Ristorante Toscano

Owner John Bruno and brother Carl welcome you to this family owned BYOB. We use local ingredients for creating our sauces, soups, and entrees (some of which are sold Saturdays at the Lansdale Farmers Market).
John has been preparing his entrees and deserts at Toscano for almost twenty years.
Catering has included many locations and we are one of the exclusive caterers of the Morris Arboretum which is a part of the University of Pennsylvania.

"Although the pasta dish was good, a salad would have been a nice lunch addition for the price."

"The service at Ristorante Toscano was very good. The waitress was attentive and the co-owner stopped by several times to ask us about our meal, etc. The menu is diverse and interesting. On the first Friday of each month they have live piano music which is a special touch. Location, location, location is what is needed for Ristorante Toscano. The entrance and signage do not draw in diners and it was a mature, quiet crowd."

"Toscano is a hit or miss restaurant in my opinion. We have gone there several times and sometimes the food is great and other times, it is just okay. I think they put too much sauce on their food which takes away from the flavor of the food. We ordered the Basa and the waitress told us it is very similar to Chilian Sea Bass but when we got home, we checked and it is a type of Catfish. The service was good. However, the establishment it self was very cold; that is something that we have found every time we go there."

"We have been wanting to try them for some time. We purchase from them at the Farmers Market in town where they have a booth but schedules just have not worked out to go to the restaurant. My husband did a good job picking there for V day. We had a great time and the food gets a 2 thumbs up
We plan on going back and taking our friends!!!

"All the produce and seafood was very fresh, and sauces were incredibly good. Service was friendly and attentive, we never had to wait for anything. Dinner was reasonably priced and there were no silly corkage fees or anything for drinking the wine we brought."
