Tuscany is one of the best restaurants I have ever visited. The service is excellent, the food is great and the staff is nothing short of terrific. They all do their jobs very well and are the nicest people in the world. In fact, I was so impressed that last year I recommend to my brother we have a surprise 80th birthday party for my mother there. We did just that February 22, 2025 and it was nothing short of phenomenal. I was very impressed with the great job the staff did during the party. They helped make the party the great time it was. If you are ever in the Brick, New Jersey area, definitely stop into Tuscany. You will be served a great meal by some truly great people.

We took a chance here on Valentine’s Day without reservation as our original destination area was blocked because of an accident. They had seating available for walk ins despite being pretty full. Best decision made. Food was very good and hot! Salad and bread are included which is a plus these days. Will definitely go back.

Last minute choice. Very cozy and somewhat romantic. Service was excellent, ordered two pasta dishes. Needed salt and seasoning but brought home for meal later on in the week. Portions were generous. Soup and salad were average. Will go back.

Nice ambiance, our waitress was really nice. We ordered the Onion Soup, the Black Bean soup, and the Pasticho rolls for starters. Absolutely delicious!! The Cheese Ravioli, Classic Fried Shrimp, Classic Broiled Shrimp, Sea Scallops, and the Mama Maria for the main course. All well cooked and nicely prepared. We also ordered the Chocolate Dynamite and Carrot Cake for dessert. The food was very tasty. I only have one comment, and that's about the Scallops-- I felt they were cooked well but weren't seasoned.

Food was really good. Flavorful dark French onion soup. I got the Parmesan crusted chicken with risotto and asparagus. Delicious. My partner got the seafood combo. It has a different name but it’s essentially the same thing. The scallops were divine. The green beans were delicious and garlicky. We’ll be returning if we’re ever in the area again.

I dined at Tuscany 2 nights ago. What an impressive experience. The place was very busy for a Wednesday night...which was a good sign. We took a table in the bar area to avoid a wait. The atmosphere was just fine. Then everything was perfect from that point on. Our server was attentive and friendly. The cocktails were excellent, then from the Appetizers to the dinner...everything was delicious and the portions were generous and pricing was on point. I would highly recommend this place and will be back again soon.

On site free parking. Staff was very friendly. Reservations were made, but we had to wait about 15-20 mins for our table, slightly disappointed by this. The place itself is outdated. The food was mediocre, and surprisingly lacking flavor like other reviews have stated. This was slightly a step above olive garden. The bread was good. Crisp fried calamari was good, but not "crisp". The breading lacked flavor and was not at all crisp, however the calamari wasn't over cooked by any means---which most places over cook it, to get thr crispy outside--it was really good, but not "crisp". The pear and goat cheese crustini was the best item of the night. The bread was delish and not too hard. The combo of goat cheese, honey, pear...it was really good. Lobster ravioli was ok. There was so much sauce on the plate u couldn't see the ravioli. The sauce was on the bland side, needed salt desperately. There was about 4/5 pieces of over cooked shrimp and the ravioli was flat, with barely any lobster. My husband's steak was ok. Lacking flavor. Cheesecake was average. We were glad we tried the place, not sure we would return. For the price, the flavor just wasn't there.
