    The Portobello Mushroom ravioli is like heaven! And if you still have room afterwards, get the tiramisu. If you check-in on foursquare your dessert is free!

    Best fish and pasta combinations in town. Best service is on weekdays when you can relax and enjoy the personal attention and socializing with Chef Maurizio and his wife Patricia.

    It is a great place for real. Maurizio Patricia and Hilary make that place best in downtown. U can trust me, Im too lazy to cook and always eat out. Drink some wine its a good list

    Food is so-so. We came at the beginning of lunch hours and had a standard lasagna and portabella ravioli. Not bad, but nothing stands out either. Service was attentive, the place was empty.

    We're from out of town but after eating at Tuscan Blu, I considered moving here. Fantastic food, awesome people. You will leave stuffed.

    Great food and great service. Everyone tries very hard. The owner(s) should be proud. The fiocchi is fantastic. Try it for sure.

    Good sauces, service, wines and desserts, but avoid seafood dishes; not fresh or quality.

    Table wine was not that great. My friend's food wasn't fantastic, although my fiocchi with cheese and pear did hit the spot. Not highly recommended, but not terrible either

    The service is really great but stay away from the steak. The cuts are not good and the meat was really tough.The home-made pasta is REALLY good though.
