La Toscana: Italian Bar and Restaurant

It must be one of the coziest restaurant in town. Its intricate iron and wood furniture lends a decidely European ambiance. Wines are arranged neatly in a wine racks interspersed with photos of famous diners. Lunch at La Toscana is a refuge from the heat and throbbing noise in the street which happens to be one of the major thoroughfares.

Dinner in this restaurant is a dream. The light are muted, the music soft and atmosphere immediately pulls down your stress level several notches lower. It is perfect for a quite celebration of intimate friends or a lover's tryst. Life is good.

Piero who now can entertain patrons-turned-friends, leave some of that cooking to his assistants who are well-trained in the Tuscan cuisine. Because everything is done fresh, it takes a little waiting time for the food to be served though a plate of Affettato Misto(thin slices of assorted golden meat with tomato and olives)or a Prosciutto di parma (wafer thin ham with garnishings) can be whipped up in no time at all.

There is quite an interesting array of soup.There is the popular Minestrone, and the Tuscany famous soup:Zuppa di pesce(seafood soup),Zuppa di Cipolle(sweet onion soup) and Ribollita besenzio. For salad we have Insalata verde,insalata di mare,parmigiana terina and Nicoise.

One only has to flip through the thick menu to feel the stomach grumbling.The menus guide you perfectly through the photos. We have tagliatelle a fresh flat pasta which either served with mushroom, or with seafood. Pappardelle is flat but has a serrated egde,tortellini is rolled pasta with meat fillings,penne is a short-ribbed pasta.

For pizza we have a variety to choose from,all hand-tossed just the way we do it in Italy.There is Capricciosa, Alla Romana, Italian Volcano,al Tonno, Alla Marinara,Calzone,Margherita, and Alla Vegetariana. Risotto(rice dish)also comes in different variants seafood,mushrooms,meat and vegetables.
