Tuscan Tavern

So happy to finally have a good date-​night spot in Oswego.
The service was fast and friendly, the ambiance was warm and inviting. The food was absolutely delicious.
Support this local place!!!

We have been to Tuscan Tavern twice now. The second time was what we needed to win us over as a fan of this local spot. The first time was right after they opened and long story short I got the wrong food even after asking the server whether I was given the right dish. Fast forward a few months to last night. First off its a great looking place and a welcome change for local fare with upscale casual atmosphere. Both times we were here the attention to service and always paying attention to the table was totally on point. Last night we had a server named Dominick who was awesome. Knew a lot about the food and how it was prepared which made it a great experience. We brought our 5yr old son and Dominick was nice enough to bring his food out early so he could get started eating.
We had the brushetta which was one of the best we have ever eaten. He explained to us how they roast garlic and rub the toast prior to salting and topping. He told us about the whole process which was cool. They seem to take the approach of not trying to overkill the ingredients that they top it with. He mentioned that his dad the owner made it for us. Not sure if this is their typical version or not but I hope so. It was brilliant. .
I had the rigatoni carbonara with panchetta and shaved cheese… it was awesome. Really great flavor from the pancetta. My only question is the menu says it’s home made rigatoni, but I frankly could not tell. I have house made rigatoni at another place we go to and the texture it much different. Regardless it was very tasty here.
My wife had the chicken asparagus with garlic mashed potatoes… The sauce they use on it was incredible… Talk about wanting to lick the plate… Very very good. We also had their chicken vegetable soup… Yeah it was also Incredible.
Long story short, they have won us over after a rocky first visit… Very happy they are here and take their customer experience so seriously. Service is key… They got it.
