Date Night at the Fat Tuscan

We are always looking for fun new date night ideas, which is why we chose to take a cooking class with a few of our friends. At the 'Fat Tuscan’, we were able to enjoy an intimate setting together as a small group. It was such a wonderful experience. Not only did we get the opportunity to cook and have great wine, but also the atmosphere tied it all together. These classes take place in a beautifully preserved historic home in downtown Gainesville.

Arguably, an establishment is only as good as the people who represent it. Chef Michelle made this such a phenomenal experience. We could see that she truly enjoys what she does. She was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. She shared stories with us about her love for cooking, as well as her background and family. We very much enjoyed the conversation. She guided us through preparing our four course meals. We started with a delicious bruschetta, and ended the evening with a mouthwatering tiramisu. Each course was paired perfectly with a glass of wine to compliment and enhance the bold flavors of our meal.

We cannot say enough about the wonderful evening we had at The Fat Tuscan. This is the ideal place for a date night, or even just a friend’s evening out. If you are a person who likes to gift your loved ones with experiences as opposed to items, this could be the perfect present. Nothing is better than cooking, eating, and creating memories.

Salud!!
