Italian food connoisseurs in L.A. have something to smile about as Sogno Toscano sets its sights on The Grove for its latest market and cafe. The purveyor, known for bringing a slice of Italy stateside, is slated to open its second West Coast location in one of the city's bustling shopping arenas. As per What Now Los Angeles, The Grove shoppers will soon experience a taste of Tuscany via an extensive menu and authentic Italian market offerings.

Opening its doors to Angelenos, Sogno Toscano will come with an impressive spectrum of Italian fare. The restaurant side will dish out Tuscan schiacciate, soothing soups, salads, and pinsa Romana, not to mention the pastas. And for those with a penchant for sipping on something exquisite, a wine bar and espresso bar will also be present. Inadvertently charmed by the tastes of Italy, the market is expected to offer premium meats, cheeses, and a myriad of other Italian staples.

Breaking onto the scene in 2008, Sogno Toscano has built a reputation for supplying authentic Italian products to restaurants across the United States. With roots deeply planted in the Tuscan countryside, founders Pietro Brembilla and Brian Persico migrated their passion and expertise to New York City in 2006 before spreading their wings further afield. In addition to its Santa Monica location at 1512 Montana Ave., the brand boasts two New York City locations and a strategic network of 10 distribution centers nationwide.

While The Grove anticipates the grand opening of this Italian gem, an official date for when these doors will welcome food enthusiasts remains to be set. Yet with the track record of Sogno Toscano, it's clear that they understand biding one's time is critical to perfect perfecting their craft. Eager patrons can only imagine the culinary delights that await, once the market lays out its spread complete with imported Italian goods and locally-sourced products from Italian artisans.
