About the restaurant
Welcome to the Downtown Kitchen. We have one goal in mind when we open our doors every day - "To do whatever it takes to create the best dining experience possible.' That means buying certified Angus beef, Ashley Farms chicken, New Zealand Spring lamb, dayboat fish and fresh local produce. We change our menus daily according to market and season availability. Our style of cooking is defined as simplicity at its best. We built the restaurant to elevate the guests' level of comfort. The bar, tables, and booths were custom-made by a local wood worker. And we searched the nation for unique works of Art to deck our walls. Music of Blues and Rock greats fill the air. Service is as important as the food. Our staff is sincere, knowledgeable and friendly. They hustle to deliver the best service around, yet take the time to remember your name and how you like your drink.

The staff at Queenie’s is pleasant and welcoming. The ambience is nice and quaint. Although, if you’re seated near the front door on a cool night, it might be a bit chilly at times when guests enter. I don’t know how long this restaurant has been open. It’s obvious they are going to be popular, as the food is excellent and the value is great. They appeared to have been a little short on staff the night we were there. Service was a little slower than we usually like. But that’s not a bad thing as many restaurants are too focused on turning around tables. We definitely recommend this restaurant.

Everything about this location was excellent. The seating layout might cause slight discomfort if you prefer not to sit near strangers, as certain tables are quite close. Consider dining outside or moving toward the side windows for a quiet, private experience.

About the restaurant
Benvenuti Amici!
At Tuscany we are a scratch made kitchen. We make all of our sauces in house daily, and each dish is made fresh to order. Our passion is to keep our dishes as traditional and fresh as possible while being so far away from Italy. We source only the finest ingredients and use only wild caught seafood. Our deserts are made in house with the exception of the profiteroles which are imported from Italy.

We were voted Best Italian in the state of Georgia in 2023, and again in 2024 by the Georgia Business Journal and have won numerous local awards for many years running including best restaurant in Woodstock and Canton in 2024. We have an extensive wine list and are sourcing wines directly from family vineyards in Italy. We're known for our onsite parties and events, and we offer an amazing patio to watch the sunset.

You will see why we call a night with us the “Tuscany experience” Ambiance, great food, and impeccable service. Welcome to your Tuscan Villa in Woodstock.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolutely Unforgettable Experience at Tuscany Restaurant! ❤️🍷🇮🇹 WOW! What an incredible dining experience we had at Tuscany yesterday with our family! From the moment we walked through the door until the moment we left, we were treated with such genuine warmth, kindness, and outstanding hospitality! The hostess at the front door was absolutely wonderful! She welcomed us with such a beautiful smile and friendly attitude, immediately making us feel special and right at home. And it didn’t stop there — every single person we encountered was incredibly friendly, welcoming, professional, and attentive. You can truly feel the positive energy and teamwork throughout the entire restaurant! The food was absolutely phenomenal! Everything was delicious, fresh, beautifully presented, and prepared with so much care. Every bite was a delight! And a very special THANK YOU to our amazing waitress, Luka! ❤️ She was truly exceptional! Her kindness, beautiful personality, attention to detail, and genuine care for our family made our evening even more special. She went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. Luka is an absolute gem! What makes Tuscany so special is not just the incredible food, but the amazing people who work there. From the wonderful hostess who greeted us to Luka and every member of the team, everyone made us feel like family. To the owners and management: You should be incredibly proud of your team! Exceptional customer service like this is rare, and your staff truly deserves recognition! Thank you, Tuscany, for giving our family such a beautiful and memorable evening. We can’t wait to return! A million stars if we could give them! Absolutely HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! 🌟❤️👏🍝
