Exciting New Flavors at 3’s Golf and Grill in Greenville
Greenville is buzzing with excitement as chef Michael Toscano, known for his culinary magic in Charleston, brings his talents to 3’s Golf and Grill. Just off Villa Road and a stone’s throw from I-385, this cozy little spot is making waves in the Upstate dining scene. And trust us, it’s not just your average golf course restaurant anymore!
Welcome to the Squad!
Michael Toscano is not new to the culinary world—or to running a successful restaurant. Together with his wife Caitlin, he has established a reputation with beloved eateries like Le Farfalle, Da Toscano Porchetta Shop, and Da Toscano Fugazzi in Charleston, as well as another Da Toscano in New York City.
Now, thanks to a partnership with Davis Senza, the owner of 3’s, Toscano has ventured into the world of golf hospitality. This collaboration is about more than just delicious food; it’s about creating an inclusive space for everyone, from seasoned golfers to casual diners looking for a good meal.
A Menu to Remember
The menu designed by Toscano and executive chef Chris Wehking showcases a delightful mix of scratch-made dishes and international flavors. “It’s an eclectic menu for everyone,” Toscano shared, making it clear that this isn’t your typical club sandwich spot.
One standout is the 3’s Reuben, a twist on the classic that combines house-made corned beef, pepper vinegar collards, hoop cheese, and a grainy mustard sauce, all nestled between slices of Texas toast. Yum! And for those who enjoy a little heat, the chicken wings here get a Peruvian makeover—marinated for a full day, roasted, fried, and served with a flavorful Aji Amarillo sauce and fresh lime. It’s comfort food with a twist!
No Ordinary Golf Course Vibe
Step into 3’s Golf and Grill and you’ll find a charming atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. Roll-up garage doors let in the fresh air as diners enjoy stunning views of the beautiful golf course and surrounding greenery. The addition of firepits and Adirondack chairs adds to the relaxed vibe. Whether you’re there to tee off or just kick back with friends and family, this spot welcomes everyone.
A Bit of History
It’s fascinating to note how Toscano’s love for cooking began. Initially a golfer, he started working at a golf club as a teen and discovered his passion for the kitchen. After turning down a golf scholarship to follow his culinary dreams, he trained at prestigious venues like Pinehurst Resort, ultimately making a name for himself in the big leagues of New York City.
With his recent move to Greenville, Toscano has broad goals—not just to serve delectable food but to create an environment that feels welcoming and inclusive. He’s already shaking things up, with plans to enhance the beverage menu to focus more on local beers and a range of bourbons and whiskies. “It’s really about giving quality in a casual setting,” Toscano emphasized.
