  Tuscany is an Italian restaurant and event venue set at the base of the Wasatch Mountains in Holladay, Utah. The property's history dates to 1878, when pioneer Rasmus Knudsen operated a flour mill on the site before his son established Knudsen's Grove, a campsite with cabins and an inn. The property later passed through several restaurant iterations before Aaron Ferer, together with Mark Eaton and Gary Francis, transformed it into Tuscany in 1996; today's kitchen and decor are shaped by owner Guy Wadsworth, who invests more than $100,000 each year in seasonal transformations of the property's rooms and gardens. Private events are hosted across distinct rooms and spaces, from the fireside Log Room — built around the site's original 1878 log ceiling — and the artful, stained-glass-domed Mural Room to the Wine Cellar and the conservatory-style Orangery. Outdoors, the award-winning Garden Patio & Grounds offers a rustic gazebo and shaded lawn for ceremonies and receptions beneath towering trees and ivy-covered stone walls. An extensive wine list and Tuscany's own Italian-inspired kitchen support events held in any of the rooms.
