Toscani’s always, without fail, delivers a satisfying and inexpensive dining experience. At Toscani’s the menu is vast and fully of variety, so if you can’t find what something to whet your appetite then look harder! As you’d expect, the staff create a warm and hospitable environment. It’s the perfect place for a lazy, after work meal; or for a date with that special someone. Go forth and enjoy!

Met a mate here for dinner because it was in a really easy to find location next to the railway station. The menu looked promising and the prices were good too. Maybe I should have been a bit concerned that it was a lot emptier than other nearby restaurants but we jumped in anyway. I hadn’t had a good, simple, spag bol in a long time so I ordered that and my mate got a burger. I was immediately concerned when my spag bol appeared about 3 mins after I’d ordered it. I’m a fan of quick service but when its that quick its either sat there too long or its been microwaved. Mine tasted microwaved. It was as if they’d nuked it and all the ice had turned to water which was sloshing about the corners of the plate. I loaded it up with parmesan and salt but sadly the flavour couldn’t be resuscitated. The burger looked a much better choice! The other reason I’m only giving it 2 stars is that even though it was relatively empty I almost had to do cartwheels to get the attention of their staff. Shame because its in a good location and has a lot of potential!

Only grabbed a quick latte before lunch. Nice and spacious with a light airy feel. The coffee I had tasted good but certainly wasn’t strong enough for my liking. The staff were very helpful and friendly providing a fast and efficient service. Just need a little more kick in my cup of joe next time.

I never thought Toscani’s counted as one of my favourite restaurants — but I came to the realisation I met with four people in two weeks — so something was bringing me back! I cannot speak highly enough of the staff at Toscani’s — always patient when you can’t decide what to order and always so friendly! The food and drinks always come out super fast and the quality is always good. The $ 19.95 steak meals they have are great — the serving sizes are so generous and I can rarely finish my meal! The food has enough variety that it makes it a place where you can go when everyone wants something different.

After a long, and frankly, exhausting day shopping at the enormous Parramatta Westfield, my friend and I realised just how starving we really were. Close to the train station was Toscani’s Parramatta restaurant, a blessing in disguise. All we wanted was something filling, inexpensive and comfortable — and at Toscani’s it was exactly what we got. The service was friendly and the waitress we had was the chatty sort, so we got along really well. My friend and I both ordered the same chicken burger with chips — I went to the bathroom to wash my hands — and presto! our food was already out on the table. The burger was exactly what we were after and we were full in no time. It cost us about $ 15 for the plate, which is pretty average, so I thought was worth it for the speediness of it all.

The ambience here is excellent. Even though it can get a bit loud and rambunctious come dinner time, the soft lighting and bubbly waitstaff make it all better. Although let it be said, that their dinner menu is considerably pricier than their lunch menu. Pricier, but also better. I tried the Chicken Toscani’s(a main course dish), which cost me little under $ 28, but was worth it, when coupled with the crème brûlée. The lunch menu is a lot easier on my wallet, but consists primarily of burgers and pastas. Don’t get me wrong, the pasta is excellent, but the selection on offer isn’t quite as comprehensive as the dinner menu. Though lunchtime is considerably quieter, so weigh your pros and cons and head on down there at whatever time you wish!
