Toscana restaurant — Restaurant in London

It's not until you spot that favourite old jumper at the back of the wardrobe that you realise just how much you've missed wearing it.

And Toscana is the restaurant equivalent of that favourite old jumper, it might not look like something bang on trend for this season, but every time you slip into it you know you're going to be pleased you did.

Prior to the first lockdown we came to Toscana very regularly, once every couple of weeks probably, and Helen and I have both held significant birthdays there. Since lockdown we've not been out so much and we tend to try to vary where we go more, so Toscana had slipped down our list a little.

This weekend we went back there for a family celebration and everything was just how we left it; the staff were lovely and remembered everyone's names from previous visits and the food was the same quality as ever, neither of which are easy when you're in a party of fourteen. One thing that always splits the crowd is the decor in Toscana, some people find it a little dark and dated, but personally I love it, there's a certain individual charm that a venue can acquire when the decor goes beyond being dated and it becomes part of what makes visits there so enjoyable.

The whole place suits itself so well that nothing should ever change in my opinion, I want to be able to pull this comfy jumper on for...

Love to visit Toscana when I come down from Yorkshire to see my daughter. Never disappoints. Booked a table for a Thursday night. It was very busy with a lively atmosphere. We were greeted immediately on arrival and shown to a lovely corner spot near the kitchen. The friendly waitress took our order and our drinks quickly arrived. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. I chose the homemade pasta: ravioli with spinach and ricotta: delicious. My daughter chose tagliatelle with chicken and mushrooms and was equally happy with her dish. We shared some tasty cheesy garlic bread. For desserts we enjoyed apple pie and a lemon sorbet. Perfect end to our evening. The staff are very friendly and welcoming here and clearly have a lot of regulars! It’s set just across the road from the Premier Inn so ideal if you’re staying there and only a few mins walk from the train station. Do book in advance as it is deservedly...

Firstly, this place does not do pizza. We put "pizza" into Google maps and it brought up this restaurant. We wanted a quick pizza.

We realised once we had the menus that they did pasta, risotto etc but no pizza. They were so nice in seating us outside with our babies, under the heater, making space, that we stayed. Glad we did as it was a lovely meal. Service was great. Bit old fashioned, white table cloth service, but guess that serves their main customer base. We had garlic and chilli King prawn starter to share, chicken tagliatelle (chicken pasta white sauce) and chicken milanese with spaghetti pomodoro (breaded chicken with spaghetti tomato sauce). £21 each with two cokes, lovely lunch. The food came really quickly. They also provided olives and bread at...
