Last night we treated ourselves to dinner out. We almost went to 2-3 places before settling on the Tuscan Grill. This restaurant has the most beautiful setting. It is located on a bluff overlooking the Guadalupe River which has been dammed up in several places and is quite wide and deep at this location. You park on the street and walk onto the roof of the restaurant and then either wind your way down into the building via a ramp or stairs. We were seated at a table by the window and could watch the ducks swimming down the river and the sun setting behind the hills of Kerrville.
We ordered bruschetta which arrived with our beer (Texan) and wine (Italian). HW2 also ordered a salad Gorganzola which had a reduced balsamic dressing. I tasted her salad, and it was very good. I finished the bruschetta, which is toasted bread topped with diced tomatoes, basil, cheese, and onions.
For the main dish HW2 had veal picatta, and I had scallops wrapped with prosciutto ham over linguini in a sauce of reduced white wine, garlic, and tomatoes. We each tasted both items and pronounced them wonderful. At the end of the meal we were visited by the owner/chef, who hoped we had enjoyed the meal, and we assured him that we did. When asked where he had studied to learn the fine art of Italian cooking, he replied, "I ate and drank my way across Italy... well, mostly drank." He certainly served up credible Italian fare for us. Would we go back? In a heartbeat! Now you knoow one of the many reasons we like to stay in Kerrville.
