Never had been to one of these before, its one of the whole gaggle of
new restaurants at the new CITYCENTRE.
It does have Tuscan Grill after the name, tho the only reason must be
that Tuscany is the only Italian Region Americans know the name of.
It's a huge place, very nice decor.
Service was good, but you can tell a place is new when waitstaff is
rushing around like mad and the floor managers look like eagle eyed
drill instructors.
My and my wife had the Field Greens Salad , nothing special but nicely
done.
She had the Chicken Milanese and I had the Shrimp Scampi & Angel Hair.
All good but nothing special about it, not quite usual American paint
by the numbers Italian, but nothing like the olive oil and spices
dishes I have had in Florence.
Noisy as hell.
All in all a so so Italian place near us in Town and Country.

One odd thing is they have a nice set select wines from the Veneto at
good prices, it says VENETO on that page with a picture of Tuscany at
the top of the page! I pointed the incongruity to the waiter but he
didn't know where the Veneto is.
