Beautiful location and nice atmosphere.I am not difficult when it becomes to food but the food that we ordered was really tasteless and doesn’t worth the money that we payed. For the same amount of money we can eat the best restaurant in Abu Dhabi. I left upset from the restaurant because the quality of food was really bad. The salad was average nothing special about it. The aubergine was well cooked but very strong tomato sauce. The Risotto was tasteless. The meat was the same. I don’t recommend this place and will never come back

My experience here was amazing. I really enjoyed every bit of it. The place is neat and clean. It was oozing with class. I really enjoyed having lunch on the terrace with a partial view of the sea.The food tasted amazing. We enjoyed every last bit of it. Some dishes could be elevated more, but the overall food experience was very good.I would definitely come back.

Super, I enjoy the most delicious gluteen free rusitto, I stayed in St. Regis with half board. The dinner in this restaurant is one the best experience in my life. What a nice quiet music they select, the place with the music make it as a dream on top of a cloud.

My wife visited this place with her friends on the International Womens Day and it was full of surprises! They were gifted roses by the staff. The cherry on top was a never ending chefs special complimentary dishes, starters and soup which all came as a surprise! The complimentary stuff was more than their actual order!!! The moment they were about to order dessert, the staff served each of the lady with a platter of lemon flavor dessert which again was complimentary! Wonderful experience in terms of food, staff, ambience and hospitality.

Villa Toscana was absolutely a delightful restaurant! The servers were over the top!Domenico is a fantastic server. He was very knowledgeable about everything on the menu. His attention to detail and great personality were over the top!Maicol and Zeljana Despotovic were equally delightful, full of knowledge and absolutely some of the best employees at Villa Toscana! I would definitely love to go back on my next visit to the UAE.Domenico, Maicol, Zeljana and your Magnificent Chef; thank you for creating priceless memories for me and my family!

One of the best Italians in Abu Dhabi. Service was great. The host was super welcoming. The waiter was very attentive. The food was super tasty. We fought over the last bites of steak and risotto. LOVED IT!

Review №22

Charming and beautiful decor and ambiance. Great outdoor seating weather permitting. Food is average. Nothing outstanding. My starter (grilled tuna) was bland with no taste. My main (rib eye) was ok. Service was poor. I ordered sides (asparagus) which never came, I asked for broccoli and the waiter said he will check. He didn’t and forgot to bring it. The waiter had no info on the items and could not help what to order. Water finished and the bottle was removed without asking if we needed more water. That said, I have to admit that the restaurant manager (I think his name was Palmieri) was extremely helpful and pleasant.

We We visited the restaurant for my friend promotion celebration.We were attended to by Mr Michael, who made the evening all the more pleasant with his excellent service. On the food side, an on house starters have been served, it was an amazing and testy. We also enjoyed the sea food risotto and the baby chicken. For dessert, although we did not order anything since we were already full, we were served with complimentary desserts (molten chocolate cake) which were all magnificent. We would love to visit again and be served by Mr Michael for his outstanding service.

We headed to the Villa Toscana Italian restaurant at the @stregisabudhabi to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, just the two of us.We were immediately greeted by friendly faces and a warm, cosy ambiance.I ordered a bottle of Chianti which proved to be an inspired choice. It had a wonderful bouquet and was not too overwhelming.The Mrs had some mildly spiced prawns and I went with the eggplant parmigiana to get the ball rolling. The flavours were both delicate and appetising.We then moved on to our mains with a lobster ravioli for the Mrs and a marinated ribeye for my carnivorous self. Once again, we were seriously impressed at the quality of the ingredients. The freshness was extremely apparent and both were perfectly seasoned. Not once did we even think about an extra sprinkling of salt and pepper.Dessert was an experience in itself. The Mrs ordered a Hazelnut Semifreddo and I accepted the house recommendation which was a chocolate fondant. If I had to choose one word to describe both desserts, it would be SINFUL! We both dont take much sugar and as such are usually disappointed with the desserts served at restaurants but not this time. They were both not overwhelmingly sweet and this let the flavours of the base ingredients shine through. Magnificent!We were then treated to a special house creation - a Magnum Tiramisu. All I can say is Mammamia!!!!!! I of course decided to elevate it even further by ordering two glasses of Disaronno Amaretto.🤤This turned out to be a meal we shall not soon forget. We will be back!A special shout out to head waitress Zalgiana and Salman who saw to our every need and engaged us in friendly and lively conversation.This place has it all. Great food and wonderful service with an ambience to boot.You must give it a try

I do recommend everyone who wants to celebrate an anniversary or birthday with their loved once to come to this place.

Had the Chefs Table menu, thoroughly enjoyed the wine (excellent recomendation), course wise - everything was perfect. Quality of food was very high. Foie Gras, burrata salad, gnocci, truflle ravioli, tenderloin, mushroom pot pie, mille feuille all individually worth a trip. Good Job , great experience!!

We celebrated our anniversary there. While booking they asked me if the dinner is for a special event, and i told them that its our anniversary. They decorated our table with pink rose petals, gave us complimentary passion fruit drinks (not in the menu), gave us a small cake with note Happy Anniversary, also complimentary. We loved the sea food dishes and shrimps. Highly recommended for sea food lovers. Overall they made us delighted on our Anniversary dinner. :D

We did had such a perfect evening at the Villa Toscana. We are staying at the St. Regis Hotel for vacation with our baby boy Carl and it was really the best decision we could make. The Villa Toscana is a restaurant which provides tables inside and outside as well. We made a reservation for an inside table and they did set up 4 seats so we could decide to sit close to AC or a bit more far away. They offer a range of bread and serve it at the table in the beginning. The food comes quick and is really delicious and authentic. They even have homemade Pasta! You really do have the feeling you are somewhere in Italy. A special thank to Marina and Zeljana who took care of us so lovely. I dont remember where we had such a great service in the past view months. You really take it to the next level!

We love going to this restaurant. From the time we enter to the time we leave, we are treated like family and made welcome like honored guests. Gaius was our waiter and he took the time to answer questions and although he made suggestions, he never pushed any item onto us. Zeljana was the manager on hand and she walked around to make sure all her guests were comfortable and satisfied with the service and food. I highly recommend Villa Toscana for families and couples, anybody who enjoys excellent food and superb service would enjoy going here.

Villa Toscana has great service and the ambience was nice, the music helped with giving an italian feeling to the whole place. When it comes to the food it was very simplistic and the set menu that was provided was relatively ok. I wouldve loved to see pasta instead of pizza being served in the set menu. The parmigiano eggplant and the mushroom truffle rissoto were amazing but the rest of the food had no unique taste to it.

Staff were able to move us to outdoor table to enjoy the beautiful view during the dinner and staff Leena and Manish was very attentive and friendly .We ordered Milk fed veal chop Milanese style and Rib eye steak, the meat was wonderfully done. We end our dinner by the Classic Tiramisu and they offer us Magnum di Tiramisu as a surprise for my birthday. We will definitely come back again to this lovely restaurant.

Sorry I dont know what the others are talking about here, but this was perhaps the worst Italian food I have ever had. The risotto was so salty , returned it immediately, may be the cook put salt twice, we ordered penne as a replacement and it was way undercooked. The fried seafood entre was average and pizza was nothing better than a dominos!!
