The Standard caesar salad with the blackened shrimp, prime steak rolls, and the table bread with roasted tomatoes were truly amazing! Not to mention Rafael and all the staff being so accommodating for our friend's birthday (always a bday celebration here ) . We made a bit of a drive but it was worth every mile and penny! Decor was sexy for a date night, birthday or just to celebrate, YOU! I definitely recommend!

Tuscan Prime is one of my favorite restaurants to visit in Annapolis. The food is always on point! My favorite dish has to be the short rib bolognese. It's delicious and filling. The cream of crab soup and the brussel sprouts are great too. The drinks are delicious and strong. Service is A1! The bartenders are so friendly and attentive. The vibe is definitely perfect for date night. Can't wait to go back!

After the movies, my friend told me to pick a place to eat for my bday in Annapolis and this spot was on my bucket list. It was literally down the street and honestly other restaurants did not catch my eye. Parking was easy to find near (maybe because it was an off and on rainy day). The outside of the restaurant (located on the corner) was absolutely beautiful. Luckily, it wasn't packed and we didn't need a reservation that day. The manager was so nice and had great conversation while a table was being setup for us. Originally we wanted a booth but sadly they all were taken so we were seated in a cute area by the bar. Honestly, this was better than the booth IMO. The decor and aesthetics inside were breathtaking and incredibly decorated and designed. From upside down roses hanging in the ceiling, black, red, white, etc colors popping throughout the place, beautiful unique artwork to the dimmed semi but perfectly lit lighting all around. I'm still in awed in all the details this place had. BREAD w. SPAGHETTI OIL & GARLIC *This starter was delicious and we just kept wanting more. Bread was toasty yet super soft in the middle and the oil was different but soooooo good that we kept refilling our basket. ROSES ARE RED **This cocktail was freaking cute, it had a sculpted red rose tea ice that had glitter all throughout. This had gin and lemon sour, a mixed of flavors you didn't think you fall in love with. It also came with a separate glass of pink sweet juice and I believe it was champagne. YUMMY!!! CEASAR SALAD ***This side salad was so good, fresh and perfect prior to our meal, I added onions and avocado to my salad which wasn't an issue and made me happy. MAIN ENTREE "MARCOS PAPPARDELLE w. LOBSTER" ****So as always my indecisiveness took over me esp since there were so many good options. I ended up letting our waiter decide and he gave me 2 good choices and I finally decided to go with Marcos Pappardelle but added Lobster for my protein. This was sooooo delicious and they did not skimp on the lobster, it was a great amount all throughout the pasta dish. Only thing, I wish it came with a veggie. Tbh I could barely eat half so I saved the rest for my work lunch which tasted even better the next day. BDAY ICECREAM w. SPRINKLES *****I was already full but when this was brought out with the sparklers, it added the glitter to the whole experience literally lol. It was good and not heavy but rather refreshing and cooling. Our waiter DURANT was hands down AMAZING and a pleasure meeting. His attentiveness, patience and professionalism was above and beyond. He delivered service with a SMILE the whole time we were seated which was a plus. On top of that, he brought out a bday Icecream and even singed as if he didn't already do enough. We need more waiters like him in this world. Overall, this was beyond my expectations and I'm so happy that I was finally able to experience this spot after wanting to for over a year. I will definitely be back sooner than later.

I wanted to post an updated review because this place really deserves it! This is actually my third time coming here. I had bought my best friend and their family after visiting the first time for my birthday. This third visit was actually with my girlfriend and her family for Father's Day. We arrived around the time of our reservation mid-afternoon and initially we wanted to sit outside but the sun was blaring in our direction, so we decided to sit inside. The decor as always was absolutely stunning but it almost has a different vibe in the daytime versus the night time. We were seated promptly by our server whose name escapes me now sadly it started with a D though. He was great and bought out the drinks first that we ordered and then took our food orders. We had the special occasion of Father's Day celebration but they didn't do anything special like a free dessert or anything. We also had some special appetites as one person is extremely picky with what they like to eat, but this was the first time I had heard them say the food was absolutely delicious as my girlfriend's mom is usually very particular about what she likes. I was saddened because this is one of my favorite restaurants (huge fan) but recently I had my wisdom tooth pulled so my options were limited to only soups and soft foods but I would have loved to get my usual surf and turf which consists of steak medallions and lobster, however I opted for the safe play the salmon which was still very tastefully done. My girlfriend got Bolognese pasta. Her sister got steak and noodles, meatballs, mashed potatoes and a few other things from the rest of the family. I got a non-alcoholic cucumber drink since I couldn't have anything that would agitate the extraction area but it was very good. We then ended the night with dessert and got the beignet wheel that comes on this Ferris wheel style tray and I got the Gilded Rose red velvet cake that was moist and delicious with silver icing. Decor great, service great, food exceptional, overall experience top notch. I definitely will have to revisit when I am feeling better but I highly recommend this and I tell everyone I know and often bring them if we have the time and can make the journey as we live an hour away but it's absolutely worth it every time. The bathrooms are also very tastefully done. I always try to get shots of the decor in there because it's just so epic but respectfully so, I wait until there's no one in there, common courtesy and privacy reasons. I'm still a huge fan of the place and rightfully so they have a great experience overall down to a science. Also shout out to my guy Lee, I don't know if he was there that day but we would love to have him the next time we come. Sincerely - DeAndre' aka The Supa Fly IT Guy

I popped into this beautiful restaurant on a whim and I was happy that I did. I happen to pop in on their Saturday Brunch. I didn't even know that they offered brunch. I was in for a treat. The ambiance and decor is so beautiful at this restaurant. It's romantic , chic and hues of red rose, black and white all over the building . Truly something out of a chic magazine. Whoever designed this restaurant deserves all the respect lol it's truly fascinating. I would love to host an event here. They offer an array of Italians cuisine ranging from pastas, sea food towers, grilled chicken, oysters, and other Italian favs . The prices were decent not too expensive. Perfect for a special occasion, date night , or business meeting . They offer gluten free pasta options, plenty of salads and side options , soup, etc . Something for everyone . My server Alysen was great . She was friendly , attentive, and seemed like she truly enjoyed her job. I had a game plan when I first got there as far as ordering but they have separate menu for brunch. Of course so ordered from the brunch menu, best of both worlds. I enjoyed a mocktail that consisted of a mix of pomegranate juice, ginger beer, club soda and fresh lime. Similar to a mule. I loved the Tuscan Omelette- 3 egg omelette , with Italian cheese, Italian marinated grilled chicken breast ( so good) sautéed red peppers and grilled onions. So so so so delicious, the flavors in this dish were divine. Instead of the breakfast potatoes I opted for their signature truffle fries and oh my goodness, delicious and mouthwatering. The omelette was a little watery on my plate , but I was able to rescue my truffle by pouring out the juice on an extra plate that was at my table, which saved the day lol. If you are wanting a fancy brunch spot that offers a variety of menu options and beautiful dining experience , Tuscan Prime is the way to go. Can't wait to go back with my crew for brunch or dinner.

A year later and not a bad visit yet! Ive been able to try more of the menu, brought my significant other, my family, and friends and everybody has been VERY pleased. Service remains consistently good.. recently been waited on by Sean the last couple times who is a sweetheart. I will comment that my visit yesterday, i was brought the wrong drink, wasn't brought utensils till asked and also (not the waitstaff's fault), when i requested outdoor seating, none of the tables has been wiped so it was filthy with pollen when i was seated. All of these issues were quickly and amenably rectified. I was the first customer of the evening so ill chalk it up to that lol So far, I have REALLY enjoyed the skirt steak, Marco's Pappardelle with blackened chicken, the short rib pasta, lobster ravioli, the Caesar salad with the spicy dressing. Only underwhelming app has been the calamari. The cocktails have all been delicious.. the hot tea cocktail, espresso martini, Roses are Red, and Dozen Roses.. there are more that i plan on trying. The beignets are EXCELLENT. Has definitely become one of my favorite restaurants in the area.

Tuscan Prime was okay. I saw all the hype about it on social media (Instagram & TikTok) and I was so excited to try to it! As you see on the socials, the decor is beautiful and it is very aesthetically pleasing inside. When you walk in there are two chairs in front of a beautiful "Caio Bella" sign. There is also black and white (with hints of red) decor all over the restaurant. The website mentions free valet parking - however when we went there was no valet and we ended up parking in a nearby parking lot. We had a reservation at 7:30, and we were seated almost immediately when we walked in. We were seated in a booth - which was exceptionally comfortable and had VERY comfortable pillows. Our server greeted us shortly after we were seated. Overall, the service we received was amazing. Our server was kind and took him time to provide thoughtful recommendations. We never were stuck looking for our server, as he stopped by our table often to make sure we were content and satisfied. For a starter, my fiancé ordered a side Ceasar salad. The salad itself was fine, but it was nothing spectacular about it. For entrees, I ordered the Petite Filet and my fiancé ordered the ribeye. We also ordered a side of creamed spinach and truffle fries (all sides are shareable). The Petite Filet was good and very tender. I ordered a bacon butter to accompany my filet and honestly, it was not that good. I don't know what exactly I expected from it, but the best way I could describe the bacon butter is like hardened bacon grease with bacon bits. My fiancé's ribeye was not that great either. Temperature wise it was cooked to perfection, however, taste wise it was very bland. The creamed spinach was pretty good - although it was alot more cheesy than it was creamy. The truffle fries were really good and the portion size was very large. For cocktails, I started with a "Kiss my Henny" which is basically a strawberry Henny. That cocktail was GREAT. It was the perfect mix of sweet and strong. For my second cocktail, I ordered the "50 Shade of Red" in the Stiletto. The drink is pour at the table out of a glass stiletto -- but you do not get to drink out of the stiletto and the stiletto does not stay on the table. The best way to describe the "50 Shades of Red" is NASTY. It tastes just like pickle juice. Luckily, our server allowed me to switch out the "50 Shades of Red" for a "Roses are Red" cocktail which was pretty good. The "Roses are Red" cocktail was sweet and aesthetically pleasing with red rose ice cube.
