"Toscano has been open for over 40 years, and having dinner at this Italian restaurant is a Beacon Hill right of passage (and a much better one than tripping over all the uneven sidewalks). Like most spots in the neighborhood, there’s wood, bricks, and leather everywhere. The menu leans Tuscan with great charcoal-grilled dishes like crispy brick-pressed cornish hen, along with great classics like caesar salad, linguine with pesto, and pepper-crusted tenderloin. We also love the Neapolitan-style pizzas—the speck and quattro formaggi bianco in particular are both slam dunks. Always start or end your meal with the four Italian cheese tasting with truffle honey." - tanya edwards
