The owners of Tuscany Courtyard, Khurram Khan, Sikander Bakhtiar, Aamir Rashid decided to re-open the restaurant after huge demand of Islooites and food lovers of the capital. The name of the restaurant is inspired from Italy’s Tuscany region, known for its beautiful countryside. After visiting Tuscany and being inspired by freshly baked, thin crust pizza and other Italian delicacies, the trio decided to open a place which would serve authentic Italian food instead of the regular desi/continental food most restaurants in Pakistan serve. “We have completely original Italian recipes, with a wide variety ranging from two tomato bruschettas to thin crust, specialty pizzas. We also have a proper Italian bakery on the premises,” Khan said. “The best thing is that in Islamabad you get the best view and weather, which creates the best ambiance for a restaurant.”

Tuscany offers the best of Italian cuisine in town and a wide range of food with bold flavors and fresh ingredients that can be enjoyed with absolute delight. The executive Chef at Tuscany, is a graduate from the Culinary Arts School in Switzerland, who has an experience of working at 5-star restaurants in Dubai. But the whole menu and the recipe perfection is done by Mr. Khurram Khan, who has decades of experience in the food industry and is a master chef himself.
