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.
We waited nearly an hour to get four plates of pasta. Two of us ordered the same dish, but one portion was significantly smaller than the other - even though they were served at the same time. The pasta tasted fine, but definitely not worth the price. Overall, not a pleasant experience. Wouldn't recommend.
Excellente expérience chez Pizza Tuscolo ! Les pizzas étaient délicieuses, avec une pâte fine & bien croustillante, & des ingrédients frais & savoureux. Le service était rapide & chaleureux, & l'ambiance conviviale ajoutait une belle touche à notre repas. Un endroit parfait pour déguster une authentique pizza. Je recommande vivement & j'y retournerai sans hésite

I visited this Italian restaurant for the first time. I saw their pizza as I was walking around the other day & it looked interesting. They have a nice small terrace & the weather was perfect for dining out. I waited a bit to be seated although there was literally no one at the terrace & the waiters were on their phones. We ordered Burrata as antipasti but it was served after the pizza was on the table lol. We ordered Frutti de Mari (seafood) pizza & Tonno e Cipolla (tuna) pizza. They were both good but I liked the seafood one better. I've had better pizzas elsewhere. We had ordered virgin pina colada, but it was not good. I would not recommend it. We waited for a long time for the bill although there was still no one there at the terrace. We were not asked about coffee or dessert. The food was good but the service was sub-par. I still tipped 15%. I wouldn't repeat this experience.

The red curly hairy hostess was very nice to us along with the guy who was our waiter. The food was tasty & the service was fast. I highly recommend this place.

The pizza burrata is exceptional!! 100% recommend it. My wife had a piece of glass from the glass of water, not good... the service very average, location ok small terrace but work good.
When you are far away from home, it's wonderful to find a place where you can relax. The atmosphere & team at Tuscalo make you feel comfortable & welcome. The place has an edgy vibe & delicious food. I personally enjoyed the carbonara. My family had chicken parmigiana & rigatoni di Manzo. All of the food came out to our table hot & delicious. I strongly recommend this gem.

We reserved for 17h45 so quite early, on the Valentine's day, the place was empty but from 19h it was full ! The food was really really good, we hot the carbonara & the mushroom ravioli, & it was delicious & copius. The music was maybe not really matching the vibe of an italian restaurant. Otherwise woukd recommend for the quantity anf quality of a good italian restaurant!
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.
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
