Reviews for Tuscan Kitchen Salem in Salem, NH
We planned a baby shower for my daughter and son in-law at Tuscan Kitchen. We were so happy with the entire event. The Tuscan... family went above and beyond in order to make the celebration a great success. Starting with Amanda who was very helpful in theplanning stages allowing me to envision how the room would look and how everything would be placed, along with reviewing andrecommending food options. The wait staff was very attentive as soon as we walked in until the last person walked out the door. They accommodated us with anything that we needed. We chose the breakfast buffet and everyone raved about how fabulous thefood was. All of our guests commented about the amenities, the food, and the service and were so glad that they came tocelebrate with Renee and Michael. I am so happy that we chose your venue. My daughter and her husband were very grateful forall the hard work that everyone contributed. Read more
So I'll start off with the food was great and the staff was friendly. However upon walking in waited 5-10 minutes before the... hostess greated us, as I watched her engaged in conversation prior to coming over. Then sat at the bar and waited maybe 20minutes for a canned beer. Which they Compensated, again great food and staff. Food took what felt like forever to come out.All in all, I'd get take out there however wouldn't dine in. Read more
My wife and I ate dinner at Tuscan Kitchen. The service was excellent, attentive, but not hovering. The food was somewhat... disappointing. I ordered the Salmone Alla Griglia with my salmon cooked medium rather than TK's typical medium rare. It arrivedperfectly cooked to medium. Other than that there was nothing special about it. My roasted sweet potatoes were overdone bags ofmush and the asparagus was completely limp and had a few pieces that had not been properly trimmed of their fibrous bottomparts. Asparagus is such a delicate vegetable, it needs very little time on the grill to cook. I also ordered the calamariappetizer. It was excellent and some of the best I have eaten. It was lightly breaded, perfectly prepared, and tasted as if itwas fresh from the sea. A black coffee after my meal was full bodied and delicious. Also excellent! My wife ordered the CaesarSalad with shrimp which she enjoyed. Her shrimp were lightly cooked, tender and delicious. She also enjoyed caramel bruleedessert. So why only 3 stars? For one, the over cooked vegetables with my Salmon. I also thought the wine prices were a bitoverpriced for wine that was good, but not special. They are easily $2 to $4 over what other restaurants charge for the samequality of wine. Lastly, the bathrooms were terrible. The trash was overflowing onto the floor in the mens room and my wifedescribed the ladies room as "disgusting". They were obviously not getting the attention they needed for a three dollar signrated restaurant. I do not enjoy giving TK only 3 stars. We sat at the pasta bar and watched the hard working appetizer chefsmaking Burrata Casa and other plates, straining the mozzarello curds and creating the cheese burrata by hand. They are artists!And the grill manager was on top of the orders making certain food went out hot to the diners. But sometimes the managers andchefs need to eat some of the food they are preparing to check the flavors and textures to make certain that what the Read more
Went there for our anniversary and had a wonderful dinner. Hubby got filet mignon and it was a generous size and cooked to... perfection. I got the lobster ravioli and it was amazing. We started with the mozzarella and it was so fresh and delicious! Igot the cheesecake for dessert and it was scrumptious. Hubby got the tiramisu and let me try a bite, if I wasn't stuffed I wouldhave stolen it from him, it was so good! Our server Hailey was attentive and friendly and made great suggestions for ourcocktails, which were also stellar. It was expensive (for us) but worth every penny, it was the best dinner out for us in a longtime. Read more
Came to Tuscan kitchen on a Sunday night for a late dinner. We were unfortunately those people who showed up at 8:37pm when they... closed at 9 but they still sat us at a high top in the bar area. Table was comfy, restaurant was empty, TVs on with the celtsgame playing. There’s outdoor seating. The bathrooms are a trip down the stairs and a hallway. Put out order in quicklybecause we knew what we wanted. Onion bread and olive oil came to the table while we waited for our meals. I got the Toscanasalad no ricotta, can’t wait until I can eat cheese again because it would definitely compliment this salad. I also got a sideof brown butter sage sweet potato, amazing! Read more
6 pieces of ravioli that doesn't fill a plate with no side. Bread was still partially frozen and dry with plain oil barely any... flavor. Way over priced for the food here. Atmosphere was all they had going for them. Will not eat here again. Read more
Cute atmosphere. Cute date night spot. The food is just okay. There's nothing that stands out unfortunately. I am 100% Italian... first generation and the flavors unfortunately miss for me. The desserts do not taste authentic. Very small portions, prices area bit high. Staff is very friendly Read more
