Toscano's in Bordentown continues to be a standout dining experience, delivering excellence with every visit. We are there at least once a month. Last night was no exception. we ordered their tomahawk steak for two, cooked to a perfect medium rare. The steak was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor--the dry-aged process added a rich depth that truly set it apart. Although my favorite is still the 45 days porterhouse. I guess old habit is hard to break. For appetizers, we started with the truffle ravioli as usual, which was decadently creamy with a robust truffle essence that lingered in a good way. Each bite was a rich, flavorful treat. The lobster pot pie was equally impressive, first time having this, didn't know what to expect, we were glad we got it. The pot pie offered a buttery, flaky crust that gave way to a luscious filling of tender lobster and a perfectly seasoned sauce, almost like a bisque but not as rich. Honestly, you could've have that as your dinner. But good dish to share as app. Toscano's never disappoints, consistently delivering both exceptional food and warm, attentive service. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying a great meal, this is a place that always exceeds expectations. Highly recommend! Go now.
Dinner at Toscano was delish! Toscano is a quaint resturant and was decorated so cute for the holiday season! The staff were so lovely! Our waiter was so helpful and accommodating when navigating through the menu. The mood in the restaurant is definitely a more elevated feel with dim lighting and white tablecloths. This resturant is perfect for a holiday dinner with family, date night or even an event to take clients for work! I came with my fiancé and parents and we all really enjoyed! This Italian steakhouse had such delicious and unique appetizers like their Italian Eggrolls and Bacon Dusted Calamari. The eggrolls were stuffed with broccoli rabe, sausage, and provolone over a white bean bruschetta. I was OBSESSED with these eggrolls. I honestly could've had a few! The appetizer came with 4 so everyone was able to have one. The calamari was also tasty with a sweet and sour sauce pesto aioli over top! I liked the sauce but it was a bit smokey. Overall really enjoyed the appetizers! For our entrees we ordered the spicy vodka chicken parm over their homemade cavatelli pasta, Root beer Glazed French cut Pork chop, the house made cavatelli and chicken francese with mashed potatoes and asparagus. My favorites were the chicken francaise and the house made cavatelli! Their homemade pasta is so delish and I loved all the sauces the dishes were in! All the desserts looked phenomenal but I was way too full by the end of this meal to have any! Definitely would recommend this spot, you will certainly not be disappointed!
The food was amazing. We had a party of four dinner reservations for 5:30. We were promptly seat at our reserved time. The restaurant was packed. It's an upscale restaurant. We had chicken parm and pork chops. Both were excellent. The bread and butter were very good. We all had the delicious flourless cake with vanilla crumble ice cream for dessert. Debbie our server was wonderful. She told us about the history of the restaurant. There are tables on the upper level (a few steps up). It is romantic in a sense. There is no parking on the premises. They do have valet parking for $5.00. There is a parking lot across from the restaurant if you are lucky enough to get a spot. We will definitely return.
Came back to Toscano tonight, hadn't been here since before COVID. Wow. So good. Everything was so good. Drinks, service, ambience, and FOOD. We shared the wedge salad, bone-in filet, scallops, and French onion mashed potatoes. Everything was fantastic. Can't wait to return!
I love a well cooked flavorful aged steak. I was doubtful but the strip sirloin here was the best.
The food here is very good. My husband actually quietly proposed to me here during dinner one night. The roasted bone marrow with crostini was delicious. I am not sure if it's always on the menu, but if you can catch it when it's on special, it is phenomenal. I am knocking a star off because that night they served my steak with lobster sauce without any indication on the menu. I am allergic to lobster, thankfully not severely. We informed the server and they remade the dish. We have been back a couple times since, mainly for lunch and the food has been very good.
FANTASTIC Dinner and Experience. This place has been on our bucket list for a while now, friends had recommended it, we had eaten at other places around it; we finally had the perfect night to get away from the kids on our 8th Anniversary. I'm so glad we did. Cozy, dim lit, and intimate, it has the upscale feel, with the small town vibe. Awesome bar area backed up by two-tier seating on the way to the kitchen. In the kitchen, the chef and staff are cooking up some amazing dishes and specials. It was very hard to decide because all the options sounded great! (Who am I kidding I knew I was getting a steak, it's a STEAKhouse!) For apps we went with the specials: Squash Blossoms with I believe a romesco (red pepper) sauce, and they were delicious! We also did the Tuna app special :crispy rice cake, tuna (rare), Avocado, Wasabi, tobiko...Amazing...my wife ate 1.5 and she doesn't like tuna, it was that good. Dinner was my dry aged ribeye cooked rare+ (I left it to the chef to do their magic) it was like butter, barely had to chew it, so flavorful. They bring it out on a searing plate with garlic, butter, and rosemary, baste it, and let it rest table side before serving it. I was salivating in anticipation. Unfortunately my picture came out blurry but there are others in yelp for reference. My wife (not a steak person) got the crab pappardelle with asparagus and spinach in I believe a white wine sauce. It was really good, she loved it, but I came for steak. She even tried my steak and said "wow, that's really good." Dessert we opted for flourless chocolate cake with berries and peanut butter ice cream. Probably our toughest decision of the night, lol. It was good, but I really want to get tiramisu next time, all the desserts looked great. Drinks were on point- pomegranate margarita and dirty gin martini. Great spot to celebrate an occasion or just get a really nice upscale dinner. Check them out.
We went on a Monday night to celebrate a birthday. The restaurant is on the main Bordentown restaurant strip. I've heard that this is one of the better steaks in the area. For a starter, we shared the pear vinegarette salad which was enough to share. It was very tasty where you could taste the sour vinegar, sweet pear, and salt. Great balance. For the main, we ordered a porterhouse steak medium, with garlic mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. The steak was cooked to medium rare which was fine. The char on the steak was perfect! My only suggestion would be slightly more salt. Overall, steak was 8/10. But it was cooked like Peter Luger, broiled and served in butter. The sides were excellent and I would say 9.5/10. We got olive oil cake and tiramisu for dessert. Both were just ok, probably a 6.5/10. I would definitely go back. Wait staff were attentive and great.
Fantastic service!!! Very relaxing ambience. Oodles of staff to care for your every wish! Lovely fresh bread with butter to start! We split a meatball with salad and it was fantastic and delicious . We also ordered a cheese stuffed eggplant ! Wow! It was so crispy and flavorful ! This place has my absolute favorite meatballs. I loved my fish of the day!! Healthy and flavorful! Cooked to perfection !!! I'm gonna recommend that you try their fresh blueberry garnished cake. It's always a big hit. Absolute heaven! A very special place!!!
We finally tried this place after hearing so many good recommendations. The place is charming. Luckily it wasn't too crowded and was able to make a last minute lunch reservation. Keith the server was amazing! I just have one negative comment - the floor is extremely slippery. It was raining today so not sure if that's the reason. I had the pumpkin bisque and it was delicious. Tasted like pumpkin pie. The spices were on point. It was very filling. Almost too filling. I had the shrimp risotto special. The risotto had lump crab meat and fresh sweet corn and pancetta. It came with 4 decent sized grilled shrimp. It was a nice sized portion for lunch. Could barely finish it after the soup. My husband had the pescatore with fra diavolo sauce. Angel hair pasta with a ton of seafood. I tried a piece of calamari and the sauce was way too spicy for me. He enjoyed it.
