Toscanella Apuana — Restaurant in Maastricht

I wish you could smell pictures because this is the best restaurant in Maastricht without doubts! The service is awesome. They take their time to explain you how the place works, to give you any recommendations or explanations. You can see that it's a family restaurant and although not every worker is blood related you can get the feeling of a family. It's an italian restaurant and as such all of the employees are italian, therefore the food is REAL italian and the products as well, if not local. The fact that they have day specials shows you how much they care about improving and trying new things for every taste. On top of it, this dinner was a surprise birthday celebration and they coordinated it perfectly to make it such an special moment. When the dessert was ordered they were told to put the candles on it. I'm so grateful to have done such an special dinner in this amazing place. It is a small restaurant so I will recommend to book before (by the time you arrive your table is ready). Definitely coming back to taste...

Very good experience and totally recommended for special occasions or for times you want to taste well made typical Italian dishes with some nice twists. The place has been recently renovated and it looks very elegant and welcoming. Every dish served was tasty, rich and delicious. Especially the Carbonara tartufata was a explosion of flavors. Also, Giacopo was super friendly with us and asked for special treatment for my pregnant wife that was also celebrating her birthday. We had as secondo a tagliatelle, but to be safe they divided it and made two dishes with different cooking points so tat both of us can enjoy it in a safe way. Lastly, they made us a special swan figure with candles to sing happy birthday. This was so sweet and beautiful. This place offers the best pasta dishes and Italian style meat I've tried...

I would like to call this an experience. Everything we had at the table was bloody amazing, from the wine to the beef to the lasagne and the tiramisu desert. The presentation of the food was very sophisticated, enticing me to want to eat it and enjoy every bite. The beef was tender and they have a hot stone with the beef to cook it how you like it. It came in blue, I decided to eat it as is and I could not have been more surprised by how beefy and tasty it was. The pasta in the lasagne was fluffy and the ragu inside was seasoned perfectly. The béchamel sauce complimented it very well. To end the night a perfect tiramisu was devoured. The slightly bitter coco powder with the sweet, succulent, moist biscuit hit the spot. This is defiantly one of my favourite Italian restaurants I...
