Always an amazing experience at BV Tuscany!! I had the grilled scallops with pear segments that was a special appetizer-just delicious. And then the sea bass with vegetables and a very delicate light sauce--outstanding! The fish was cooked perfectly. The cocktails were great--the waiters really know about spirits and what to pair with what. Finished with the sublime tiramisu. Great night!

First time here. Nice Mediterranean cuisine. Well prepared. Wait staff was mostly Turkish and was helpful in explaining menu choices and recommendations. Bottles wine choices were marked up a little higher than I thought they should be. But that is not a reason to avoid this Mediterranean gem.
