    We don’t go out to dinner often, but since discovering Tuscany Nokomis we have been there four times in 2025, bringing friends and family with us. We especially appreciate the early bird special menu which offers excellent choices at an affordable price. We have had the filet mignon, eggplant parm, chicken parm, beef burgundy, and veal Marsala, all excellent choices. Our friends and family have enjoyed their meals too. It has quickly become our favorite restaurant.

    Valentine’s Day dinner special menu. Service was fantastic and food amazing. At first I questioned the choices for the dinner but why? The choices were perfect. I had Leg o Lamb and my wife had Duck. I don’t remember her ever ordering duck but she loved it. Both appetizers were great as well. Great wine selection and great cup of cappuccino. The food was more than plentiful! This is our go to,place to eat in the area. Always top notch. The chef is an artist. Now this place is expensive but you get what you pay for and I don’t mind paying for great food. I can’t wait to return.
