Ate a salad for lunch on my break from work today that made me so happy that I felt compelled to write a review because Ive loved this place for over three years and if it were to ever shut down, I would simply starve to death. Best tuna salad Ive ever had. Sandwiches are well priced and huge. Easily the best lunch spot in the neighborhood. Moved to Logan this year but still work nearby and my boyfriend begs me to bring home sandwiches for dinner regularly. 11/10
Wow....just sensational! Splendid and delicious! Such great items like dough and ravioli. Great pastas, soup and amazing salads. Will return
Very cute place with a nice back patio. Love the homemade pastas. The sauce of the cacio e Pepe needs some work/more flavor. Other than that, this place is fantastic
Excellent food. Everything is fresh and the owner is so friendly.
This place is incredible. Their chicken salad sandwich (fancy Nancy) is honestly other worldly. Also, I’ve never had pasta at a restaurant where you can actually taste that it is fresh made. Desserts are great too. Admittedly it’s a tad pricey, but it’s always worth it.
I found this place to be real friendly. I had a Wells Street Sub in here. They make it really well. The sandwich is easy to eat. Its not messy and loaded up with a bunch of sauces that you dont need. Its just straight ahead good food. And nice people that work in here and probably own the place. they asked me if I wanted to take it home or eat it outside. I asked if I could eat it inside and she said I could. So they had on the music at a reasonable volume. And I like that. And its right off of the Brown line maybe buy a block or so. and its near the number 80 Irving Park in the 50 Damon buses. So its convenient to get to.
The food is fantastic and price well. The only thing better than the food is the service. Each time Ive been in there she has been friendly and taken time to talk to everyone in the store.Today I had the chicken salad sandwich. It was quite tasty but it was a little less savory than I had expected because of I believe the grapes that were in the salad. With that said after the first bite of surprise I enjoyed the sandwich to the very last bite
I love Tuscan Hen and i have been meaning to leave a review for quite awhile. I am so glad that they have survived Covid as a small business. We frequently order sandwiches, salads, and pasta to pick up on the weekends and they’re always fresh with homemade elements. We hosted our son’s 7th birthday party here (he’s a budding chef) a few years ago and had the best time. Lorraine, the owner, put on a homemade pasta cooking class for the kids and they all got to make their own fresh pasta and take it home with them. They then ate a delicious meal of spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread and veggies. It was truly a special day and all of the parents of the guests thought it was such a unique and fun party. Thanks for being such a wonderful local business!
Great food and lovely patio out back.
Extremely happy with my first visit. The chicken pesto sandwich was easy to eat and made with high quality ingredients. I will be back to try more!
Delicious food, great little outdoor patio and a BYOB!!
Tried this because it’s just down the street from my new apartment and it did NOT disappoint. I had a weird craving for chicken salad which I would normally never order, and I was blown away. I have ordered it several times and it’s always fresh and amazing. Their turkey sandwich and pasta with vodka sauce was also incredible. 5 stars!!
Really cute place! Ordered the burrata salad togo and had it in the nearby park/table area. It was delicious! Customer service is excellent as well. I’ll definitely be coming back :)
This place NEVER disappoints! I’ve been hearing from people at work and my friends in the neighborhood about the homemade frozen lasagna. I thought it’d be a good meal in the snowy cold weather. And OMG. Go and get it. It’s so delish, and only $17 for a huge portion for two people. We only ate half and have enough for another meal. We have only had the sandwiches, but now I’ll be heading to the frozen section while my sandwich is being made! Thank you guys!
I love the salads, fresh pasta, and the ease of ordering ahead on their website. All Covid 19 protocols are in place. This is a neighborhood gem!
Over rated. Panini was tasteless
Omg! Their BLT with both pancetta and prosciutto was heavenly!
Please give them a try!! The food was scrumptious!! I had the chicken pesto sandwich and it was mouth watering the meat was tender, juicy, and savory. My husband ordered the Italian beef and he said it was one of the best he had in a while! Def going back!
Had the Morelli Meatball Sub... Did not disappoint and was very pleased with it. Will have to order the Fancy Nancy next time I go.
The atmosphere was warm and cozy on a cold wintery night. The hardest decision is what to order! It was also hard not to fill up on the homemade focaccia before the entrees. The pastas were so so good (papardelle, spaghetti, and gnocchi not pictured because we gobbled it up). Loved our time here and we are so glad we ended on a sweet note.
Just tried Tuscan Hen Market for the first time and got the Fancy Nancy sandwich. It was delicious and i am now obsessed. Fresh, well priced, delectable and cute! I cant wait to come back and try the desserts!
Great Italian wedding soup. Love this deli in the hood!
The food here is so good. Ive been almost a dozen times and every time I try something new and continue to be really happy I went back.
Tuscan Hen Market is phenomenal! Our office orders lunch here all the time - the service is always fast, the orders are always correct, and the staff is always friendly. Thanks for alway accommodating us at Donohoe Pediatrics!
Just walked by and looked in the window. Saw some employees/owner (not sure) and thought I might be interested so I started reading the signs on the window to see what they offer, the schedule, covid info... And one if the people working there came to the door to ask can I help you? in the rudest greeting Ive received in a long time. So much for trying a new restaurant.
I was excited when I saw they had spaghetti carbonara and eager to try a new place that was close to where I work, but what I got was extremely disappointing. I got barely buttered noodles, no sauce or peas or cheese, with pancetta (the only thing with flavor) for $16 I was expecting good food, and my hopes were high because the reviews and the place is cute and looks like it uses fresh ingredients. Highly disappointing. I normally dont review places much and hate leaving bad reviews, but the food was just sad and it felt deceptive
The Fancy Nancy is bonk and you gotta try some of their fresh pasta. Madon!
You know food that is so good; that when you eat it, your body just feels so good after eating it? That was my experience eating the chicken pesto sandwich from here. Oh goodness it was SOO FRESH and they didnt skimp out on the amount of toppings either; your body just knows this is good for me. It truly was delicious and one of the cheaper [money wise] options on GrubHub. I suggest having it with the potato chips with it-oof you will be in heaven! I will absolutely be ordering from them again; probably going to try one of their paninis next!
We love this place! Great food and great people!
Hidden gem. Excellent food and the patio is absolutely charming and beautiful.
Loved Chef Lorraine’s homemade cheese ravioli: creamy cheese, great pasta, nice tomato sauce. Very friendly old-Chicago, quick-bite. Try the homemade limonata cake. Yummy!
Tuscan Hen provided us with one of the most delicious meals ever! Lorraine’s culinary talents wowed our son’s future in-laws. We appreciated her suggestions in developing the menu. The vegetable and appetitzer platters were refreshing; the pasta, chicken Parmesan, and lasagna were just like my Italian grandmother used to make! The cookie platter lightly and sweetly finished this wonderful meal. I highly recommend Tuscan Hen!
We hosted our daughters wedding at Tuscan Hen on a Saturday evening two weeks ago. We held both the ceremony and the dinner in the patio area.In this time of Covid19, it wasnt the 150 person event that was originally planned, but all 15 people there were delighted with the outcome, most importantly the happy couple!The food was amazing! Lorraine helped us decide upon the menu (appetizers, salad, a choice of entrees (Chicken picata, pasta primavera, or Cacio & Pepe), and focaccia bread.Her staff set the tables with white tablecloths and cloth napkins. They set up a table for the bar service which later served at the dessert table, where we served a bakery cake and some of the restaurants delicious cannolis. They printed menus for everyone since the guests had a choice of entrees, and were there to help us in any way the entire evening.The appetizers were served as people arrived, then we held the short ceremony, followed by dinner. The brides wanted a low key vibe, so the setting was perfect for them. With charming lighting and the abundant foliage, the patio area was beautiful, cozy, and welcoming.The restaurant does not have a liquor license, but we were able to bring our own alcohol in, which worked out fine for us. They were very helpful with the set-up.Id highly recommend this venue for a party, a shower, and, yes, a small wedding.Cant thank Lorraine and her staff enough for everything they did to make this evening special for everyone in attendance! It was magical!
I have a very strong suggestion. Can you please consider adding some kind of potato to your delicious menu. Roasted, Baked, Fried etc. Any potato.
This is a fantastic place to grab a quick bite to go, or visit in small groups. The sandwiches are packed full and taste delicious, and had options for vegetarians and those allergic to nuts. The staff was incredibly friendly, and gave us a free dessert the last time we visited. Ill definitely be coming back soon.
Entree order was completely missed and instead of offering to send the missing items, they just issued a refund. The pesto doesnt look that great online, so good riddance I guess. Im just disappointed.
Great food and service. Everything tasted incredibly fresh. Will definitely be back
Everything tastes fresh and the workers are friendly. Ive loved every sandwich that Ive tried
Waitress was super nice, but owner (or manager) of this place is so rude!
One of the best subs I have had in awhile. My wifes panini was huge and very good as well. We will definitely be back!
Have ordered for delivery a couple times and have not been disappointed! Great salads and the fancy Nancy is one of the best sandwiches Ive had! Also fast and friendly service!
Incredible salads, the burrata was second to none and their brown butter chocolate chip cookies are the stuff of legend.
Just tried this place and wow, my sandwich was fantastic! Cant wait to come back to try different ones! And staff is super friendly 😊
Outstanding Staff and Food! I love this place and cant say enough of the quality of the food. You can not find a better Caprese sandwich. (the pesto is out of this world) The Lasagna is wonderful! The staff is top notch and go out of their way to make you feel at home. We eat there once a week. If you are in the area stop in for lunch or pick up dinner for the night..
The Popeye salad was okay--i think the dressing could have been more flavorful. The Luigi sandwich was amazing. Would absolutely return for a sandwich, and one of their desserts (cannolis are filled on the spot, meaning a super crisp shell)
Nothing beats the BLT here. Its made with crispy prosciutto instaed of bacon, delicious! The sandwiches here are big, hearty and freshly made. The soups are comforting and savory. Its locally owned and the owner is often in the shop eagerly trying to greet and please each customer. Great place. Honestly, theres no need to get a subpar Subway sandwich when this place is just across the street and full of real ingredients.
My favorite sandwich in the whole city. The staff is friendly and the food quality is high, great spot!
Great sandwich and salads, big portions. Cute back patio area when the weather is nice!
I love the hearty food with satisfying flavor combinations. So yummy.
Great food, flavorful pasta bowls and sandwiches. Highly recommended!
Excellent little place to come for lunch. The meatball sub is delicious, and I order it every time!
Amazing pasta, amazing sauce, and gorgeous patio. 100 will go again. and YOU CAN RENT IT OUT or so they say.
I would absolutely eat here again.
Truly lovely, flavorful, homemade Italian lunchtime fare.
The food was great (we just had sandwiches), the service quick, and the staff friendly. About $25 for two sandwiches and bottled soft drinks.
Chicken Pesto Sandwich was amazing! Thanks, Tom, for the yummies.
Excellent neighborhood sandwich shop. Ive had about 4 different sandwiches and Ive enjoyed them all.
Super friendly place with fresh sandwiches and home made pasta. Alfredo to die for.
A great place - dine in or take something home
Great simple Italian food. My favorite spot for lunch in the area.
Awesome sandwiches and great decor
I had a fab chicken salad sandwitch!
Really cool place. Go on a patio.
Ask for two on the new and they didnt have it who is Monday at about 12 pm not good
Sandwich was good.
