“ Tutto Fresco was an absolutely splendid dining experience. From start to finish, the food is fantastic. I could’ve lived off of just the table bread, but naturally I had to order an actual meal, so I went with the spaghetti and meatballs. For dessert, I had the tiramisu which comes in a giant glass. I was stunned when I saw how big it was and washing it all down with some of the limoncello made for a full Italian experience. The staff were also very nice. ”
“ Went here the first time in the rain and it was pretty dead inside, which ended up being great. Very basic and quaint interior that’s welcoming and traditional. Service was incredible, my wife is Gluten free and the GM came over and told us everything on the menu that could be made GF and the server was just as nice and responsive. Good bread to start, we got a complimentary soup and salad which were both solid, and I got the diavola which was incredible. Large portion, huge tender shrimp, and a delectably spicy red sauce. Will absolutely go back and highly recommend. ”
“ A wonderful gem. The grilled calamari was delicious. My wife’s risotto was perfect and I had veal vessuvio that was absolutely outstanding. ”
“ This place has very good Italian food that’s reasonably priced and with good portion sizes. The staff was also very friendly. ”
“ We love this spot for brunch! Amazing pasta, bottomless mimosas, awesome salads and you must get the afogato for dessert! Service incredible! Can’t wait to come in the summer and sit outside. ”
“ Truly one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten! Outstanding service. Very close to The Athenaeum, so nice before or after an event there; but we may drive into the city just for dinner. ”
“ Charming little neighborhood restaurant within walking distance of The Athenaeum - a perfect pre-show location. The shrimp in both dinners was cooked to perfection, service was prompt, friendly, and not intrusive. We left feeling well-fed and well cared for! ”
“ Tutto Fresco exceeded all expectations. Samuel P was our server and he was AMAZING. The service was impeccable—my glass of water was never empty, and the staff was attentive without being overbearing. We ordered the shrimp risotto and a custom salmon risotto, and both were absolutely outstanding—rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. A cozy spot with incredible food and top-tier hospitality. Highly recommend. ”
