Located in the heart of Oneonta, New York, Toscana Northern Italian Grill stands as a welcoming destination for those who appreciate the refined traditions of Northern Italian cuisine. Situated at 76 Chestnut St, our restaurant serves as a gathering place for the local community and visitors alike, offering an atmosphere that balances sophisticated dining with the warmth of a neighborhood establishment. We believe that the essence of Italian cooking lies in the quality of ingredients and the patience applied to traditional preparation methods, a philosophy that guides every dish emerging from our kitchen.
Our commitment to the culinary arts is reflected in our approach to the menu, which emphasizes the distinct flavors characteristic of Italy’s northern regions. Unlike the tomato-heavy profiles often associated with southern Italian cooking, our kitchen focuses on rich, creamy sauces, fresh herbs, and high-quality proteins. Whether you are joining us for a quiet weeknight dinner or celebrating a special milestone with family and friends, our goal is to provide a consistent and memorable dining experience that honors the heritage of Italian gastronomy while remaining accessible to all who walk through our doors.

My wife and I had dinner here recently and it was exceptional. There are several classic Italian dishes that are gluten free such as egg plant parm which I had, and it was excellent! The chef here clearly understands how easy it is to … More

So, I’m not one to write reviews. I ordered the ahi tuna that said it came with risotto and vegetables. I told the waitress I couldn’t eat broccoli but I was fine with anything else. The tuna was served with risotto and ONE 2mm slice of … More

The favourite menu item of the day was the duck poutine served with polenta fries. Maybe it was just that we were hungry, but the pillowy soft polenta, plus tender duck and salty cheese curds, with gravy, was a match made in heaven. Sea … More

The parking lot is scary. Once you walk in it’s beautiful clean and modern. Candle lite at your table. The service is great. He noticed all of our cues even if didn’t know we had any needs. Told us the specials from memory. The food was amazing. We can’t wait to go back and try something different. More

Toscana is definitely a fan favorite among locals, and while I’ve had some good experiences, I do think a bit more flavor would go a long way. I usually order the eggplant parm with penne noodles—everything is cooked well, but the sauce … More

I’m going to leave a five star view because the experience was good. The atmosphere was good. The service was good. The crabcakes with risotto were excellent probably better than I’ve had in Maryland. Risotto was cooked perfectly as well. … More

The menu highlights traditional Italian fare. I was initially disappointed that the restaurant couldn't make a rather simple request a reality. After speaking with the chef, our amazing waitress, Olivia shared that they were indeed able to do what I asked. The food was delicious! You definitely want to call ahead for a reservation! More
