I should probably give the place another chance. Looks like I’m in the minority on this one. I should probably give the place another chance.

That's neat that they serve halal. I liked it when I went, too, and I'll probably write a more positive counter-review soon. Glad you had an awesome time there, Hijab.

I stumbled across it randomly one time, and flipped out when I found out they served Halal food. For all of the Spring 08 semester, my floormates and I at least ordered Tuscany thrice a week, and once you become regular they're really good about getting your food to you fast. The few times I've actually been to the little restaurant, the owner has been really sweet (it's a family-run thing, his brother works there too and there's always a really cute little kid hanging out who's the owner's nephew), and I've ended up having conversations with him about soccer and Zidane and stuff. Anyway I am a huge Tuscany's fan, I adore the place, and it's sad that some of you've had a bad experience with it, but give it a shot! PS: I can't live without their steak-and-cheese sandwich, and one of my floormates is obsessed with their Tiramisu.

I liked the pizza I got there--slightly more expensive that Philly's, but far superior and with a shorter line. But wasn’t the 5 hour wait awful, Chris?

I ordered the pesto turkey sandwich. it was absolutely delicious. the prices were very reasonable and the service was fast.

There was no denying that the food was wrong but the man on the phone practically yelled at me for asking them to fix it. "you're not our only customers! you'll get it in 40 min" "i don't know if you're in a bad mood or something but i'm just telling you the way things are" ok rudeness is really annoying but i can deal with it (even though i really shouldn't have to) however what i can't deal with is after waiting another hour and half having the owner admit to me that the food was never made and never sent. Again he sent out the food. Again we waited. finally 5 hours after original ordering time my boyfriend received his calzone...i still never got the chicken for my salad....

I have to tell you, I was amazed of the quality of food. Both Quantity and Quality is amazing. the staff was very friend and helpful. the place was clean. the food prices are very affordable. they have variety of choices of food and drinks. I ordered a sub my first time and a pizza the second. my second time experience was also welcoming. I highly recommand the place for its friendly staff, affordable prices, and variety of food.
