Tuscan Kitchen Restaurant / Tuscan Markets

Tuscan Kitchen and Tuscan Markets are part of Tuscan Brands, a restaurant, market and catering group that describes itself as the work of two generations of Italian food artisans with a love for hospitality and community. Its restaurants serve artisan Italian cooking made with quality ingredients and traditional techniques, and its markets let customers shop for Italian food. The group also handles private dining and catering for events.

Founder Joe Faro started the business by opening Tuscan Kitchen in Salem, New Hampshire, in 2010, and its success led him to expand with two Tuscan Markets, Toscana Italian Chophouse and Wine Bar, Tuscan Sea Grill and the Artisan Chef Catering Company. He went on to create Tuscan Village, a mixed-use development in Salem, New Hampshire, that combines retail, dining, residential and office space, and the group’s Massachusetts operations include Burlington.
