Toscana Divino Per il Vero Italiano*

And now, under the direction of new executive chef Andrea Marchesin from Treviso, there’s a welcome addition : a new complementary menu they call “Moderna” that combines unlikely ingredients with classic dishes, uses new technologies, and unexpected plate presentations.

Maria was working as a diplomat at the United Nations in New York City, but she always wanted to have her artisanal sweets shop that would showcase tropical fruits and tastes, and use the finest 65% criollo chocolate from Venezuela, her place of birth (interestingly enough, despite the difficult economic situation in Venezuela,the artisanal chocolate industry continues to grow). Now her dream has come true at 1603 SW 8th Street in Little Havana.
