We had a fantastic meal at Ristorante Toscana at the Toscany Marketplace, 1990 Route 70 East, Cherry Hill, NJ, 08003 (856-489-7373).
Our server, Ashley, did a fantastic job, although she was also working a wedding reception! Wow!
We enjoyed lots of bread with oil and asked for extra helpings of the breadsticks. Yummy!
Appetizers
Jay had the Tuscan White Bean soup, which was very tasty and filling.
Ken and Louella each ordered the Crispy Fritto Misto, which was fried calamari, artichoke and zucchini that came with two dipping sauces. Couldn't stop eating!
Geri ordered a salad.
No one else had an appetizer, anticipating large portions of entrees. They were not disappointed.
Entrees
Jay always likes to try the specials - one of the Creations of the Day was Lobster and Shrimp Risotto - tender lobster tail with shrimp and asparagus. A portion went home for the next day's lunch.
Ken had the Tuscan BBQ Kebab, which came with sirloin and chicken, seasoned to perfection.
Chanelle and Berlinda each had the Amarena Duck which was crispy. Both were extremely pleased.
Tatiana thoroughly the Seafood Manicotti, which both Jay and Ken want to try next time. Creamy, flavorful and delicious!
Louella had the Calamari Gamberi Livornese, which was spicy and flavorful. Half went home for later, so she could enjoy dessert.
Geri enjoyed the Crab Crust Tilapia, which came with a fried risotto ball with cheese.
Roscoe enjoyed the Linguine with clams.
Mike had the Veal Poscana. He was happy with his choice.
Dessert
Jay enjoyed pumpkin cheesecake with a scoop of vanilla gelato.
Ken actually had dessert! The apple torte with vanilla gelato...
