta to bring half home. And cool they have lunch specials (Olive Garden took their smaller dinner portions away...) read more

Want there last night had eggplant parmesan it wasn't cooked long enough. It had a funny after taste. Last couple meals here we're so hot. read more

Went there for a catering event and will never go back. The restaurant itself seemed nice upon arrival, however, the service was horrible and the food was mediocre. Constant attitude from one of our servers and even an attitude when asked if we can change the table cloths after water was spilled on one of the guest by one of the other servers. This is just one case of the attitude we received. Secondly, we waited a good amount of time between courses only for our food to come out cold. For example, my boyfriend's ravioli was cold but the sauce was hot. My pasta from my scampi was also slightly undercooked. I understand what al dente is, but a noodle should not be crunchy! Lastly, the host paid for everyone to be able to order cappuccinos. However, upon ordering, the same server told me that they didn't do those and only had coffee. It wasn't until the host got up to complain that they magically had cappuccinos. Overall, will not come again. Food was not great or even warm. Service was subpar. read more

Recently had a business lunch at Tuscany Ristorante. A great choice for many reasons: nice, clean atmosphere with linen on the tables, the service was good and the food was spectacular. the lunch specials are inicredibly affordable and offer 2x more than a Panera type place. Everyone loved their meal. My dish was Chicken Catherina - roasted peppers, spinach, chicken, mozzarella in a white wine sauce served over penne pasta. Was happy to take the other half home to enjoy it a second time! read more

This restaurant was recommended by several of my coworkers. I really wanted to eat in, but because of the COVID pandemic, this wasn't possible. I ordered chicken parmesan, my favorite Italian dish. Long story short it was extremely disappointing. The chicken was borderline flavorless, and the tomato sauce was extremely watered down. It looked like the chef didn't even strain my pasta, it was just placed into the takeout container alongside the chicken which made a watery, reddish sludge at the bottom. The salad the meal came with was fresh at least. It also came with bread, but it wasn't a typical piece of Italian bread, it was more like to slices of wonder bread. Overall, avoid it! read more

Tuscany Ristorante - Salad was fresh, everything else was bland and tasteless. - Italian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We have been going to Tuscany since they opened. Great consistent food. The sauce is awesome. Staff is always friendly. The owners are so nice. I usually order chicken parm and I like it with the cheese very well done. They are one of the few restaurants that get it right. Portions are large and come with pasta or veggies and a soup or salad. Also, they are very accommodating. Yes when they are busy it is a little noisy but it is a small restaurant and to be expected. read more

Tuscany Ristorante - My outstanding well done chicken parm. The way I like it ;) - Italian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We came for NYE and were not impressed. The waiter was really kind and attentive. The food was not good. We had the appetizer sampler which was literally cucumber, tomato, roasted peppers, a few pieces of sharp cheese and fresh mozzarella on a plate drizzled with oil. "... for 12.95! We also got the mozzarella sticks which were definitely frozen. I had the chicken Sinatra and can you say.... bathed in butter and oil? The sauce was supposed to have lump crab meat but it just seemed way too much. Not enough pasta/sauce ratio. Horrible. The waiter offered to get me something else but at that point, I had no appetite. The rest of the table did not seemed impressed with their meals. One had the chicken Oscar which looked good, but she said it was just ok. Another had the pasta with seafood Alfredo that was not good. Our son had the NY strip and it was on the fatty side. We had cappuccino which was very bitter. The chocolate mousse cake was the best part of the meal. We will not be back. read more

Tuscany Ristorante - Chicken Sinatra - Italian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Tuscany is very small. I would have never known is was there had it not been for someone asking me if I'd eaten there before. The place could use some Italian decor. We were there for an early dinner so we were the only customers but being so small, I could easily see it getting loud when its full. The food was great and plentiful! I thought the prices were reasonable. Here is what we had along with the standard bread and oil and salads: Fried Calamari Chicken Alla Toscana Breaded cutlet topped w/broccoli rabe, garlic and baked with mozzarella cheese, in light marinara sauce Ravioli Rosa cheese ravioli topped with roasted peppers in blush sauce read more

Why didn't I come to this place sooner?! It's next to a dingy liquor store but once you're inside, I felt like I was somewhere far away from the dinginess of its next door businesses. The food is fresh and delicious. It's 10x better than Olive Garden. The pictures posted here on yelp due no justice. I think I might go this weekend.. and it's BYOB. read more

Yes- it does get loud here but don't let that deter you. Every byob in Philly is small and loud- it's expected! Service was fantastic, very attentive and the food was great! The ravioli rosa was a crowd pleaser. For the price and quality of food- definitely worth a trip! I would put this place up there with some of my favorite South Philly Italian joints! Any byob is friend of mine. read more

Went there last night for Valentine's Day, the place is cute inside. The people that work there were nice, the waitress was good. They jacked up the prices for Valentine's Day, that was annoying. We got muscles in white sauce, they were delicious. The bread was fresh and warm served with a very good olive oil dipping sauce. my fiancé really enjoyed his lobster ravioli. I got veal Oscar with a side of gnocchi. The gnocchi was delicious. The veal Oscar was in edible. It was honestly one of the most disgusting dishes I've ever had. The veil was so tough, I'm not joking when I say this but I fed it to my dog. It was sitting in a pool of some type of Greece, it was extremely salty. The crab didn't even taste like crab, It didn't have a flavor at all, the greasy sauce was just so overwhelming. It came with dessert, we took home the tirimisu and cannoli. Both were amazing. So essentially my only complaint was my meal. There's a lot of really good Italian BYOB's in the area, I'm not saying I would never go to this one again, but maybe for lunch or something I definitely wouldn't do dinner there again. read more

Tuscany Ristorante - Greasy mess veal Oscar tough as leather. No good. - Italian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Amazing food and service. The owner answered the phone hours before they were open and I explained My uncle passed last night and I wanted to send food to the house since I'm living in Florida. This man treated me like family and did everything over the phone with me (custom family style meal) and delivered it himself. I couldn't get Uber or Grub Hub to go to this restaurant and I didn't want cheap food. My family called and said what a nice man and the food was so delicious and plenty of it. I'm overwhelmed of how kind these people are and hope you enjoy their delicious food too.

Wonderful service, beautiful atmosphere, and dishes (penne primavera) and dessert (limoncelo cake) were so fresh and delicious!

Food here is awesome. This place rivals some of the more well known Italian restaurants in philly. The chicken Sinatra was absolutely incredible. I was blown away at how good the food was. It was more traditional style rather than modern. Our server, Len, was great and very attentive. It was also dirt cheap, our dinner for 3 costed us $60. I already know that this is going to be one of my regular dinner spots. read more
