165 Main St E, Milton, ON L9T 1N7, Canada
Upscale Italian eatery with an oyster & martini bar in a 19th-century building with outdoor seating.
The staff is so wonderful and very kindly accommodated my group that walked in without a reservation during a fairly busy night. The food was amazing and the experience was wonderful. The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back another night!
Honestly a great place. Food was Excellent. Great list of specials which changes almost nightly. Service was top notch. The gentleman (and i use that descriptor in a genuine manner) who served our group was polite, funny, well-spoken and knew his craft. The restaurant itself is beautiful with decor reminiscent of the kind of dining hall found in middle-age English castles (exposed stonework walls, wrought iron fixtures, beautiful hardwood floors etc. The place isn't cheap for dinner but the quality of food is worth it. I want to note here, in hindsight, that because of a miscalculation on it part we may have slightly undertipped our generous server. I am motivated to return with my wallet simply to settle my mind. Would absolutely go back to La Toscana.
Celebrating my 65th was a lovely experience at this restaurant in Milton Ontario. We Started with a delicious Caesar salad, a caprese salad and hubby had the house special soup which was pea soup. All were delicious. Main courses were Rack of lamb done to perfection with a side of pasta with olio sauce. Daughter had the linguini Pescatore which was loaded with mussels, clams, calamari, shrimp,, scallops in a tomato sauce. Also delicious. Hubby had the spaghetti Arrabiatta with a grilled Italian sausage. It normally is served with rigatoni but he preferred spaghetti and they kindly obliged. Birthday dessert was fresh fruit peaches with icecream and an espresso. Everything was perfect and Alfredo our waiter was amazing. We weren’t rushed. Reserved a table by the window. Restaurant was packed for a Monday evening as it’s usually a slower day for restaurants. Ambience was romantic and comfortable. Also had a bottle of wine from their nice selection of wines. One of my favourite places for a lovely dinner for a special occasion.
If there were six stars, I would have given La Toscana all six. The food presentation was excellent, the taste was delicious, and the atmosphere transported me to wonderful times. It's a perfect spot for a sophisticated date night or for celebrating special occasions, family or friends gatherings in a chic and friendly ambiance. The hospitality was exceptional. This place has definitely earned a spot on my favorites list.
This place was delightful. The food there was divine. The service was incredible! The powder room was so clean, felt like a home bathroom. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND ‼️ Was there on 06/06/23
A cozy and intimate place in the heart of Milton, on Main Street. It is truly a gem waiting to be found. My first visit to this location. The service at this restaurant was top notch. Very attentive staff and the food was exquisite. At our table, from the New York sirloin steak to the salmon and the chicken selections, all dishes were well made. The dish presentations were well designed and pleasing to the eye. It has been a while since I had a an excellent steak and the way it was made, with a wine reduction sauce. From the wine selections to dessert, all the presentations were excellent and I do recommend this location for a romantic meal.
We visited for drinks one evening. The service and gentleman who looked after us was so amazing we went back the following evening ... for more drinks and desert! Can highly recommend the Cabernet Sauvignon! We ordered Tiramasu, the Chocolate and Raspberry ice cream, the New York Cheesecake and the Cheeseboard. Clean plates all round! We sat outside and were checked on frequently. Would highly recommend.
This is just great food and great service at it’s finest. I’m going to say it’s my absolute favourite restaurant! I can’t even find the words to truly describe what a hidden gem this place is. Let’s just say… “It’s a little taste of Heaven “….and Pasquale! Just Wow! He is exceptional. Oh! Please ask him to make you his Amaretto Sours! Off the chain! Hands down Best Amaretto Sours on the planet! Thank You La Toscano for always making me smile. 😊
This is our go to date night spot. Atmosphere is amazing. New server The grilled calamari was amazing. Food : 5/5
The food it s good but The customer service it s so rude I spent a lot of money in the restaurant for nothing I did not have a good day in this restaurant
The best restaurant in Milton. I am a long time resident and this is my favourite place to eat in town
Parking: Parking on main Street is tricky at busy times, but there are lots behind some of the businesses that are open and easy to utilize. Food
Really tasty food and lovely staff.
Horrible, Rude, Arrogant! Will never go back 0 recommendations ,
Everything was incredible! I wish we found this place sooner!
Always good.
Group event on Saturday. Service was a bit slow and then felt rushed to drink a cappuccino toward the end as we were way over our time limit. Otherwise food portions were decent and food tasted great.
Mussels were not fresh. Service was ok. However, I am not feeling welcomed. Wont go to this place again.
I loved this place Smaller place but they make sure to take care of you from the minute you walk in! food is delicious Oysters are very good
Very intimate place quiet and the food taste fresh but the calamari was a bit chewy. I liked the salad! Service was good too :)
Lack of menu options. Presentation was weak Found the food very bland Food : 1/5
The food was delicious, and the service was on point. Love the old world feel of the atmosphere!
Over the years its gone down hill. When you order med rare lamb and it comes well ,extremely disappointing,if I wasnt taken out i would have had a remake. 2 Birthdays and not even a comped dessert with 6. Getting on the down side. Mussels appetizer not worth ordering, tomato paste base and salty, no flavor and 3 of my Mussels were funky. Dishes are now very weak and skimpy. As 6 did not order alcohol, no one came once to see if our orders we fine. Horrible customer service
Visiting from the States! A jewel in downtown Milton.
First time and probably not the last a perfect evening for us! A special Thanks to our awesome waiter Antonio, who made our evening even that more special .
The atmosphere was warm, service friendly and the meal was delicious. Lovely tiramisu!
Service horrible. Food worse. Stay away, everything was overcooked and cold. Go to Casa Americao across the street.
Great steak and oysters and service
Excellent and delicious taste. Salmon fish and cheese cake are must try.
Another fantastic meal, staff and service are amazing, food is delicious, and great wine list.
Service was good Food average , franchise style Set menu for my daughter s birthday No choice for the people that chose steak, medium only Coffee never arrived Not a place I would go for a special occasion Parking: Park on Main Street
Absolutely amazing !
My husband and I went to this restaurant on Monday for our anniversary. My sister reserved this place for us, and it was so cute! The food was amazing!!! And the service was even better. They were so caring and making sure all was well. Highly recommend this place to anyone, and also, Ill definitely be back again soon with my family :)
Very polite and friendly staff. Had a great time and enjoyed the food very much.
Very friendly staff and delicious food!
Friends and fellow foodies...great food, great people, great atmosphere. Very much enjoyed
My date and I were out hiking all evening and didnt have time to change so we were dressed less than ideally for this venue but since Ive thoroughly enjoyed my experience in the past we thought wed give it a try. We greeted at the door and still offered to dine in at the bar. Food was prompt and wonderful done, service was attentive, and even though we were dressed as we were, they still .ade the night special.
Fantastic
Very good food. Traditional fare, not trendy. Loved the fellow who served us.
Great food and excellent service. I had the linguine pescatore, and it was very good.
One of our favourite Italian places in downtown Milton. Food is always amazing- oysters are always fresh, their specials offer a wide variety, their menu staples are always a delicious go to! Wide selection of wine, the staff are wonderful and friendly and the atmosphere is always inviting, definitely recommend! it does get busy, so probably recommend making reservations but they also do walk ins
Absolutely didn t live up to the hype. There are better options just across the street. But to each is own. Owner you need do better. Visit the tables and see that customers are having a good experience.
Wonderful dinner and service. They were also hosting 2 larger groups, one in each room, which didnt interfere with our excellent dining experience. Food
Lovely location, amazing food, great servers. 10/10 would come back again for all courses. ESPECIALLY the in house made semifreddo
Owner is super friendly, he came by our table to check on us multiple times throughout our evening. I had oysters and seafood linguine for dinner, semifreddo for dessert, everything was 10/10, atmosphere is very nice inside, amazing restaurant for a date, you won t be dissatisfied
Best Italian food in Milton
Great service, great food
Food was fantastic. Service was great. Would highly recommend if youre in the area.
I am Italian, so I am pretty picky about the food and I can say that in this place, you can find the actual original food receipts as you were in Italy. It s amazing when your expectations are satisfied, so I give to this place five stars for everything including the service in the atmosphere, which is typical warm, friendly, easy-going, Italian habits.
Pasquale and the rest of the staff are very attentive and make you welcome. I enjoy stopping in for Oysters and the linguine - my favourites!
Food was very good. It is expensive, but worth it. Food
Wonderful evening of superb food and service. Been here a long time and have always been excellent.
Absolutely a GEM in our city! Family owned. So much history and culture. The food is incredible! The atmosphere is one of a kind. Great wine selection. Beautiful place for dinner, to celebrate an occasion or just because . You can t go wrong dining here!
How can anyone not love Pasquale and Albert? They go above and beyond to make sure I am happy every single time I go. Food is fabulous and the restaurant has so much character.
Looking forward to coming back they seem to have a pretty good wine selection the food is quite nice.
La Toscana never disappoints! We thank you and your staff for creating a memorable staff Christmas experience for us year after year with delicious food and a fun private ambience. The food here is always superb and the staff are stellar.
Ordered our take out New Years dinner from La Toscana s ( Linda and Pasquale) . A seafood fest like none other. Thank you.
We had a wonderful team event here! Food was delicious and servers were fabulous.
Was really excited to try here so we decided to order takeout for my wife s birthday. We ordered the Bucatini bolognese, Margherita pizza, and the calamari fritti. The bolognese was nothing special for $29, the pizza was cold and bland. The calamari and bread was tasty. Was extremely disappointed with the food but the service was alright.
1st date wouldnt have gone so well without you all
Great food service and ambiance thank you
Cozy, beautiful and great food
We ordered the Linguine Pescatore, the 10 oz NY Sirloin in peppercorn sauce, Spaghetti Bolognese & Rack of Lamb in Thyme Demi Glaze crusted in dijon mustard bread with red wine rosemary. Both the steak and lamb were tender and cooked perfectly. The lamb was so tender that it was falling off the bone. The peppercorn sauce on the NY sirloin complemented the tenderness of the meat. Highly recommended and worth the trip to Milton if you are within the GTA.
We decided to dine there for Valentines given all the great reviews and let me tell you it was an experience. Service - Great overall but our water and wine glass were both chipped as I had to send back both times. Atmosphere - Not the greatest as it was so dark we could hardly even read the menu. The worst part was how cold the restaurant was as 50% of the guests were either still wearing their scarves/jackets. When I decided to say something I was told there are two heaters as that should keep everybody warm. Food - Amazing as it tasted delicious. Unfortunately I ate so fast because I wanted to keep warm and leave as fast as we got there. For my first and overall experience dining there was not my favorite and if I can advise dine there in the summer not winter as you will freeze.
Wonderful atmosphere. Fantastic service and truly delicious food. We had multiple kinds of oysters as well as the Halibut special and salmon from the menu. Dessert was lovely! We highly recommend this restaurant, especially for your special occasion.
Amazing food! Great and knowledgeable service! Cant wait to come back!
Fantastic, cozy restaurant!! Feels like old Montreal in Milton
I have been to all restaurants in Milton. La Toscana is the best Restaurant. Food is absolutely amazing and the service is exceptional!!!!
Food, menu, and service GREAT as always. Thanks Pasquale!
Good was delicious ambiance was nice, and the recommended wine pairs were on target. The oysters were amazing as well!
Delicious food arrived hot and beautifully presented. The dinning room has a warm and inviting atmosphere with its stine walls. Excellent service would definately return again !
I celebrated my nieces birthday on May 31st beautiful night night with family and great food and excellent service highly recommend!
Best lamb chops i have ever had hands down!! Very friendly host and staff.
Not a good experience. Slow service. Small portions. Waited about an hour just go get bread. It wasnt warm. It was cold cut
Incredible food, easily the best sea scallops I have ever had. A must eat location in downtown Milton.
Good ambiance and mood for dinner with your spouse. Probably wouldnt go here with my friends but for a more intimate dinner this is a fantastic place. Attentive staff with a nice menu.
Just a fabulous spot! This is our favourite restaurant in Milton. The staff are always so inviting. The food is authentic and excellent! You would think you are dining right in Italy. They offer a great menu and always offer some unique features, too! Highly recommend.
Everything i had here was amazing with fantastic service!!
Seriously this was one of the 3 best meals of my life! I had braised Bison....to die for!! This place will become a regular haunt for me. (In the description I admitted that I did spent over $100 per person but we shared a number of glasses of wine which always raises the bill... but so worth it)
This is one Restaurant, I would go even when I have to Drive half an hour from Home. The food, ambience, service and everything in between are excellent. Promptly greeted and seated on arrival. The place was almost full. The owner Pasquale greets every guest personally and again when we were leaving to make sure everything went well. I rarely do reviews, but this one I simply cannot avoid. Well Done.
Cozy great atmosphere friendly waiters
Nice Hidden Gem on the Main Street. Have been there twice & was impressed both times. Nice setup . Very Friendly waiter. They do have a lot of daily specials . Food is excellent. Dessert was excellent too. Pricing is Fair.
Great atmosphere and the staff were very friendly and personable. The food was simply amazing. The pumpkin soup....heaven in a bowl. We will be back.
Such a fantastic restaurant. Been in Milton for decades, La Toscana always provides a 5 star meal in an upscale environment. The owner is fantastic and personable, all his staff are kind and helpful. They have daily fresh oyster options which are to die for. Any dish here with veal is phenomenal. You certainly wont be disappointed here.
Very nice meal with friends. Great historic atmosphere. Food was visually appealing and super tasty. I loved the lamb shank personally and the escargot app was picture worthy but we didnt take one.
Beautiful setting, great service and delicious food. Love their creme Brule, oysters, calamari and lattes.
Very hospitable and food was excellent. Will definitely be vising again.
the oysters are magical.
Service was excellent, rosie went out of her way to make us feel welcomed and it was appreciated. Food was fantastic, highly recommend this place. Patio was also super cozy.
This is an absolutely delightful restaurant. Wonderful ambience and food. Well worth the drive.
Delicious food and great service! Not much more you can ask for.
Came across this gem yesterday. All I can say if you haven t visited them yet you need to. We ordered calamari, the seafood pasta, the red peppercorn salmon, lamb chops, shrimp and scallops dish, Bolognese pasta and everything was on point. The food was just amazing with every bite and not expensive at all for the quality. Staff was graceful and awesome.
Nice food, great service. We visited with a party of 8 and got a big table in the back. Nice wine list, and a good menu.
Nothing special.
Excellent service and food. Would definitely recommend.
Enjoyed a great business lunch here. Fantastic food.
Beautiful restaurant, delicious food, great service.
Wow! Food is simply delicious! Service impeccable and presentation of every plate is perfect. They have the finesse of European great restaurants. Highly recommended
Really good Italian food! Eggplant Parmesan one of the best ever
Just booked a private party of 25 people. Awesome food and amazing service. Thank you Pasquale for a great experience!!!
Excellent food & service.
High quality seafood and a great selection of wines. Sitting at the bar will land you some friendly chat too . The semifreddo was very good and there were some parking spots at the back of the restaurant
Definitely the best oysters anywhere. Been here many times and we absolutely love the food and atmosphere.
Cozy intimate ambiance, friendly service, Zoran was really pleasant. The eggplant parmesan was really good, the rest of the plates were good although not outstanding. We had a good experience overall. Recommended!
Food was fantastic! Service was excellent. The lady serving us would go out of her way to make us feel welcomed & comfortable. Overall, friendly atmosphere and professional staff. Highly recommend.
Nice little spot for a lunch with friends, had the meatballs and oysters
Delicious food and great service.
Beautifully restored historic setting in lovely downtown Milton. Food was delicious. I had grilled octopus. The lamb was amazing and the seafood linguini was outstanding. Desserts were fabulous too. Friendly and kind service. Will definitely return
Amazing food and atmosphere!
Excellent
Lovely Italian food a gastronomic delight
Hosted my daughters christening party at La Toscana, they do not open on Sundays but accommodated us. Pasquale and his staff were exceptional, excellent customer service and amazing food. Kudos!
Just had a really good dinner. The service was excellent. The restaurant has great ambiance. Nothing but 5* stars tonight...now go support them and enjoy your night out.
Just had the best takeout meal! It was delicious! Piping hot, fresh, and exceptionally tasty. Proud to support local Downtown Milton Business.
Cute little place in town with attentive service. For the price, I d expect pasta and desserts to be made in-house though.
The food and service is amazing!!!
The owner is a delight the food is amazing ambiance is so romantic you will fall in love with your partner here over and over one of Milton s best restaurants if not the best
Great location, great service. Can t get enough of those oysters.
Absolutely fabulous!!
Once you walk in through the front doors you feel transported to a warm and welcoming space. The exposed brick-work and artwork on the walls create a dining experience that is hard to replicate. I urge anyone that wants to enjoy a true experience and dining to visit La Toscana and order anything from either their menu or their specials. nice
Amazing food amazing servers
Outstanding service and the food was delicious!
We called Saturday to book a reservation, and the lady on the other end wasn t very friendly. When we arrived, same experience, weren t acknowledged for awhile, just stood around awkwardly. We got seated eventually and another while passed before waiter came by to ask what we wanted to drink, we didn t even have menus yet. Another while passed and we just got up and left. We ended up having a great experience at another Italian restaurant down the street. We re very easy to please and we re disappointed. Felt like we weren t welcome. The opposite experience at the other place, felt a warm welcome right away. Hope this helps.
Food and service was amazing
Food was excellent and Zoran provided us with great service. Will definitely be going back and highly recommended
Very satisfied,fresh& tasty food. Comparing to other restaurants,it was big surprise to have good and not pre done or frozen food. Keep doing good job.
It was great.excellent food service was great and price was right
Miltons gem. Love love love this place. Great vibe, authentic Italian done right. Treat yourself and let it become your new favourite.
Good food and good service
Great service and delicious food. Definitely recommend for a special meal occasion.
Great food, homely environment good service. Strict covid protocols as well
Excellent
Great interior. Had the Caesar salad and chicken frangelico, both of which were excellent. The service was top notch as well.
Delicious food. Prompt and friendly service. Cozy atmosphere.
Great place with a really good food. Coming back soon.
Nice location downtown. Impressive wine list and good rotating list of dinner specials. Will definitely be back.
Delicious Italian gastronomie in a lovely historic Milton setting. Excellent service and good for a private party.
Had the zucchini soup, and beef ... The food was surprisingly good, service was excellent! And the prices are very very reasonable
Delicious food. Awesome presentation. Top notch service.
It was my first time coming here, staff were professional and attentive. I ordered a Lobster medallion with diced cherry tomatoes and it was amazingly good!!! It was delicious As for the set up of the restaurant, I love how the the building structure was preserved and exposed the stone indoors! It gives a rustic, cozy atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant! Will definitely come back!
Nice place, very good food and knowledgeable stuff
We had an amazing dinner and time here. Albert, our server, was professional and polite and knowledgeable. The ravioli was perhaps the best pasta dish I have ever eaten. The prices were very fair. Would recommend and would absolutely return again. Atmosphere is nice in a very historic building.
Okay dining experience. The food was done well.
Been here many times for family celebrations. Food is fantastic and friendly staff.
Good food, good ambience
Can t wait to go back. Highly recommended
Great food. I had the real scallopini
Although the service was pretty reasonable, the food not so much. Out of our party of 7, maybe 1 or 2 people actually enjoyed their meals (that may be pushing it). Steak was extremely overcooked (all 4 at the table), potatoes were hard and dry, and the food just wasn t worth the price at all. There are far better options in and around Milton, where you ll leave truly satisfied with the meal. This is DEFINITELY not one of those places.
Not only was the food amazing but a very friendly atmosphere. The service was amazing and great conversation to be had..I recommend pulling up a seat at the bar!
I had changed my order about 5 times in my head before the waiter asked me what I wanted. Everything just looked so good. I decided to start with a 1/2 dozen oysters (3 Malpeque & 3 Blue Point). For my entree, I went with the special: pan seared bison ribeye with berries & cassis -- medium rare. A glass of Malbec brought it all together.
The service, the food and the overall ambiance was exceptional.
Fantastic meal!!
We started with the romain with Point Reyes blue. I think you could put that cheese on a shoe and itd be yummy. The dressing a tad sweet, the plate design-not so much, but fresh and yum. We shared the chicken Marsala and the cannelloni. The Marsala sauce wasnt overpowering the chicken and the mushrooms were delicious and plentiful. The two large cannelloni were filled with beef and pork, had nice flavor but could have been a lighter texture inside with a bit less salt.
Great food great service
100+ Visits..amazing every time!
One of my favorites
Brilliant all around. Most accommodating and the good and service were excellent.
Great food, amazing staff
Professional staff and amazing food. The price was fair, definitely coming back again
Great service and ended the meal with great dessert.
Went to a Christmas dinner party there. We had the set meal. (Brushetta, soup, salad, main course, dessert and coffee or tea) The food was so delicious and portions were a good size. I ordered the 10 oz steak and it was delicious. The flavour was so good and it was cooked perfectly.
I had high hopes with this restaurant seeing all the wonderful reviews. Appetizer - grilled calamari - well cooked and it tasted delicious Escargot - not the typical way that you imagine it served but it had good flavours in it. It came with mushrooms and served creamy? Main: portion is small specially the side veggies Pollo Frangelico - dish was bland, chicken was very dry and the cream had no flavour. It was lacking spice and salt. I wasn t the only one in our table to ordered this so it definitely was not a mistake. NY Sirloin - ordered medium got medium rare, the plate had bloody juice from cutting the meat. Also found this one was very salty. Spaghetti Bolognese - best one of the three dishes we ordered. Tasted great and generous portion. I recommend getting this dish to avoid any disappointment. Dessert - good selection, the creme brûlée was delicious. Staff was okay, had to ask for a couple things twice but for the most part they are friendly. Over all the place is nice but for the price and the overall food experience we will not be going back unless it is for another dinner event.
Delicious food and excellent wine selection. Very accommodating to gluten allergy.
Great place to eat Super fresh oysters
Great setting for a dinner out as a couple, with friends or a larger group. We went here for my wifes Christmas party. Service was excellent and food was cooked well. We had a set menu so I could not comment on the regular items. But for a large group of 20 they did well getting everything out fast hot and tasty. Only criticism would be lack of beer selection and they dont offer any local craft beers.
Good food; good service.
