    Been here several times. I love the food. It's hard to find food of this quality in west Pembroke Pines. We need more restaurants of this caliber out that way. The meatballs, veal cutlet and chocolate souffle is DELICIOUS HERE! A must-try!!! Great service. Staff is always nice.

    Last night we had our event at Il toscano in their beautiful outside patio which fit 40 guests very comfortably. Our waitresses and waiters that took care of us were beyond accommodating and friendly.Mario and his son worked with me on the menu and accommodated anyone that had a diet restriction with no hassle. Appetizers, salads and entrees were timed to be served to our guests without any issues. All of our guests loved the food especially the red snapper. The owner is always there checking to make sure all is well and if anything is needed. We come here often and always had a great meal so we decided to make this special event here and we couldnโ€™t have been happier with the outcome! Thank you all again for making our event memorable and of course flavorable!

    Food is good but limited menu for my taste. 20% tip is automatically added to bill. The Comedy show is the primary reason for 3 stars. They need to realize their crowd is generation x and baby boomers so the comedians should not be insulting to that demographic. I wasn't entertained or amused. The show and comedy is probably funny to 30 year old men.

    A Perfect Night at Il Toscano Ristorante My recent visit to Il Toscano Ristorante in West Pembroke Pines was nothing short of a delightful culinary adventure. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, creating an atmosphere of refined elegance from the moment you step inside. The staff's warm and friendly demeanor sets Il Toscano apart, treating us more like family than customers. They provided outstanding service, maintaining the perfect balance of attentiveness without intrusion. The star of the night was undoubtedly the Manicotti Pasta stuffed with Ricotta Cheese and Mozzarella, served in a rich pink sauce. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, so delectably balanced that it left me craving for more. The prices were surprisingly reasonable, and the generous portion sizes were a welcome bonus. The finale to our meal, a delicious mango sorbet, was a refreshing endnote that encapsulated the restaurant's knack for delivering well-crafted Italian dishes. I wholeheartedly recommend Il Toscano Ristorante for anyone in search of a top-notch dining experience. Rest assured, I will be revisiting soon to relive this unforgettable night.

    Beyond amazing! Best service. Family owned and operated. The food was cooked just perfect. Highly recommend spaghetti bolognese. They also have a room you can reserve for private parties!

    My husband and I just enjoyed a meal at this fine establishment! We were there for our 23rd anniversary. Our waitress Helen was very friendly and accommodating. Couldn't have asked for better service or a better meal. Thank you!

    Stellar atmosphere and friendly staff. While the lasagne was a miss the appetizers and other entrees were enough to make us come back again to try the rest. Good menu selection and good choices of wine and alcohol. Itโ€™s a bit expensive but we think it will be worth it for a local Italian favorite. We will be back.

    Big restaurant & spacious. The service was second to none. It's a hidden gem in west pines. I enjoyed my dinner date with my husband. The dirty martini was very well made, and a generous amount. The vegetable pasta was cooked to perfection. The char on the ribeye really was made by a person who is proud of their work. There are stand up comedy shows at this location and we can not wait to visit again.

    Very good food and impeccable service. The owners are there making sure everything is running smoothly. It is very loud, however, so don't expect to have much in the way of significant conversation. We went on a night when they had stand-up comedians. Note: they automatically add a 20% service charge to the bill.

    Okay first of I am Italian so I am always super critical of Italian restaurants. My husband and I went on a date night here at 8:30pm one night. It was mostly empty which was nice to have the place to ourselves. The bread they brought out was stale. The food we ordered was not very good at all. I hate writing a negative review but it just wasnโ€™t good Italian food. The sauce on my husbandโ€™s chicken tasted like canned gravy. My eggplant parm was soggy. We skipped out on dessert because it was priced at $10 per item and with the meals not tasting good we didnโ€™t want to chance the dessert. The server and staff were nice.

    We made a reservation for three Saturday night, came in and were sat. Served water, bread and handed menus and then sat there for over 20 minutes. No one came back to take our order. The restaurant was not busy and plenty of employees including the manager walked by our table. I canโ€™t give a review on the food because we didnโ€™t make it that far into the experience. We left and went to another local Italian restaurant which provided excellent service and good food.

    As you can see from the pictures it looks great. The service was very good but the food was sub par at best. All of the sauces from each plate were very liquid. Maybe it was because it was father's day and early in the afternoon but even my kids found it pretty bad. So we ask for the check and left. To bad it really was a nice place.

    My family and I ( group of 20) celebrated our dad's 80th birthday at Toscano restaurant and everything was fantastic, our servers were great, especially Lorenzo. The owner greets us and checked on us often to make sure that we were satisfied. It was a warm and pleasant atmosphere (food, drinks and music were wonderful). I would definitely go back and recommend this restaurant. Thank you for making our dad's 80th birthday a memorable day.

    The food here is exceptional and not super expensive; but I will never agree to adding tip (especially at 20%) to a party of 8 or less. A tip is a compliment and should not be what you decide - my personal opinion.

  • 5/5 Rozina H. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is a hidden gem in Pembroke Pines! We came across this place about 5-6 years ago and since than we have become regulars here! The food here is so absolutely delicious that even our VERY picky 4 year old loves to eat here! The owners take so much pride in this place and it definitely shows. Mario is always greeting everyone himself and knows everyone by their names. We have introduced so many of our friends to this place and needless to say, they have all become regulars here as well. We love the chicken parmigiana, salmon in lobster sauce, penne alavodka, and spicy shrimps. Everything here os always delish!

    Planning a birthday dinner and was recommended this place. Boy am I glad. I couldn't have picked a better place from the food, ambiance and attentiveness from Andres and his staff. The guests loved it so much some have went back since. Hands down one of my favorite restaurants in south Florida

    Really nice place for a quiet dining experience. White tablecloths, soft lighting, and friendly staff. I will definitely be coming back. The food is good, not great, but overall experience still makes us look forward to coming back and trying other menu items. Family and large party friendly.

    We have been wanting to try this place for a while and finally did. While it was my first time at Il Toscano, I am very familiar with the location; it used to be a French cafe/restaurant/bakery, and I had been there a few times. The plaza is pretty far west on Pines Blvd, so it is calm and not heavily visited - great for a pleasant eating experience, though probably not so great for a restaurant's profits. The restaurant has a cute terrace with seating, which is where we sat; it is very refreshing and pleasing to sit here on a dry, cool evening. The inside is very spacious and aesthetically pleasing as well. It is traditional and classy in decor. The waitress who served us was very friendly and helpful with suggestions, though there were some long stretches in which we were left alone outside for too long, without any staff coming by to assist us. It was not a busy night. The food was pricey, but not remarkable. It was good, just not good enough to justify the price on entrees. Dessert was great though, but wow, such large portions! We would not place it high on the list of places to re-visit, but it is a decent place, and we may check it out again when the weather is cool, as we really like the location. They also host comedy events periodically. We have never been, but it may be worth checking out. It is a good way for the restaurant to contribute to the vibrancy of the West Pines community and get some more business too.

    Got my customers a gift card as a closing gift that just relocated and purchased a home nearby. A colleague highly recommended it and my customers were very pleased and look forward to returning. I'll be there soon myself and always support small local businesses! Give it a try as you won't be disappointed!

  • 5/5 Seeking S. 2 years ago on Google
    We love this place! Always excellent service and food- we always feel very attended to. Very familial each time we go. The soups are amazing and I usually get the manicotti with shrimp...yum. they have live music some night of the week and they do get busy sometimes but ive never had to wait for a table so keep that in mind. Highly recommend :)

    Great for large groups. We were a group of 16 for my grandmother's birthday. Very efficient and attentive staff. The food was delicious! Prices seem a little on the higher side but the portions are very generous!
