Service 5/5
One of my favorite restaurants in Chennai. Staff and Managers are very friendly and honest. Excellent service .
Pizza with thin wheat crust was excellent. Will definitely reorder. Packaging was gorgeous.
Relaxing atmosphere beautiful place loved the vibe of the place ✨ had Tiramisu and pizza 🍕 also tried the chamomile tea ☕️ here loved the way they served. The music and vibe is really amazing great for student crowd and family as well 💙
Love their pizzas and they are definitely one of the best pizzas .My favorite is their Pollo Funghi E Spinaci sourdough pizza .Their desserts are good too.The ambience is nice and calming.
Loved every dish we had at Toscano! We ordered Minestrone soup which is a very delicious vegetable soup with parmesan. Soup was light and delicious.
In main course we ordered Penne All’ Arrabiata; red sauce pasta with spinach and Fusilli Ai Formaggi; cream sauce pasta. We loved the red sauce one more than the latter. Vegetariana, thin crust pizza was the highlight.
In beverages, we ordered Basil Orange and Virgin Mojito. My personal preference is Basil Orange.
The staff is really polite, courteous and helpful. They value their customer needs and meets their expectations.
Love love love their ravioli! The best!
First time visit...was impressed with the starters..chicken nuggets n salads were top class. The penne pesto was a touch let down..sauce was overwhelming ...the pollo al rosamario was top notch..overall had a fab time..its better to hit the place early in case of dinner to avoid rush hour
Went for republic day buffet 999 plus tax and service charge .. service and ambience was good... coming to starter one veg falfel and non veg mutton both was average one variety of veg and non veg both where good...live pasta counter was very good...main course separate menu was good...salad and dessert was good...mocktail was good...item are less but very good
One of the best authentic Italian places you'll find... A bit expensive so load up your wallet before you go
Absolutely beautiful place with two seating areas . We had soup of the day which was cream of mushroom , garnished with pepper which was so smooth and tasty. Also, the aglio olio and the duck in the main course were spot on. Ended the dinner with hot chocolate which was okay and can be skipped. They are waiting for the liquor license so they should start serving alcohol soon. The highlight however was the live singing :)
It sure sets in the perfect atmosphere to dine in .

This place is my all time favourite when comes to Italian cuisine.. I love the way they prepare aglio e olio , the way they prepare chicken pepper steak and most importantly I found one of the yummiest creme brùle here in this place.. So if you're also in love with italian cuisine you must visit Toscano.. Though price is lil on a higher side..

I am awe-struck with the food , service was super fast and our waiter who was really sweet named Hari must definitely wait you when you visit the place!
I had the Belgian warm chocolate quinoa cake which was so decadent and rich and so delicious with no guilts while eating because the cake is made of quinoa with a semi sweet Chocolate sauce , caramel popcorn , cocoa powder , vanilla ice cream and a dollop of jam..😇
I also had the margherita di Buffalo which was a simple margherita pizza with Buffalo cheese, basil and tomato sauce but unlike usual margherita pizzas that I've had till now this is probably the best margherita pizza I've had in my life - soft , hot and flavorful at the same time! 🤤
For drinks I ordered the hot chocolate and I must say I'm living in chocoland! They even gave a pistachio crunchy bread to go with it which was not too sweet and went perfectly with the hot chocolate..😋
This place is perfect for people who prefer Italian food and I hope that they add more vegetarian starters in the future..✨
Ratings : 5 ✨

Got the opportunity to visit Toscano for lunch with a group of friends. I had bookmarked this place as it served a cuisine I love.
Ambience: the place is very chic and cosy. The seating is comfortabke and the whole place gives a relaxed ambience. 5/5
Food: Everything we ordered was tasty and fulfilling. The portion size was perfect and sumptuous. Every plate looked like a piece of art. And there was liberal use of sun dried tomatoes and good cheese. What we ordered:
Harissa chicken pizza and pizza melanzane - both were juicy and generous. We ate it as starter.
Veg and chicken lasagna - both were stuffed with juicy sun dried tomatoes and vegetables.
I tried the broccoli and the minestrone soup and I was immediately transported to a cosy, warm place. I loved the minestrone soup more. There were generous portions of breads sent to the table for which we were grateful for.
Main course: I had a Chicken del tosco - stuffed chicken breast with veggies. I was in seventh heaven. Others enjoyed their main courses too.
Desserts: every single one of them was good. In fact I'd love to visit again just to sample all of their desserts. The pics I have posted are of the desserts - chocolate quinoa cake, green apple pie, chocolate kahlua pastry, charcoal infused ice cream, the day's special -spl pecan pie and tiramisu. The desserts had to be furiously rotated so that everyone would have a chance to taste. 5/5
Price: That is the deciding factor of course. The cost is high yes. But there are numerous eateries which unjustifiably charge a bomb for substandard, poorly presented food. Toscano is definitely a cut above the rest and a good place to celebrate your special days with friends. 4/5
But it works out to a 1000 to 1200 per person for a starter, main and dessert. Not 600 as mentioned in Zomato.
Words can't explain how beautiful Toscano is. One of the most beautiful restaurants I have been to.
The dim and yellowish lights had it's own beautiful touch and made it a perfect date destination.
We went here to try the desserts alone and we had Kahlua Mousse and Tiramisu. They were hella luscious and finger-licking good!
Chocolate Kahlua Mousse - Indeed very very chocolatey. Every bite tasted divine and would go down as one of my favourite desserts in Chennai. Rich in chocolate, thickness and consistency. My love for it is indescribable!
Tiramisu - Though it lacked ladyfinger biscuit, the perfectly whipped mascarpone cheese and coffee made up for it. Enjoyed every single bite.
Cons - Felt that the table was too lengthy to have a comfortable conversation with the person sitting opposite. Nevertheless, enjoyed my time here.
Good food and excellent service.. christmas special menu was very impressive... Good decor, excellent ambiance, overall good outstanding experience. I will must visit again and again.cheers guys !!!!
A delightful experience
On recommendation visited this place to have some Italian food.... Mama mia... What a lovely setting with tasty food... I was a bit worried that authentic places especially international tend to be bland... But this place does full justice to taste..
Had the bruschetta, spaghetti bolognese and the pepperoni pizza... The bruschetta was a combination of the classic tomato and hummus... The hummus one was quite interesting and tasty... But the dish of the day for us was the pizza... So fresh, generous in toppings and very tasty...
A special shout out to the friendly and courteous staff who always had a smile on their face...
Happy Eating!!

I’ve been here so often that I know the menu like the back of my hand now. Plenty of things to love about Toscano, importantly the gorgeous ambience and the drool worthy cheeses. The wait staff is delightful, and service is usually quick despite being almost perpetually packed, weekday or weekend. Flaws? As a vegetarian I find myself having to pick from within the same 3-4 mains options. This is probably something they could work on, considering there are so many other Italian places in Chennai that are pure veg and offer a lot more variety.
Deets:
If you have a bit of time in the afternoon, CHOOSE THE LUNCH BUFFET. They offer a salad bar, 7-8 appetisers, soup, breads, pizza and pasta as per your choice, and 7-8 cute desserts, and ice cream. It’s worth every penny, and more if you eat meat.
A la carte, the appetisers are few but good (yummiest mozzarella sticks and broccoli soup). Pizzas have the perfect base, red sauce and cheese so any topping of your choice ends up a delight. Pastas are great and customisable ofc.
Lastly, do not leave the place without tasting dessert. I’ve had to come here thrice just to satisfy my insufferable cravings for their tiramisu and almond eclair. And the creme brûlée is close to perfect in more ways than one.
End note: Give me more veg, and I’ll probably live here x
Went with a small group of friends on a thursday afternoon for the buffet. The staff were extremely courteous, the atmosphere was very relaxed . Very good Italian good.
Lovely place for the perfect Saturday lunch! The staff were very courteous and sevice was prompt! The food also arrived pretty quick as we hardly waited. The valet parking makes it convenient and hassle free for you on the busy knk road. The spaghetti was my favorite dish of all that we ordered! Drinks were very refreshing and tasty. Overall one of the best restaurant experience in Chennai!
This is definitely one of the best Italian restaurant in Chennai. Their tomato sauce is fantastic ! The restaurant service is also appealing. This is the best place for dates to go well.
Here are a list of my favourite dishes to try:
1. Parma Ham pizza
2. Rigatoni Amatriciana pasta
3. Risotto Con Pollo Lasagna
Edit : So, Toscano has revamped their menu and I couldn't be happier. I promise you guys, the minute you enter this place you are technically in those romantic french restaurants. The music , the garlic bread , the pizza ! Mwah ! What an experience I had. How can I forget the amazing lobster I had here. Toscano definitely serves the one in class sea food risotto. I also tried the white pizza , which was out of this universe !
Toscano has definitely set its mark high.
Impressive service. Expected it to a casual dining place but was surprised to have a fine dining experience. The staff is alert. Amazing live music and songs. A very beautiful bar as well. Would recommend this place to all my friends. Thank you.
The singer was awesome. I will go back again just to listen to her.

This has officially become my favourite place for soulful pasta and pizza. The whole wheat pizza was a big big hit. The falafel was lip smacking too. To end the most amazing dinner we ordered the pumpkin seed brownie and the signature kahlua chocolate mousse which was truly amazing. To top it off, the service was brilliant with friendly staff.
This is my new favorite restaurant. So deserving of being on the Chennais finest collection :') I keep wanting to go back. I can't think about one thing I don't like about this place. It's beautiful, there's good service, the food is to die for, what more could I want?
Good food and friendly service

If you love Italian, this is such a heaven!
Ambience - 5/5
Food - 5/5
Service and staff - 5/5
Value for money - 5/5
Ambience:
Such a cozy and relaxed space. Love the seating and lighting. Would best recommend to visit for dinner. It’s absolutely relaxing.
Food:
We were welcomed with a refreshing bread basket. We placed an order for Prosciutto e Funghi, Lasagna di Pollo, Hot Chocolate, Cappuccino and Paris Breast Almond Eclair. The Prosciutto e Funghi Pizza (5/5) is by far the best Pizza I’ve had in Chennai. It was filled with mushroom and ham. If you are fan of this flavour, then it can never get better. All the flavours in the pizza were well balanced. Lasagna di Pollo (5/5) was a great chicken lasagna and it’s a must try if you love Lasagnas. The tomato sauce was perfect and the layers were beautiful. A toasted bread portion was served along. The hot chocolate (4/5) and cappuccino (4/5) were great as well. For dessert we ordered the Paris Breast Almond Eclair (4/5) which was plated beautifully. It was served with a portion of ice cream. It was a little bit dry, otherwise the flavours were spot on.
Service and staff:
They are quick, courteous and very welcoming.
Value for money:
It isn’t pocket friendly. But it’s worth every penny.

Toscano is a great fine dine restaurant which gets easily added to the Gems of KNK 🖤
The place has some really great ambience and the atmosphere is so welcoming . The lightings , Candles in your table and chill air conditioning definitely a great place for couples and families .
The place requires prior booking especially on weekends due to the crowd . It’s usually full on weekends . It needs a big hoarding else people confuse it for orange wok .
Dishes I tried :
1. Rustica Pizza - The dough makes the place different from other pizzerias. Handmade sour dough crust pizza with Creamy Ricotta and topped with Spinach , Olives , Onions , Cherry tomatoes (₹685) Loved the pizza and definitely worth it 😃
2. Signature Classic Khalua mousse- Creamy Chocolate mousse inside a almond waffle and vannila bean Anglaise custard with choco syrup. This is a must try and tasted so well . Gives that satisfaction of fullness after a meal (₹315) ❤️
3. Garlic bread : The usually give you a garlic bread and dips as complimentary and that was excellent too 👍🏻
4. Velvet Vannila Shake : Vannila Shake with Black current syrup . It was creamy and good . (₹285)
5. Toscano Sling : Red Grapes , Cinnamon syrup , Green tea with hibiscus tea . This looked like a exciting and unique combination hence went with this . The drink was Top Notch and fantastic. But 50% of it was crushed ice hence the quantity was disappointing 😕
try this one but ask them for less ice (₹285)
6.Lasagna (Chicken/Veg) : Probably one of the best . Oven Baked layer pasta with Mozarella , veggies and salad .
7.Farfalle Ai Fromagi : creamy mixed cheese sauce with parsley and walnuts. I didn’t like this sauce much . Was slightly bland .
8.Fusili Funghi Spinaci : Fusilli pasta in tomato cream sauce with veggies . Loved this pasta 👌🏻
Overall loved the experience. Though it’s pricey it’s justified considering the taste and location.
Will visit again and update more dishes 😀
The ambience of this place is amazing. It has this whole fine dining type of atmosphere going on there. But the food was quite okayish for it's price. I like my pizzas or pastas spicy, so it was quite bland for my liking.
But the must trys are the chicken steak here. They serve it with some sauteed veggies and mashed potatoes on the side. Total yum.
I might go here again just to try the steak again. Wish I had more than just a taste last time.
Best place for dinning, Good food and good service, both food and service was very professional way... Weekdays two course and three course meal was very good combo option,overall good experience.
Good food and service, especially tiramisu is my favorite dessert at toscano and aged goat cheese salad is my mom favorite salad and my dad favorite is Grilled salmon and my main course favoriteo is chicken scallopinie with mix mushroom sauce.... Interiors is wow.... It's my one of the best restaurant
Of the five times that I've been here in as many weeks, I can't decide which was the best,
Each time I went with someone who either didn't eat pork or didn't eat beef, but Santosh an extremely polite waiter customised the dishes to suit the guest. Very accommodative chef who indulges the guests and gives us a fantastic experience.
The best stakes in Chennai I've had here..
Thank you very much Santosh and all the staff.
A great restaurant with feel good ambience, very polite staff and coming to the most important thing food , tongue relishing food, had pastas , pizzas and salads.
Do taste Toscano sling their mocktail which is too good. High on budget but Worth for once in a while good dining.
Excellent food and Service, one of the best Italian food in Chennai city, good atmosphere, friendly service, I ll be there for twice, but never disappointed... All the best for Toscano team...
I liked the ambience of this place and the service was great.
For the starters I had the soup.
For main course I had the Fusili al funghi pasta along with the veg lasagna.
For the desserts, I had the Creme Brûlée and the Kaluha mousse. I liked the taste and presentation for all the dishes.
Coffee and desserts in a fancy place with friends = Sunday well spent.
In the picture: - Cappuccino, latte
- Chocolate khalua Mousse
- Freshly whipped mascarpone Tiramisu
- Alphonso Mangi lychee Panna cotta
- Charcoal smoked lemon cheese cake
It was heavenly, a treat for eyes and taste buds!

5 star food and service! We took our young children and they were kept busy with the kids activity pack. The artichoke and mushroom appetiser was delicious, as were the white pizza and tenderloin we ordered from their special truffle menu that’s being featured right now. The staff were very friendly, the bathroom was very clean, and we had a great time. Will definitely be satisfying all our cravings for Italian at Toscano from now on!
ambience is so romantic ..the aesthetics it's really well planned.it says wine bar although they don't server alcohol yet. delicious food but the quantity is less compared to the price
The place gives a very good first impression with an outlook of traditional European settings with the ambience. Place that fits almost 35 to 45 people at a time. A bar counter (non alcohlic) with high chairs .
We ordered bbq pizza and lasange di pollo . We got a complimentary brown bread with salsa before our mains . Pizza tasted great and was fresh , enough for 1 person . Lasange di pollo was excellent. It costed 1444 with taxes and service charge.

Small suggestion i would suggest is that it would be better if they had even wider menu
A little slice of Italy. Looks, feels and tastes very Italian. Amazing ambience. Suitable for Romantic date nights and high end family eat out. Highly recommended! Tenderloin Steak and Deep fried Bacon was awesome 👌
Beautiful space with fantastic Italian food. The inside is as beautiful as it is cozy. There is a massive bar at the far end with lots of cocktail and wine options. Food is fresh and fairly authentic. The thin-crust pizzas are amazing and a must-have. Bread is fresh, and the pesto that comes with it is just right. Lots of vegetarian options. Attentive and friendly staff.
We ordered through Zomato. All the pizzas were great. Quality of cheese and olive oil was very impressive, because flavors are so good. We had a good time while eating these pizzas.
Thank you so much lots of love❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Totally love this place, been here more than couple of times and here is what I like the most -
🍕Food - tried most of the things om the menu, here what I loved the most - pizza (love the burrata one), risotto, chicken plates and the desserts (crumble pie is my fav 🍥) and all of them tastes perfect, just cant complain!
🍴Service - the staff is really nice, attentive and offers really nice suggestions, especially the manager (head waiter), he takes real good care of the customers.
🪅Vibe check - any time you go the place just looks like a wow, however, if you want to go for a really nice date place, then I suggest visiting it in the evening - feels so romantic and cozy.
So far have loved all my visits, hoping the further ones continue to be as good, plan to visit here again soon ✨
The place and the hype stands for its ambience, food and great service. Enjoyed the dining experience and was delighted by the courteous behavior of the staffs. If you are person who indulges in Italian cuisines, this is one of the few places in Chennai which won’t disappoint you.
The ambience was stunning. Their food was luscious. The carbonara was just exquisite and to finish with a creme brulee was just what we needed. The staff are very courteous. Overall a very cozy experience. The only downside is they are expensive.

Visited the restaurant a couple of times- with my wife the first time and with my friends the next time. The place suits both the occasions.
Great garlic bread and Pizzas. Loved the roasted pumpkin soup and the silky broccoli soup on the respective days- both were the soup of the days of the respective days. The mozzarella was fresh and top notch- in the salad and on the pizza. The desserts are artfully plated. Service is quite pleasant and mostly fast, but is it worth the flat 10% they add on the bill? We’ll I had no reason to ask them to take it off my bill as service was fine, but not elated about it either. The first time if not for the included SCR, I’d have anyway ended tipping about 3% and the second time about 2% as we were group of 7 with a bill of over 12k. Adopting the US tipping culture blindly- nah, not good. If so, do you get waited like in the US? Nope, not from what I’ve heard.
On the down sides- the salads- felt they don’t really know what goes where. If you order the 3 or 4 salads on the menu, the chances are that you can’t distinguish them on your table. And who would place a bottle of ketchup the first thing on your table in an Italian restaurant!! 🤌 The comment on not knowing what goes where- another example is that of having sprouts on dessert- well they have some nice sprouts and I felt they’re overusing it in more than the necessary dishes.
The pesto what I got as sides for a complimentary bread platter felt out of this world. But the pesto pasta (or pasta Genovese as they call it- not that it took me to Genoa) wasn’t that impressive- fusilli reason’s pesto pasta does a more flavourful job I felt.
On the deserts- crème brûlée was just ok. Mango panna cotta felt more jelly-ish that I’m used to. The Tiramisu with the coffee ice cream were a treat to see and eat as well. The New York cheese cake- 4/5, didn’t feel it super fresh.
May have nitpicked a lot of small stuff, but paying for premium deserves such service. But over all, had a good time both the times with no major problems.
We went for dinner and the restaurant atmosphere gave a candle light dinner 🍽️ feeling which was great for us. They had a very wide menu for foods and drinks which I liked. We tried their bruschetta and sour dough pizza along with some mocktails. They also gave complimentary bread of the day for our tasting, which was good. Our favourite was the bruschetta and Pizza was also nice. Their service was also very pleasant and would like to visit again to try more from the menu
Delicious italian food. We had some pink sauce pasta, chicken lasagne, a marguerita pizza and a garlic bread.
The pasta was fantastic ! And special mention for the focaccia bread that they served as a complimentary with pesto and tomato puree.
Special thanks to Martha who was awesome, kind and smiling ! Kuddos to her hospitality and service :)
Went to grab a quick lunch with a client, very kind people and a really well thought out ambience, brings a comforting warmth from the outside world.
Tried their Toscano pizza and harissa chicken Pizza on a half and half pie.
Not surprising, but.......Reallyyy GOOOOOD pizza, great flavour in the dough, light, airy, chewy but crispy on the base and edges with perfect dark spots on the bottom....with balanced sauce, cheese and toppings.....didn't overdo anything, everything was just right.
Will definitely visit again, and highly recommend to a friend.
