I just wanted to say what a great experience we had at Toscana Cafe earlier this week. We had a group of 17 and from start to finish we couldn't have asked for better treatment. The staff checked in with us the day before, we were given our choice of seating areas, the service was fantastic and the food was unbelievable. We'll definitely be dining there again! Thanks for a wonderful evening!
I really enjoyed the dinner at Toscana. We made reservations for outside but it was raining so we decided to sit upstairs. The server was friendly and explained the options well. We had happy hour sangría and while strong it was still good. The pasta dishes were hot and satisfying. The place doesn't seem like a 5 star restaurant but that's not what they are going for. The neighborhood feel is a welcome respite from the less colorful establishments that are popular in DC.
We made reservations for 8. We showed up early....tour was done.... and they were ready for us!! We sat up stairs in the air conditioned area, the service was fantastic and our server, from El Salvador!!, was as cute as can be. The food was fantastic and the price was right! If you are near the union station it is just 0.2 miles away!! This is a gem of a place and the staff was awesome!!! Highly recommend!!!

Be prepared to eat! We'd seen Toscana on a previous visit to Ebenezer's across the street and filed it away as a "maybe". The next time we were in the area, we looked over the menu, but were still unsure and ended up giving it a chance. We were pleasantly surprised by a friendly and attentive staff, delicious starters and the entrees were very healthy-sized portions, not quite family size, but if you don't have a huge appetite, I'd still consider sharing a dish with someone or else you'll have leftovers to take home. The pasta tasted fresh, the sauces full of flavor, the house made sangria was wonderful. I couldn't eat here every night, but next time I'm near Union Station and have some time, I'll definitely stop by.
Near union station smaller restaurant with some decent pasta. I enjoyed the lobster ravioli in a pink sauce. Flavored well with a decent portion of raviolis. Wine and beer available as well. Restaurant was relatively quiet so you can talk to others at the table without yelling.
