Ex-Jazz center Mark Eaton is a partner in Tuscany, So, for starters, the restaurant’s wine list is above par, since Mark is an avid and knowledgeable wine enthusiast. The lovely, sprawling tree-shaded patio at Tuscany is a super spot to dine al fresco, and Tuscany’s interior is gorgeous as well. Hand-painted tiles, stone fireplaces and plenty of terra-cotta give Tuscany a Mediterranean feel; the wood-fired pizza ovens add to the restaurant’s look and flavor. Tuscany’s private club is a great spot for a quiet drink, an intimate rendezvous or just a snack, and the barkeeps there are some of the Salt Lake Valley’s finest. Excellent dinner choices at Tuscany include sweet potato ravioli in browned sage butter, a braised lamb shank with truffle pan jus, and risotto with sea scallops, bacon, sweet peas and basil in Carbonara cream sauce. The valet parking is also a welcome Tuscany convenience. It goes without saying that you should wrap up a meal at Tuscany with the signature 7’4” chocolate cake with chocolate ganache.
