Looking for a quaint, romantic restaurant in Orange County? Look no further than Tuscany Mediterranee Grill. This is a very elegant, beautiful, white table cloth restaurant with real indoor plants, and an ambience so fitting for a date.
We had reservation for 7.30pm and were seated as soon as we arrived. The place was almost full, with lots of couples on the booths and 2 big groups.
We started with the Beef Carpaccio topped with parmesan cheese and a creamy lentil soup, never had such a delicious lentil soup before. They have a nice selection of wine but we had their house red.
We were served a palate cleanser before our entrees just like in fine dining places.
For the main course, we had Shrimp Livorno, fantastic, and the Combo Lamb chops and Beef Shish Kabob, soft and tasty.
We had their tiramisu for dessert, so light it melted in our mouth and the cheese cake with raspberry sauce.
They offered us flavorful Turkish tea in cute little tea glasses and Italian chocolate.
The service was friendly, attentive and courteous, they made us feel like we were the only people at the restaurant. Their prices are very reasonable for some of the best food we have tasted in Irvine.
That was a fantastic experience.
We went there on a Saturday, the parking was free.
This is an undiscovered gem, hidden in the beautifull Irvine Concourse Business District, an unlikely place for such a romantic restaurant. We are thinking to go back for Valentine's Day.
