Review of The Tuscan Grille by Visitor from Palm Coast
I've always loved the Tuscan Grille but I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed this time. That said, I know we will give them another chance sometime. The veal marsala was tasty but the sauce was very watery. I love the mushrooms but my hubby hates them so we were very surprised when his side pasta came with marsala sauce even though he ordered a red sauce. The waitress started to argue that he did order that but finally backed off when he said no way, he hates mushrooms so how could he? That was a little frustrating. She did ensure his dish was straightened out.

My spouse and I had a great dinner here last night. We started with exquisite fresh steamed clams.... so yummy we used the fresh Italian bread to get the broth left in our bowls! Salads were plentiful, nice fresh greens which even included chick peas. Our meals were amazing- brought home enough for our lunch today. Our waitress, Taylor, was so sweet, and efficient- got the order perfect the first time, didn't "hover" like some places do, which annoys me.... et was always available when needed. The owner stopped at our table to see how our meals were....really a 5 star place.... great night.

It was my birthday, a party of six and I was excited, I couldn't wait to try the Tuscan Grille... I was so disappointed! I had the Lobster Ravioli, the cream sauce had no taste. Others had the spaghetti w/meatball and sausage (1 of each)... Horrible! The sauce came out of a can, heated and severed on the plate. The meatball and sausage were terrible, not fresh, but frozen and poor quality. The food was not hot. The fresh bread was the best thing severed. They did not have a good desert selection (a guest said "Duncan Hines tastes better) The waitress was good! The atmosphere was also OK, I would rather see white table clothes and white napkins.
I would not recommend the Tuscan Grille b/c their food is not authentic... It is out of a can and not a high quality! For the price and the hassle / suggestion to make a reservation it is a waste of time and disappointment! Most if not all of the Italian Restaurants in the Palm Coast and Flagler Beach area all offer the same menu.... Zero variety and they all use the same canned sauce!

We have been to the Tuscan Grill before for both lunch and dinner, maybe five or six times total. Each time has been excellent but this afternoon's lunch was really perfect: table looking out over the ocean, crusty hot bread with terrific dipping oil, salads were fresh, crisp and tasty. My husband had the tilapia which was very tasty but my barramundi was ridiculously good! It was a lovely white fish with a lemon caper sauce. We had had the barramundi once before when it was on special and we both really liked it but I think it was even better this time. We both ordered angel hair pasta with red sauce as our side. The only problem with our meal was that it was so additively flavorful that we cleaned our plates and nearly finished the ample side of pasta as well, eating much more than practical (or comfortable!)
The service was friendly, warm and attentive without being intrusive. The wine list is extensive and reasonable in price and the ambiance in the restaurant was just plain cozy.
Tip- lunch and dinner menus are basically the same with some early bird options on the back, but we prefer going there for lunch just because it's a little quieter. Reservations are suggested for dinner.

This was my first time going to Tuscan Grille for dinner. I've been twice for lunch and I can't say enough good things about this place. So So Good! I ordered the Chicken Franchese while my husband ordered the Lasagna. Both dishes were perfect, we had leftovers because the bread and oil mixture was too good to pass up. I can't wait to return again!

Always a great experience. Have had the opportunity to go to your other restaurant and find the casual dining at the waters edge wonderful. Keep up the great work and looking forward to entertainment at your new location.

Definitely a tale of two meals. But first, parking: As is the case at most Flagler Beach restaurants, parking is abysmal and limited. The inside of the restaurant is wonderful. My chicken parm rates as some of the best I've ever had the pleasure of eating. My girlfriend, however, was underwhelmed by the meat ravioli. The meat sauce received a high score, but the meat inside the ravioli was quite dry and unappealing. Service was efficient; seating could use some tweaking though. A bit too close to a birthday celebration for my taste. I would suggest this place though and certainly try them again... but be mindful not to have the meat ravioli.

Went there for lunch ( 4 of us) July 31 on a recommendation. This place is the best kept secret in Flagler county. Beginning with the fresh bread which I could eat as a meal the experience was wonderful. Our waitress and her service was half the experience. The food was unlike any other I have had in Flagler. I will take all my out of town visitors to this establishment and know they will be impressed.

I do not write reviews that often but after this experience I have to do this. This place is so noisy that you need to wear earmuffs. The beer was not even close to being cold. Our waitress was a rude rock... no customer appreciation skills. Big plate of olive oil and 3 cheesy pieces of bread... what gives here? Entrees were so-so and chicken almost under cooked. Was not impressed and at this $$ will not be going back. Did I mentioned it was noisy!!

There were six of us that went for dinner. The bread was to die for and the food was excellent. We all ordered different dishes and did a little tasting of each person's order. What's new, if your Italian, this is common. Mike came over to the table and made us feel right at home. I had the soup and it had a wonderful flavor. The salad's were very good also. Then came the tray of desserts, all homemade. What a delicious selection. I had the coconut cake; Very moist. Would definitely go back again.
Very busy place, reservations a must.
