Tuscan Kitchen Seaport

We celebrated my daughter's college graduation in the Umbria room at Tuscan Kitchen. It's a semi private room, but it felt like our own private beautiful party space. Food was excellent and service was great! Wonderful experience from beginning to end. Working with Olivia made everything easy as I was planning the event from Ny.

We highly recommend this restaurant for planned events and for a regular night out for dinner. The food is authentic Italian and the wine is a wonderful selection. The service from Jessica and Cassandra was EXCELLENT! Our glasses were never empty and the timing of the food was perfect! We were seated at the Library area and the atmosphere was lively and the ambiance within the whole restaurant is classy and unique! WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! Thank you to Olivia S. for coordinating our whole event!...we are gratefu

Seaport is the land of lowered expectations. It's what happens when you make a neighborhood with more space for lobbies than people. In this kind of atmosphere, a pretty medium place like Tuscan Kitchen becomes a downright oasis. I've been here a couple times and both times the staff was super nice to us, even though (both times) we kept them open past closing. They were never pushy about anything, though, just kind of let us hang out. The atmosphere is actually super classy, though the place is cavernous, so cozy, it ain't. The food is...pricey. But by seaport standards, it's just another meal. They definitely put in the work, though, and when you're surrounded by places like Empire and Committee, the epicenter of the land of high cost, low return, it's a treat. Their fried calamari was pretty good, a small portion, but not too overcooked or oily. Their burrata was a bit small for the price, but not short on taste. I recommend the place, if for nothing else than to be treated like a human being. Yes, this is seaport and the bar is that low.

Buon Giornio Italia! That is how I felt after eating at the Tuscan Kitchen. We had just finished swearing in our Father in Law as a new US Citizen and we wanted to celebrate the occasion. It was very cold outside and trying to find a good place to eat, until we smelled an amazing bacon, garlic and other combinations of aromas coming out of the Tuscan Kitchen, so we jumped in! We need to start with the drinks, which as you can see from the picture, were beautifully served with great combinations, colors and decor. We loved the Aperol Spritz with Orange Juice, which the bartender made for my father in law, who loves a screwdriver, but wanted to taste a twist to it and he loved it. My wife's Sangria was great as well and with plenty of wine, which you can see in the color. We have been at other places, where the mix is more juice than wine, so she was happy that hers was blended the right way. Having said all of this, my main dish, the pasta bolognese was absolutely amazing and out of this world. I had this plate in Siena, Italy, which is at the center of the Tuscany region. That restaurant had help the spot for the top bolognese I have had, but this one topped that one and one that I will never forget. The picture just shows the amazing colors coming out of the sauce, dark reds, plenty of spices and fresh ingredients that you could taste throughout. It was clear that the person cooking or managing this recipe knows their stuff and our bartender told us that he was Italian and hailed from the area. I must confess that I came to the Tuscan Kitchen with my reservations, given that the Seaport is trendy and this is an Italian Restaurant chain. They have many locations in Boston, Burlington, etc. but this place did not disappoint and I am looking forward to coming for dinner, as we were there mostly for drinks and lunch and were surprised by this place! Thank you for making our day, especially as we were celebrating an amazing occasion and hoping to see you soon! Cheers!

The dinner we just enjoyed at the Tuscan Kitchen at the Seaport was the best dinner we have had in Boston in a very long time. No exaggeration. This is a beautiful restaurant able to serve many people comfortably at one time, with the addition of private rooms for private affairs. We entered on street level where there is a little bar and small dining room just off the sidewalk. Here is also an elevator (for easy access) and a grand stairway to bring patrons to the second floor main dining room. The menu is spectacular as is the food and wine list. Service is immediately attentive and tremendous. I had the Buratta della Casa to start and the most fantastic Pan Seared Scallops served over Safron Risotto with fresh Lobster meat. Amazing. The winelist is great with some of the finest Italian wines, especially the Falinghina, which we enjoyed. This place is the best!

Came here twice now. The vibes are great and different depending on where they seat you. They have a pretty strong menu with lots of good options. First time I came here it was just for drinks and some apps. The crudo options are good. They also sat us somewhere cozy upon request. Second time I got the short rib plate which was huggeeee. It was delicious, only small complaint is the meat was a bit dry, but the entire plate had a lot of gravy to dip it in. Reason for dropping a star is the service. Service is huge for me and our waiter just wasn't attentive. I even made eye contact and she told me she'd be right there and didn't show until 10 minutes later. Also when trying to pay it took some time to get the check and then again 10 minutes went by and I had to flag another waiter down to get the bill paid. I'm sure I'll show up again though and do recommend.

Company event in the Umbria and Sicilia room was incredible. Thank you Olivia for a seamless and involved preparation process!

We tried this place recently as we had a great experience in years past. Unfortunately we were let down. Overpriced for what it is - head to the north end for a more authentic worthwhile Italian experience!

lychee martini was delightful, if not a bit overpriced! that's the seaport for ya! caesar salad was too much work (came deconstructed) and $9 up charge for chicken. bartender riffed, which i enjoyed. sunlit bar seats were another plus

We had a very enjoyable meal at Tuscan Kitchen with some friends. The experience was made especially nice because of the friendliness of Jordes Castro, who is the assistant general manager. We started with the Salumi e formaggi which was excellent. So delicious! For our main course I ordered the seared scallops, which were probably wonderful but so buried in sauce, I couldn't taste them. The filet, on the other hand was excellent. The broccolini and asparagus were both good. I'll read the menu more carefully next time!!

As much as I can, I visit this spot on the weekends and is always a delight. I go for the consistency of the service food and drinks. OMG, shout-out to Leticia who saved my evening when I completely booked the reservation at a wrong time, your customer service it's wonderful. Anyway, cannot say enough great about this spot but the meat, just how you order it and this is def on of my favorite qualities of TK. The environment is perfect notch, balanced, great to have a conversation and fun to just be sitting by the window people watching while enjoying the meal. Never a bad thing about this spot! Once again, Leticia, you rock!

Tuscan is a cute spot but the I expected much higher quality from their prices. I paid $42 for 6 undercooked lobster ravioli. My lychee martini was also subpar unfortunately. It was nice to be able to walk right into empty bar seats on a Friday night, but it's so hard to not be disappointed with those prices.

First time dining at Tuscan Kitchen. It may be a chain restaurant but the management here has made this like a big family run diner. Waitstaff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Service is top notch. Bar service was quick too. Food is well presented and tastes incredible. Elevator for wheelchair access from the street is a plus. We showed up a little early for 6:30 reservations and requested a window seat. They were able to accommodate us as requested and we had a great view looking down on Seaport. We started with the house made buratta and it was almost as good as what we had in Italy. Fresh and creamy, a real treat served with pesto and grilled sourdough bread. Its a large serving as well. Afterwards we decided on the house red wine and the 10 oz, beef fillet special and truffle fries. We shared this dish and found it cooked perfectly, delicious and tender. As for the serving, it was more than we could eat. For dessert we had to try the amazing Salted Caramel Gelato! A fabulous finale to the best dinner of our whole visit. The manager even stopped by to check how our dinner was. The restaurant is well decorated, clean and not crowded. Tables are spaced far enough apart for some privacy even at capacity. We didn't get a chance to visit the but it looks cool too. All in all we had a great experience and I would fully recommend Tuscan Kitchen. We will be back on our next visit. UrbanCowgill Aug. 2023

Upon entry there is a bar on the ground level and an elevator and stairs for use to get to the restaurant located above. The server was very attentive until the end, we asked for the check to be split amongst our group and it was not. The food was very good though. We tried the caprese salad and shrimp cocktail as starters, the shrimp are huge and the mozzarella in the salad tasted very fresh. The short rib and lobster carbonara were also delicious. Overall the food was a little pricey but it's nice to spoil yourselves once in a while. Would come again if I'm in Boston.

Excellent service, and ambiance for a nice sit down dinner with either a group of friends/family/coworkers or an intimate date for a special occasion. To start we ordered the arugula salad, artichoke and charcuterie board. All items tasted good, would rate 4 stars! 5 stars for the mushroom ravioli dish - the flavoring in the marsala and filling was delicious. The ravioli itself was fresh made pasta, and al dente. Highly recommend! Plan to come back for a special occasion.

I only had appetizers, but they were all fantastic, and the ambiance of the the 2nd floor bar area was very conducive to our merry gathering of friends. The shrimp scampi was adorned with sweet tomatoes, the calamari had a sauce that accompanied it, and a flavorful kick accompanied the sauce. And the crab cake was divine. Now it was a bit pricey, I mean $24 for one crab cake is reason to pause, but if you want some nice flavors and a cool environment give it a try!

Technically, there was nothing wrong with our experience. It was straightforward, but unremarkable. The food and drinks were acceptable, though not exceptional. The service lacked warmth and seemed more transactional than inviting. While my dining companion enjoyed her short rib ravioli, I found my lobster ravioli to be flavorless. Ultimately, it felt like we were paying more for the ambiance than the quality of the food. During a chance encounter, I shared these thoughts with Ross, a young man who works at Tuscan's downstairs bar. He displayed genuine empathy and interest in our experience, even offering recommendations from the menu that might better suit our preferences. Despite the average dining experience, Ross' positive energy during our meeting was contagious. I would happily return to sit at his bar, enjoy a few drinks, and then explore some of his suggested dishes upstairs.

Came here for a private event so I can't speak to the prices, but the food was pretty good. I enjoyed watching the chef work the Alfredo in the cheese bowl and the authentic flavor that it added. The scallops appetizer was also delicious. Staff was friendly and kept the food well stocked.

I had dinner while in Boston for work. My first impression when I walked in was that this place is gorgeous. I like the decoration and the open kitchen concept. Very nice and large menu selection from pasta to seafood. I started the evening off with a nice mojito cocktail. Not the best mojito I've ever had but I guess I got spoiled by living in South Florida where they make good mojito all around. Our group also started with a flatbread as an appetizer. I like the prosciutto on top because it was flavorful and not so salty. For the entree, I decided to go with their pan-seared scallops. I have to say I was a little disappointed with this dish. The prosciutto on top was supposed to be crispy but it was burnt instead. The portion was very small for an entree, I only counted 4 pieces of scallops which made me feel like I ordered an appetizer instead of an entree. Overall the visit was a hit and miss for me. The restaurant looks and feels nice, the service was alright. But I was kind of let down on the food.

I come to Boston probably once a year for a few days each visit. I have to say, this was by far the best place in Boston that I've been to. We stopped by on a cold Saturday night after taking a short walk outside. We were added to the waitlist and seated within 15 minutes (table of 5). Our server was very attentive. We got a lovely bottle of wine with some fried calamari to start. I ordered the tortelli al brasato and let me tell you, it's a MUST TRY! Other members at the table ordered the ravioli al quattro formaggi, pollo arrosto, polipo and frutti di mare. Everything was great! Huge plus is the entrees arrived so swiftly! We also ordered dessert; tiramisù, panna cotta and torta calda al cioccolato. It was all lovelyyyy. Plus the ambiance is great. Everything is past expectations here!

Was walking around seaport with my friend. We happened to walk by this place and decided to give it a try and eat something quick. The place is gorgeous and very beautifully decorated with an open kitchen and wood fire oven for making their fresh bread. It was definitely fancier than we expected. I got the roasted mushroom ravioli and she got the sage brown butter sweet potato and parmigiana truffle fries. The food was great and portions were also not lacking. The sauce that went with the ravioli was a bit too sweet for my liking though. The fresh bread was okay. I've had better bread from other Italian restaurants before.

We hosted my daughter's bridal shower in one of their private rooms. Absolutely everything was outstanding. The room is stunning and spacious with floor to ceiling windows and a gorgeous stone fireplace. Our two servers were so attentive and accommodating with any requests. The food was delicious and the drinks were beautifully presented and amazing. It was exactly what we hoped and dreamed and we are truly grateful to have had a cherished event at Tuscan Kitchen. Don't hesitate to book a private event.

We had 2 appetizers: Octopus and Artichoke. They were absolutely AWESOME! The sauces served with each were unique but, blended together amazingly. The wine was top notch. Then, we decided to order desert: a gluten free chocolate cake. OMG, once again, hard to believe it could be so good. The service was excellent. They were there when needed -- not intrusive -- just VERY helpful. And, of course, the restaurant was pristine and quiet. All and all, an excellent dining experience that I would highly recommend.

Fantastic food! Wonderful staff that was not only on top of our party's needs, but worked ahead of them to ensure everyone enjoyed their time. Just lovely!

Highly recommend for both food and service. Sit in the bar area and get Nicholas, as he is amazing! Getting a sommelier is the best dining experience, and he's your man. Wild boar gnocchi was on point and the octopus appetizer was delicious as well. I've also had the short rib and bolognese, all super yummy. And there's a separate dining area that's more formal if looking for a date night. I travel for work and appreciate spots like this and will continue my repeat visits when in Boston.

I still feel the same about this place. The food is still OK. After a few years and coming back for another try, I still find that the food is not that impressive. It's disappointing I didn't feel the food was better after a few years. The worst dish I think I got this time was the meatball. It tasted very pasty in texture, which wasn't great. Their bolognese, the pasta is overcooked. The octopus dish was better but on the saltier side. Overall, not a place I'd come back to for Italian food.

Just stopped by bar for drinks. Beautiful space but service was indifferent. Drinks were warm and just not that flavorful. Pretty ice cubes but that's about all I recommend

Booked a team holiday outing and worked with Olivia. The process was seamless and very easy. Our server Cassandra was awesome and was always right there when anyone needed something! The atmosphere and views make it a really fun but also cozy place to be. Food and drinks were delicious!

Excellent food and GREAT service. Ask for Valentina! Atmosphere is incredible. Mushroom Ravioli

The food was ok I really expected more! the service was great and the ambience is very nice - but it is too expensive for not being an extremely delicious food!

Horrible service Avoid at all costs Waited for dinner for an hour to no avail Loud and buzzy noise Ordered a salad with balsamic vinegar, they brought soy sauce. Ordered a veal chop medium. Well done. Asked for ice tea. Hour wait. Ordered butternut squash. Came an hour after the entree with prompting.

I cannot give any more than two stars for the poor performance put on by Tuscan Kitchen- Seaport. I came for my Nonno's 80th birthday in a party of 12. I have a lot of concerns. Namely, the tagliatelle al tartufo: while the presentation with the torch in the parmigiano wheel is fun to see, there were misses with the pasta itself and the truffle. I think it was Chinese black truffle- no real aroma that I am used to when I travel to Italy in the summer. Real European black truffle grown in Italy and France is of the species Tuber melanosporum, whereas Chinese black truffle is Tuber indicum, the latter variety extremely cheaper and with far less flavor/ aroma. The "house made" tagliatelle was cold by the time Mark wheeled out his cart with the cheese wheel. The pasta itself was congealed and stuck to itself, not good. They sell this menu item at $65 currently and it's lack luster to say the least. Service is acceptable. Seems as if they did as best they could. We are not an easy crowd to please, but the real point I need to drive home is that Tuscan Kitchen- Seaport's take on Italian food is inauthentic to say the least. Disappointing. Also, please stop over-salting the seafood. The octopus I tried from a neighboring dish was deeply over salted.

We were from out of state and had our son's wedding rehearsal dinner at the Tuscan Kitchen in Seaport! Olivia the event manager was awesome to work with during the entire planning process and she answered every question very quickly and professionally! The dinner for 30 and welcome party for 70 was WONDERFUL! The food was SUPER delicious and the servers were very attentive and made sure everything was done right and made our group feel special! There were no hiccups- everything was perfect! The view from the room that we rented was spectacular - it was a view of the city and the room is decorated so nicely that we did not have to worry about bringing any decor with us! We HIGHLY recommend Tuscan Kitchen Seaport for any event!!

Wow, I'm glad I didn't check the reviews before I came in. Might not be a five star joint but definitely not 3.5. The meal was great - my pasta was well-cooked and delicious, and the service from Daniel the bartender was unobtrusive, courteous, and prompt. I'm disappointed about a few small things - no outdoor seating, my Caesar salad was drenched in dressing, and the tails on the prawns were raw looking, but these are all small complaints. I can't wait to come back and try some other things on the menu. Thanks for a great meal!

My husband and I came here the weekend after Valentine's Day because we had a giftcard to use. I wasn't expecting the place to be great and I wasn't wrong. I would have been mad if we had paid for the meal out of pocket but given that it was basically free, it was somewhat enjoyable. We started with the calamari which was a bit over-salted. It was fine. All of the pasta dishes are tiny portion wise and overpriced. I ordered the wild boar ragu with truffled gnocci. The presentation was more than lacking. The gnocci were pillowy soft but taste wise, weren't anything special. My husband ordered the short rib which was a decent sized portion. It was good, nothing amazing. Almost all other short rib dishes I've had were better. For dessert, I ordered the tiramisu. Some of the garnishes had a funny flavor to them. My husbands first choice of dessert was sold out so he got the doughnuts which were really good. The lemony dipping sauce was the best part of the meal. I wanted to drink it . Overall the food was decent but nothing spectacular. My reason for the low rating is mainly because the prices were too high for small portions of decent food. Also, the service was off. It wasn't bad but first of all, our meals came out way too quickly (in under 10 minutes). Some people may prefer that but I went to enjoy a leisurely meal, I didn't want to be in and out. Also, they didn't give a lot of bread. I was going to ask for more but they took the oil plate away before I could even ask. Also, no one even offered me any parmesan for my pasta. Then, when the waiter told my husband they were out of the dessert he wanted, he said he would be back and immediately left, even though my husband already knew his second choice and the waiter didn't come back until 15 minutes later. Overall, the experience just wasn't worth the price. However, the experience was somewhat redeemed when the manager came by and offered us complimentary limoncello for "Valentine's Day."

We recently organized a client appreciation event at the Tuscan Kitchen in the Seaport area of Boston, and it was an amazing experience! Olivia did an excellent job in coordinating the event, and Evelyn and Johnny were extremely attentive and responsive to our needs throughout the evening. The food, service, and venue were all of the highest quality. We are definitely planning to host future events at this location and highly recommend it to others.

Food here is definitely pricey, but delicious! Crab cake was amazing (didn't get a chance to snap a photo before digging into it), and the frutti di mare was amazing! Loved the fresh lobster, octopus, and shrimp. Great flavors overall and would love to come back again!

We booked this restaurant on a whim and were so happy with our decision. The food, service and atmosphere was amazing. We're already talking about when the next time we'll be back to Boston to come eat here again.

We hosted a 50th anniversary party in the Toscana Room at the restaurant last weekend. From working with the events manager, Olivia, to our outstanding waitstaff, the party was a resounding success! The room was set beautifully, food delicious and the staff responsive and helpful. I would absolutely recommend planning a special event at the Tuscan Kitchen.

We held our Corporate Holiday Party at Tuscan Kitchen this past weekend. It was such an amazing event and so seamless. Olivia was our Event Manager and she was absolutely incredible. Prior to our event she was so clear and fast to communicate. We started planning this event back in the summer and she made planning so easy and fun! She made sure we got exactly what we were looking for. Olivia and her staff were so attentive to us on Saturday night. Between the food, drinks, ambiance, and staff, everything was amazing! I would definitely come back here for an event and for dinner! Thank you Olivia and Staff!!

Book your private party here!! We had my parents 50th Anniversary party in the Toscana room which has a beautiful view of the bustling Seaport. Olivia was amazing to plan with and managed our many questions, changes, etc in the most patient and professional of ways. Diego and Johnny took care of our group and were wonderful, even accommodating a Kosher meal last minute. Food was excellent (perhaps the best filet mignon I've ever had)! We can't wait to come back!

Every time I have been to this restaurant, I have loved the ambiance as well as the food. The last time I had dinner there, I brought my family. Once we were done with our meal and we're about to leave, a waiter accidentally dropped a plate on me, getting olive oil stains on my wool coat. While this is not an ideal experience as a customer, Charlie the manager went above and beyond to make things right. He gave me his card, offered to buy me a new jacket or at least pay for my dry cleaning. Two weeks later, I called and explained I got my jacket dry cleaned and the stain was out..and could provide the $30 receipt. Charlie drove to my house and dropped off $30 as well as a gift card of $100 to Tuscan Kitchen. Can you believe that?! He went above and beyond! Best management I've seen in a long time. I'll definitely be back, there are zero hard feelings about the accidental spill!

In early May 2023, our company held a social event at Tuscan Kitchen Seaport. It was a well-attended, huge success. The view was amazing! Everyone was pleased with the set-up, food, drinks, and service received. Olivia Sacco was very instrumental in helping me plan and set up for this event. She kept me updated at every step. Fast-forward, 5 weeks, and during and a very busy time in Boston due to all the graduations, Olivia helped us secure a last-minute dinner reservation at Tuscan Kitchen for our company executives. Again, delicious food, drink, and service. I'm glad to know that I can reach out to Olivia and Tuscan Kitchen Seaport to help me plan an all around amazing event.

Booked the Toscana room for a private business dinner of approx 40 people. Given it was 3 weeks before Christmas, they had a small fire lit and the room was festive. Everything was incredible - from Olivia's assistance in planning, to the bar / wait staff, to the food, desserts, and drinks. It was my first time at Tuscan Kitchen and I will absolutely be returning on my personal time and planning more events there!

Tuscan Kitchen is easily accessible for all in the Seaport directly off the MBTA with a variety of gluten free options. The staff are well informed and the restaurant is beautiful. Dinner is expensive but your paying for the experience.

Really expensive for the quality of food. I liked the sweet potatoes side, and ordered the shrimp scampi per others' yelp reviews, and the calamari. The shrimp scampi was good. Garlicky and buttery, with some angel hair noodles. The problem was that it had literally 2 pieces of shrimp. The calamari was dry and rubbery.

What an amazing location to host a party!! Had an extremely fun business school 30th reunion. 80 people visiting from around the world enjoyed a warm environment, delightful food, and incredible service. Delicious passed appetizers, plentiful mains and tasty desserts. Of course wine and cocktails were constantly flowing... Olivia managed every detail with ease and then some!! She planned and executed with heart and smiles. Kept to our budget without limiting quality. Thank you Olivia and Tuscan Kitchen for adding so much joy to our reunion.

Came here for my 25th anniversary with my wife and the place was completely above my expectations. The ambiance was amazing the food was fantastic i had the halibut and it was a beautiful piece of fish and my wife had the filet which was cooked to perfection. The staff was super friendly Martha was our waitress and was very professional and caring and she even sent the manager jordes over to ensure we had a fantastic evening he also went above and beyond getting us dessert for our anniversary. 100/10 s

Service is terrible here. Took 30 minutes for us to be able to place an order due to not being given appropriate menus. Reservation request was ignored and we were seated in one of the worst spots initially. Host service was poor as well. Overall the experience was needlessly stressful. This place needs to hire more staff. The prices are definitely not justified for the level of service here. This was probably the worst service I have received in any restaurant this year.

Last night was our first time dining at Tuscan Kitchen and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and the managers made it a memorable night. From the moment we were seated at our table, Kyle (manager) made sure that we were treated special. He even presented us with a happy anniversary card signed by the staff. The food was yummy and our waiter, Adrian, was even better! Adrian took care of us and made us feel like we were regulars. My husband and I are definitely coming back when are in Boston for delicious food, excellent service and extremely thoughtful people!
