AN EVOLUTION OF TUSCAN CUISINE

Toscana presents an evolution of Tuscan cuisine in a truly Italian setting of rich Chianina leather, hand-blown Venetian glass and Carrara marble. Evolved from generational family traditions, many of our recipes originated with the mothers and grandmothers of our own Italian culinary staff. Presented on elegant, custom-designed Versace china, masterfully prepared dishes exemplify the essence of Tuscany and celebrate Italy’s culinary passion. Perhaps the evening begins with the octopus carpaccio with Champagne vinaigrette or the artichoke and parmesan cheese timbale with black truffle sauce, followed by classic dishes such as the hand-rolled gnocchi with pesto, a rich risotto with lobster medallions and shallots, or a pan-seared sea bass filet finished with Sorrento lemon, chardonnay and capers.

The Pizzeria at Waves Grill

Each evening as if by culinary alchemy, Waves Grill is transformed into an authentic Neapolitan trattoria with the pizza oven at the epicenter.

A NEIGHBORHOOD GEM

Combine the stylish flair of a Viennese coffee house with the warm smiles of your neighborhood café, then add 270-degree shimmering sea views and you have Baristas, a relaxed haven for coffee and fresh pastry afficionados.

The Bakery

The enticing aroma of freshly baked pastries will draw guests from Baristas to the Vista's new Bakery just steps away. The perfect complement to your coffee might just be a French or Italian specialty fresh from the oven. Perhaps you’ll sample a flaky, ricotta-filled sfogliatella, a confection that hails from the Italian region of Campania.

Whatever your choice, you cannot go wrong when indulging in a delicacy created by our skilled pastry chefs.

The new Bakery, with its freshly baked French and Italian pastries, is certain to be an instant hit.
