The Tuscan Kitchen in Salem is 5 stars all the way! Honestly, this place is about as good as you ll get in this area, no doubt about it. This place is huge, has a fantastic building, wonderful food and a great wine cellar. Came here with a rather large party and we were seated within 10 minutes of arrival. The servers and hostesses really do a good job smiling and people pleasing. Sat down and had some delicious spicy calamari, some lobster ravioli and tiramisu for dessert. All of the dishes mentioned above were very very good and the server made sure the wine glasses were full and water was pumping through. Overall, the Tuscan Kitchen is an awesome restaurant for the patrons of Salem. Highly recommended.

I d really like to like Tuscan Kitchen, but I can t. It seems every time I go there half of the meals are very good and the other half are terrible. Their pizza (I had the meatball polpetto pizza) was terrible; extremely thin flatbread style with a lackluster (likely canned) sauce, with a tiny piece of cheese.  I love pizza (an ex NY er), but this was flavorless and boring. I ate a few pieces and gave up. My family gave me a few of their items to taste. Much better.

My daughter had the tonno (tuna) and it was reasonably good (not great, however), and my wife had the short ribs ravioli which was very good. One of my friends had a rigatoni dish with a bolognese sauce (I don t know which exact choice) and they described it as Chef Boyardi. And it really did taste that way (my wife and I tried it and felt the same way). My other friend had a steak which looked and apparently tasted great. So, I guess that inconsistent meals are what to expect.

I have given this restaurant three tries and will only eat there if I eat what I know is good-- which is sad, as I love to try new meals.

I have been to Italy dozens of times, and I would say that there is a great attempt to try to make this an Italian experience, but it misses the most important mark. Food consistency.  I hope the Executive Chef eats what she/he puts on the menu. Yes, this is NH, but this restaurant is pretty close to Boston, and at this price, we can find better here.

The atmosphere is very nice, service was pleasant, and menu extensive. I hope they make some changes. It can be a good experience.
