FranksWine is teaming up with longtime friend and neighbor Chef Dan Butler just a few blocks away at Toscana on the 3rd Thursday of each month!
FranksWine was in its fifth year… (the following three paragraphs are from Delaware Today Magazine)…when Dan Butler opened Griglia Toscana in 1991, Delaware diners were accustomed to red gravy houses with huge portions, checkered tablecloths and cheap red wine. Toscana’s dining room, however, was a study in minimalist style and boasted an open kitchen, a cutting-edge feature. Meanwhile, the menu showcased pizzas with smoked duck and arugula, risotto with porcini mushrooms and veal grilled with fresh herbs.
“My experience had been in Miami, Washington, D.C., and Tampa,” recalls the Culinary Institute of America graduate. But Butler wanted to bring his talent to his hometown. Smart move—residents were hungry for change. “People were very willing to have a more upscale [Italian] experience,” he says.
Rechristened Piccolina Toscana, the Trolley Square restaurant paved the way for modern Italian-inspired eateries, including Bardea Food & Drink in downtown Wilmington and Capers & Lemons in Hockessin.
