Goodbye, Trattoria Tosca.
A message on the restaurant's website reads: "Regrettably, we have closed Trattoria Tosca after 10 good years in the Linden Hills neighborhood. We do not anticipate that it will reopen. Thank you for you patronage."
Tosca's original chef was 24-year-old Adam Vickerman. If that names looks familiar, it's because the talented Vickerman was also the longtime chef at McLain's other full-service restaurant, Cafe Levain.
Here's a welcome bit of news: owner for anyone holding gift certificates to the restaurant, owner Harvey McLain will redeem them for food, merchandise or cash at any of his three Turtle Bread locations. One is next door to the shuttered Tosca, another is at 48th St. and Chicago Av. and the third is at 34th St. and 42 Av. S., all in Minneapolis.
