Ristorante Tosca- 1112 F Street

I decided to try Ristorante Tosca near Metro Center this weekend. The restaurant has a really modern feeling, and there were a fair amount of people just sitting at the bar when we arrived.

I had the buffalo mozzarella with roasted bell peppers to start, and then the roasted scallops with artichoke puree. I really enjoyed my choices, and everyone else's food was excellent as well. One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to in DC.

I thought it was going to be a somewhat expensive dinner, based on the menu online. What I did not know, is that a lot of the prices on the menu are for the appetizer-sized portion. They are assuming that you'll get the starter, a pasta, a meat, etc. But if you get the "entree" size, watch out. This is a really expensive restaurant in disguise, so careful of what you order.

Highlight: when someone in the restaurant proposed- and everyone started clapping...it was straight out of a movie.

Lowlight: unexpected prices

  1. Ordinary Lady-

    Do they offer a selection of pizza pies or are we talking only pasta and antipasta mini's?

    Was the buffa moza fresh and did you have a chance to evaluate a desert menu?

    80-90 grade?
