We had a family get together and can say we had a most enjoyable evening. Our server was always there when needed but never obtrusive. The food was delicious; everything thing we ordered was perfectly done. All this served in a great space.

Our daughter found Tutto via social media and wanted to try it out while she is in town. We are so pleased that she found it. It was an early dinner which was therefore not at it's peak buzz, but I can imagine it gets going. The food was amazing, staff equally so, thus I'd recommend going for a lovely experience.

We love coming here and almost always have the lobster salad. The bread is also yummy. We shared the pumpkin soup, also delicious if not quite hot. The sparkling wine was fine, but it would be nice to have a choice, perhaps a good Prosecco. It is very French in menu and ambience, relaxing and fun even though it always seems so busy and noisy at lunch, especially at Christmas time. And we always feel well taken care of. Not sure how they do it, but here’s to coming back in 2025 for our special occasions.
