The Fat Tuscan hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner this past summer, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was absolutely amazing, the venue itself was charming and lovely, and the owner Michelle was a delight to work with. From our first meeting with her we knew we had found a gem. We had planned to do the cocktail hour outside in the courtyard, but since we were getting married in Florida in the summer, that day it was pouring rain. The staff made it work no problem though, and the cozy atmosphere inside still allowed for warm conversation and mingling without being cramped. We had about 25 people which worked well with seating guests in the main dining room and two side rooms. The whole night and even since, everyone was asking how we found such a venue and how wonderful and unique the experience was to have the place all to ourselves. I can’t overstate the deliciousness of the food, and everything from the music in the background to the table settings made the rehearsal dinner an unforgettable moment in our wedding weekend. My husband and I have since purchased two of the cookings classes and can’t wait to spend more time at The Fat Tuscan.

My husband and I first took a cooking class through The Fat Tuscan a few years back and learned to make cream puffs and eclairs. The class was awesome and the treats we created were fun to make and yummy. My son has since taken both a pasta making and tiramisu class. My son and daughter attended one of the brunch’s there as well, and really enjoyed that. The staff is warm and inviting and you are made to feel at home! My son can’t wait for the next two classes he’s signed up for, gnocchi and basic breads! Oh, and the treat baskets that the staff made throughout the pandemic were yummy and well worth the price!
