Ambiance
As soon as we stepped into the restaurant, we felt as if we were transported to a charming Tuscan village. The decor was elegant yet cozy, with dim lighting and wooden accents adding to the rustic atmosphere. Oversize porthole windows along one wall provide fabulous ocean views and allow for romantic dining for couples seated alongside.
The Menu
Tuscan Grille’s menu is a nice blend of familiar Italian classics and the butcher cuts and sides you would expect from an upscale steakhouse. Entrees range from filet mignon to lobster rigatoni, and appetizers from creamy burrata to a classic Caesar salad. There are even a few seafood choices for those who are craving something different.
Below is a sample menu for Tuscan Grille. Of course, menus are subject to change.
The Bread
Before the meal, we were presented with a basket of various types of bread. Our bread plates were filled with olive oil and balsamic reduction for dipping the bread into, the perfect complement to the meal that was coming.
Appetizers
For appetizers, we chose the house meatballs, which were oversized with authentic flavor, as well as the pork belly, which was presented in a slice rather than the cubes we’re all used to. Both were excellent, whetting our appetites for the main course.
Entrees
Now on to the most important part – the main course. For our mains, we ordered the broiled ribeye steak and chicken parmesan. The ribeye came with sides, so Myron chose broccolini aglio e olio and garlic mashed potato.
Much like the appetizers, the entrees were cooked to perfection with rich and bold flavors. The garlic in the broccolini was a tad too bold but otherwise was delicious.
Dessert
For dessert, Myron passed and simply ordered a latte, while I ordered a cappuccino and a slice of limoncello cheesecake. The slice was served deconstructed with the limoncello glaze as a smeared sauce and the graham cracker crust as mere crumbs. Inventive and quite different, but absolutely yummy and the perfect way to end this meal.
The Service
The service at Tuscan Grille was excellent. Between our waiter and the sommelier, we never wanted for anything. We had a 6:00 reservation and arrived a half hour early because it was more convenient, and it was no problem for the maître d’ to seat us right away as the restaurant wasn’t full at that time.
