Very warm, inviting and wonderful Italian atmosphere, friendly polite staff from hostess to waiter. Prices are very fair and food is delicious!

This was our first time eating at this restaurant. We had high hopes that it would be a new favorite spot in town to go to. We went on a Tuesday evening, and granted it was busy. Unfortunately we waited over an hour to get our main course. The portion sizes are quite small for the pricing as well. The food lacked flavor overall, and had been sitting out for quite some time before it got to our table. We would recommend that they add some garlic salt to their toasted bread. The server was polite at least.
Don’t think we will be going back.

I cannot recommend Cafe Tuscano. It is overpriced, has bad food, poorly trained staff, and tacky decor. The location is a converted gas station and the reconstruction is incomplete. Everything is unfinished and the staff is untrained and seems uneasy for some reason. The dish I ordered was overwhelmingly seasoned with Cayenne Pepper and was impossible to eat. I explained this to our server and asked if I could order a different dish. She said that she could not remove the first dish from the tab because the menu clearly stated that the dish was extremely spicy. I did not recall the menu stating that (I would not have ordered it if it had) and I asked her if I could possibly see the menu once again. She would not bring us the menu and we never saw her again. I later verified that the menu certainly did NOT specify the dish to be spicy. I thought it was very bad form for an over-priced and unfinished Italian restaurant with poorly train staff and bad food.

Ate here while staying at a nearby hotel, and I have to say… damn. Absolutely delicious. Fairly priced, good portions, and really damn tasty.

I have never had a poor experience here! The food is delicious, the staff is delightful, and the ambiance is cozy. I will always recommend this place.

I never would have guessed the great experience we would have at a restaurant attached to a gas station! I highly recommend this place, the Tri Tip Alfredo did not disappoint, the lemonade was great! The staff were very friendly and our waitress never let out drinks run dry the entire time we were there! I will be coming back.

The food is pretty different from what you get at a steak house, but they offer a lot of different meats. This is the typical Brazilian restaurant all you can eat meat with a big salad bar and a 25 dollar ticket per person. Hours are nice, but a reservation is a good idea. The first steak was perfect, but i wish it would've come around again before i got full.

Our server was so knowledgeable about the drinks, wine, beer and food that it was amazing! The food was divine!

Restaurant used to be an old gas station, but don't let the oddly shaped restaurant turn you away. Fantastic Italian food!

Service was good, atmosphere was good.
The food could have been better for the price I paid!
