Mouthwatering Pig Roast, June 23, At Trattoria Toscana

EXPERIENCE THE WARMTH AND FLAVORS OF SARDINIA, ITALY, RIGHT IN TEMECULA

Trattoria Toscana is one of the finest restaurants in Temecula serving authentic, homemade Italian meals that bring out the flavors of each ingredient. Chef Pietro Cinus carefully selects fresh, local, organic ingredients to create daily specials as well as imports from Italy to create more traditional Tuscan meals.

This Sunday you can also enjoy a unique cultural experience right here, in Temecula. A real family style Sardinian Pig Roast is such a treat. The meal is a lot of fun, served with exquisite wines, and other amazing culinary creations of Cinus.

When you enter the restaurant you can't help but notice the exquisitely crafted Italian window frames showcasing Tuscan hillside paintings. You have now been transported to a hilltop, in Tuscany, where you can enjoy tantalizing food, wine and a true Tuscan experience.

The meal begins with a selection of fine Italian cheeses served over Sardinian pane carasau. Cinus shows off his creativity by serving the cheeses several ways, bringing out and focusing on the different flavors in each cheese.

Next is Fusilli alla Puttanesca. Chef Cinus hand-makes all the fresh pasta he serves at the restaurant. This dish combines house-made

pasta of the day with tangy tomato, olive and caper sauce. It's simply delicious!

The Roasted Sardinian style pig takes all day to prepare but is well worth the wait. Cinus likes to roast the pig slowly and with lots of love... just like his grandmother taught him back home, on the Island of Sardinia. The meal is served with fresh grilled vegetables topped with extra virgin olive oil, parsley and garlic.
