If you’re craving authentic Italian cuisine in a warm and inviting atmosphere, Tuscany Nokomis is the place to be. Recently, I visited this local favorite and met with Chef Jimmy, an award-winning chef known for his creative and delicious dishes.
Tuna and Apple Tartare: A Fresh and Healthy Starter
Chef Jimmy started by preparing the Tuna and Apple Tartare, a fresh and healthy appetizer gaining popularity at Tuscany Nokomis. This dish combines sashimi-grade tuna with crisp apples, tossed in a lemon vinaigrette with capers and scallions for a perfect balance of flavors. Served with toasted garlic and olive oil crostini, it’s a tasty and nutritious start to any meal.
Classic Italian Pasta: Carbonara and Pennet Salciche
Next, Chef Jimmy showcased two classic Italian pasta dishes. The Pasta Carbonara features fettuccine with a creamy bacon sauce, sweet peas, and a rich egg yolk finish. The Pennet Salciche offers penne pasta in a robust tomato sauce with mushrooms and Italian sausage, topped with fresh Parmesan and basil. Both dishes deliver authentic Italian comfort food at its best.
Quattro Stagioni Pizza: Italy’s Favorite Pie
No visit to Tuscany Nokomis is complete without trying the Quattro Stagioni pizza, the restaurant’s most popular pizza. This “Four Seasons” pizza is divided into sections representing each season, topped with mushrooms, olives, artichokes, and finished with prosciutto after baking. A sprinkle of fresh Parmesan completes this flavorful masterpiece.
Dining Specials and More at Tuscany Nokomis
Tuscany Nokomis also offers great specials, including early bird deals seven days a week from 3:00 to 6:00 PM and the best happy hour in town. Plus, pizza lovers can enjoy half off any pizza every Tuesday.
Whether you’re a local or visiting Nokomis, Tuscany Nokomis offers authentic Italian dishes, friendly service, and a cozy dining experience. From the healthy Tuna and Apple Tartare to classic Carbonara and the famous Quattro Stagioni pizza, there’s something for everyone.
