Our Dining Experience
We recently visited Tuscan Table Restaurant and were warmly welcomed by our server, Lauren, who provided excellent service throughout the evening. From start to finish, the meal was flavorful, well-presented, and truly memorable.
Appetizer: Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs
We began with the Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs — gherkin pickles, red onion, crispy capers, cream cheese filling, lemon, and fresh dill. This dish struck a balance between tangy and creamy, with the smoked salmon adding a rich depth of flavor.
Main Courses: Seared Scallops & Carbonara
For entrées, we chose two standout dishes:
- Seared Scallops – Served with cannellini beans, yellow patty pan squash, braised kale with pancetta, garlic butter, and balsamic brown butter. The scallops were perfectly seared, tender, and beautifully complemented by the hearty vegetables and rich sauce.
- Carbonara – A classic pasta dish with parmesan, cream, egg, black pepper, crispy pancetta, guanciale, and spaghetti. The flavors were bold yet comforting, with just the right amount of creaminess and texture from the pancetta.
Dessert: Tres Leches
We ended the night with Tres Leches, a sweet finish that was moist, indulgent, and the perfect way to wrap up the meal.
