Finer Dining: Toscano’s


Located right next to Lui Lui Restaurant, Toscano’s offers the best Italian cuisine in Athens. I first came across this restaurant when accompanying a friend on a restaurant review. Though the ambiance is hardly laudable, one taste of the Chicken and Brie was enough to bring me back three times in the next month and a half.

Think that’s a bit excessive? Toscano’s great selection of daily specials is enough to bring you back seven days a week. Mondays and Tuesdays are Spaghetti and Meatball Nights, where visitors are treated to a heaping portion of pasta and juicy meatballs for only $5.99. Wednesday offers Family Pasta Night, with complete meals (salads, bread, and second helpings all included) for families of two through 5 people (prices range from $10.99 to $22.99). On Thursdays, try “A Tour of Italy for 2” — Manicotti, Ravioli Florentine with Alfredo, and Linguini with Meat Sauce, Salad, bread and 1 Dessert to split for $19.95. Fridays bring Friday Happy Hour, where $5.00 buys you a pitcher of Bud Light or Miller Lite to wash down delicious ½ priced appetizers from 5:00pm to 7:30pm.

If you’re hungry for a quick lunch, Toscano’s also offers a great pasta lunch buffet for $5.95. Stock up on as much pasta, sauces, salad, soup, bread, fruit and other offerings until you want from 11:30-1:30pm.
