This week’s obsession….

The antipasti menu at TusCA. Choose 1, 3, 5 or 7 items from the selection of the finest imported and TusCA-made Italian cheeses, meats, and vegetables. Served with a dazzling array of condiments.

Antipasti with Condiments

Cheeses: Taleggio and Burrata; Meats: Cacciatorino and Finocchiona

Eggplant Ravioli with Fresh Tomatoes and Ricotta

The best of Tuscany and California can be savored at TusCA, the signature restaurant of the Hyatt Orange County. Specializing in the hearty cuisine of Italy’s Tuscany region with an emphasis on seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, including herbs and produce from their own rooftop garden; farm to table is realized amidst the palm trees of the soaring 17-story atrium lobby.

Hyatt Orange County

When Anita (Mad Hungry Woman) and I dined at TusCA last week, Chef Laura DeMartin offered her personal attention and graciously described each of the dishes we ordered and details of the new Spring menu items which will make their appearance in April. We’re already anticipating another visit to try the wild boar that will replace the Pappardelle with Short Ribs Bolognese! Check in with Mad Hungry Woman for her upcoming review.

    I have to admit…when the antipasti are good, sometimes I just fill myself up with them and forget about the rest of the dinenr 🙂 seems like TusCA really has a great selection!

      @Sara – You would know! And, yes, they have a terrific selection – I believe the Finocchiona was made in-house, too.

    I am all about the antipasti. In fact, in our culture when you have company over, if the antipasti (or meze) is missing, you are a BAD hostess! 🙂

    I love the presentation of the antipasti dish. It kind of looks like a bento box!

    By the way, I nominated your blog for an award. Stop by and check it out when you have a chance!

    I’m feeling a trip to So Cal coming on, a nice relaxing lunch in a wonderful restaurant sounds so good to me. The anti pasti looks perfect, I would love this meal;-)

    Now, not only can I look forward to a visit in California…I can also add to that the anticipation of presenting myself at Tosca.
    I particulary would ask for the eggplant ravioli and be surprised with a dessert of the chef’s choice ;o)

    Have a great weekend Priscilla.

    Ciao, Claudia

      @FOODESSA Coconuts are actually the fruit/seed of the coconut palm. Coconuts sold in the US. are either brown, white or tender. Tender refers to young, immature coconuts that are shaped to look like large pencil tips and used for their water – the meat is gelatinous vs, the white meat of a mature coconut.

      Thanks for asking 🙂
