Editorial Review for Tuscany – by Virginia Rainey
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.

Wow, what a gorgeous restaurant with amazing food! You're greeted by the friendliest staff I've ever experienced in a restaurant as soon as you walk in the door.

I came into Tuscany with several buddies after a hard day on the slopes at Snowbird. We had made a reservation earlier in the day and arrived early not realizing the restaurant was such a close distance to Little Cottonwood Canyon. We started with drinks in the bar and were treated like old friends by the bartender. She made it a hard decision to leave and go to our table because she was so friendly, but alas we are all married. The manager took us to our table by a huge rock fireplace and I wondered if we were actually in Florence, Italy or Salt Lake City. We ordered some appetizers and found the carpaccio to be perfectly rare and the fried calamari to be best we've had. It came with fried shrimp and green beans and was topped with a red pepper aioli that gave it a real zip! Our server recommended the Chicken Scallopini and a bunch of us opted for that and the juicy New York steak special. Both dishes satisfied our craving for Italian fare and beat out any steak we've tried coast to coast. The service was very attentive and quick considering the place was packed with hungry skiers and their families. A few of us had room left for dessert and got the fried bananas with homemade banana ice cream and the house specialty banana cream pie. I would recommend this restaurant for both its outstanding service and food that pleases both Italian food lovers and All-American palates.
Pros: Close to Skiing
