If you are in the mood for authentic Italian cuisine than look no further than Tuscan Blu, which is in the historic depot district of downtown Raleigh.
Tuscan Blu brings a taste of Tuscany to the ever-growing downtown restaurant scene.
Chef Maurizio Privilegi grew up in Tuscany and watched his mother and grandmother cook the dishes that make Tuscany an iconic region for food lovers.
When you think Italian, you might automatically think pasta, but Chef Privilegi offers a variety of other dishes including fish, steak, veal, shrimp and scallops.
Along with the authentic cuisine, the decor brings the flavor of Italy right to your table giving you a real 'trattoria' style atmosphere.
