Toscano Harvard Square Cambridge Reviews
While the ambiance was lovely and the service was
While the ambiance was lovely and the service was excellent, the food was disappointing. Six of us dined: 2 had pasta with red sauce that was just okay, seafood risotto had small fish lacking variety, 2 mushroom risotto were okay, but the veal dish c

We like the food, but the last few times we have been there; the service from the bartenders has been terrible. Apparently, there are a LOT of regulars, so the bartenders spend a lot of time shooting the breeze and catching up with customers. So muc

Ordered pappardelle bolognese bianco, - was delicious, and near to al-dente , at least not overcooked as in other Italian places. Wife got pasta with shellfish - also delicious. Complementary bread and butter. We didn't try alcohol. I would

We celebrated a very beautiful family occasion in the private room at Toscano's and it was absolutely wonderful. We worked with Toscano staff to design a menu that provided plenty of options for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. The food w
Pizza was awful.
I should have read the reviews, going back 10 years. Surprised that they don't seem to care about customer feedback, they just keep making the same terrible pizza year after year, soggy cornmeal cracker crust, tasteless watery tomato sauce. Be

Was so excited to have an Italian restaurant nearby but fell short. Basket of bread was sad, and pastas were ok. It's nice with the windows but I'd rather commute to the north end or somewhere better
There are far better options - truly poor food (I don't think they care)
We're foodies, local to Cambridge and have visited for lunch in the past. The service was perfectly good but the food was truly poor - I'd put it at "school cafeteria quality. We had some tomato based appetizers and the tomatoes were

The manager made us feel unwelcome and blamed us for something that wasn't our fault. Pro tip: don't accuse your customers of your own mistakes. We won't be back!

The food here never seems to rise above the ordinary! When I order something and I can make it as well as the restaurant it is a poor sign of the quality of cooking here! If you love food Toscano in Cambridge is not for you!!
Good, not great
Our experience was similar to the other times we have dined here: everything was at least good, some things were very good, nothing was outstanding. Prosciutto e melone: mostly melon, not as tender as it should be. Carpaccio OK. Risottos tasty, but p
Overall good, but not excited
Average food. Had oysters, which were not fully cleaned(still had bots of shell in it), cod was not salted at all and the crust on a pie was very thick. Apricot jam that was in it was very, very sweet, so the vanilla ice cream was a good combination

OMG. This is where we had dinner our first night in Boston and it set the bar sky high for the rest of our trip. Every meal after this one was compared back to the amazing food and service that we had here. They were extremely welcoming and accommoda

First, for their vegetable pizza, it was not the best for 20$. It looked cold and was not as good. I could get a pizza thats way better than that for cheaper. Second when we paid for our food, me and my friends split the bill by three but the waiter
Our Go-To Place in Harvard Square
Large traditional Italian menu, excellent quality, moderate prices, courteous service: what more can you ask. My only complaint was that my Old Fashioned cocktail was skimpy.
I wouldn’t return
Food was just ok. Pizza was undercooked and didn’t have any flavor. My son enjoyed his Bolognese and I had a bite but again. Bland for such an expensive dish. The restaurant itself is very pretty and nice staff but overall not worth the price at al
Skip it, there’s better
We met up with friends from out of state and Toscano is the restaurant that they wanted to go to. We would never patronize this restaurant again on our own (without friends saying they really wanted to go there). I had the scallops with leeks and s
Nothing special
We have been here before This time was a great disappointment The first course Melanzane was fine The Sole fish was like fish and chips in cheap restaurant not a dish for 34 dollars in a respectable restaurant s The spaghetti with seafood and the
Good food
We ate here one night during a swim meet trip to Harvard. The girls wanted something a little nicer for dinner. We walked over from out hotel and were pleasantly surprised. We all enjoyed our dinners. We ordered the Rigatoni Toscano, Pappardelle Bolo
The restaurant itself is beautiful, .
.. a great location, clean and classy. They have windows that open to the street and just has a nice vibe. 5 stars for ambience. The food was just Ok. The best dish we had was the grilled squid, although we had a much better version in the North
Upscale Italian place by Harvard Sq.
The food is pretty good. I especially like the pappardelle and my friend likes the pizzas. Their shrimps are also giant. The service is always formal and polite, and the restaurant is less likely to be busy than other similar places around the square
The service was impeccable.
Finally a server with the finesse and grace to answer the questions you ask with helpful information catered to what you asked. The food was prepared perfectly. My wife's salmon was tender, juicy, and fully cooked without being dry. My pasta and riso
Food was not good.
They put a lot of vinegar to salad and I can't eat it. Stake was also very dry and overhited. One good thing, they removed stake and salad from the bill.
Excellent Italian food.
Service is excellent. Wine selection very good. My daughter is Vegan and made her a very good ziti aglio olio with spinach and garlic. Pasta is delicious. Great desserts. Best Italian food in the area.
A Neighborhood Favorite
Okay, so I've been here dozens of times pre- and post-pandemic. Overall, I really like it. Does the kitchen very occasionally have an off day? Yes. But overall the food ranges from consistently good to superb. The service is usually great, but s

Came for Dine Out Boston! Their lunch menu was a good deal at $36 since normal entrees are already around $30. Pasta and desserts were the best parts of the meal. Good service and upscale casual environment. * Apps: salmone affumicato, panzanella sal

Service was slightly dismissive and rushed, obviously this guy had worked in restaurants a long time. Martini was serviceable, wine selection was decent. The real failing was the entrees. Nothing was made with care. The pizza had too much sauce a

Nice ambience for a Friday night catch-up dinner with girlfriends. Beet salad was not memorable. Orecchiette dish also not memorable. Service was excellent.

This place is great for the indecisive and for people that like to try as many things as possible. I've never been to an Italian restaurant where they could do 50/50 on two pastas! The food was so tasty and you could taste the freshness of the ingre
Excellent sword fish with grilled vegetables ( lunch $32).
Smooth, polite, and professional service. Elegant decor,linen table clothes. Just a nice place. Waiter mentioned 2 daily specials (one sounded wonderful) but did NOT tell us the $- so in principle I didn't order.
Not bad - I liked the dressy/quiet atmosphere where you can
Not bad - I liked the dressy/quiet atmosphere where you can actually hear the person from across the table. It's a solid place for a sit-down lunch or dinner in the Harvard area, plus relatively abundant street parking. Food-wise, the spaghetti pom
Staff were friendly, service decent.
Food was expensive and really not worth the money, even at half the price. Person eating dinner with me said their pasta would have been better if they made at home from a can of sauce, and their pasta was way over cooked. My pizza wasn't actually pi
First time.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Toscano Harvard Square Cambridge at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Toscano Harvard Square Cambridge page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Toscano Harvard Square Cambridge to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Toscano Harvard Square Cambridge!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
