Absolutely love this place! Great atmosphere and food. We went once and have been back 3 times in the last 2 weeks. We are so happy we found our new spot. One thing I do love about Tuscan wine market is you can go and pick a bottle of wine off their wine wall and pay an opening fee of $ 10 and is yours. Gives you a lot more wine options. I highly recommend the pasta and pizza. Next time I would like to get their chefs board which looks delicious! Overall, I love this place.

I looked for restaurants in the AH area to take a friend out for her birthday. TMWS was 4^th on the list. I clicked on it because I was intrigued at the fact that it said wine shop but it showed up as a request for restaurants. So clicked on it and it’s history from there. I went, I visited and I loved it.
Its a small space across the street from Jewel. It has a great collection of wines for purchase on the right side and the restaurant is located to the right of the door. My friend and I sat at the bar and ordered the sangria and the montepulciano wine. Both were amazing we had two of each. For food we had the conga salad (i think that’s what it was called) and the chicken cobb pizza. I thought the pizza was good but nothing amazing. I kind of wish I had ordered a different one. The salad though! Holly cow. First of all its not a salad. Its a concuction of goat cheese nuts pesto spread and olives. Oh and the bread that comes with it? Delicious.
The only reason I deducted the star was due to the pizza and the service. It was a bit scattered. There were 3 bartenders in the place (or were there? I am not sure). One could have done the job if they have a sense of what hospitality is but I ain’t mad, I had a great experience.
Try the place out. You will be hooked.

A wonderful place to go for lunch! Terrific pizza and sandwiches. The staff is friendly and attentive. Small groups are best and be prepared for a little wait on the food as the kitchen is small but an overall enjoyable place to be!

Great selection of beers and wine. The food is always very well done, consistent, and made with fresh ingredients. The staff could not be more friendly and helpful. This place has the best Arlington Heights has to offer from all angles. Bravo! Pizzas are amazing. The boards are yummy, and the desserts are to die for.
Great venue for watching sports, hanging out with friends, or just having a good meal.

A fabulous local business with a friendly, caring, enthusiastic staff. They always take the time to direct me to the perfect wine for any occasion. Their ambiance is wonderful and creates the perfect space to sit down and enjoy a glass of wine after an eventful day. They also offer freshly prepared takeout so i can be the hero at dinnertime. Great Arlington Heights location who’s owners and staff contribute mightily to our great village.

I love wine and wine bars are definitely on my list of places I like to go, but in my opinion, the food needs to be good to justify my coming back repeatedly.
The wine is decently priced and there are quite a few different selections, so if you just come here for some wine and maybe a meat and cheese board, it can be worth your while. It might get a little pricey though, as the food is not exactly the best priced. This can be painful when you are planning to buy a few glasses of wine or a bottle.
I was not impressed by the food I got here. Both times I have come to this place I was simply underwhelmed by what I had gotten. I don’t know if I just picked the wrong dishes or what, but I just wasn’t a fan. The food doesn’t completely match the ‘wine bar’ feel so it just seems slightly confused to me. I don’t know… maybe I’m picky about my food genres.
Also, as note, have your ID on hand before you walk in at night, they card right when you step in the door… which I find slightly obnoxious, honestly. The place is too small to have people jamming right in the doorway getting carded.
Another note: there is very little seating room here. You will most likely be standing for quite a sum of time, so if someone in your party has aching joints or an injury (hey, maybe you are bringing your Mother or Grandma here!) then this could get a little painful for them.

I generally have lunch with a friend of mine at least every other month and we try to go to different local venues each time. It was my turn to choose so I chose Tuscan Market on November 4^th.
First off, the menus are in a basket and one must go to the counter to order. The young man behind the counter took our orders: A Tuscan Sub for me, from the «cold» menu and a Turkey Paninni from the «hot» menu for my friend.
What each of us got was a Hot Italian Beef Sandwich for me and a Cold Turkey Sub for my friend. Both orders were completely different than ordered.
The woman who brought the plates to the table also added that she «wasn’t going to charge us for the extras because it was a learning experience for us.» WHAT EXTRAS? We would have insisted on getting what we originally ordered but didn’t want to wait around to get the replacement food.
If they can’t get the orders right for the only two people in the store at the time, how can they handle orders when more than two are there?

The beer, the wine, the food, the staff, and the management, all are wonderful.
Quant and cozy, you may be sharing a table with friends that you’ve not yet met. This is a great experience, don’t be afraid!
Rotating beers weekly, and sometimes tap take-​overs from local and/​or craft breweries. If you like to enjoy beer, they have you covered.
I’m not a huge wine drinker, but I will say they have what you need, either behind the bar, or for sale in the shop. You can buy and drink for a corkage fee. Very worth it if you find what you like.
The food is great. Their signature pizzas are exceptional, as well as are the sandwiches and appetizers. I’ve not ordered from the dinner menu myself, but my friends that I’ve been with have, and they have had no bad words.
Overall, a great place, you have to try it!

Absolutely loved this place. Had the perfect afternoon lunch which consisted of a caprese salad with bread and wine. Hit all the right spots.

Cute little place to grab a quick bite and drink. The pizza was delicious and they have a great beer and wine selection. The owners are hands on and were very nice.

great lunch spot in AH.
The beer and wine options are great.
I really enjoyed the meatball sandwich.
We also shared a pizza to start which was very good– it was a salad one and done very well.

One of my favorite places in Arlington Heights. It’s a small place downtown right near the train, and it has such a cozy atmosphere. The staff are all ridiculously friendly, and they have a huge craft beer selection, as well as quality wine. The cheese and meat plates are both a great snack (with huge portions to validate the price) and they have a variety of specialty pizzas that are delicious. It can get crowded though, so seating sometimes becomes a problem.
It is also a marketplace where they sell a huge variety of wine, beer and wine-​related products.

Really cute and charming! A great place for a quick face-​to-​face weekend chat with your BFF. Hubby loved the many varieties of beer! We went for brunch, so their pizza wasn’t ready yet. I had a really greasy turkey sandwich, and hubby had … I don’t remember

I love Tuscan Market! Although I rarely go out for Italian food, since it’s so easy to make at home, Tuscan Market is well worth making an exception.
I had the Asiago Stuffed Gnocchi, which melted in my mouth. When I saw other food coming out of the kitchen, everything looked delicious. The menu is mostly pasta and pizza, and I look forward to coming back to try more dishes.
The beer & wine menu makes it tough to choose! I had a St. Ambroise Apricot Wheat and later, at the server’s recommendation, a Hell or High Watermelon — both awesome summer brews.
Tuscan Market is part market, part restaurant. It looks as though you can purchase a bottle of wine on the premises to drink with your meal or take it to go.
Even on weekdays, this place fills up fast. It was bustling when we were here on a Thursday at 6:30 p.m., and it was packed by the time we left.
I would recommend Tuscan Market for dinner or just drinks. But you’re really missing out if you don’t try that gnocchi!

The Tuscan Market was a fun experience! I went for lunch with a friend of mine and we truly enjoyed this place. Great décor and excellent atmosphere. It’s a small Italian deli with a vast collection of wine and beer options, hidden in the Arlington Heights neighborhood.
Although I really wanted to try one of their many creative pizza’s, it was just going to take too long. 30+ to prepare the pizza. If I wasn’t on my lunch break, I would have tried one. Instead I went with their Wine Bar Cheese Boards. Quick, easy, and extremely delightful! Nothing goes better with cheese, than a glass of wine! I went with an Argentinian wine, Cigar Box Malbec. I liked it. $ 7 for a glass.
I’d like to come back with a little more time, try their pizzas and other various selections of wines/​beers!
Happy to have found this place!

Tuscan Market has been on my To Do list for a long time, and now I can mark it as done. I have passed by here a few times in the evening, and it is crazy packed. Luckily we came during the day so it was nice and quiet and we had space to move and breathe.
This place is a bunch of things in one. It’s a beer/​wine tasting bar. It’s a market where you can buy wine, beer, baked goods, cheese, subs, pastas and some other delights to go. It’s also a restaurant of sorts because everything that you can buy to go, you can also eat here. I did a little partaking in all of the above.
I wasn’t expecting them to have so many beers on tap! They have a decent amount of rotating local drafts that you can try. They of course, also have a nice list of red and white wines for you to try. I had a glass of wine and beer, and both were delicious. We also shared the cheese plate and the buffalo pizza. Cheese plate was awesome — 4 different kinds of cheese, 2 different kinds of olives, bread, apricot jam, almonds, dried apricots, and a strawberry. I would definitely get that again. The pizza, I wasn’t so impressed with. It lacked flavor overall. It is small, (about the size of a tortilla), so keep that in mind.
I also ordered a piece of carrot cake to go. It was very good, but so expensive! For one piece it was $ 7. Woah. It was good… but that’s a little much. My friend ordered a few bakery items to go and she was surprised at the bill as well.
The service was so-​so. I can tell that they have their regulars, and they are super nice people. There were a few times we were waiting for someone to come buy and order another drink. They were good about letting us try the wine/​beer before we ordered it, and were very helpful as far as finding something we would like.
I would come back for a drink and the cheese plate again. I like the atmosphere, and it’s a nice addition to the area.

Tuscan Market & Wine Shop is like the wine bar version of Cheers. It mixes a casual and very friendly environment with some eclectic food and drink options.
A pleasantly loud crowd will be found on most Tuesday through Sundays. They’re closed on Mondays for special events.
You will feel at home whether you’re grabbing a bite alone, or coming with a crowd. The team is friendly and inviting.
The wines are all California based, but that is where the similarities end. The wall stretching the length of the restaurant mixes a variety of reds and whites. I have yet to drink a red there I didn’t like (I don’t drink white wines).
I tend to stay with heavier wines, like Cabernets. The William Hill is a solid choice. What surprised me was the Belcreme De Lys Pinot Noir. I’m typically not a fan of Pinot Noir, but this one was excellent.
Not much has changed with the new ownership, and that is a good thing. Try our Tuscan Market if you are near Arlington Heights. You won’t be sorry.

Wine is good and there is a vast beer selection. The pizzas are good but for heavens sake i beg you to take pasta off the menu. By microwaving pasta entrees while we watch and then they are served moderately warm is not appealing. Also ordered the pizza with pear that had 3 pear slices on one piece of pizza. 10+ staff for 12 – 20 tables and the service tonight was way off.
By the way, an open kitchen means everyone can see sanitation practices. Training is needed here. I probably would come back in hopes this local spot can work out these kinks.
I would suggest a clear branding statement. Baseball jerseys and everyone wears their own pants looks like you should serve hotdogs. What is Tuscan market? Who is managing and who is doing dishes.

We came in on a Saturday night and realized why they didn’t take reservations. The outdoor seating was full and just about full inside including the tables and the bar. The hostess greeted and seated at only 2 seats left, on stools to the side. This worked out for my friend & I since we were catching up and were able to hear each other.
We ordered the margarita pizza and the gnocchi which came in a butter sauce We asked for vodka sauce but they didn’t have. Our server did offer us pestos on the side, which we agreed to. The butter sauce would be more suitable as a dipping sauce with bread but didn’t suffice to stand alone as a flavorful sauce coating the pasta. The pizza was mediocre with the basil and diced tomatoes not being baked in so they would fall off onto plate.
We had to try flagging down our server for several minutes to get our bill processed. It shouldn’t take that much time and effort. The meal and service left much to be desired.
