We had to close early tonight. But we encourage you to visit our friend Lovish’s restaurant. Amazing food from a great guy who could use your support! .latino

Any time you’re not on the Tosca patio today, you should be asking yourself: “Why am I not on the Tosca patio?”🧐🤨

Come ease your mind and give yourself the treat you deserve when you chill with our fresh iced teas or indulge in one of many delicious sandwiches.

A night of love is almost here… are you ready? ❤️✨

Join us at Bar La Tosca this Valentine’s Day for an intimate 5-course dining experience from 5–8PM on February 14th.

Here’s a little taste of what’s waiting for you: Manzo alla Vaccinara — fusilli pasta with red wine–braised beef, rich, tender, and made to savor.

The full 5-course experience is $65 per person. And if you’re in the mood for something special, Adrian’s got you covered at the bar — don’t miss the French 75. 🍸

Love, good food, and even better company… reserve your table now. 💌
