Our Story
In the mid-1980’s, Mike Gordon received a birthday gift that would change the trajectory of his life. It was a day spent with the legendary Wolfgang Puck who taught Mike how to eye the finest, freshest ingredients at the farmers market, and how to use them to take recipes to the next level. The experience proved to be the impetus for Mike, his wife, Kathie, and their dear friend, Doc Severinsen to open Toscana… the oldest child in this family of restaurants, located on a corner in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Building a family takes commitment. It takes nurturing, faith, hard work, and above all, love. While members of a family may have different tastes and personalities, they’ll always share a common bond. The same can be said for our family of restaurants known as the Toscana Restaurant Group.
