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.
Not sure why but when I went no one acknowledge me. Several workers walked past me while I was waiting at the stand tonight. & one even put an order then continued past me. I left
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.

Le serveur n'était pas souriant & aimable. Nous avons du nous meme demander les différentes carte (vins etc...), pareil pour l'eau, nous avons du en demander... la pizza « meat lover » est décevante, il y a quelques bouts de bacon qui se battent en duel... tout ca pour 29$. Les prix sont trop chers & le service est vraiment moyen. Dommage car la localisation est sympa.
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!
The extra context to the 3 stars for food might be that I've eaten lasagnas from Nigeria all my life & ordered it here to find it too tomato-ey. Had to ask for chilli flakes to enjoy it. But yeah, lovely service, staff, atmosphere & my friends that I went with loved their own orders. (The waiter also said there's a compulsory minimum 15% tip)
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.

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.
