Pattaya November 2018

signed to complement the many dishes
on the menu.
As the name suggests, Toscana features
cuisine which is almost uniquely
derived from the Tuscany region of northern
Italy. In keeping with this theme, it’s
probably no surprise that although Toscana
stocks wines from all over the Italian
peninsula, the majority are sourced
from Tuscany.
All told, there are 60 red wines and
31 white wines from which to choose.
There are also nine choices of prosecco
(otherwise known as sparkling wine). As
mine host Luca says, prosecco is a kind
of Italian champagne, but made from
different grapes than what most people
know as champagne.
Three choices of lambrusco (also referred
to as sparkling red), either dry or
sweet, and four Rose wines add further
depth to the Toscana wine list.
Customers can also choose from the
selection of house wines – three red and
three whites – all of them are IGT (that
is, certified from the region they come
from). They can be served by the glass,
or in quarter-litre, half-litre or one litre
carafes.
The comprehensive variety of wines
in Toscana can be gauged by the incredible
difference in value: from as little as
1,300 baht for a bottle up to 20,000 baht
a bottle for the finest wine in the house.
To further enhance the experience for
lovers of wine in Toscana, all the wines
are stocked in the Wine Cellar located
inside the fine dining section of the
restaurant in a specially-built temperature-controlled
cellar. As Luca notes,
this ensures the wine is consistently
good. Customers can order direct from
the menu or go into the cellar, select the
wine they desire and have it brought
back to their table.
In many places wine is stored on
shelves in the restaurant, which means
when the restaurant is closed the air-con
is off so the bottles of wine experience
regular changes in temperature.
For customers who’d like to have a
beer while sampling the unique Toscana
ambience, real Italian Peroni beer is
available both on draught and in bottles.
There are also 26 different types of
grappa drinks from which to choose.
The Moom Talay Thai Restaurant and
Trattoria Pizzeria TOSCANA Restaurant
are located on Beach Road, Pattaya
(between Soi 6 and Soi 7)
