Restaurants near Oscar Scherer State Park

We don’t go out to dinner often, but since discovering Tuscany Nokomis we have been there four times in 2025, bringing friends and family with us. We especially appreciate the early bird special menu which offers excellent choices at an affordable price. We have had the filet mignon, eggplant parm, chicken parm, beef burgundy, and veal Marsala, all excellent choices. Our friends and family have enjoyed their meals too. It has quickly become our favorite restaurant.

We enjoyed our dinner last night very much! The service was great and our food was well prepared! And the views from the 2nd floor deck were amazing!

Cody was hands on. Detailed information for our many questions. I can be a pain. lol. Cheif did a fine job for our special diet needs. Took a friend there for the first time. She was very pleased. Two of us got the lobster tail. I got the glazed grouper/shrimp. Very moist. Ended with the key lime pie which is unique to the restaurant and an Expresso Martini. Oh and thank you for allowing us to push our reservations back a few hours.

Have eaten here several times and it is always outstanding. Glad they reopened after the damage from the hurricane. Menu is always interesting, food excellent, service excellent (Chris was our latest waiter), table by the water gives excellent view even of the Osprey nest not far away. Though "pricey", it is always an exceptional experience and one we always remember and look forward to.

What a beautiful place to celebrate any special event. The service was top notch our server Julia was so attentive and pleasant she made the night more enjoyable. The food was delicious everyone at the table was pleased. The chicken, duck, steak, fish and meatloaf all was cooked to perfection. I believe this was the first restaurant we went to where not a single dish received a complaint. Even the pickiest eaters had nothing negative to say. Thank you so much for an amazing experience.
