  1. I would have to agree that Tuscan, in my opinion, is not truly reflective of traditional Italian cuisine( Northern or Southern)

    We tried all the specialty restos on Silhouette, including a repeat at Quisine, and found the Tuscan was our least favorite.

    Not bad by any stretch of the imagination, but nothing to rave about( again just my opinion)

    Also it could have been our menu choices. I've read many wonderful reviews on the steaks, but we didn’t go that way.

    My wife had the Mediterranean sea bass, which she found to be excellent

    I went for the bone in veal scaloppini with a marsala sauce

    I was expecting pan seared veal, no breading, with traditional marsala

    What I got was a fried breaded veal, much like you would find in a veal sandwich, or the base for a veal parmesan, with the sauce served on the side to drizzle on

    Again, it was very good for what it was, but it wasn’t what I was expecting

    The wine selection was very good, and I was pleasantly surprised to find a brachetto desert wine on the menu from the Piedmont area in Italy where we are fortunate to be able to spend a lot of time in

    One thing that surprised me was the steak tartar. I love tartar and Carpaccio.

    However, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a portion of this massive size. it was actually intimidating. I’m not a small guy, and can usually plow my way through anything, but I couldn’t finish this. Raw meats, in my opinion, are meant to be enjoyed moderately. This portion could have been for a table of four. I know people are looking for value, and size of items relates to value with some, but this was overkill in my opinion

    All in all, it was a pleasant way to spend an evening, and I would recommend trying Tuscan but temper expectations and choose your menu items carefully

     

    I agree. Not a Italian restaurant.

    The difference starts with the menu. The Tuscan Grille serves as "primi piatti" what actually are antipasti. After, you can chose a soup or a salad, but in Italy the soup is antipasti and the salad is served just before the desert.

    Then, you chose a pasta, what in Italy is the primi piatti.

     

    I know Celebrity make adjust to the american taste, but in this case they gone beyond the limit.

     

    When I go to an italian restaurant, I expect to have antipasti (prosciutto, mozzarella, etc), primi piatti (pasta or risoto) and/or secondo piati (or piatti principalle - meat, fish).
