I had a team Happy Hour here. A lot more people arrived than expected based on the RSVPs. Not to worry though, there are three outdoor patio areas and we took up an entire one to ourselves. Delicious bottles of wines, tons of appetizers and then someone started ordering entrees. This was yesterday, I'm still full today. Food and all the drinks were amazing. Service was excellent If you can get a big group going I recommend coming here and ordering a ton of options so you can try a little bit of each. Highly recommend during Happy Hour too.
This location always has amazing service and great ambience! their catering service is also amazing and we use it often!
Tutto Fresco in keeping with Olympics! Thank you for going above and beyond. Combining excellent food, lovely ambiance, with outstanding service. I have dined at your restaurant a number of times and it never disappoints. A family friend from RSM recently moved away, preparing for a visit I asked her what I could bring. She said Tutto Fresco meat sauce and bread w dipping oil I wasn't sure but Lori and team put it all together along with oil and seasoning in a bottle. Container she could freeze the sauce. All very affordable! Going out of your way keeps customers coming back for more
Returned to Tutto Fresco for my favorite tuna melt ever! It wa surprisingly open for a Saturday around 11am, however in the future I would opt for a reservation on the weekends as I have seen this place get packed. The staff are always very friendly and attentive. Their menu offers a variety of items including breakfast/brunch and lunch options on the weekends. We love their tuna melt and would recommend it 100x over. Thank you for another great experience!
Tutto Fresco: Great Food, Slow Start Tutto Fresco offered a delicious meal with a minor hiccup at the beginning. Here's a breakdown of the experience: Room for Improvement: Seating Delay: Our reserved table wasn't quite ready upon arrival, with the previous party's dishes still present. A short wait ensued for the table to be cleaned. Redeeming Qualities: Attentive Service: Our server was professional and attentive throughout the meal, making sure our dining experience improved after the initial wait. Culinary Delights: The food was the star of the show! The calamari, Mediterranean chicken, gnocchi al carne, and short rib pasta were all delicious. Overall: Despite the initial wait, the delicious food and attentive service turned things around at Tutto Fresco. If you're looking for a great Italian meal, I recommend giving them a try, but be prepared for the possibility of a slight delay, especially on busy nights. Rating: 4 out of 5 stars (deducted 1 star for the wait at the table)
This place has improved since my last visit. Our waitress Megan was super nice and accommodating. I came here with family and we had a prior reservation for lunch. We got a half booth table inside. This place is very open and bright, even inside. To start I got an unsweetened peach iced tea to drink. It was really good and refreshing. For starters we got the fried artichoke and calamari. Both appetizers were really tasty and the servings were generous. For my entree I split a ciabatta chicken sandwich with my Mom. The sandwich had pesto mayo that gave it a nice nutty and creamy flavor. It also had a side of fries and they needed more salt and we had to ask the waitress for some salt. I was surprised there wasn't any salt on the table. Another issue we had was that my Aunt and Uncle had ordered soup to start, but they never received it, but our waitress gave it to them to go, at the end of the meal. Other than that, we had a nice lunch here with good service and good food.
I don't even like Italian food, but this is the best chicken piccata and eggplant parmigiana I've had in a long time. Option A: Go here, get full on the free bread, receive your entree and bring 50% of it home, boom free lunch by girl math. Option B: Go here, get full on the free bread, receive your entree, tell yourself you're not going to eat the whole thing, then proceed to eat the whole thing, get some pepto bismol, fall asleep at 1am because the food is still all the way up your neck.
Food - OMG the focaccia offered as an app is the best thing you'll ever have. Each basket of bread was warm and fresh from the oven. Each bite was buttery and super soft. I typically don't go overboard when it comes to free bread because I want to reserve room for the meal, but it was incredibly difficult to refrain from having just one more piece. We ended up asking for 2 rounds of bread. Steak and Greens salad - this salad was generously portioned with several slices of steak, lots of greens, and uber crispy potatoes. The steak could have used a tad more seasoning, but those potatoes were out of this world. I'm sensing a theme here that the carbs at Tutto Fresco are solid. Ambiance - I absolutely adored the open-air patio and the decor. It felt very much like how I'd imagine summer in southern Italy to be. It felt like the perfect place to lounge for an afternoon or a celebratory meal. Service - was a little slow, but we dined at an odd hour of the afternoon. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here at Tutto Fresco and I cannot wait to return just for the free bread.
