Very cozy nice place, excellent service and ambience, delicious flatiron steak. Maybe come up with a couple more cocktails? Only gin based drink is summery gin and tonic, on rocks… feels like a couple more would be amazing!

First time going to Tutta Bella. We were at the Wallingford location. The parking lot is small, so be prepared to park on the street. We had a reservation for 5 people and arrived 10 minutes early. They had our table set and ready for us. When first walking in we first noticed amazing smells. The staff were courteous and sat us immediately. The decor and ambiance is urban casual. Noise level is moderate. We had drinks and appetizers which we all liked. The menu is limited to some salads, pizza and pasta dishes. My wife and I each had a pasta dish which was very good. My son and daughter each had pizza which had a good crust and the flavors were quite good. We will go there again when in the area. Wish they would open up a location where we live in Bellingham.

Absolutely loved every single dish we got. One of the best meals I’ve had in a while, and as a group of four, we got to try a lot of things. Great drinks, great atmosphere. I definitely plan on coming back!
