Eating at Trattoria Toscana is always wonderful. There is nothing on the menu that myself or anyone that I've taken with me hasn't liked. Having grown up partly in Italy, and Florence of all places, I find that Trattoria Toscana is honestly the only place in Boston that makes pasta, ribollita, and bruschetta the way it's supposed to be. Some of the pastas are just to die for such as the buongustaio pasta or the gorgonzola gnochi as well as the excellent meat dishes. The atmosphere and decor inside is very cozy as well as romantic. The waitstaff is extremely friendly and seems to have a deep knowledge of wines and the food itself. Many times while dining here have I seen the chef come out and personally ask customers how their meal is. If you want real Italian food, take the trip to the Fenway, you won't regret it!
Pros: food, ambience, service, value
Cons: parking, crowded on weekends
