What a wonderful experience from beginning to end. From making the reservations over the phone, Joella was professional and very friendly and accomodating and went out of her way to make us feel comfortable with the menu and any food restrictions. The service was fantastic. The food was delicious and I loved that the service was perfectly timed, not too in your face, and not a disappearing act either. Very well balanced and it felt so inviting. Thank you Joella and team at Toca for a fantastic and memorable birthday!

There is a lovely quiet atmosphere to the restaurant and a great place for a romantic dinner. Dinner mains were brazino fish, pastas and osso bucco. Each was perfectly prepared and exceptionally tasty. I personally had a pasta stuffed with wild boar. It was perfect. Our server, Ali, provided impeccable service throughout the meal. Edo, the sommelier, has really deep knowledge of the wine list and provided outstanding recommendations. The food and service is always outstanding. You always feel so welcome and valued.

Meal was excellent and reasonable priced. Service was great. The five of us sat in a cosy booth and was able to have a great conversation without having to scream over loud noises. Waitress was very knowledgeable of the items on the menu and her suggestions were very tastie. Will go back.

We had the grilled octopus and carpaccio for starter. Octopus was just not grilled enough, serve with peas that leave a dry taste in mouth. Good but not for the price it was sold.
Risotto signature dish should be remove from their signature list. The parmesan they use is leaving a strong after taste. Swordfish is good but nothing more.
It was pricy and the food wasn’t at the level. Service was good and the place is cozy. It’s looking more like a nice hotel lobby than a fine diner restaurant.

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant and wish I was able to give it 2 different point ratings. If I could I would give it 5 stars for the food and 3 for the service and room design. Keep in mind when you read this review that this restaurant is located in a Ritz Carlton hotel so it needs to be up to a certain standard. As I said the food was delicious. The filet mignon melts in your mouth, the whipped potatoes are light as air and the presentation of the food was artistic. Now for the service. I can't fault the wait staff as they were very attentive. The hostess was another thing. We were guests at the hotel and I made that known when we asked for a table. We were informed that we could only dine there if we could be done by 6:30 as they were fully booked. This would give us 1 hour and 15 minutes which would be fine by me. It would actually be the kitchen's responsibility to make it fast enough for us to eat it. She also had an attitude as well. I noticed an entire section of tables which were fully dressed and I said, "What about all of those tables?" She said that they were not using that section this evening. The tables were literally 20 feet from the other tables and you are telling me that the server could not walk an extra 20 feet? So we were seated at a long extremely uncomfortable bench and the tables were too close together. We were stuck beside a very obnoxious American couple who were dring heavily and had way too much to say. The icing on the cake was that all of the supposed booked tables remained empty the entire time we were there. I understand that people make reservations and that they need to honored but when there is an entire section of tables that are dressed and ready to use I believe that guests of the hotel should be accommodated. Not how I expected a guest at a Ritz Carlton should be treated.

Service was excellent.
Menu is pretty limited and our three Meals were kind of meh - very non-memorable, although pasta itself was cooked to perfection. The carbonara is a cool show when they prep it in the huge block of cheese but… that meant it was served barely warm.
Bread was also very good.

Dear 7655regina,
Thank you very much for having taken the time to share you valuable feedback and for recognizing our service. I am terribly sorry you felt our menu was limited. Everything is freshly made and prepared a la minute which limit the selection. However we regularly adjust our menu so our loyal guests can enjoy a different menu when they return. I am very sorry to read about your Carbonara pasta made in the parmesan cheese wheel but served under temperature. We will review the process with our chef and team to make sure this dish is served to the right temperature.
Again, thank you very much for your constructive feedback
Best Regards,
Marc L. , Restaurant Manager

Went here for our 10 year wedding anniversary. Evening started off a bit concerned, as it took them a long time to sit us and get us our first drinks and the menus! We ordered burrata for a starter, then a pasta each (ravioli and carbonara) and then we shared the porchetta as a main. The buratta was a bit underwhelming, Not liquidy or rich. However the rest of the of the food was excellent, especially the carbonara and the porchetta. Then they provided a fantastic desert for our anniversary. Delicious food, and after the initial hiccup, excellent service. Defiantly will go back.

My boyfriend took me here for a birthday dinner . Thinking the Ritz I expected a lovely lobby and upscale glitzy type resto a nice treat for my birthday.
I was underwhelmed by the lobby and the restaurant. It was a very bistro type feel similar to many other around town no wow.
We were seated in a large booth that was not cosy. My partner moved the settings over as we felt the need to talk louder due to the distance.
The cocktail menu was good and the wine list as expected. Nothing on the menu really jumped out at me. I decided on lamb as my main dish saving room for dessert. They were good to accommodate my garlic allergy. Which you would expect from chefs of this caliber. It was a rack of lamb done medium with a few sauteed asparagus and jus on the side. The jus was tasty and the lamb was seasoned well but by no means a $48 main. Very underwhelming I found and easy to find in many other restos. My partner opted for the Caeser salad to start and a filet well done.
The salad wasdescribed as ok and my partner ate only 1/4 of it again lack lustre . The filet was a true disappointment my partner eats his meat well done ( I know but..)and most establishments can present a tasty still moist steak for him. Not here sadly it was dry and burnt. Again a disappointment for price and caliber this restaurant should be .
We looked at the dessert menu and after the meh mains decided to go somewhere else. Sadly the house made limoncello and chocolate they gave us at the end were kinda the best part.
I would think twice before coming here. The food nor the ambience were a wow. There are much better options for half the price . We found one for dessert.

I had a event for here a few weeks ago --> From the initial call to the end of the event, I was well taken care of by the TOCA team. It was super important (to me) that my guests were well taken care, and after the event my guests has nothing but rave reviews. The service was impeccable, the restaurant is stunning, the food is excellent. Simply first class service. I will defiantly keep TOCA at the top of my list for any future high profile lunches.

Enjoyed a bday dinner hosted by sister in law who frequents Toca but our first experience. Well it was an excellent one. Room and atmosphere comfortable. Staff (server was Edo a seven year veteran) was outstanding. Very knowledgeable even though it was a new menu. Had tortellini to start and shared a mammoth rib eye while our spouses had full deconstructed lobster. Wines were first rate Italian and desserts were good and not over bearing. Not pushed to finish meal though restaurant busy (took long time for appetizers to arrive but restaurant made up for delay). Highly recommend

We were tired one night of our stay at the Ritz so chose to eat on site at Toca. Glad we did! While pricey, excellent service and food quality. Italian wine list was very good. Carpaccio appie was divine. Flank steak recommended. All food was fresh and portion size was perfect.

As per the title. Tried it as a late breakfast... almost lunch. Very good welcome and service. Tidy and well furnished room. Menu with not too many dishes but I must say clear in layout and with good raw materials.
A pleasant place that I always recommend, bearing in mind that abroad I don't prefer trying Italian places... :)
