Hubby & I took our son to Tosca for his 39th birthday. Would I call the food excellent? Probably not but then I compare all Italian restaurants with what I've had in Italy so the comparison isn't fair. Appetizers were very good (pea soup, fried zucchini blossoms), entrees very good also (fish very simply grilled and lamb). The waiter informed... More

Recently, we had the pleasure of dining as Tosca. We were visiting the area and had made reservations, which I think is a must, but were unaware of appropriate dress. The men were dressed in suits and the women were either in a suit or dress. We were not...yikes. Our server seemed put out at the beginning of the meal,... More

We really enjoyed our meal - the starter salad was good but the soup was reported as excellent by others. The ravioli pasta was superb as was the whole wheat spaghetti (perfectly al dente). The salmon was prepared as we like it - the tiramisu was different than we have seen the madera wine flavor was too strong but the... More

Excellent food. I totally cleaned my plate. The waiter even commented, "Well, you seemed to enjoy your meal." and I had. Service is very good. More attentive at the beginning then at the end when the room filled-up.

I made reservations on opentable for lunch for two people here. Hostess was very nice and we were seated in a somewhat quiet area of the restaurant as requested. The waiter was a little "snooty" if you ask me, but overall service was really great. It took awhile to get the check but by that time it was a little... More

This place knows how to make pasta! Being a fan of ravioli i try this almost every time i see it on the menu, and this place makes it crazily delicious! I;m a regular and all the pastas that i tried here are top notch, soup also. Very reasonably priced. Keep up the good work guys!

Love the new design. Great food and service. We love coming for a special occasion, but it is actually very reasonable compared to other high end places I rank this with. Like fiola and Marcel's.

Tosca is lovely and the food is wonderful. They have a nice blend of traditional dishes as well as more modern interpretations with a local flare.

Upon entering the restaurant we were warmly greeted and welcomed. Each element of our meal was of excellent quality, starting with the wine. One will be hard pressed to find a more delicious Italian meal in DC. The scallop was particularly delicious, as we're each of the pasta dishes we shared. Bravo Tosca!
