Bar Toscana

Last week we helped our friend Eve celebrate her birthday at Bar Toscana. It's warm atmosphere was intriguing and inviting, while the menu's light, Italian-style tapas and exotic drinks were fun and delicious to share with friends.

My favorite dish, the Stuzzichino Toscana or "deconstructed pizza", was so cute. Served on a wood platter with a tiny little jar and miniature serving spoon of tomato jam, a heaping mound of burrata, and crispy pepperoni with italian bread toast.

The prosciutto, imported from Italy, was absolutely to die for. You have to try the Cinque Terra cocktail, too, an interesting combination of gin, strawberries, mint and basil with fresh lime and agave nectar. Needless to say, I will be back!
