Bellissimo Gardens at Tuscany Reviews

The staff here was so kind and accommodating and we loved our wedding night! They have a beautiful venue and delicious food. Wouldn’t have changed anything about it!

Our wedding at Tuscany went very well. The restaurant location, decor, food and service was excellent but the most important factor which made that day almost stress free was Candice. She worked with us very closely on every aspect of the wedding preparations. She responded very quickly to our emails, was very accommodating to our requests including opening the restaurant an hour earlier because the wedding at our church was scheduled at 2:30pm. Candice was everywhere during the wedding reception, making sure that the important events were happening on schedule so we could relax and actually enjoy the wedding. She even helped to cut the cake.
We are definitely very grateful to Candice and the Tuscany staff for making our wedding relaxed and fun. We only heard good comments from all of our 92 guests. Well, actually there was only one reoccurring complaint from everybody that unfortunately time at Tuscany went way too fast.

If you want intimate and relaxing wedding celebration, please check with Candice at Tuscany and you won’t be disappointed.

Candice and the staff at Tuscany were amazing. We had a large group of folks gathering for Rehearsal Dinner and had last minute transportation issues. Tuscany assured us that they would wait on us and take care of us when we could get there. When we arrived, we had a beautiful evening as planned. And the food was incredible. All of our guests commented on how delicious everything was. A great evening!!!’ Thank you.

Tuscany was an absolute dream. The venue was an excellent size, and it was beautiful from the stone ground to the trees and vines to the adornment of string lights above the garden patio. I couldn't have asked for a better venue, and the team was outstanding. Candice was so supportive and INCREDIBLE the entire process. She made sure we were comfortable before the big day and during it.

Candice was simply amazing to work with and the venue is beautiful! The quality of the food and the service of all the staff members was exceptional! Our wedding day was perfect and we knew Tuscany was the right choice for us! We couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out on our special day! A huge, heartfelt thank you to Candice and all the staff at Tuscany!

Tuscany is the perfect wedding venue. Candice is AMAZING, she is organized, calm, jumps in when needed. The meditrranean atmosphere was perfect for a garden wedding and dinner inside. Our guests are still talking about how wonderful the food was and how great the waiters are and I am grateful for how accomodating, flexible and professional they are. Thank you Candice, John, David, and staff for making our daughters day PERFECT!!

I can't say enough about working with Tuscany on my wedding. Not only did they take a large portion of the stress off of me since, they worked so well with my vendor, but they themselves were the venue and the caterer. The food for the wedding was amazing and Candice really helped lead me the right way on what we should order for food, how the wedding was going to go, and how to accommodate people who were joining us for the party.

The venue is beautiful and large enough to really handle a party. The price was right. We bought the whole place and the only charge was a food and beverage minimum. It was a steal with the staff, booze, catering, and venue all rolled into one package. The food was hot, and SO delicious, the venue was beautifully decorated, and so charming that I nearly cried the day of because it was so pretty. They had a bridal room with a sperate entrance and bathroom all of our own. The men had their own space upstairs to get ready.

The real highlight of working with Tuscany is Candice. She was fun, friendly, calming, supportive, creative, caring, and really knew her stuff. She made planning the wedding seem easy and was my voice of reason when I needed it too. She also deals really well with inlaws.. just saying. She was full of ideas but was never pushy. She knew contingency plans for weather concerns and even had signals with her staff to make sure everything went well.

To say the least, the event went off without a hitch. The only tears that were shed by me on what was supposed to be a stressful day was at the altar when I was blubbering my vows to the man of my dreams. Candice handled it all. She never missed a beat. If anything went wrong on the day I still don't know about it because she solved everything and had it all down with lightning speed.

If you want a relaxed, fun, exciting wedding that is everything you ever wanted in a day and more, I highly recommend choosing Tuscany. If I were to do it all again, I would still choose to do it there!

I absolutely LOVED every second of my wedding day. The Event Director, Candice made planning my wedding so easy and stress free. She had answers to all my questions and had fantastic ideas when I did not know what I wanted to do. She is so easy to work with and was very organized. She and the staff made my wedding flow so well that everyone had such a blast- even my mom was able to relax and have fun knowing that Candice and her staff were on top of setting up the events of the night. The food was fantastic and the venue was stunning. I will ALWAYS recommend to future brides to have their ceremony or reception at Tuscany.

Candice was the first person I spoke to on the phone, I was calling from California. She is the event coordinator for TUSCANY and she is as lovely and personable in person as she was on the phone that first time. What a delightful experience it was to have EVERY little detail taken care of. The food was delicious and beautifully arranged for the patio buffet and the tables set perfectly around the provided patio heaters. We met with her only two times formally before the reception and I was well informed and had no worries. The venue is obviously very experienced in providing lovely parties. We had a sit-down dinner and dancing for 150 wedding guests.

I had my wedding reception at Tuscany restaurant in Salt Lake City, Utah on Saturday, June 18, 2016. I worked directly with Candice to plan all of the details of my event. I could not be happier with the experience I had and the service I received. My big day was an absolute dream come true. Every single detail from the gelato bar, to the beautiful patio which was surrounded by the most amazing flowers and foliage, to the amazing pasta, chicken piccata, salmon, bacon wrapped scallops, and bruschetta was total perfection ! They accommodated my wedding cake from Granite bakery, and my band, solid gold, and Candice even met me at Tuscany early the morning of the event and helped me put on chair ties and do my centerpieces. Candice and the entire team from Tuscany went above and beyond the call of duty! I worked with Candice for nearly a year before the event and she got back to every single one of my voicemails and emails within hours and sometimes just minutes of me sending them! She was so responsive, so organized, did not forget one of my requests, and made everything go smoothly on my big day. It was stress free and they truly accommodated me as far as the venue, the timing, The decorations, and the menu were concerned!! They made planning a wedding for 300 people so much more fun than I ever thought it could be. I would highly recommend Candice and the entire team from Tuscany for any of your big or small events :-). They are so classy, so fun, and throw an event that is 100% memorable and will be talked about for the years to come! Thanks to the entire Tuscany team and especially to Candice. I couldn't have done it without you and you truly made my dreams come true !

I can't say enough wonderful things about this as a wedding venue. You will not find better!!!! Candice, the event coordinator, is absolutely amazing!! She had everything organized and set up to perfection. She thought of things that had never occurred to me and had everything running smoothly.
This was my second wedding and I had the last one in a popular reception hall. The comparison is like silk to a sow's ear. The value for your money at Tuscany is FAR and away the best option.
The food was delicious and is still being raved about by our guests!
The hospitality and care of Don and the other servers was impeccable!
The grounds were well kept, lovely and set up hours before I even arrived.
And the crowning jewel of the event, Candice, can't be matched anywhere!
If you are considering getting married in the Salt Lake City - Tuscany can't be beat.
They made our wedding lovely, well run and stress free!!

To start off we did not have a large budget to work with. When searching for venues the estimated cost of the locations plus food and decor took us way over our limit for our small wedding of about 50 people. Then we found The Tuscany. The price was shockingly low and was perfect for our needs, and might I add how absolutely stunning it is, we didn't need to decorate anything, we added a few pictures to celebrate my husband and I, but had no centerpieces etc... and that was a huge money saver.
The food was incredible, the service impeccable, and we ran into no problems whatsoever... not a single one. The provided wedding planner, Candice, is absolutely amazing, we just loved her to death. She was helpful, and prompt, and offered up all of the information we needed and then some. Our guests adored her and her fun attitude :)

One of my goals was that none of my guests left hungry making a beeline for McDonalds, that goal was met and then some... everyone was stuffed to the brim! The downside? We have a TON of wedding cake left haha!

The closest you will get to Italy in Utah. With its quaint European atmosphere, incredible grounds covered with traveling grapevines and unique architecture, it was the perfect venue for a storybook wedding. The food was to die for, the porkchop melted in your mouth and the staff was the best I've seen around. I've been to many weddings here and other states and ours was the most beautiful and flawless. The grounds our so beautiful you need little decor, which helped with our budget. Kathleen our wedding coordinator was amazing from start to finish. I couldn't of asked for a more professional and sincere wedding planner. She found things for my wedding that I couldnt while she was on vacation and called me to see if she should get them for me! WOW.. is all I have to say!

We wanted a small intimate wedding with a beautiful backdrop and Tuscany was perfect. We had many compliments on how lovely the venue was. The food was excellent, the staff was great and they are very flexible to work with. It made it very simple having it at a restaurant not having to worry about different vendors for setup, a bartender and cateror. Candice at Tuscanys is the best. She is so sweet and was an absolute joy to work with.

It was a beautiful place to host a reception. It was very easy to do everything. It was also the cheapest place I found. It is so beautiful that you don't have to decorate, which makes everything that much cheaper. They provided all the linens. I did a luncheon which made everything a little cheaper as well.

They were great to work with throughout the planning process. The weather was bad and we had to move the wedding from the garden to inside and they were very accomodating. The wait staff was awesome, very responsive and professional. The food was delicious. Our guests were raving about it. I wish the buffet line had moved faster, but I think a lot of that was because we moved the wedding inside at the last minute. A few days after the wedding I stopped by to drop off a tip and thank you note to the coordinator there and she wouldn't see us - she didn't get the tip. That is really the only complaint I have.

Absolutely beautiful venue and amazing food. We were able to personalize our decorations and they were helpful with finishing touches.

Candice, the wedding coordinator at Tuscany was simply the best! She was so responsive and easy to get a hold of. She was very reassuring for every little detail. As for the wedding itself, it went perfectly. Candice was an expert in just about everything, from bow tying on my dress to pinning it when it got a tear in the beginning of the night. She was so easy to work with & checked in with me literally every step of the way.

The staff at Tuscany were absolutely fabulous. Not one of my guests had an empty wine glass or water glass the entire night. All my guests raved about the service and how attentive the staff were to their needs. They were extremely accommodating in every way, making our wedding absolutely perfect! I could not have chosen a better venue.

The scenery and the views of this place are also really beautiful. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for a classy meal & an even better experience.

Good:
*Great food
*Beautiful patio
*Outside and inside options
*Venue is beautiful "as is" and only needs personal touches of decorations
*Day of the wedding service was good
*Event coordinator was very helpful the day of the wedding and kept everything on track
*Venue is a nice place for bridal photos
*Romantic atmosphere

Bad:
*Event coordinator was nice, but took me on a bit of an emotional rollercoaster during the planning process. We would discuss something, and the next time we talked she had either forgotten what we had discussed or changed it in someway. I would suggest taking detailed notes and signing a contract at the very beginning.

*The grass in the ceremony area outside needs to be redone. There were large areas of dirt.

The ambiance and food were fantastic. We only encountered one problem: we had an evening reception and needed to have access to our banquet room early to decorate. We arranged for a specific time to come and decorate and were told that the restaurant would be open at that time (it was only open for dinner on the day we had our reception). When we arrived to decorate, no one would let us in, so we ended up decorating last minute as guests were arriving--which was definitely a headache. When we explained our problem to the staff, though, they were very apologetic and helped us decorate. Apparently there was just a miscommunication between the wedding coordinators and whoever was supposed to open the door for us. Overall, the staff was great to work with and they helped us create a beautiful event.

The Tuscany Restaurant provides a beautiful courtyard for a reception, and their catering options are very reasonable when compared to bringing in a separate catering company. With a certain (easily reachable) minimum, the location rental is free. They do require a deposit, but they will return it up to like a week before the event (confirm that with them, of course). For the money, they had the the most beautiful venue and the best food we could have possibly hoped for.

Even if you don't do a reception there, at least try them for a meal. So good.

Tuscany was wonderful. It is especially great if you're interested in forgoing the traditional reception and having an intimate dinner.

The inside and outside are amazing. Great venue.
