Okay, how many people do you know that haven't dined at Taste of Tuscany (1051 Bloomfield Avenue, Clifton, New Jersey, 973-916-0700, www.tasteoftuscanyrestaurant.com)? Go ahead, list them on your fingers and toes. Okay, just your fingers then? Okay then, how about the fingers on one hand? Fun aside, chances are very good that everybody in the local area you speak with has enjoyed Taste of Tuscany, if not in Clifton then in Hackensack, or at their newer Wayne location. Two good reasons: service and food. You will always find an expertly staffed eatery and tasty cuisine, and that combination normally equals an establishment filled to capacity. A perfect example of the cuisine end is the below pictured sausage parmigiana hero ($7.25). My choice during a post-Saturday evening Mass dinner excursion, this is good stuff. Sweet sausage, nice and thick and sliced perfectly, topped with mozzarella cheese and rich, red gravy. A highly recommended selection. Not to be outdone, my daughter Stefanie ordered a sausage and broccoli rabe hero ($9.25). If you are a broccoli rabe and sausage fan -- Stefanie is, and I am certainly becoming one -- the above will satisfy you in one sitting. You may even take some home.
My wife Lucille enjoyed a meatball parmigiana hero ($7.25) Our server during our visit was Rabia, who is an ownership family member and had served us before. He was very patient as we questioned him about a variety of listed menu items, and was cordial during each visit to our table and those neighboring ours. Taste of Tuscany -- always reliable. Steve

Hands down, the best Italian restaurant in the area! The Chicken Valdostano is to die

Been going there for years. It's my husbands' and mine favorite Italian place. Never had anything there I didn't like. Chicken Valdostano is really the best.
