Tutto Fresco is a wonderful Italian restaurant. I thoroughly enjoyed the food, it was made with fresh ingredients and did not take long to make even during brunch on a busy Saturday afternoon. The spinach ravioli was tasty, and great with marinara sauce. The vegetable pasta was incredibly fresh. The ambiance in the ... restaurant makes for a really relaxing lunch with plenty of natural light and plants/decorations. I simply docked one star on service because we had to repeatedly ask for things before they accommodate us. Read More

Sat at the bar and our bartender River was simply awesome! Great recommendations for food and drinks! Such good white sangria and the prosciutto, pear, goat cheese super filling and delicious. Oh and the key lime pie is a must!

Delicious authentic family cuisine and atmosphere. The food is as good as when it opened and customer service to a higher standard. I love this place. Short rib pasta and chicken Parm with sweet potatoe fries and salted caramel gelato for dessert.

Just had lunch here with 12 friends and they all loved it. I have eaten here many times and the food and service is always outstanding. Kathy was our server and she gave us separate checks for each couple and she took great care of us. Fast and friendly service and delicious food. It was the first time for many of ... our friends to eat here and they all want to come back. We have another get together here planned for dinner with 18 of our neighbors. Eating on the beautiful patio is the perfect setting for our event. I love the lasagna and short rib pasta, My husband had the lamb chops and said they were delicious. Another friend really enjoyed the chicken pot pie. So many entrees to choose from. This is one of our favorite restaurants. Can’t wait to try the French toast for breakfast some day. You can’t go wrong at Tuttofresca. Read More
