Tuscany’s lovely, sprawling, tree-shaded patio is a super spot to dine al fresco, and the interior is gorgeous, as well. Hand-painted tiles, stone fireplaces and plenty of terra cotta give the restaurant a Mediterranean feel; the wood-fired pizza ovens add to the look and flavor. Tuscany’s bar area is a great spot for a quiet drink, an intimate rendezvous or just a snack, and the barkeeps are some of the Salt Lake Valley’s finest. Excellent dinner choices include a roasted half-chicken with roasted butternut squash; salmon fillet with lemon-caper sauce over black-pepper fettuccini; and pasta puttanesca with mussels, clams, salmon and sea bass.
