Toscana Kitchen & Wine Bar

Had dinner here before going to see Hadestown at The Wharton and had a lovely experience. The location was a little hard to get to because of construction and their signage isn’t the most obvious. Parking is ample but if you’ve never been before it can be hard to realize because it’s semi hidden in a sunken lot behind the hotel/restaurant. Even at 5:15pm the parking lot was pretty packed. The restaurant had a warm and inviting atmosphere with a slight mid-century modern vibe. The wine “market” isn’t large or impressive but there is one behind the hostess stand. The bar area is actually my favorite part of the whole place (outside might have been but it’s the dead of winter). The barstools were very comfortable and they do have a couple TVs. My server/bartender was a female with dark hair

Came in for date night. Immediately greeted and sat to our seats. Very clean place, atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Food was fantastic. Compliments to our server, whom I knew from Whole Foods Market. Very knowledgeable. Restaurant manager Finn. Always met with a smile and a welcoming attitude. Last but not least, Chef Meghesh. WORLD CLASS. His food is remarkable and too pretty to eat. Plates came out hot, elegant, and on time. Kudos to him and his team back there making Lansing a treasure to dine at again. --Bruce Gage

I had no idea Toscana existed, but it instantly earned a spot on my “go back soon” list. I went for a belated Valentine’s Day dinner and I’m glad we tried it. They had a Valentine’s Day menu out, so your experience with options might vary. Food was the highlight for me. I got the bread board as an appetizer and it was definitely big portions of bread with some really good butters and oil. For my main entrée I went with the Pomodoro pasta, and it was excellent. Portion wise, it was a medium serving. Enough to feel satisfied, especially after eating half the bread board, but not enough that you will have leftovers to take home. My partner got the Alfredo pasta and it was really good too. You could tell the noodles were homemade, and the sauce was perfect in both the Alfredo and the Pomodo

came here for dinner to celebrate my birthday! our waitress kaitlyn was so kind and extremely knowledgeable. we ordered the steak, which was cooked to perfection, and the rigatoni which was also spectacular. we will 100% be back to try the other menu items!

Definitely recommend this place for a nice but a little expensive dinner. I got a wagyu flat iron with crispy potatoes and it was sooooo good the steak doesn’t just taste like meat, it was buttery and flavorful. Got our food boxed really fast so we could go the MSU game.
