George C Posted March 6 #51 Share Posted March 6 I thought the Italian food in Tuscan was terrible, stick with a steak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted March 6 #52 Share Posted March 6 Food is usually very subjective. We are the ones who enjoy Tuscan. Yes we have had an occasional meal there that did not add up but then I can say the same about other cruise lines. One of our worst meals was at Chops on Royal Caribbean but we still dine there as we have also had very good meals. The only way you will know is to try it for yourself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reel Love Posted March 6 #53 Share Posted March 6 4 hours ago, Peteymil said: We were on the Silhouette in February. I have not been a huge Tuscan fan over the last few years but decided to give it a try as we were on a 10 night cruise. It was delicious and so much better than in the past. Everything we had was delicious-and the service was outstanding. So good to hear. We board the Silhouette in about four weeks and booked Tuscan Grille for DH's birthday. Understand many variables such as food is subjective, depends on the chefs, etc. but do appreciate hearing a positive comment from recent experience. Thank you for sharing! 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ggo85 Posted June 20 #55 Share Posted June 20 Not the OP, but we're just off Silhouette and ate at Tuscan twice. Service was excellent. The view can' be beat. Food was good. For us, specialty dining was included. I'm not sure it was so much better than Luminae or MDR as to pay $100 for it other than, as the OP was doing, you're looking for a memorable evening away from the bustle of the MDR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The view definitely enhances the meal if on a S class , ok M class there is no view . Unfortunately I have had very good and bad meals in Tuscan.

ZapRowsdower Posted June 21 #57 Share Posted June 21 IMO the reason to dine at Tuscan is for dry-aged prime steak, as it is the only place on a Celebrity ship where one can get dry-aged prime steak, and it is very, very good, with service to match. I personally wouldn't dine at Tuscan for any other reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeasleysMom66 Posted June 21 #58 Share Posted June 21 If you are on the Summit do NOT do it. I dined with 2 new friends and NONE of us finished our dishes. Service was slow and we all felt it was not worth the money. I have had better food and service at Texas Roadhouse or Outback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did summit in March 2023 and it was terrible both times ( it was free because of our suite ) did it again this March and it was great , been sailing celebrity a lot very inconsistent.

indy406 Posted June 21 #60 Share Posted June 21 We've been to the Tuscan on Reflection and Infinity in the last year. My advice: Only go to the Tuscan if you have an OBC you need to spend. Otherwise it's throwing away a lot of money for an average meal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NMTraveller Posted June 21 #61 Share Posted June 21 Tuscan is for the ambience and views. Not so much the food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local steakhouse performs to perfection every time. Edited June 21 by NMTraveller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted June 21 #64 Share Posted June 21 We always enjoy Tuscan. I like that you can get half portions and sample lots of different things on the menu. DH and I get half portions to share and create our own tasting menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerunner Posted June 21 #65 Share Posted June 21 I’d eat at Tuscan now before Murano. Last 2x in Murano just okay. Not worth extra at all. Tuscan has bigger variety and like mentioned half portions are always good. If Murano updates there menu might be a help, been same for so long overall. Maybe bored with it for lack of variety overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will double check before booking Murano to make sure my reservation is not the night of the Chef's Table. Our worst experience in Murano was the night of the Chef's table .. they got all the attention and we were treated as an after thought. Service was poor and for some unknown reason the food was just not as good as it normally was. I still plan to go there on our next Celebrity cruise. We will also give Tuscan a try as well. It's a 17-night cruise and I am sure there will be at least two evening meals in Luminae that we would not object to missing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epperbiker Posted June 22 #67 Share Posted June 22 This thread exemplifies that food is very subjective and tastes differ. As far as service goes, the different experiences mentioned seem to indicate that sometimes the staff may just be having a bad night, and we feel badly for those unfortunate cruisers. On our Reflection cruise earlier this month, we had amazing food, service, and wake view in Tuscan. We had eaten in Murano the night before. While the service in Murano was over the top, we definitely enjoyed our meal in Tuscan Grill much more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zitsky Posted June 23 #71 Share Posted June 23 On Eclipse the view from Tuscan was great. The food ok. It took them three tries to get me a bottle of wine. I liked Murano but my husband prefers Tuscan. On Millie since there is no Murano I booked Tuscan at a slight discount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We enjoyed the Antipasti board, Short Rib Pappardelle Ragu, Lasagna, Minestrone Soup, Burrata, Grilled Branzino, the Filet, and finally the Limoncello cheesecake, and Spumoni Donuts. The only other thing we ordered was a flatbread - it was just Ok and we would skip it next time just to save more room for dessert. Can't speak for other items. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
