Always an amazing experience at BV Tuscany!! I had the grilled scallops with pear segments that was a special appetizer-just delicious. And then the sea bass with vegetables and a very delicate light sauce--outstanding! The fish was cooked perfectly. The cocktails were great--the waiters really know about spirits and what to pair with what. Finished with the sublime tiramisu. Great night!
