Toscana is a lively restaurant just west of the congested Temple Bar area. We arrived without reservations on a Thursday evening and received one of the last open tables, seated by a somewhat grumpy maitre d’. The crowd seemed local, a good sign. It’s an...attractive space but noisy; it was difficult to hear conversations from across the table until the high-decibel crowd thinned out. We were served by a variety of wait staff who in contrast to the maitre d’ were friendly.
I ordered the vegetarian lasagna (19.95 €, served with a house salad) which was delicious. My partner was pleased with his cannelloni carne (a generous portion, 20.95 €). With two beers, the tab was only 55 €.
Dining here is not an elegant experience but it’s a great stop for a casual dinner.More
