TusCA Restaurant Review: Although this hotel is located a couple of miles from Disneyland, don’t overlook this property for its many amenities and, more importantly, the hotel’s main restaurant, TusCA. The restaurant has the unlikely location of being smack in the middle of the lobby and open to the 17-story atrium. Don’t let the lack of ambience fool you, as Italian-born chef Laura De Martin has created an innovative and yet still authentic Italian menu. At lunch or dinner, start with the antipasti menu with its cheese plate with toast points, dried fruits and nuts, fig jam and organic honey. Or, begin with the spicy Manila clams or super fresh calamari. The thin-crust pizzas are good, but don’t miss the daily gnocchi selection. Chef De Martin shines in making her gnocchi light and flavorful, like the spinach and ricotta version with brown butter and a sage and cheese vellutata. We also enjoy the steak and the seared halibut with a rustic fennel, orange and thyme salad. The wine list is short but rather good and features mostly California and Italian wines. At meal’s end, try the dense and slightly salty chocolate caramel tarte. TusCA also features a buffet breakfast. |
