Chef Greg LaPrad and sous chef Anthony Andiario ride their vacation high with a culinary take on Tuscany.

Fresh off the plane from a trip to Italy, the kings of the Quiessence kitchen have cooked up a tasty looking menu for next week's special dinner (6:30 p.m., Aug. 16, $75 per person, plus $45 for wine pairings -- call 602-276-0601 for reservations).
