Fabulous Friends and Fabulous Food

In an earlier post I said that my dream job would be traveling the world, visiting sites, eating at fabulous restaurants, and writing reviews... Well tonight was one of those fabulous restaurants.

I met my friends Lynne, Becky and Rhonda in SLC for our annual holiday get together. We ate at Cucina Toscana. It is located at 300 S and 300 W in SLC. If I closed my eyes I could imagine that I was in Italy again. The tables were located close together- just like Italy and the food was amazing.

We started with a complimentary appetizer of bruschetta. Then we ate the ceasar salad (they make it at your table), followed by pasta (the gnocchi is to die for- especially with the mushroom sauce), and ending with dessert of chocolate mousse cake (layers of chocolate cake, chocolate mousse, and frosting that is like fudge) and gelato (fresh, creamy and delicious).

The service was very good. Definitely worth at 20% tip. If you go, make reservations in advance. Once I called the day of and they were booked. Also, it is a little pricey, but worth it for a special occasion.

And of course the "Friends" part was just as terrific. I have known these ladies for almost 18 years and they are the best. I miss seeing them more regularly.

Life is Good! Happy Holidays
