Stopped in here to have a bite with a friend. Nice dim lighting creates a great ambiance. We were seated relatively quickly. Open seating in this occasion. Alejandro was very attentive to us. Not a long wait for our orders to be taken. They have an exquisite Salmon Salad. Dining area is very clean and organized. Either in-use or prepped for next customer use. Facilities clean and well maintained. Will surely return many times!
Definitely a 5-star rating! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you Tutto Fresco!
Thank you Stephen White!

Upon entering, we were warmly greeted by the cashier team. The cashier was kind and helpful, patiently guiding me through the menu as a first-time visitor. Once we were seated, the wait staff promptly provided us with sauce plates and, within minutes, served warm bread and olive oil, which tasted absolutely great. It’s worth noting that the olive oil had a strong flavor, so it’s best to be mindful of how much you dip your bread.
Our starter plate and salad arrived in less than five minutes, and they looked absolutely fabulous. The Caesar salad, made with romaine, croutons, parmesan, and Caesar dressing, was delicious, although the croutons were slightly dry. The bruschetta, prepared with tomatoes, red onions, garlic, basil, olive oil, and oregano, was a delightful combination of flavors on pre-cut toasted bread.
For the main course, my wife opted for the spinach ravioli with an add-on of gunuchi. The cheese-stuffed spinach ravioli, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and lemon pepper cream sauce created a creamy dish with a soft texture and a hint of zestiness and tanginess. It was a flavorful choice.
The baby lamb chops, accompanied by macadamia nut pesto, rosemary mustard sauce, and rosemary potatoes, initially had a slightly off taste due to the sauce. However, as I let it rest in my mouth, the flavors began to meld together, creating a more enjoyable experience. The rosemary potatoes were moist and well-seasoned, and the lamb chops were incredibly tender, requiring no assistance from the provided steak knife.
To finish off the meal, we indulged in the Chocolate Lover’s Cake, which featured chocolate fudge icing and Häagen-Dazs ice cream. The cake itself was as expected, rich and chocolatey. However, the raspberry drizzle around the plate elevated the dessert to a whole new level. I would suggest having the raspberry drizzle directly on the cake instead of on the plate for a more seamless experience.
Overall, my dining experience at Tutto Fresco: Fresh Italian was delightful, and I would certainly return when in the area. The combination of the wonderful atmosphere, warm customer service, and flavorful dishes made for a memorable visit.
First and foremost, the burned chicken parmigiana sandwiches were a major letdown. The chicken was overcooked to the point of being charred, resulting in a dry and unpleasant texture. The burnt flavor overpowered any other seasonings or toppings, making it difficult to enjoy the sandwich. The quality of the bread and cheese was also compromised by the charring.
To make matters worse, the sweet potato fries were also burned as you can see in the pictures. Sweet potato fries are typically known for their delightful sweetness and crispy exterior. However, the ones I received were far from appetizing. The burnt taste was overwhelming, overshadowing any hint of sweetness. The fries were also noticeably dry and lacked the desired crispy texture. This not only affected the overall taste but also made them unpleasant to eat.
What disappointed me the most about this experience was the fact that I only noticed the issue after returning home. I expected better quality control from Tito Fresco Restaurant, especially when it comes to their drive-thru orders. It was disheartening to realize that my meal was ruined due to the negligence of the staff.
Despite this disappointing experience, I must acknowledge that Tito Fresco Restaurant has offered better meals in the past. However, the mishap with my order raises concerns about their consistency and attention to detail. As a customer, I value the quality of the food I receive, and this particular visit did not meet my expectations.
I sincerely hope that Tito Fresco Restaurant takes this feedback constructively and improves their food preparation processes to ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future. A little more care and attention can go a long way in preserving the reputation of a restaurant.
My experience at Tito Fresco Restaurant, specifically with the burned chicken parmigiana sandwiches and sweet potato fries, was highly disappointing. I regret having to write a negative review, but it is essential to provide honest feedback. I hope that the restaurant addresses these issues promptly to ensure a better dining experience for its patrons.
