Tuscany in Wheeling Delights Dinners with Our Desserts

Posted on August 29th, 2017

At Tuscany in Wheeling we live by a few simple mottos. One of our favorites: “Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first.”

While we don’t really expect our guests to enjoy their dessert before their lunch or dinner, we do encourage all guests to “save room.”  We absolutely view dessert as more than an add on at the end of the meal. In fact, we consider it an essential final course.

Tuscany Executive Chef Bolla Loza has created an extensive dessert menu of traditional Italian sweets and unique specialties that provide a perfect complement to any of our lunch or dinner entrees.

Tuscany in Wheeling’s dessert menu includes the following amazing favorites:
