Our daughter found Tutto via social media and wanted to try it out while she is in town. We are so pleased that she found it. It was an early dinner which was therefore not at it's peak buzz, but I can imagine it gets going. The food was amazing, staff equally so, thus I'd recommend going for a lovely experience.
