"The staff greeted us warmly, and we were seated right away. Service was excellent—attentive yet unobtrusive. Our meal began with complimentary fresh bread served with a delightful mix of olive oil, garlic, and herbs. Since it was our first visit, we decided to explore some appetizers. We ordered the calamari and the fried cheese with zucchini. The calamari was plentiful and came drizzled in a fantastic white wine butter mushroom sauce. We even ordered a second basket of bread to savor the remaining sauce! The fried cheese and zucchini were served piping hot, accompanied by marinara and ranch dressing for dipping. Both appetizers were fantastic!
For our main courses, we shared the Shrimp Portofino, Redfish Portofino, and Veal Marsala. All dishes arrived hot, the portion sizes were generous, and both the fish and veal were incredibly fresh. They were skillfully prepared and beautifully presented. We enjoyed a bottle of Justin Cabernet with our meal, which was a great deal at half price for bottles of wine on Wednesdays!
To cap off our dining experience, we chose the Basque-style cheesecake for dessert, topped with candied pecans, hot honey, and bourbon sauce. It was the perfect finishing touch to a wonderful meal. In a word, the overall dining experience was... stupendous! (That's Italian for amazing!)
Although we chose to dine in the main area, we took a moment to check out the bar section on our way out. It looked well organized and inviting, and we’re eager to try it next time. I highly recommend Toscano—make sure to visit the next time you're in the Cedar Park, TX area!"
