Ambiance (3/5): A lovely space but tight table setting (so tight that the back of my seat was against someone else’s, in order to get out, I had to have my seated companion leave their seat to leave mine…). Seating available at the bar as well. A cockroach was spotted outside the bathroom area!!
Service (3/5): The owner was very friendly but not helpful when asked what the different red wines were and instead insisted on the most expensive one. I would suggest other patrons do a little research beforehand if you are unfamiliar with Italian wines. Wait staff did not speak English so we had to wait for the owner to get off his phone call, as he was the only one getting orders and closing bills. Expect the experience to take at least an hour 30 min if you are going before the show.
Food (2/5): We came out with an expensive bill (1 $17 bottle of wine, 2 apps, 3 entrees for 4 pp @ $270) for the portion and taste.
Warm table bread with olive oil – this was great
Caesar Salad (5/5): The salad was fresh and tasted great. It was large enough to share with 4 of us.
Special menu – Octopus (3/5) $27ish: One singular tiny octopus leg for almost $30. Parts of the octopus was overcooked, but it did have a lovely taste to it. Served with a butter knife which made it difficult to cut.
Special menu – 47oz Steak (2/5) $45ish: Well seasoned. The meat was incredibly tough. Surprised to see how small the dish turned out to be. It was nice that it came pre-sliced.
Branzino (3/5) $44: A lackluster filet fish with little flavor on an even smaller portioned dish. This was the biggest disappoint of the entrees
Stracotto alla Toscana (5/5) ($45): This was by far the best dish of the night. The beef was super tender and had sizable portion and stewed in a sauce that soaked up all the flavor. The menu mentioned carrots and none were included…

I’m happy to have found a new favorite restaurant to hit before a show. Via Toscana is quality, HOMEMADE Italian, just a quick walk from Broadway- think handmade, housemade pasta, Nonna’s tiramisu and a full bar full of Italian amaros to end- or start- the night. They are in full Christmas mode right now, are it’s an especially cozy spot to enjoy the season. AND I’ve saved the best for last- they have an AMAZING happy hour!! Oh, and super dog friendly. This spot checks all the boxes!

I always come to this amazing Italian restaurant, and every time I order something new and enjoy it so much. Whenever I’m here, Andrea and his son Nico are simply the best—so kind, lovely, and polite.
You can come here for any kind of occasion; they even have a cozy little backyard that makes the restaurant’s atmosphere even more delightful.
I highly recommend visiting this wonderful Tuscan family.

Fantastic experience. Andrea and family were excellent hosts! The food experience was very good. The gnocchi was a great choice, creamy melt in your mouth. Tiramisu for dessert was fantastic and to top it off a nice espresso. Nice & quiet atmosphere. There was a larger group behind me laughing and enjoying themselves!

A small place in Manhattan with very authentic Tuscan vibe and food. Even the bartender sounds very Italian. Erycolesant atmosphere. Good bar menu featuring happy hour drinks and food.

Last night in the city we popped in here on a whim. Beautiful little restaurant. Very friendly. We had the amazing bruschetta for an appetizer. I had the lasagna, wife had a shrimp pasta and my daughter had the spaghetti pomodoro. The presentation was top notch and the taste was even better. Looking forward to coming back.

Hello, I would like to share my experience at Via Toscana with you all. I was here with a 9 person group including children. The atmosphere is okay but the pictures on the walls are interesting… I ordered a fettuccine Alfredo, Shirley temple, and margarita pizza. The Shirley temple was a bit overly sweet but I appreciated the light inside the drink. The Alfredo came in a pretty small serving however it was delicious. Now here is why I gave this a 2 star review, the pizza… It came looking and tasting like a store bought frozen pizza. This restaurant was also very expensive. I would maybe recommend this restaurant but it is not a must stop. Visit with caution.

Via Toscana earned a perfect 5-star rating from me for a fantastic overall experience. The atmosphere was the standout feature at 4 stars, while the food and service were both solid and met expectations at 3 stars each. It’s a great spot for a reliable and pleasant meal.

Delicious food! Perfect for pre or post broadway show lunch or dinner. Excellent location to get to any of the theaters after eating a delicious meal. The pasta is fresh and tasty! We will go back for sure! The white wine Albarino is a must have with your pasta. The owner treated us so well and was very gracious. Thank you!!!

Really wonderful experience there. It was the best restaurant we actually ate at in our time in New York City. Our servers name was Andrea and he was like an Italian grandfather. Always coming over to make sure you getting enough and super sweet. They made my daughter feel special for her 18th birthday. The food was amazing and high-quality ingredients. I loved my lobster ravioli. And the tiramisu was outstanding. We enjoyed the calamari and the fettuccine Alfredo as well. I just wish we had bigger stomach so we could eat more. Everything was so good. I recommend seeing this tiny little gem if you’re visiting New York City.
