Toscana Brentwood has announced that they are on Wine Spectator’s list of 10-Great Family-Owned Restaurants with a Tradition of Wine via a post on their Instagram page. The post said, “We are honored to be included in @wine_spectator list.” They then take an excerpt from the list about their restaurant which states, “In the Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood, Award of Excellence winner Toscana takes pride in treating each guest like family.
Owned by husband-and-wife team Michael and Kathie Gordon, this hot spot combines Tuscan influences with a California setting, serving trattoria classics such as tagliatelle Bolognese, pollo al mattone (chicken under a brick) and bistecca con fagioli (steak with beans). Wine director Roberto Facciolla’s 340-selection list shares this dual emphasis, highlighting gems from both Italy and California.”
Congratulations to Toscana Brentwood. They added, “We’ll drink to that! Our Wine Directors work very hard to curate a diverse, well-balanced wine list that complements our Tuscan menu. It feels nice to have their efforts recognized. Grazie mille!”
