ABOUT US
In the tradition of Italy's trattorias, the sights, sounds and aromas of authentic Italian cuisine are recreated fresh everyday at the Tuscan Oven. Combining the finest ingredients with the talents of gifted chefs, the Tuscan Oven is proud to offer everyone who enters their doors with a delicious meal that takes on the feeling of a culinary journey through the Tuscan countryside. The entire experience is recreated in the Italian style, right down to the smallest detail, from the wood-fueled brick ovens to the authentic Italian sounds and atmosphere that transport everyone inside to a world unmistakably Italian.

But the Pirraglia family is not about to rest on its laurels - owners Anthony and Karen are well aware that providing people with the finest in Italian dishes requires evolving with the culinary world in order to ensure that they are offering the finest creations possible. Consequently, the Tuscan Oven chefs at our Norwalk and Mount Kisco locations make frequent trips to Italy to learn about recent Italian culinary trends. The Pirraglias make a trip to Italy every spring and autumn to ensure that their restaurants remain authentic replications of the Italian dining experience.

The Pirraglia family's commitment to excellence is evident in their membership in various organizations dedicated to the advancement of authentic Italian cuisine both in the United States and abroad. One such membership is with the Gruppo Ristoratori Italiani (GRI), an American-based group dedicated to the awareness and image of fine Italian dining establishments and the preservation of the continued tradition of creating true, authentic Italian culinary masterpieces. Anthony Pirraglia is proud to serve on the GRI's Executive Board. This involvement has helped the Tuscan Oven get noticed by renowned reviewers across New York and Connecticut, including Florence Fabricant, who has written about the Tuscan Oven in the New York Times.

The Tuscan Oven has worked with the Italian Trade Commission, has been highlighted in the New York Times, New York Post and on WOR Radio. The Tuscan Oven family is also proud to regularly host community-based educational events on Italian foods, wine and culture at locations such as the MET, Museum of Modern Art and the Washington Press Club.

The Tuscan Oven is proud to share its strength through these strong memberships and affiliations. This sense of community has advanced the promotion of fine Italian cuisine as a whole, something everyone at the Tuscan Oven values dearly. The Pirraglias and everyone at all both Tuscan Oven locations strive to be very much a part of the community, both in the New York and Connecticut areas and the world as a whole.

Through efforts like continuous contributions to the Red Cross's Tsunami Relief Fund and private donations to worthy cultural bastions like the Northern Westchester Center for the Arts, the Tuscan Oven hopes to improve the communities we call "home", both near and far.
