Restaurant Tuscolo elicits mixed feedback, with pizza often praised as amazing and tiramisu noted as memorable, while overall dining experiences range from very good to not ideal due to service quality and value. Food is generally described as good to excellent, but waits for pasta can be lengthy and portions can vary even when served at the same time, raising questions about price. Service can be slow or disengaged on some visits, though other experiences highlight attentive staff and a pleasant atmosphere with indoor or balcony seating and a downtown price range that is respectable; a solid wine selection from France and Italy is also mentioned. Overall the reviews emphasize standout flavors and a memorable pizza, but inconsistent service and value balance influence whether the visit feels worth it, leaving some patrons eager to return and others unsure.
As soon as I had ordered, the staff paid me no attention, or asked how the meal was, if I would like anything else etc. I had to wait nearly 20 minutes for the bill as the waitress seemed to forget my existence, so I asked a different waiter. The pizza was OK but lacked flavour & was somewhat dry. It felt very overpriced for what I got, which was unfortunate, as I had been craving a pizza & a friendly face or two!
Not a fan of the pizza. The ingredients seem good but, unless you like a very oily wet crust that immediately flops when you pick it up, this is probably not the place to get pizza from. Much better than dominos of course but you probably aren't looking here if you were considering dominos. The service was friendly & convenient location to the hotel were the main positives.

The atmosphere is really nice. It's dimly lit but they give you a small lamp to eat. The chairs had something on them, but didn't bother me much compared to the overall atmosphere. When it comes to the food their pizzas are good but that should be expected since it's a pizzeria. However we also ordered a carbonara & saying it was bad would be an understatement. The worst part is the service. The initial interaction was definitely my fault as I didn't properly respond to the greeting however the rest of the time was simply a mess. They obviously weren't communicating with each other as 2 separate people asked for my order even if I already ordered. & during the whole meal although it was obvious that some of the staff was free, we didn't get a single water refill & we had to ask for one ourselves.
My friends & I had dinner at Tuscolo restaurant. It is located in crescent street, one of the busiest areas of Montreal. I really liked it! Very comfortable, cozy, - & great service Here what we had: - Salad Tuscolo (22.5$) good & tasty! - Fettuccini Tuscolo (29$) not bad, a bit dry - Regina Margherita (19.5$). I loved it! Couldn't stop & I ended up eating it all by myself 🙈 - Saracena Pizza (21.5$) it was yummy, but not the best - Indiavolata (23.5$). Delicious!

J'ai adoré la pizza « Meat Lovers », que je recommande vivement aux amateurs de viande. C'était un pur délice. L'ambiance italienne était au rendez-vous, accompagnée de musiques qui animaient le restaurant. J'ai terminé avec un tiramisu qui m'a ramené au vrai goût authentique.
Notre visite au Tuscolo en famille a été un véritable plaisir. Ce restaurant accueille les enfants, fournissant même des chaises adaptées. L'expérience a été excellente, avec des pizzas délicieuses. Pour ma part, j'ai opté pour une pizza fruits de mer, un incontournables. Mon mari a choisi une salade au poulpe en entrée & des rigatoni di manzo e broccoli, un vrai régal. L'équipe était aux petits soins, allant même jusqu'à préparer des pâtes au beurre spécialement demandés par ma fille.
Notre expérience culinaire italienne a été tout simplement remarquable, La pâte de la pizza était exceptionnellement délicieuse, offrant une texture parfaite. Les tagliatelles Pistacchio e burrata étaient un pur délice. Une véritable expérience gustative mémorable.Un grand bravo à toute l'équipe pour cette expérience mémorable.
Tonight, I experienced the incredible "Al Taglio" Pizza with some friends & it was incredible! This is a must try Experience + the staff here are so welcoming & nice! Thanks to Nima & Karine for their hospitality! Highly Recomended place 🙌🏼
Indulging in a delightful dining experience at Tuscolo was truly a treat. The freshness & homemade quality of the pasta elevated the flavors to a whole new level of deliciousness. Each bite of the pasta was a testament to the chef's skill & dedication to quality. The pizza, a masterpiece in its own right, surpassed expectations. The crust was perfectly crafted, providing a delightful balance of crispiness & chewiness. Topped with flavorful ingredients, it was a true delight for the taste buds. To conclude the culinary journey on a sweet note, the dessert was nothing short of succulent. Every bite was a harmonious blend of textures & flavors, leaving a lasting impression. Overall, Tuscolo not only met but exceeded expectations, offering an unforgettable Italian dining experience. From the freshness of the pasta to the perfection of the pizza & the sublime sweetness of the dessert, it's a restaurant that deserves high praise. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic & exceptional taste of Italy.
Ohhhh quel beau restaurant super chaleureux avec de la bonne musique style calm down 🥰 La pizza était excellente j’ai préféré au pâtes mais je crois que pour des pâtes il est mieux de prendre des fettucine ou les carbonara. J’ai pris les pennes & oui c’était bon mais puisque les pâtes sont faits maisons, de longues pâtes, c’est définitivement mieux ! Les serveurs sont adorables & très serviables. Je recommande pour une date avec soi-même ou un restau en famille ou entres amis! J’étais en date avec moi-même à l’intérieur du restaurant au lieu de la terrasse comme tout le monde préfère… Résultat = La paix, la musique & ma pizza 🍕🥰
Merez Sam & Nima sont très gentils !!! Tous très souriants & attentionnée!!!

Super beau restaurant , avec une très belle ambiance . La serveuse a été très gentille & nous a placé sur la terrasse elle nous a aussi donné de bonne recommandations, car nous n'étions pas familier avec leurs menu. Leurs pizza était très bonne & leurs "Tiramisu" était exceptionnelle. J'y retournerais c'est certain
