    A sublime meal with appropriate wine pairings (thank you again, Jill). I can not fault any aspect of the restaurant; it’s one of my favourites. My one minor complaint was that the scent worn by one of the servers was a little too generously applied and was wafting towards us as she moved around.

    We have had dinner at Tutto several times and this was our most favourite to date in terms of service and value. We had to dine early hence accidentally stumbled onto Happy Hour. This is the only restaurant I have been to that offers a good house wine during Happy Hour plus there was a nice selection on the Happy Hour food menu. Our server was delightful. Truly, Tutto is one of our favourites for dining out.

    “What a difference time makes! Had dinner at @locandadellorso when they first opened—good, but quiet. Tonight? Packed with a stylish, diverse crowd, timeless decor that’s perfectly balanced, and food that’s absolutely spectacular. And the service? Flawless. A total win on all counts.
