Awesome food and service. Located in a strip mall so you wouldnt think that it is anything special but not true at all. Very intimate and always busy.

Typically a Scrumptious Stop, clever design and layout of restaurant. The food is typically delicious and the presentation is creative. Definitely not as good as it had been in the past on a recent stop. Kinda surprised. Went at lunch time.

Sad to learn that you need to have a party of 8 or more to have a reservation…. I love this restaurant and have been going since it opened. Unfortunately I will have to make reservations elsewhere..

Was visiting Nashua from Virginia and the wonderful waitress from our hotel recommended this place, so glad she did! Delicious food, made to order, and fast, friendly service. There were four of us eating there tonight and we all loved our meals: Eggplant Parm, Chicken Piccata, Pasta Carbonara, and my dish which I cant remember the name of but it was basically a healthier Chicken Saltimbocca, all were delicious! If you are in the mood for great Italian food, you should come to Cucina Toscana!

My husband and I came in on a whim for a dinner date on a Wednesday last week. Server was pleasant, drinks were delicious and so was the food! I had the butternut squash ravioli and hubby had a broiled steak and couldnt stop raving about it. Ended my meal with one of the best espresso martinis Ive ever had! Cant wait to return.

We came here early on a Saturday night and it was set up for a few big parties they asked if we had a reservation and we did not but they still seated us right away. Luckily we got our order in right away before the big parties filtered in. My husband ordered the veal parm. I had the chicken parm and my daughter had the lasagna. My son had pasta with sausage. I also ordered a caprese salad. It was delicious I added the balsamic glaze. The tomatoes were fresh and I would order it again. We decided to get the chocolate cake for dessert the kids loved it.

Its a very nice place and bigger than it looks from the outside. I went for lunch and soup or salad is included. I had a very pleasant Caesar salad. For my main I picked the Veal Alla Francese that comes with past either on the side with sauce or on the plate. The sauce was tasty and the pasta was cooked right. The Veal was very tough and chewy. Go with the chicken version instead of this disaster. The service was very pleasant.

This restaurant has gone downhill :( sauce for the mussels was bland . We got rolls that weren’t even warmed up in the oven and my butternut squash ravioli sauce had no flavor . My husband and son got the fettuccine Alfredo with some pan blackened scallops and they did love their food . Slice of the Spumoni was such a small piece . Not even a full slice. I was very disappointed ☹️

Review №25

Fantastic food, adorable little restaurant, friendly staff. Lots of menu items, all freshly made. Very vegetarian friendly! Definitely will be back.Their homemade Spumoni (pictured below) was a great way to wrap up a meal. Ive personally never had a dessert like this - rum ice cream blended with maraschino cherries and almonds surrounded by chocolate and cream.

Delicious Italian restaurant! Nashua doesnt have a lot of non-chain restaurants, so not only is it refreshing to go somewhere that is owned by a local business owner, the food is amazing. The portions are just the right size and the environment is cozy and welcoming, and the servers are nice. I have been there a few times when they accommodate large parties, so definitely a good place to consider if you are planning on having a larger gathering.

Always heard great things about this place, and perhaps my high expectations made the experience all the more disappointing.I got the fettuccini alfredo with broccoli and chicken, and the wife got penne primavera.Both dishes were quite bland, inoffensive. Three stars, no more no less. The prices, however, are reasonable.

Review №42

Dont let the outside strip mall appearance and the entry deceive you or deprive you of this gem. The atmosphere, maintenance of the facility, employees and of course the food are nothing short of amazing right down to the dessert.We started with the Calamari (as we always do everywhere we go, if its on the menu) it was crisp, light and flakey and cooked to perfection. Not a single hint of chewey.The Entrees were cooked to perfection from the Veal Saltimboca for me to the Vegetarian pasta for my daughter, the scampi for my wife and the classic ziti with chicken and broccoli for my son. Not a single complaint. We finished the night with Tira Mi Su and espresso.We will be back.Be sure to support this gem so we can enjoy their service and great food for years to come.Beware of those giving anything less than a perfect review for this restaurant. Commenting on old world classics like chicken parm or portion size, hardly deserves a read.Make the trip, you will be pleased.I hope this review makes your mind up to go!

Absolutely now my number one place to eat.... Clean, very friendly and a menu that will fit the billing of many a guest.. my meal was cooked perfectly, just as in the days when you could visit a well known place like the Villa Capri in Innman Square and get a real Italian meal.... I will definitely be back for many a wonderful meal.... Must also mention that the hostess/waitress was very kind, polite and always smiling, that always makes my day. Thanks for a great meal and warm atmosphere.

I had a really lovely experience a this restaurant. I arrived with a friend not long before closing, and we were given such a friendly greeting, despite being a late walk-in.

Review №58

The best italian restaurant in the area. I argue its better than some of the places in North End of Boston. The food is fantastic and they allow you to order off menu or customize items easily. Their cocktails are great and they have a great selection of wines to choose from. Their bread rolls are really good, Im pretty sure they make them fresh onsite. The menu is quite substantially and everything Ive tried has been fantastic. I highly recommend their Gnocchi del piemonte and the Penne Rosate. Its definitely packed on friday and saturday nights so make a reservation or be a little patient. The wait staff is very attentive, especially Bella who always goes above and beyond to make a meal there special. Great spot for date night, especially the back house seating area.

This has been my favorite restaurant for a few years now. Every October we go for my birthday, and its always a great experience. The first year getting in was easy. This year we were seated at that section off of the lounge. Our server was very pleasant and made the whole experience very enjoyable. Next year we will have to go with a reservation. The food is amazing, and although it is expensive it is an experience worth having.

Review №63

As an occasional visitor, the best I can say is that they offer mediocre food and a downright miserly attitude toward the patrons. Due to its convenient proximity weve eaten at this establishment a number of times, each time thinking that it gets its good reviews for some reason that we have yet to discover, but every meal ordered has been so-so at best. This would would normally rate two or three stars, maybe, except for the poor service and petty attitude of management after they admitted to getting our order wrong.

This was our first time eating here, and we will back! We made reservations for New Years Eve, and glad that we did, as the restaurant was crowded all night. The food was reasonably priced, and all 4 of our meals were excellent. Each of us ordered different meals, and each was cooked to order. Meals are a good size, and come with a side of pasta. The only thing that I could recommend is that the side of pasta could be larger. Drinks were also reasonably priced. Our service was excellent. Our waitress was knowledgeable, professional, came by several times and to make sure that we what everything that we needed. Several items that we were impressed by were that the owner came by every table to make sure that everyone, and everything was good, and that we were not hurried out of the restaurant. It was a nice relaxing meal on a very busy night! I would definitely recommend Cucina Toscana to anyone that was interested in going to an excellent Italian restaurant in the area!

Excellent food, good service, dont go if you are in a rush. Food is cooked to order and is worth the wait. Veal was very tender. I would skip dessert desserts were very small and 899 coffee was a little burnt tasting and was small and was 250 but definitely go for the Italian food which was delicious.

Review №75

I have been several times and the food is consistently great. I service was very good also. Although a bit crowded the atmosphere is pleasant. Despite the limited space and the popularity of Cucina Toscana, during our multiple visits we have never felt rushed. The food is on par with our all time favorite place, the long closed Prince Grotto in Lowell Ma. The only area for improvement is the atmosphere. However given the limited space this mostly likely is not possible, but the food more than makes up for this small detractor.

We have really enjoyed cucina Toscana. We have tried many of their selections and all have been fresh and flavorful. The apps and soup are tasty as well and the bread fresh and delicious.Service is generally good and the food arrives in a reasonable time. They have become quite poplar though and the dining room is a bit loud and crowded on a busy night.The quality of the meal outweighs the atmosphere. One of the better Italian restaurants in the Nashua area.

Review №78

What a charming place. You can tell the quality of a restaurant based on the dimness of the lights and the thread count in the napkins. Im happy to say that Cucina Toscana uses 30-watt bulbs throughout and has napkins nicer than the blankets on my bed. It is quite pricy, but the food is very good and there are actual candles on the tables.

If this place hadnt been recommended to me, I wouldve never even known it existed. Its a very unassuming location in a strip mall on Amherst St in Nashua. Ive visited about 7 times over the past year, and never had a bad meal or experience. The lounge in the back of the restaurant is my favorite. The dishes are cooked to order, so you can have them add or exclude ingredients to fit your preference. Delicious cocktails, hot, fresh bread and oil, and wonderful food. Billy is the best bartender, and makes it a point to remember his regulars. Love this place!
