Customer Review Summary
The black pudding starter draws the most attention, praised by several diners for its flavor and portion size, though one reviewer found it stodgy with an overpowering peppercorn sauce and no garnish. Close behind, the king prawn linguine and garlic bread earn repeat praise, alongside a midweek offer described as good value. Servers are repeatedly singled out by name as attentive and quick, with drink and food orders taken within minutes even during a busy 11 person anniversary booking where a fussy eater was offered an alternative soup option. A few note weaker points: homemade chips that weren't the best, a cocktail missing its passion fruit, and one visit where the beer arrived unchilled and staff seemed inattentive after food was served. One diner separately disputes an added 10% service charge on a large bill, calling it undisclosed on the menu. Most describe the atmosphere as cosy and the pasta and pizza as good.

“Had a fab evening at Toscana. The food was very good. The Garlic bread was gorgeous - and they did a half and half option too. All the starters were 10/10. Our Mains were also lovely and the service was excellent. I didn't get our waiter's name sorry - in the photo - but he was brilliant. Will definitely be back and highly recommend.”

“Toscana is a great little restaurant. The staff are very friendly, the food is amazing and the price is very reasonable. I visit fairly regularly now and always take family or friends when they visit!”

“Food bland Zero Flavour And then at the end they add a compulsory service charge of 10% ontop of a 300 pound bill. Now by British law it is compulsory for a restaurant to state that there is a compulsory service charge on the menu and guess what zero mention. So this is against the law. Wont be going back here. Even if the compulsory charge was not added the food was not worth going back.”

“Bland & Disappointing! Started off great, we were welcomed in and seated immediately. We were given menus and had the specials read to us then we ordered drinks whilst reading the menu. The place is really nice, very nicely decorated, It was clean and tidy. The smell of the food coming from the kitchen smelt amazing! At this point it was going to be the best part of the night sadly. I ordered the Spanish larger and my wife a pornstar martini. I was told that the beer I ordered hadn't been chilled so I had to settle for the greek larger which to me was still not as chilled as it should have been. It took around 10 minutes for my wife's drink to arrive, I'm no conisour on cocktails but I'm sure it was meant to have passion fruit in it and not 2 tiny raspberries?! So after finally getting our drinks and we ordered our food. We ordered the black pudding starter, spaghetti carbonara and a chicken skewer with veg and chips. Within 5 minutes the starter was on the table, super quick. After tasting the starter we came to the agreement that the peppercorn sauce was overpowered with pepper, you couldn't taste anything else as it burnt your mouth, the black pudding was too stodgy and needed cooking longer and there was no garnish with it. A little side salad would have been great. Over all there was no flavour to it just overpowering pepper. Once they had taken that away our mains arrived a few minutes later, 10/10 for speed. The spaghetti carbonara, bland to say the least. Hardly any cream used, the pasta was borderline under cooked, the "ham/bacon" (whatever it was supposed to be) was like rubber and the flavour had run of with the slice passion fruit. Wasn't even offered any parmesan for it?! The chicken and vegetable skewer. Well the chicken was ok, cooked really well but yet again, no flavour to it it was just so bland. And for the vegetables....what vegetables!? I got a slither of onion and 2 slices of mushy courgette. Chips were just homemade chips, could have used another 5 minutes in the pan or maybe burn them then I would have experienced at least some flavour. Service left a lot to be desired, once we were seated and food had been ordered we were just left there. Not once did anyone come over asking if the food was nice or did we want another drink. They are only interested in new customers coming in or if you're OTT and shout for them. If you want a good night out, with great food and drink, amazing service and atmosphere don't come here go to Casa Nostra on church st in Westhoughton.”
