Review : Tosi's Restaurant

One of the best restaurants in the little town of Saint Joseph is Tosi's Restuarant. Located on a woodsy road and right next to Bit of Swiss Bakery. What does that mean? Every meal is served with fresh baked bread from right next door, either with olive oil and fresh-grated Parmesan or butter, and the dessert plate always offers something different and delicious.
Tosi's is almost like having four restaurants in one. There are separate dining areas once inside that each feel like a separate venue. My favorite is a smaller area that feels like a cafe in Florence, with an entire wall painted and lit with tiny LED lights that make you feel like you are dining overlooking the city. They also have an expansive veranda to dine on, as well as an herb garden in back.






The Florentine room also has an authentic brick oven, where you can watch them prepare your wood-fired pizza. (I recommend the Goat Cheese Pizza with red and yellow peppers, caramelized onions and fontina. Yum!) They make the crust pretty thin, and then it's delivered to you bubbled and crispy with the flavor from the wood-burning fire.






Along with an ever-changing array of breads and desserts, Tosi's also brings in seasonal favorites, like battered squash blossoms and fresh fish specials. They also have over 150 wines and their martinis and bellinis are oh-so-delicious. So if you are ever in the area and want to dine somewhere a little nicer, head to Tosi's and enjoy the experience!







I give Tosi's a 4 Star rating, out of 5... and I can't wait to go back!

Epicurean Classic

I must say that I'm super excited that the Epicurean Classic has moved to my town of Saint Joseph, Michigan. It will surely be an event to remember and is gaining steam in the foodie community. Watch out Food and Wine Festival. I can't wait to attend this great event, sponsored by my favorite brand, KitchenAid!
