After moving to The Woodlands from Italy over two years ago, Tosca Italian Gourmet owner Maya Sretenovic Schiavo said she wanted a way to enjoy the tastes she was familiar with and had trouble finding at the time.

In December 2021, she opened Tosca Italian Gourmet with the help of her store manager Romina Marchisio to do just that. Sretenovic Schiavo said her restaurant brings together a variety of traditional regional Italian meals while adding a twist on local classics for breakfast, lunch and dinner services.
