    Tuscan Kitchen & Market in Portsmouth, NH

    Hi Everyone!

    I recently went to Tuscan Kitchen & Market in Portsmouth, NH for my father's birthday family dinner.

    We had a great time and I want to share about the food we had and some photos.

    I had never been there before and since this is a food blog, I thought it would be nice to include a restaurant review, the first one actually and let my readers in on the experience 🙂

    Just to catch up, at the time of my writing this post, I am visiting my family in the Seacoast New Hampshire area.

    I am now including content on Life's Little Sweets that is reflective of the places I travel.

    When I travel, of course, I am always looking for yummy food to partake of so I think that ties in perfectly with this food blog.

    Here are the photos from the evening with my family, I'll include some commentary between the photos:

    1. This is the market part and they have beautiful displays, produce, meat, gelato, and a bakery - really anything you could want. I didn't buy anything this time because we were going to our table but I will definitely keep it in mind for next time we pass through.
