   Have to start with the atmosphere... A+ friendly family feeling while dining. We went on trivia night which was a blast!!! My 8 year old ate every last bit of his cheese pizza, which never happens anywhere we've been before. My husband and I shared the flama burrata and it was a new try but very good. Next the Alfredo was so smooth and creamy. The steak frites were scarfed down immediately!!!! My favorite is the hand cut fries, they're worth a whole trip alone. Overall it was such a fun night out and will certainly return.

   This was my date night. It was the first 80 degree day of the year and it was hot and stuffy in the restaurant (on the second floor). I needed to go outside to get air. I told the bar tender that I would need to leave since it was so hot. They put the a/c on and it felt much better. It went downhill for me once my waiter took my order. While my waiter was taking my order, he scratched his hair twice. That turned me off immediately. I ordered a seltzer with lemon. He squeezed the lemon in my seltzer after having a scratch fest in his hair. I left the restaurant.

   Great Happy Hour. My husband loves the beef sliders and what’s not to like about their pizza! Danielle is a delight!

   Wanted to try out this restaurant for a while. I work in the area and it always smelled good when passing. Decided to make a reservation on Valentine’s Day. The ambiance was very nice in restaurant. Unfortunately it did take a while to be seated then it took even longer for a server to attend to our table. From entering the restaurant and being seated, it took about 35 minutes to even get a glass of water. The restaurant was not busy. The manager did try to make amends, which we appreciated (comped a few items). As far as the food goes, we ordered wings for an appetizer. They were either really good or they were just good cause we have been waiting forever to eat. The entrees were sufficient, but expected more. We ordered the short rib and the Toska burger. Overall it was a pleasant experience but was lacking service. Maybe it was just an off night, or they were overwhelmed from the earlier Valentine’s Day service.

   went on valentines day which was a mistake. 45 minutes after we sat down the first of our 5 entrees came. no appetizers, no other entrees. sent it back and 10 minutes later our appetizers came. after 15 minutes all 5 entrees came. the first one was shrimp carbonara and it had been sitting under a heat lamp for 25 minutes. needless to say it was all dried out and the shrimp were overcooked so I sent it back. the replacement came and i have to say it was the worst carbonara ever - it was soupy and the chef forgot to add the bacon or pancetta. the manager said he would comp it but forgot to take it off the bill.

   This is a neighborhood gem! A group of 4 of us went on a Thursday night and were seated upstairs - didn't realize how BIG this place was when looking from the outside. The food, drinks, and service were excellent! We ordered a variety of items and shared them - wood fired wings, caprese salad, truffle sweet potato fries, the Veg pizza, one of the burgers, hot chicken sandwich, and one of their specialty dishes qebapa. I would highly recommend Toska, and we'll definitely be going back.

    Very good service! The food and drinks we had were tasty with generous portions. My only wish is for more of a seafood selection.
