Osteria Toscana - (Near Lambeth, london)

5 /5 V N: Gorgeous little Italian restaurant. We had a divine late lunch here to celebrate my birthday recently. The staff are lovely and very attentive but the food is top notch. Great ingredients and everything we had was delicious and well presented. Also nice to have a restaurant using white tablecloths

5 /5 Kerr Richard (RKBanton): Wow! So this was a quick last minute dinner with my son. The restaurant was very accommodating and was very patient with our indecisiveness. When we finally knew what we wanted we were thoroughly impressed. From the quality of food, to taste, to service, everything was just perfection. A personal recommendation for their scallops with Caviar. Please please order this. Its one of the best things Ive ever tasted. Complements to the chef for great preparation and great timing also (leaving a little gap between starters and mains so we werent really full. A very nice touch). Great Service and will be back!

5 /5 Yashoda Budhathoki: I recently enjoyed a Valentine’s Day dinner at the osteria Toscana, and it was a wonderful experience. The food was beautifully presented and perfectly suited for a romantic evening. The starter was fresh and flavourful, setting the tone for the rest of the meal. The main course was cooked to perfection, with tender meat and well-seasoned sides that complemented each other nicely. The dessert was the highlight of the evening – rich, sweet, and elegantly decorated, making it perfect for Valentine’s Day. The atmosphere was warm and romantic, with soft lighting and lovely table decorations. The service was attentive and friendly, which made the evening even more special.

5 /5 Kateřina Jebousková: I have been to Osteria Toscana many times, yet never left a review. (Therefore the 5* but please read the rest..) Service is always impeccable and they try to go above and beyond to satisfy your needs! As for the food - this is the first time I am left extremely underwhelmed, both the starters and main courses were just not it. I really hate complaining and have hard time returning a dish. During starters I thought: “oh well there is main course coming..” After a few bites of crab linguini I struggled to find any taste and needed a lot of salt to make it at least a bit palatable. When I finally worked up the courage to tell the server (after they took the food away, I know - my mistake) I was left with simply “it’s the pasta, we complained about it before”. I really like Osteria Toscana and hope that today was just an “off day”. I noticed the menu has changed and prices are actually cheaper, however I would rather pay a bit more if it means a fresher/tastier products just like before. I hope this feels like a constructive feedback, rather than a harsh criticism.
