Toscana Ristorante aims to celebrate the classic dishes and cultural heritage of Italian food. Head Chef Michele Lepore works to create dishes that respect what made this cuisine timeless in the first place. The interior of the restaurant is extremely pleasant and welcoming, with reprints of classic Italian art, such as the Mona Lisa, mounted on the walls.
Of course, pasta plays a huge roll in Toscana's menu. One of the most popular dishes is the penne carrettiera with braised sausage, white mushrooms and prosciutto in a pink vodka sauce. In addition, there are several delicious steak and seafood options. From the sea, guests should try the branzino sautéed with fresh tomato, lemon peel and green olives. On the steak side, nothing beats a classic filet mignon.
