Toscano Restaurant

Toscano is a Tuscan-style restaurant on Charles Street in Beacon Hill, set among the street’s antique shops, boutiques and cafés. It serves authentic, traditional Tuscan cuisine at lunch and dinner in a warm, European-style dining room, and it describes itself as a staple of what it calls Boston’s oldest neighborhood. The restaurant presents its setting as a European backdrop for a traditional Tuscan meal.

The kitchen focuses on the homegrown flavors and traditions of the Tuscan meal. Toscano also has a second location in Cambridge, on Brattle Street a stone’s throw from Harvard, where it brings the same bright, fresh Tuscan flavors to Harvard Square. That street, once called the King’s Road, is lined with eateries, shops and confectioners, giving the second restaurant a busy, historic setting.
