Nice Italian restaurant, we ordered a selection of pastas. Service was good, staff were very friendly and we didn't wait long at all for our food. Very nice location on the waterfront, ideal if you catch a good sunset. Pizzas looked nice too. Overall we were happy with the meal we had and found it to be good value for... More

I ordered 2 plates. Asking after having waited for 30 minutes, I was told that it was not available anymore and that the second plate was coming. After another 20 minutes (so, 50 in total) and asking 3 more times, the plate arrived. No apologies from the owner. And my wife did not get what she ordered but another plate... More

Came here on another traveller's recommendation - but they failed to mention the odour that wafts over you from time to time. We had calamari (little overcooked), sizzling prawns, seafood rice and a salad. All were excellent. Dessert was a disappointment - looked lovely on the menu but their chocolate cake based dessert was bland, with questionable quality icecream. Including... More

Me and my colleague had our dinner here in Toscani. We had Seafood Platter and were impressed with the amount of seafood they put in. The price is reasonable and it taste delicious, we seriously recommend our colleagues to stopby at this place if they happen to go to KK for business trip. The staffs are courteous, and we really...

This is a simple restaurant on the waterfront. We thought that the food was tasty and well priced. The waitress was very friendly also. Would recommend for tourists in the area looking for a good values meal on the waterfront. Also, we didn't notice any smell coming off the water, but perhaps it was a good night. More

Me and my husband walked along the whole waterfront and decided to eat at the Toscani's, very pleased that we made the right decision. Extensive menu, mostly seafood, pizza, pasta, steak dishes, but also serve asian dishes on today's special board. If we are hungry enough, we would probably go for the seafood platter, as it looks fab with reasonable... More

Visited it end of December 2010. Delicious food including sea food platter, great views and atmosphere. However suffered severe food poisoning only few hours later (most probably from eating a lot of raw lettuce), sent them a complaint, then after some time resent it, no response. This restaurant is most definitely to avoid due to low hygienic standards and appalling... More

Very well located on the waterfront, and we had prime seats on the patio for sunset. Many colourful boats in the harbour. We ordered breaded fish sticks and onion rings, basil chili stir-fried clams, and an anchovy olive pizza. All were yummy except my boyfriend had an upset stomach afterwards. It's true that sometimes a smell comes off the sea,... More

My wife and I had lunch here in May 2011. Thinking that KK is famous for fresh seafood, we ordered seafood pasta. We were rather disappointed as some of the seafood were below expectation. Cooking wise was quite ok. The restaurant has no air conditioning but the fan and breeze help a lot. It didn't feel too hot or stuffy... More

We have eaten here twice and had good experiences. Somebody mentioned above an 'unpleasant smell' this seems to be the case all along the waterfront. We ate inside with aircon. The second time we ate there the smell had gone thus we sat outside. Food is good, service good and friendly staff. Don't forget to try the Fillipino BBQ in... More
