As much as I enjoyed going to this restaurant near my job, it didn’t merit being in the Austintatious section because it wasn’t that unique nor did it scream “Austin.” However I’m still bummed over it going away. I hadn’t been there for lunch in a while and when I went by during the holiday break, I figured they were taking the week off. It seemed logical because all those other places in the nearby office parks would be shut down too. Then I tried again another time with no luck. I peeked through the door and it didn’t look hopeful so I had lunch at the neighboring Riata Bar & Grill. I overheard a waitress say her place was picking up all the business left behind by Tuscany for three weeks and the rumor going around was that the place folded because the rent became too much.
Such a bummer. The people usually knew me by name and it was the last place around Apple to get a brick-oven-cooked pizza for lunch. Sadly, the other nearby choices for lunch are unhealthier: Whataburger, Chipotle and Schlotsky’s.
Thanks for the update, I was wondering what was going on. I kept stopping by and while they were always closed lately, there was no sign or anything visible indicating they were out of business.
