'Tosca', the newest Italian restaurant of Dusit Hotel Nikko, recently opened its doors with a flavorful menu and extensive wine selections for all Italian food lovers.
The name 'Tosca' comes from the famous Italian opera by Giacomo Puccini that premiered in 1900.The opera was a beautiful illustration of Italian culture and heritage and evoked a strong image and passion for things Italian. The name seamlessly links all attributes of the opera with the dining experience that await diners.
'Tosca' currently hosts breakfast for the hotel's Club Room guests as well as for business people and local residents who wish to enjoy breakfast in a quiet and executive surrounding.
Lunch and dinner are true Italian 'affairs'. Chef Alessio Loddo, who hails from Sardinia, Italy, uses only the freshest ingredients that provide surprising flavour combinations offering guests a modern interpretation of Italian cuisine. Diners can choose from a wide variety of a la carte dishes such as Fetuccine Al Nero Di Sepia Con Crema Di Porri Con Gamberoni (handmade squid ink fettuccine pasta served with fresh tiger prawns and a light creamy leek sauce reduction), Filettini Di Branzino Al Catoccio Con Verdurine Miste E Vino Bianco (oven-baked papillote of seabass with seasonal vegetables and white wine) among others.
'Tosca' takes pride in its wine list which consists of more than 160 items with an emphasis on "old world" wines - mainly from Italy and France. There are also "new world" wines from Australia, the USA and Chile. Another unique feature of Tosca's wine list is the sophisticated 'Verre de Vin' wine preservation system, which enables the restaurant's sommelier to offer guests an opportunity to sample a wide array of ultra-premium wines by the glass.
