I put up the full review here:

The food was excellent today. I wasn't sure if maybe I should do Food and Wine, as it opened early. But I'm glad I chose Tutto Italia!

I put this photo up in another thread:

Nice review. The cost would have been $70 just for you?!

Yes!

I believe the prices were like this:

Steak $38
Not sure on ice tea (I don't see it on my ticket), maybe $3.00
Mozzarella $15
Tirimasu $9

That is $65, plus tax and tip. If doing the tax and tip, you'd actually be looking at closer to $85 for just me if paying cash.

The food is really different, definitely. And the prices are really higher.

The food was better than Alfredos of recent, in my opinion.

Yay! :clap: I was afraid Tutto Italia would fall short. Now for the real question: would you go back?

I'm going back with friends on Monday. So definitely, I'd go back (as long as I am on the DDP). For cash, I would say no - the only place I might try for that kind of money is Victoria and Alberts!

Since I don't do the dining plan I definitely won't be eating here but I'm glad to see that its a quality restaurant. Everyone was so worried that it would go downhill, I'm glad to see that it hasn't.

Also, do you have a larger version of this picture suitable for a desktop maybe?

I'll have to see which photo it is (the hot linking was getting to be too much, so you see we now have a little not!) How big would you want it, and I can email it to you.

I have a feeling that is was the NY Strip that put you over the edge on the price. Thats also a huge appitizer. Half of that for $8 or so would be better in my book.

So, how were the tomatoes? Any place that serves a dish like that better have a source for good tomatoes.

Everything looked nice. The plating on the main course is a little sloppy, but thats getting picky.

and $70 will just about pay for your beverages at V&A

Re: Tutto Italia Review

Man, I thought Alfredo was pricey ... and the prices went up from THAT!!!

At least with Alfredo you got the whole experience.

What did they do to the inside of the restaurant (I can't pull up the pictures at work). Is it totally redesigned? And most importantly, is the accordian guy still there?

It was the picture of SSE framed by palm fronds it looked like.

A resolution of 1024/768 would be great.

Re: Tutto Italia Review

the one time my family ate at alfredo's it was almost 200 bucks. and that was splitting an appetiser so 70 seems about right.

The meal definitely was a bit more expensive than Alfredos. My steak was $38, appetizer $15, dessert $9.00. Eye popping, but I'm on the free dining.

And I'll be going back!

Re: Tutto Italia Review

Hopefully this chain (group) will do a better job of running this place than they do at their locations out in SoCal.

What are the locations like in CA?

Re: Tutto Italia Review

They run three (?) resturants at DLR.

Catal
Napolini
Tortilla Joes

I have eaten at all three, once. The food and service at all three are lacking IMHO, and Catal was the nastiest food I have EVER eaten at the resort (Duck jerky and some over pureed potatos)

On a brighter note, the UVA Bar is also there location, and they put out some good cocktails...

I haven't been to any of those, I guess that is a good thing! The meal you had sounds terrible, but I also don't eat duck (I feed them!)
