Tuscan Tavern

My favorite finds are good strip-mall restaurants, and Tuscan Tavern exceeds expectations. Subdued and comfortable decor with just enough Italian tackiness to make one feel right at home. Entrees are scrumptious, authentic, and large enough for 2 - 3 meals. All come with a cup of chicken vegetable soup. Will definitely make a return visit and try other items on extensive menu.

Where have I been in the last 4 years! Located less than 3 minutes from my home this gem of a restaurant is amazing. You would never guess by the outside how large and elegant this restaurant is. Not by any stretch of the imagination can you say this is "typical" for Oswego. We have most of the large franchise restaurants within 5-10 minutes on either Rt. 34 or Orchard Rd. We even have a few family owned restaurants that have been around for decades that are fine. With today's farm to table trend, this is only the 3rd restaurant that I have come across that has fresh ingredients, creative menu and great presentation. We ordered appetizers and side dishes. Fell in love with the mushrooms...they are fabulous! All of the dishes we had were way above average. The desserts we took home were amazing! The staff was friendly, attentive and answered all our questions. A true hidden gem in Oswego!

We had 6 in our party. The entrees were delicious and service was good. We had several drinks with the wine pours being adequate. We also had 3 appetizers including, goat cheese, calamari and scallops. We opted out for dessert. Our bill was $360 which included the tip. My only negative comment pertains to the scallops. The appetizer was $14 and we received 3 scallops that weren't even jumbo in size. They were about a quarter size in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. I have been to numerous restaurants where if that size were served more would have come on the tray or if only 3 were served they would have been much bigger. The scallop issue prevented a 5 star rating.

Pleasantly surprised at how delicious our meal was. Steak special was amazing, and whitefish had a great sauce with it. Nice enough decor. Servers were VERY attentave. Took quite awhile for our main course to come out, but we were checked on often.
