Greetings from Osteria Toscana!
Since 1986, we've been a Palo Alto tradition, serving you the same sauce and the same love. Located at the bottom of the historic Cardinal Hotel in downtown Palo Alto, …
This is one of thebest Italian res ive be frequenting for years. The Fondo Di Carciofo Con Gamberetti is something I crave. Their veal is also incredible - thinly sliced tender, coated with a wine sauce and smothered in artichoke and mushrooms!

I used to frequent this place in the early days and always got the Linguini vingole, so I had to order it, of course.
I thought the price was a bit exorbitant for what I thought I would be getting.
Linguine Vongole was the price of admission.
All those clams. So perfectly cooked. So many clams. The sauce. I wish they gave me bread, but I ate is all.
Lasagna was good. Not sure of the price for the portion.
Butter lettuce Salad was on point. Tasty, fresh, simple, tangy. Ohhh yumbos.

Best Italian in Palo Alto so far. Best way to experience this place is outside lunch table with a chilled wine. When you have to pickup; We always order a different item weekly. I love the Cannolini. Wife loves the lasagna. Cheers!

Too expensive for the amount and quality of food. Also, the sauce broke in the Spaghetti alla Carbonara, but that may be due to the delivery time so I wouldnt recommend ordering that dish for delivery.

First time ordering Gnocchi al Pesto . Price is steep for the portion. Will try again - order something different.
