Toscana Bar Italiano on Rantoul Street is a classically modern gastrobar serving authentic Italian cuisine with an emphasis on high-quality ingredients and simple preparation. The kitchen handles Italian items with homemade sauces, and regulars consistently praise the broccoli rabe spring rolls and carbonara. Beyond the food, the bar program deserves attention—the website describes the restaurant as offering premium craft cocktails and martinis alongside an extensive wine and beer selection. The dining room strikes a balance between casual and intimate, with a protected outdoor patio available. Service moves at an unhurried pace, and the house bread arrives with garlic oil to start.
