Visited 12/17/25 for my birthday. What can I say? This is a high end steakhouse. You're gonna pay a lot of money and have an amazing meal. They specialize in dry aged steaks. The minimum is 35 days, but they often leave a steak hanging for longer than that, up to 45 or even 60 days. A few years ago I asked the chef a couple of months in advance if he would leave a special one hanging for my birthday. I brought a big group with me and we all feasted on 120 day aged steaks. When it's gone that long you're going to start getting strange flavor notes, like mushrooms and nuts. It was incredible. Toscano is our special occasion place in #Bordentown, and one of my favorite restaurants of all time. #SteakToTheHeart

Food and service were exceptional! The bread and honey butter at the beginning was so tasty! I got a peach sangria and really enjoyed it! The eggplant was soft, great texture, and fresh taste! We enjoyed the meatballs, but just wished it came in a standard red sauce with no other meat in the sauce to take away from the flavor of the meatball! Our waitress Debbie was phenomenal! She was so sweet and so knowledgeable on the menu and history of the establishment! She deserves a 5 star! A little pricy, but the food is worth it to me! Great portions we will make this a regular spot. :)

We took our moms here as an early Christmas gift before going to a show. We had a wonderful waiter & excellent food. We loved everything we ordered & it was all presented nicely on the plates. The pork chop was probably the most tender I've ever had & my husband completely enjoyed his tender wagyu NY strip.

My experience at Toscano was absolutely impeccable from start to finish. The atmosphere was elegant and welcoming, and every detail was handled with care. The highlight of the evening was the 45-day aged steak, which was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and truly one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. What made the experience even more memorable was the outstanding service. The staff was attentive, professional, and genuinely committed to making our dining experience exceptional. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, everything exceeded expectations. I highly recommend Toscano to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience.

My fiance took me and my parents here for my birthday and it didn’t disappoint. From the food, to the service, everything was excellent. Our waiter was very knowledgeable in the menu and helped us select some of their amazing dishes and was very attentive as well. My only minor complaint is that the restaurant is so small so it felt like we were sitting on top of one another.

Food was good. I enjoyed my steak and it was coiked perfect wife steak was cook perfect too. Wanted to try something different so we had there rootbeer glazed steak special. Wife found it to be too sweet. I tried it i got more of the pepper flavor from the rootbeer. It wasnt bad but not the best thing i had. Sevice was outstanding. Atomosphere: nice and cozy , only issue i had was table of 6 across from us was really loud. Would have like to see someone who work there to ask them to lower it a little as it was valentine weekend and most of us were there with wives or girl friend trying to have a romatic evening Price: not too bad was aboyt $400 for 2 steaks 2 apps abottle of wine and dessert . Maybe just a little expensive $300 would have been better All and all i would be back

If you’re looking for one of the best steakhouse experiences in New Jersey, Toscano's Steakhouse absolutely delivers. From the moment we sat down, everything felt dialed in—from the service to the presentation to the quality of the food. But the real star of the night was the 45-day dry-aged porterhouse. Perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and packed with that deep, rich, dry-aged flavor you just can’t fake. Easily one of the best steaks I’ve had anywhere. We also ordered the bone marrow beef tartare, and it was next-level. Rich, flavorful, and beautifully balanced—it’s the kind of dish you don’t come across often, and they executed it flawlessly. The burrata cheese plate was just as impressive—fresh, creamy, and paired perfectly with its accompaniments. Every bite felt intentional and high-end without being overdone. Overall, this place is the full package: top-tier food, great atmosphere, and a staff that knows what they’re doing. You can tell they take pride in every plate that leaves the kitchen. 5 stars all day. If you’re a steak lover, this spot is a must.

Just had the time of my life there with the love of my life. Food: Flavorful, elegant presentation and portions were abundant without being excessive. Perfect combination of traditional with modern flair. Service: Servers wore dignified uniforms that added to the ambiance. Our server's demeanor was professional yet warm. Her pacing was impeccable. Atmosphere: Quintessential white tablecloth class with warm, complexion-flattering backlighting. Holiday wreaths made it festive.

The service and atmosphere here are top tier. The bartender Nic is very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is elegant yet feels like home. The food all looks amazing, however I had to give the food 4 stars because the flavor didn’t blow me away. The carbonara was solid but I was hoping for more of the classic egg yolk style, and the Brussels sprouts were decent but not super flavorful. The bread and butter was good (the butter had a flavor that reminded me of stuffing - probably sage). The girl next to me at the bar had the bone-in sirloin, and that looked amazing. All in all, this is a wonderful place for dinner in a lovely town.

Serving food lovers since 2006, Toscano is a phenomenal steakhouse in Bordentown where the executive chef combines old-world cooking with new-world flair. A cozy bar area greets customers if you want to grab a drink while waiting to be seated. They also offer upstairs seating, rounding out a welcoming and highly professional atmosphere that has stood the test of time. THE FOOD 🥖 Bread Service: The bread arrived with a tasty honey, chive, thyme, salt, and pepper butter, which was a nice touch. 🦪 Kumamoto Oysters: Ice cold and refreshing. They were complemented with cocktail sauce, watermelon mignonette, and fresh grated horseradish. 🦀 Crab Salad Special: Served in a martini glass. It featured cold, chilled crab marinated with tequila, triple sec, and lime, carefully laid on a bed of avocado mousse with an Old Bay-lined rim. Delicious and refreshing during a hot summer evening. 🥗 Tri-Color Beet Salad: A roasted beet and citrus salad with whipped ricotta and a pistachio honey vinaigrette that provided rich bites. 🥩 New York Strip: Sourced from Allen Brothers in Chicago. A showstopper with excellent crust and beef flavor. We ordered the Au Poivre sauce, which was tasty, but the steak was so good on its own that I ended up using the sauce for my sides! 🥩 14 oz Center Cut Filet: Also sourced from Allen Brothers. Tender as expected with a wonderfully executed crust. 🍷 French Bordeaux Wines: We ordered the Chateau Loudenne Medoc and the Chateau De Sales Pomerol. Both were tasty, medium-to-full-bodied, and served as excellent accompaniments to the steaks. 🐟 Tuna Special: Nicely seared tuna served over vegetables and udon noodles. 🍋 Limoncello Pistachio Tiramisu: Very light and a nice end to the meal. 🍰 Kentucky Butter Cake: Served in a cast-iron pot with vanilla ice cream. Yummy and rich. THE SERVICE ⭐️ Our server, Gene, has been with the restaurant for 8 years and provided exceptional service. He was knowledgeable about the menu and offered excellent recommendati
