Tuscan Hills, Forest Hills

Enjoy the simple, humble, rustic and oh-so delicious dishes of the Tuscan countryside without having to leave town, all by dining at Tuscan Hills. This Forest Hills eatery has a great decor that at once makes you feel welcome and relaxed. Sit next to exposed brick walls and take in the ambiance which is casual and homey, and the perfect place to enjoy hand-crafted Italian fare. Open for lunch and dinner and brunch on the weekends, the menu is diverse and tempting. Start your Tuscan feast with antipasti like the fried calamari, bruschetta rustic with mushrooms and truffle oil, or the Tuscan-style shrimp in a white wine sauce. Secondi and pastas like the salmone capriccioso with black olives and capers is a delight, as is the rigatoni boscaiola with spicy sausage, or their signature dish, cacciucco. This delicious dish is a traditional Tuscan fish stew in a light tomato sauce, and it is hearty, satisfying and wonderful. There's more on the menu, including the hand-crafted pizzas that are cooked to perfection in the brick oven. If you're out for lunch during the week, ask about their prix fixe lunch, and on the weekend, there's no place finer for brunch. Friendly service, great food and reasonable prices makes this restaurant the next best thing to dining in Italy!
