Why You'll Love It

Tocco tangos across your tastebuds with flavors just begging to be washed down with your favorite vino. Authentic recipes, an international wine list, and just a tocco (touch) of Euro-chic ambiance: this is what Friday night dinner and drinks should be.

If you know Italian like we do, you know that the perfect way to judge authenticity is to taste the spaghetti carbonara. Tocco gets it just right: housemade pasta tossed with parmigiano cheese, smoked bacon, eggs, and black pepper—the flavor is all in the fresh, simple ingredients.

If Tocco’s soul is its menu of tradizionale Northern Italian favorites, its heart is the enthusiasm of owner and chef Bruno Abate. He delights in welcoming newcomers like family and remembering them the next time they visit. And trust us—one trip to Tocco is never enough.
