The ambience is first rate. The food and service are very good to excellent. The wine list is excellent as is their corkage policy. This is what you would expect from a very highly rated, expensive and popular restaurant, but it doesn't stand out from the crowd.

I was given great reviews of this Italian Restaurant on 12th Street but I was greatly underwhelmed. You walk of the street straight into a very up market restaurant but no more. There is no wow factor to the restaurant surrounds at all. The food is very good, the service is fine in that false US way, but it is... More

Came to Tosca with two other couples to celebrate. We had all heard the reviews and had colleagues who enjoyed the restaurant. It (mostly) lived up to all the billing. The service is impeccable. Really, really good. This was probably the best part of the experience. We got a few apps, and the prosciutto was delish. Agree with other posters... More

The food was really tasty, but probably a bit too expensive for an italian restaurant. Probably suitable for an special occasion

This is an attactive restaurant, formal and not too noisy. The service was top rate and the food good. We both had meat dishes (lamb and veal) and they were excellent. The bread, salad, and items accompanying the meals were very good. I'm not sure I'd rate this as the third most enticing restaurant in DC, but it is very... More

Lots of suits. A very formal dining room heightened by waiters in dinner jackets. Food service formal as well with a smattering of Italian thrown in. A couple of faux pax in taking and delivering orders for our party of four. Food generally good, not better than expectations. My fish was a bit too oily and the portions too large,... More

Sleek modern decor combined with exquisitely prepared Italian dishes; menu changes seasonally; Jay is a great bartender -- best french martinis in DC!
