• Italian • San Rafael
We are centrally located off Hwy. 101 in San Rafael, across for the famous Frank Lloyd Wright Marin Civic Center. La Toscana is a family owned and operated Italian restaurant and bar located in Marin County. It was established in 1985 by Paolo Mori, his wife, Marilyn, and Michele Quilici. The owners all grew up in Lucca, Italy and immigrated to the U.S. in the late 1950s. They wanted to create an atmosphere that reminded them of home – a place where locals would gather to eat, meet friends and family and celebrate with food and wine as every Italian family does. Chef and co— owner Giovanni Racanello joined La Toscana in 1986. Paolo and Marilyn’s daughter, Laura Mori Riella, and youngest son, Michael Mori, joined the La Toscana team in 1992 and 2002, respectively. Paolo loved to make people feel welcome and, just like all the Moris, enjoyed his food and wine and loved to see others do the same. This is the proud tradition that La Toscana carries on.

    We needed a place at the last minute to accommodate a six-top on Christmas Eve. Flores was the only reservation I could find. I did not have high expectations. Frankly I imagined a glorified Taco Bell. Au contraire! The food was excellent, full of flavor, unafraid of spice, from a wide-ranging and interesting menu. There are half a dozen dishes I'd like to go back and try. Service was devoted and thoughtful. Flores has some ambition. It elevates a cuisine that too often stalls out at burritos. Pleasant surprise all the way around.
