    We don’t go out to dinner often, but since discovering Tuscany Nokomis we have been there four times in 2025, bringing friends and family with us. We especially appreciate the early bird special menu which offers excellent choices at an affordable price. We have had the filet mignon, eggplant parm, chicken parm, beef burgundy, and veal Marsala, all excellent choices. Our friends and family have enjoyed their meals too. It has quickly become our favorite restaurant.

    Acqua Pazza is the Gem of the Wellen Park restaurant scene. All the staff are so friendly and accommodating. Place is beautiful inside. Even on Valentine’s night, the service and food was amazing. Manager Angela is the best. She makes you feel like family. She recently purchased a warm chocolate machine and has mastered the chocolate mix and can serve it in an espresso cup. It is amazing. We are hoping it is added to the menu soon as a dessert. It is rich and creamy and the perfect blend of dark and milk chocolate. I used to go to Brussels a lot and her presentation is better than the best in Brussels. The swordfish piccata, grilled octopus are amazing. The menu is very thought out and each dish is very special. Haley and all the bar crew are the best. Attentive, friendly, and just a pleasure to be with Restaurant is super clean and very modern. Bathrooms are beautiful with colorful tile walls. Yes, I highly recommend Acqua Pazza.

    Dinner was fantastic our waitress Marren did a fantastic job and was very attentive. The wine service was wonderful and great choices. He started with a gnocchi special. That was wonderful. We split that with three people as an appetizer. My wife and I had the linguine Pescatore, which was fantastic. Great pasta, and loaded with seafood. Her friend had the eggplant which was wonderful. Both dishes were so filled that we took leftovers home and there was no room for dessert unfortunately. Their dessert menu is delightful and next time I will have to make room.

    It was our first time there. We were so happy with all aspects of our experience. It’s a fun, classy vibe. The design and decorative choices are perfectly appointed. Our server Angela was so knowledgeable and assisted us in moving through our menu choices. Every suggestion she made was spot on. Her timing and attention to detail was much appreciated. The food was incredible, each course was delicious and the pistachio olive oil cake with gelato was over the top, wow. Matt the manager stopped by and we had a great conversation with him. Overall a 5 star experience.
