Osteria was everything I expected. Not high-end but great classic Italian food. I really liked the ambiance of the dining room and hadn't realized how cozy it was. I dined alone and the staff was attentive and made sure I wasn't lonely in a corner. I ordered the Tagliarini con Gamberetti - it was very good but I think I really wanted chicken piccata and pivoted at the last minute. I will go back. Cozy, charming, great staff, attention to detail.

Osteria Toscana is an absolute gem and a must-visit for anyone who loves Italian food. I ordered the gnocchi, and it was incredible--soft, pillowy, and coated in a rich, flavorful sauce that felt like true comfort food. Every bite was perfectly seasoned, and the gnocchi practically melted in my mouth. What made the experience even better was the outdoor seating area. Originally set up during Covid, it's now a permanent feature, and I'm so glad they kept it. Sitting outside in the fresh air while enjoying such a fantastic meal made for a relaxing and enjoyable evening.

Great service, white tablecloths etc. We always end up doing something custom like chicken picatta, but everything is great. Great wines by the glass, bread/oil and dessert. Francisco's a great waiter and Kayleigh is wonderful too. One of our favorites. It's a classic Palo Alto place that we love very much! They can make almost anything!

Amazing food and service! Great wine and food! Always love coming here! Olive oil can't be beat!

All I can say is delicious! I ordered the lasagna for takeout. The portion was large an enough for two meals and it was so flavorful. I have dined in before as well for a private event. The service was great and the food and beverages were great.

This place is absolutely amazing! My mom got the penne, I got the pesto gnocchi, my sister got the squid ink, and my dad got the lasagna. All dishes were absolutely delicious, but I'd have to say my favorite was the penne. The gnocchi and penne were so creamy and smooth. The chicken in the penne was delicious as well. Will definitely be coming back here, such a great meal!

Came here on a Monday night. Made the reservations through Yelp. Parking- it's either street parking or at the parking structure kitty corner to the restaurant. Accessibility- the restaurant is quaint and small, so it can be a tight squeeze if it's a wheelchair or walker. But, families with strollers were coming in, so I'm sure they can make it work. Service- excellent. It was very efficient. I usually ask for hot water as my choice of beverage and it was just the right hot without that coffee taste. Food- it really can't be beat in their pastas. - Gnocchi al pesto: full of creamy pesto sauce and the gnocchi was hot and fresh with just the right softness. - Linguine vongole: had it with the white sauce. The linguine was just the right al dente with perfect chewiness. Loved all the clams and garlic. Return Factor- YES! Because of that family atmosphere, where the host greets you warmly and one of the best authentic pasta restaurants.

Amazing food and the best service! Violette was absolutely amazing, the pasta was fantastic and the bread was delicious.
