After a course of continental seafood, the rustic seafood repertoire of Italy's pastoral Tuscany comes to the city with dollops of cheese, drips of wine, and hint of basil topped with the classic sun-dried cherry tomatoes at the restaurant Casa Toscana.
Serving quintessential recipes from the region like 'Seafood Saffron Risotto' (saffron infused rice with assorted seafood) and 'Pan Seared Sea Bass' (a staple fish dish), the restaurant offers a unique twist to the Italian phenomenon known as pizza - the 'Pizza Ai Frutti De Mare' or one featuring the toppings of "fruits of the sea".
"The pizza dough is hand-made and baked with octopus pieces, calamari or squid, and prawns. Cherry tomatoes (small tomatoes) and basil (the Indian tulsi) are added to impart the characteristic aroma and flavour," a representative of Casa Toscana told IANS.
