Tuscany Tavern | Evergreen
The wife and I were running late to see Chris Daniels & the Kings hold court at the Little Bear in Evergreen, but we needed to grab a quick bite. The resulting stop was the Tuscany Tavern, a family-owned taste of Italy. Tucked away on the lower level of a small shopping center, it wasn’t easy to find, but the charming atmosphere warranted a longer stay.
I was drawn to the hot, quick and tasty Penne all’Arrabbiata, the spicy marinara sauce of garlic, tomatoes and red chili peppers (arrabbiata means “angry” in Italian, hence the heat). This variation included bacon, onions and mushrooms sautéed in red wine. My better half enjoyed the gooey goodness of the Chicken Parmesan—thick, juicy boneless chicken breasts baked to perfection. We polished both off with no regrets. Dancing to Chris’ set on a full stomach wasn’t a good idea, but we’ll shimmy our way to Tuscany Tavern again.
