|
Fort
Lauderdale, FL – June 2019 / Newsmaker Alert / Tuscan
Prime, a concept by the MONTE Restaurant
Development Group (MONTE RDG), is now open in the heart of downtown
Fort Lauderdale on Las Olas Boulevard. Based in Annapolis, Maryland the
restaurant group brings their 30 years of experience in the restaurant
industry to Fort Lauderdale. MONTE RDG also manages fast casual concepts
Squisito Pizza and Pasta, and Meatballs, Etc., as well as fine dining restaurant
Carpaccio Tuscan Kitchen & Wine Bar. Tuscan Prime, the latest concept
by proprietors Michele and Gennaro DiMeo, is the twelfth restaurant open
for the group and marks their expansion into Florida.
Opening
in Fort Lauderdale has been a dream of owners Michele and Gennaro for years
and is the perfect addition to the food scene on Las Olas. Tuscan Prime
is located on Las Olas Boulevard and the corner of SE 5th Avenue amongst
some of the leading restaurants in South Florida. From exquisite ambiance
with upscale décor to perfected menus, no detail was overlooked
for the Italian Chophouse. Gennaro, a native of Naples, Italy, has worked
diligently to highlight elevated Italian classics and the best cuts of
steaks and has married them with their perfect wine pairing. Every meal
at Tuscan Prime is refined from the moment each guest walks through the
door.
Tuscan
Prime has an agenda of “Prime Happening’s” with a new theme each day of
the week. From live jazz brunch on Sundays featuring unlimited mimosas,
bellinis & aperol spritz to a Christian Louboutin raffle every Tuesday
for Ladies Night, the restaurant will feature it all! Click to learn more
about the prime happenings.
When
you enter in Tuscan Prime, you are greeted by the Olive Tree Lounge, hung
with crystals and lights, giving the true feeling of being under the Tuscan
moon. Every inch of the restaurant is perfectly executed and inviting from
the handmade floor imported from Italy to a hand painted design starring
Dorotea Mercuri, the hottest model in Milan. The mezzanine overlooks the
dining room, bar and lounge and is the perfect space for private events
such as cocktail hours, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, and business
luncheons. If you’re looking to book a party or plan your next event, contact
our Director of Marketing & Catering, Anna Sagliano at anna@tuscanprime.com.
Tuscan
Prime’s menu is the ideal combination of Italian classics, prime cuts,
and modern cuisine. Highlights feature an extensive weekend brunch menu
and a prime happy meal that is perfect for the elevated diner. Skip the
toy, and enjoy a delicious burger paired with truffle fries and a split
of moet. Entrees include a Lamb Ossobuco with fresh gnocchi, pistachio
encrusted tuna, and a prime bone-in ribeye that is paired with a sauce
trio of Brunello reduction, creamy horseradish, and bearnaise. Entrees
range from $18 to $124 making it accessible to all diners and the perfect
fit for any occasion.
“I
am so excited to finally bring our vision to Las Olas Boulevard in Fort
Lauderdale, an undertaking that both Gennaro and I committed to over three
years ago when we fell in love with the Las Olas area. Our commitment to
cool vibes, great food and upscale décor will be the perfect addition
to the Las Olas food scene. We’ve hired amazing staff paired with amazing
recipes to bring the ultimate dining experience to all.” Said Michele DiMeo,
proprietor of Tuscan Prime.
Tuscan
Prime is located at 401 E. Las Olas Blvd in Fort Lauderdale. It is open
seven days a week for lunch and dinner and offers brunch on the weekends.
The restaurant will host a formal grand opening later this summer to officially
launch their opening in South Florida.
