Owner

Come to Tuscany for top-notch food and wine in a quaintly elegant setting on the wooded foot of the Wasatch Mountains. The restaurant is fittingly built to resemble an Italian mountain lodge, with massive beams, cathedral ceilings, and an extensive use of rock, old-world murals, stained glass, and three enormous fireplaces. The northern Italian cuisine has been tempered with Western influences, resulting in delicious dishes. In summer you can dine alfresco in the lovely garden. Full liquor service is available.

The Scene
The detail-rich decor at Tuscany is dramatic and inviting. It envelopes diners with high ceilings, hand-painted tiles, terra-cotta floors, a series of richly appointed dining rooms, comfortable seating and lots of windows. Then there are the tantalizing aromas from the open kitchen and wood-burning oven. Outside, the tree-covered patio is a glorious spot to sit and enjoy some fine cuisine.

The Food
Overall, the food is good--and a good value. The herb-crusted beef carpaccio is one of the consistently tasty appetizers, as is the seasonal pear salad with arugula, radicchio, endive, toasted pine nuts and Gorgonzola. Hearth breads (pizzas, basically) are always a good choice, especially for a light meal. The menu includes several pastas, from plump gnocchi to linguini topped with delicious sauces. The entree portions are perfect to share, especially if you a want a meat or seafood dish in addition to pasta.
