🤠 Howdy TATM Friends!

Wow… our first night of Cowboy Tacos was a huge success! 🌮🔥 We served up 120 tacos, and it was the perfect surf & turf kickoff.

The crowd favorites? Our “Vaqueros Style” Filet Mignon — fire-grilled and basted with spicy Cowboy Butter — and our Blackened Alaskan Cod topped with our spicy Salsa Verde. 🌶️

The margaritas were flowing, the cowboy hats were out, and a rootin’ tootin’ good time was had by all! 🍹🤠

We can’t wait to welcome you back for night two tomorrow. Come join us for more tacos, margaritas, and a little spicy fun!

🌮 See you at TATM!

🍝 Dear Friends of T&T (Tucci & Tuscany)…

Stanley’s Pasta alla Nerano took the top spot again last week, but by popular demand we’re bringing back a guest favorite tonight…

✨ Tortellacci — tortellini on Italian steroids! Filled with slow-braised, fork-tender short ribs, served over roasted butternut squash purée, finished with Parmigiano and our beloved sage brown butter sauce.

You’re welcome… 😉

The Classic Affogato ☕🍨

So many guests tried it for the first time… and almost everyone ordered it again.

Hot espresso. Cold vanilla gelato. Simple, timeless, and absolutely delicious.

Safe to say it’s here to stay.
