Reviews for Toscana Italian Chophouse & Wine Bar in Portsmouth, NH

Food was 5 stars. Grill plate and the truffle tag pasta was incredible (add sausage to the pasta you won't regret it). Our... waitress was good and talkative. However they didn't fill my water. Other than that was excellent. Read more

Ordered waigu steak and lobster tail. Steak was cooked perfectly and was probably on of the most delicious steaks I've ever had.... Excellent service, Ed was top notch. Live music was a huge draw for me. Cheesecake for dessert was amazing. Overall anexcellent experience. You won't go wrong. Read more

The food at Toscana is good for Portsmouth. It’s on the fancier side with lots of American/Italian options. I didn’t give... this place 5 stars because some dishes were very salty. The ambiance was nice and staff were very polite too! Read more

Our view of the clock tower was amazing. The ribeye was cooked beautifully and the gorgonzola butter was absolutely incredible.... Beef carpacio was a great app and was really shaved thin and tasty. Only criticism is that getting to the bathroom is a bit ofan adventure. But food and service are exceptional. Read more

7/2/2022 - Last evening was our first visit to the restaurant. We were greeted at the door and escorted to a table by the very... friendly hostess. Our server, Spencer, introduced himself and immediately told a little history of the restaurant whileanswering our questions about food choices and beverages. He was delightful, knowledgeable and funny. There were 4 of us in ourparty; and the breads, the appetizers, the meals were outstanding, and the desserts were scrumptious Spencer continually checkedin with us asking if we were enjoying our food and if we needed anything additional. When I asked where the restrooms were,Spencer escorted me to the hallway and gave me directions. This was truly a great dining experience and we look forward toreturning to the restaurant. Thank you so much! Read more

Service was attentive, food was inedible after waiting 2.5 hours for our meals. Steak was cold - sandwich in picture was brought... to table that way - burger was cold, and not good. They rolled out a new menu and said they were still working out kinks. Ittakes a lot to get all of us in one place, and to ruin Father’s Day lunch for 4 dads… Manager comped the food (that wedidn’t eat anyway) - we paid for drinks. Left hungry and $180 lighter for drinks (and tip for server - not his fault). Read more

Incredible - amazing space, no detailed unattended to, service was on point, very festive atmosphere, beautiful decor. Specialty... drinks are a must try, we had Blood Orange margarita and pear with vodka (forgot names). Wine selection is endless. On to thefood: it’s impossible to find a steak outside of Boston this good. I’m always searching, trust me. I got the sirloinmid-rare with bernaise sauce. My wife had the haddock - I tried it and gave her a wide-eye look. It was amazing. All componentssang. It was a home run. The bread can’t go unmentioned - insanely good. We had the buratta appetizer. Very good, if any knowit was a little too firm on bottom. That’s looking for issues. Sides we had were marscapone mashed and creamed spinach. Bothwere quality choices. Spinach could have been seasoned a little more (maybe nutmeg). All in all it was a phenomenal experienceand we will be back. Kudos to the chef! All my pics did not come out but here are a few. Try it. Read more

Had dinner for the first time at Tuscana. Mixed feelings about our experience. Overall the food was great. My husband's lamb... was very tasty, although he did order medium and it was clearly rare as you can see by the photos. The prices are fairly high,but the atmosphere is more like a pub. There's a bar in the center of the restaurant with TV going, staff are wearing jeans.It's a cool pub atmosphere, but the prices are more in keeping with an upscale restaurant, not a pub. Service was friendly butnot attentive. We sat a great deal of time between courses, waiting for our waitstaff to ask us if we wanted another drink, orif there was something she could get us, etc. Food was fresh and tasted great, it's just the prices seem too high for theatmosphere.
