Originally opened in 2010 as the first authentic Artisan Italian restaurant in Salem, NH, Tuscan Kitchen is now one of the most beloved restaurants in New England. Founder Joe Faro, the son of Sicilian immigrants, had the vision to share his love for Italian heritage with his guests. Tuscan Kitchen has locations in Salem, New Hampshire, Burlington and Boston, Massachusetts.
Sprawling Italian haunt serving polished dishes & wine amid rustic-chic surrounds.

Every thing was wonderful. The bartender was lovely and attentive but not overbearing. The food was delicious! I was told the ravioli came 4 but only for 3 for $17! Delicious nonetheless but i wish there was 1 more bc it was that good!!! My friend ordered a panini like sandwich and it was massive! We shared a bottle of the frenzy Sauvignon blanc. We spent about $140 with tip included which I guess isn’t that bad considering location, ambience, food and service. I’m excited to come back again!
Perfect for a quiet lunch at the bar which is what we wanted. Kings next door was doing way to much

We had a wonderful dining experience at Tuscan Kitchen at the Seaport, made even better by our server, Milly. She was incredibly attentive, polite, and efficient, making sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, and the desserts were truly decadent—an amazing way to end the meal. Milly’s excellent service really elevated the entire experience. We’ll definitely be back!
The food and service were lovely, and I would have given five stars across the board if not for the atmosphere. With both a DJ and the house music playing at the same time, it became quite loud and made it harder to focus and enjoy the experience.

I came here for dinner over the weekend and overall had a very good experience. The food was flavorful and beautifully presented—I especially enjoyed the seafood pasta, which had a nice balance of spice and freshness. The burrata appetizer with pomegranate seeds was also a lovely combination of creamy and refreshing.
That said, the portion sizes were huge. While I appreciate generosity, I personally felt the dishes were a bit too large for a restaurant of this level, and I ended up leaving a lot of food behind. For me, slightly smaller portions with the same quality would have made the experience even better. Of course, some people may love the “big plate” style, so it depends on preference.
The sangria I had was very refreshing, and the service was attentive and friendly without being overwhelming. The atmosphere was lively, with a modern open kitchen that adds a nice energy to the space.
Overall, I’d recommend Tuscan Kitchen Seaport if you’re looking for bold flavors, excellent seafood pasta, and a fun dining atmosphere. Just come hungry!

We came here because of friend’s recommendation for the $1 oyster happy hour. We liked the oysters, but what made us visited twice a day was the cocktail – SUPER DELICIOUS! (yes, twice because we decided to stop by for another drink before we ended our day)
We tried the Smokin’s Peach, Dirty But Classy and Me Lychee – great presentation and great taste (not too sweet, not to “alcohol”)
I can’t speak for the food cuz I didn’t dine here, but the oyster and truffle fries are really good. Highly recommended if you are looking for tasty and good quality cocktail.

Why is my caprese $16 when I got less than one tomato and pebble sized mozzarella that’s clearly more chewy than soft.
The chicken is overcooked. I’m fighting to eat it because I paid $36 for an absolute joke of a chicken. No water given. Potatoes are ok. Broccolini is ok. Jus is awful. Way too salty. No seasoning. No flavor. Chicken is burnt. Not moist.
I’m fighting to eat anything. It’s so bad that I have resorted to copious amounts of pepper, Tabasco and ketchup.
No bread served. Awful experience. Bartender clearly was disgusted at my presence of existing. The most contemptuous experience I’ve had since Waffle House. Did I mention she did not give me a glass of water.
Go to the north end. But jeez. Even the north end is corporatized now. The daily catch maybe?
I will say however. It did exactly what it was expected to do. It’s a vibey restaurant. Just not a serious one.
Ban Boston from your culinary experience. There is nothing here worth saving.

I celebrated my 30th birthday here last night and it was truly the best experience I’ve ever had. They went above and beyond!! The food was absolutely delicious and drinks were amazing too!! Plus those limoncello shots were top tier! Our server was so attentive and kind and made my birthday extra extra special! And shout out to Joe the manager, he was one of the nicest people ever and runs a smooth, amazing restaurant. The decor was also out of this world. Thank you Joe and Tuscan kitchen for ringing in my 30th birthday and making it truly the best night ever!!

Tuscan Kitchen in the Seaport is absolutely fantastic! The atmosphere is warm and upscale yet inviting, perfect for both date nights and special gatherings. The food is outstanding — every dish tastes fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. The pasta and wood-fired entrees are especially amazing, and the wine list pairs beautifully with the menu. The staff is friendly, attentive, and really go above and beyond to make you feel taken care of. With its stunning location and top-notch service, Tuscan Kitchen is one of the best spots in the Seaport — definitely a place you’ll want to come back to again and again!

The food was alright but very overpriced for what it was. But you’re in seaport so that’s expected. The pasta dishes were decent, and the brick chicken was cooked well but pretty bland. Caesar salad was okay but the biggest robbery was the portion of chicken pictured was $14 extra! Basically half a chicken breast for $14. Also for the salad being $15 off the bat, you’d think they could at least fill the plate with lettuce. The salad pictured was $29 total… Nice vibes in there but would not go back

I recently shared my night at seaport Tuscan and had an amazing experience with Kevin on my Sunday night. I took myself out to dinner and Kevin was the best company I could have ever found. He was so attentive and caring towards me. He took time to talk to me and was genuinely one of the most personable people I have ever spoken to. His energy was electric and made my experience worth every second and dollar !! He walked me through the menu and helped me navigate my palate to find the perfect dish for me! He was patient and kind and is definitely worth the return visit! He is such an impeccable staff member and genuinely despite the number of places in Boston I can go to get a pasta dish, I will return here every time for him!!

The best lobster gnocchi I’ve ever had. Melt in your mouth perfection. It’s one of those dishes you try and eat as slow as you can to savor every bite.
