The New Toscana Grill is NOW UNDER New Jersey Management. We have created a casual Pasta House & Pizzeria that features Classic Italian Cuisine with a relaxing wine bar. Our newly renovated patio will be open for this season. Note* We are not on the street but within Courthouse Plaza. Our entrance is next door to the Sports Bar Patio visible at 2300 Clarendon.

"Joe, the manager did a great job with my family, Italian immigrants right off the boat,who are very critical when it comes to dining out and they all (15 people) loved the food and service. The staff was very attentive and the food was fresh and hot when it reached THE TABLE. Would highly recommend to all.

"My wife and I stopped by Toscana Grill last weekend. The food was great. The managing partner was there and working hard doing a bit of everything. He was friendly and energetic and made us feel extremely welcome. As for the food, I didn't have one of their traditional Italian dished, instead I had a great piece of crab stuffed Salmon that was delicious. I would certainly (in fact I already have) recommend this place to anyone."

"Easily my new favorite spot in Arlington! Great pizza (and I say this as someone who grew up in New Jersey), delicious scratch-made soups, and pasta dishes that are incredible (fresh ingredients, great flavor, and will leave you feeling full but not stuffed)."

"We love the new Toscana Grill and its high energy owner, Joe. The food is always good authenic italian and they have a good wine list. You can't go wrong with this local gem near Courthouse movie theater and Arlington County offices."

"The revamped (under new New Jersey management) Toscana Grill is focusing exactly on what it should -- the food and the service. The menu hits the right balance of both classic and creative Italian dishes, avoiding being either boring or pretentious. The staff was personable and engaging without being pushy, showing the possibility for Toscana to become the kind of neighborhood restaurant you would visit regularly -- and where they might just know your name. The ambience is still, literally, a work in progress, but they've come a long way from the old look. New booth seating and a clearly identifiable entrance (the current entrance seems temporary?) will make a positive difference."

"For some reason, the servers were rushing us this evening. We ordered drinks and appetizer, but before the drinks were on the table, they kept trying to get us to order our entrees. It was our first time there, so it took us a while to read the menu! After that, the server kept taking the wine list, even though we asked to keep it so we could order more wine. Other than that, it was a nice evening. The food was very good."

"I wanted to try something new for Valentine's Day. I've learned my lesson: for special occasions, stick with what you know.
The prix fixe dinner menu looked enticing enough, and was reasonably priced. We were greeted and promptly seated by a friendly maitre d', and our order was taken in good time. It was all downhill from there. For about 20 minutes it was clear that no one in the restaurant was getting their food. When it finally came, my medium steak was past well-done, but we'd waited so long for it, I didn't complain. We saw another patron complain that his was overcooked as well. Clearly there was a major problem in the kitchen, but there was no communication about it.
Why are so many amateurs running restaurants? Grrr."

Overall, a nice inexpensive meal."

"The new management has made strides in improving their food quality, service, and overall dining experience. Everything was spot on with our custom pasta dishes. Attentive service and, sometimes an underrated action, a quick and friendly greeting when arriving."
