Tosca
$$$ | Italian

Tosca is charming Linden Hills with its seasonally inspired menu of scratch-made antipasti, pasta, and proteins. A charming ambiance, great service, and reasonable prices make it notable; a larger menu is all it needs to make it a weekly staple.

With their quiet sidewalk café, reasonable price points (pastas fall into the $10 range for half portions, $15 for a whole; entrees, or secondi do go into the twenty and even thirty dollar range, but for my money, I'm sticking with the primi side of the menu) this is where you want to be dining this summer.

Drawing on his experiences in Italy, Vickerman creates simple-seeming preparations that highlight often fleeting, seasonal ingredients, many of which are sourced from local purveyors.

It's eminently possible to enjoy a filling and satisfying meal of an appetizer, pasta, and a glass of wine for roughly $20.
