Cucina Toscana - Richmond, BC

Cucina Toscana on Urbanspoon










We've had guests over for the past 2 weeks, so, we've been taking them all over the place. My mom found this Italian restaurant near Garden City and Cambie, this place used to be located in kerrisdale according to their web site. This place is Taiwanese from what i was told.

So this place has 3 course specials for $35. There was lamb rack, sirloin, and prime rib. We also ordered pasta and gnocchi. Overall, this place was good, but not great, i don't think we'll be back, it was just too basic. The place looks nice inside, the service was a bit spotty, the girl was overwhelmed since it got real busy. The place has a nice upscale feel to it, but the service is short of it. One example is after the starter, we placed our fork and knife on the plate, expecting that she would take the plate and setting away, she asked us to take our fork and knife off the plate, we told her to change it. Overall, this place was just okay, decent good food, but it just didn't wow us. also there wasn't really anything in terms of a special of the day.

Hey, this is my first post so, please bear with me. we went to a little hole in the wall in burquitlam. overall, you'll find that the food isn't all that bad, some good, some not. but i thought it was a good experience. would i recommend this place? actually i would. service is okay, nothing special. but there's a few dishes that i had here that i haven't tried anywhere else. sorry for the poor photos,
