Toscana
In Italian, Toscana means Tuscan, and every aspect of this magnificent restaurant pays homage to this beloved region of Italy. Just as Tuscan cuisine evolved from rich family traditions, many of Toscana's recipes originated with the grandmothers and mothers of Oceania's own Italian culinary staff. Similarly, the sommeliers are from long lines of wine-producing families, so they inherently know the characteristics of each vintage, which ensures that their recommendations perfectly complement the simple yet keenly balanced Tuscan cuisine. Presented on elegant, custom-designed Versace china, each dish is a masterpiece that exemplifies the essence of Tuscany and celebrates Italy’s culinary passion.
