I think the food was pretty good. May I also preface this by saying my husband and I started coming here when first dating in 1992 when it was called La Griglia Toscana. We have been loyal patrons since and have raised two additional Toscana enthusiasts in our two sons along the way. I think all the pizzetti are incredible. I just think a little seasoning would go along way in the prep of the entrees and salads. Overall, we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the service is always incredibly top notch. Love Piccolina Toscana and totally recommend.
