10Best Says

Offering a mix of old-world cuisine and Italian favorites, Aria Tuscan Grill leaves customers feeling like they've just visited their Italian grandmothers' kitchens. Diners rave about the Caramelized Gnocchi as well as the Steamed Mussels, served in a hearty plum tomato and Sambuca sauce. Main dishes like Osso Buco and Grilled Quail remind native Italians of home, while the rest of us are beyond satisfied by specialties like the Wild Mushroom Ravioli and creamy tiramisu.
