Love trying new places & lately Oceanside is the place to be for dinning . I absolutely love a good authentic Italian restaurant. Which is why I went . I have a friend who is a bartender there ( ask for Jen ) Anyways .. my friend and I came here for dinner & everyone knows a good Italian restaurant has to have a strong bread basket , well this place did not disappoint & will past my moms bread test when I bring her next time . My friend and I started with the calamari. Ordered both fried and baked . Both were outstanding. Main meal was delicious and I didn't walk out feeling heavy . ( which is a plus for me ) we didn't try any of their wines , but saw a large selection behind the bar . Decor was bright , comfortable & welcoming . Staff was extremely attentive & price was perfect . Only negative I have was the music . It sounded like I was in a club which was a turn off . I mean the menu is in Italian . Wouldn't mind hearing some Dean Martin , Louis Prima , Connie Francis , Lou Monte , IL Volo ... just to name a few . Will 100% be back for a lady's night or date night . read more

See all

Once again I would like to thank everyone at tutti Noi for a wonderful time last night. My family arranged a small birthday celebration for me at the restaurant. The food was outstanding thanks to chef Artie. Tracy had worked w my daughter to have beautiful flowers for the tables. We were a party of 12 the service was wonderful. And a special thank you to Taylor for her amazing cocktails. I highly recommend this local restaurant to anyone looking for great food and great service. Thank you Tracy,Artie, and Taylor for making my birthday celebration so lovely. read more

Opening night was stellar. Experience counts and its shows in the ambiance, decor, staff and most importabtly the quality and creativity of the menu. Taylor, Tracey and Artie will make you feel like a VIP. read more

Tutti Noi - Opening night!!! The best!! - Italian Near Me - Oceanside, New York

A Diamond in Oceanside for Italian Food , from the Clams to the Pasta to the Veal it was all amazing , will definitely be back !!!

I really wanted to like this place but it was just not to be. Pros.. Parking in the rear. Nice new place with pleasant atmosphere. Cons. The tables were MUCH to close to each other. The food was plain and nothing special. The prices were on the high side. The drinks were WAY to expensive. The service was ok, but very rushed. All and all there was really nothing to want me to return. read more

There was NOTHING there to warranty, or to justify giving 5 stars to this restaurant. The best that I can say about it was that it was clean. However the food was only mediocre, and only moderately fair, ordinary and nothin special. The service was ok, but certainly , and definitely not overly friendly. The bar was nicw (but lets face it, it was brand new), as for the bartender, she was in a rush and she also was not overly friendly, and the drinks were over-priced.. Our server was the same. The food that my husband and I had was salty, and our Octopus was terrible,(very tough, and far from tender.) The seating was very tight, as our table was right ontop of the neighboring table. As for the prices, we found them to be higher than it was merited. So there was noting likable here. Would we return, Not likely. read more

My husband and myself were hesr last week and frankly we were far from impressed. In our opinions this was not a 4 and definitely not a 5 star restaurant. We found the antipasto to be very non exciting, the calamari to be very common, and after asking for more sauce, it never came. My Salmon was over cooked and not at all juscy as it sould have been, and my husbands Veal cutlet to be dry and lacked any flavor what so ever. To see all these 5 star reviews makes me wonder just what kink of people are writing them? And by the way the drinks that we had the the bar were both very small and over priced. As for the atmosphere, It was very nice and the server was accommodating, as was the bartender. But I don't think that the food was deserving more than 2 stars. read more

Dined a month ago with friends. We experienced the wait and similar rude treatment by the hostess and owner. Granted, they do not rush you at all and the food was 4.5 stars. It's a very busy small restaurant but based upon our experience, I will wait for the next restaurant to open in that location. read more

Never again! The owner Tracy couldn't care less about her customers. We (party of 6) had reservations for dinner and when we arrived we were told there would be a few minutes wait. After waiting 40 minutes we were told that our table was going to be another 45-1 hour wait. The owner Tracy told me that it's a poplar restaurant and I have to be prepared to wait that if I don't like it don't eat there. The restaurant around the corner makes does it too! Terrible answer and even though the food had been good, the attitude is awful! NEVER AGAIN! read more

After hearing great things about Tutti Noi , we had a reservation for 4 on Friday, December 6th at 7:30. Someone called to confirm that morning and we showed up on time only to be told that it was a 20-30 minute wait and then she turned her back on us. The bar was filled and there was no place to wait as it is a very small entrance. We thought maybe she didn't realize we had a reservation so we told her again and both women at the front said..."we won't be able to seat you, it would be better if you leave, goodbye " I thought we must have misunderstood so my husband went in to see if the situation could be salvaged only to be told they had people call out sick and it was better if we leave and again she turned her back on him. Now I can appreciate how hard it is when you are short staffed, but what about offering us a drink and saying, we are going to try our best to get you seated. Instead we were TOLD TO LEAVE and they walked away from us. I have never experienced such rudeness and an utter lack of professionalism. In response to the owners reply seen below: I can only say that clearly the rudeness that we experienced from the 2 women at the hostess station is part of a culture that starts at the top. Such a rude response from the owner just proves that my original review was accurate and not at all fake. I would like nothing more than to have a wonderful and welcoming restaurant in the area. read more

My husband, Chef of 30 years, and I visited a new local place in our town. It is always nerve wracking for me to take him, blindly, to a restaurant regardless of the reviews or if I have visited before with others and had a positive experience. More often than not, given the inconsistency of places in Long Island, we are disappointed and he often sends food back. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE! The restaurant has been open about 10 days and when I called I was able to get a reservation for the same day. In this case, my husband was excited to try it based on a friends recommendation. We read up before arriving to see that owners, Artie (Chef) and Tracey have a long history with Oceanside and opening restaurants near and far over many years. They have returned to their original location. The ambiance is lovely, a bright atmosphere with the dazzling chandeliers and comfortable seating. It is a small space but that adds to the personal touch and attention throughout the evening. There is a delightful cocktail menu and I recommend 'The Gentleman's Fig' to start, delicious! Our waitress was from Australia, Francine, and she was delightful and charming! She was knowledgeable about the menu and always there for our needs before asking. Appetizers, we started with the burrata, peaches, fresno chiles, white balsamic and honey and he ordered the grilled octopus. We shared the dishes and they were delicious and light with full flavor. For main courses, I ordered cacio de pepe pasta dish and he ordered Gamberi Calabresi (shrimp dish), all very fresh and made to order. Both amazing! After dinner drinks and house made cheesecake and cannoli rounded out the meal. We met both the Chef and his lovely wife and enjoyed a wonderful evening of delicious food and lovely ambiance. We are THRILLED that we have a new local Chef-owned option just down the street and will be returning regularly. Even to sit at the bar and snack on a cheese plate or antipasti may be in my future! Although I was able to get a reservation same day for now, I am certain that this will not be the case in the future as I expect great success and filled reservation books for these culinary experts! Well done Tutti Noi! read more

Tutti Noi is a real find, the food is excellent, the atmosphere is warm and inviting,Its a family run business where you feel like home.we give it 5 stars. Maxine & James Portnof. read more

OUTSTANDING! OUTRAGOUS! OMG! We met the owner just prior to the grand opening, talked for a while and promised to come back when officially opened. Last night we had a most wonderful dining experience; on par with some of the more famous and longer established area restaurants. I'm somewhat reluctant to give such a laudatory review for fear too many patrons will come. But, I'd rather be upfront and open and give a real review of our experience. If you're looking for an intimate dining experience [the place can accomodate about forty people at a time], superior service [thanks to Ian, our waiter] and wonderfully prepared and presented food, then come to Tutti Noi. Everything is freshly cooked and it tastes it. Gordon Ramsey need not show his face. The owners are personable and interact with the patrons. In talking with the owners, we discovered we we grew up in nearby neighborhoods. We had the caprese salad, chicken marsala, pasta bolognese, cheesecake and pistachio tartufo. Each dish was an absolute pleasure to look at and eat. The mozzarella was lightly salted through each entire piece; the vegetables were crisp, properly cooked and seasoned. You could actually taste the marsala. Both desserts were an absolute joy. I'm the kind of person who's willing to spend to get value for my money. For what you get, it's well worth the money. We'll be back and will be bringing friends. read more

Where do I begin. I stopped in for dinner and left happy and stuffed. Lulu was the most attentive and professional bartender. She suggested an amazing salad to start, followed by an even better entree. And her cocktails were superb! By far, a fabulous meal. read more

I read the reviews on YELP about Tutti Noi. The restaurant in Oceanside NY, is not far from where we live. Checking their menu on their website I noticed, two things not often found much anymore in restaurants, because they are pricey. One is ossabuco made from the veal shank, and the other was the grilled octopus. I am a butcher by trade now retired, and I know my meats. Now a day, many restaurants are serving pork and lamb shanks for what they call Ossobuco, nay, nay, that's a cheaper version. The real deal, is made from veal shanks which are expensive to buy! For starters my wife and I ordered, whole baked clams that were topped with seasoned bread crumbs in a white wine sauce with lemon, and the other was their grilled octopus. Both were delicious! For our entrees, my wife ordered the clams over linguini in a white broth with garlic and basil, and I of course, ordered the veal ossobuco and with it comes their risotto milanase . We would NOT say it, if it were not true, both were excellent! We spoke to the owner Tracey, her husband is the chef and had restaurants on Mulberry Street in NYC and also in Staten Island. This restaurant, TUTTI NOI is in Oceanside, NY and has been open for about 3 months now. It's not very big, but very easy to get comfortable in, which we did very fast. As we all know, rents are shy high everywhere, I hope they make it here, that's why I'm writing this review, to get the word out to people who love Italian food and appreciate quality food give them a try! They have a nice bar if you like to come in for just a drink or cocktail too. Parking IS behind the restaurant, and across the street adjacent to their parking lot. And only a few steps from their door. Last but not least, their HOME MADE desserts, I will say this, I almost ate the spoons too! You gotta save room for their Tiramisu, the best we ever had, and their Gelato, Wow! Give this family restaurant a try, I am sure you will be happy as we were! Good wholesome food, cooked the way it should be. My only complaint, and I know they can correct it easily, was the bread served at the table which fresh and delicious, was not warm, I wished it were, we love warm bread. I know they can make that happen too! Before I forget, their serving staff was on the money. Reading a negative review of this restaurant, we can assure you, my wife and I are neither relatives or employees of Tutti Noi, just a couple, trying to find a good restaurant close by with dishes made the way we like them. We hope you enjoy the food as much as we did! Joe & Angela G. Long Island NY read more

What a wonderful dining experience. I can only assume the proprietors of this lovely establishment have been in the business for a long time because the attention to detail is spot on. Even though it was busy, my server, Ian, took his time to explain his favorite menu items, and really went the extra mile to take care of me and my partner. The tortellini bolognese bianco is really something special! I also met the owner briefly, she was a breath of fresh air and I could tell she really knew her business and was passionate about the overall dining experience, something I find lacking in many establishments. They even had an Australian lady working there, how exotic! Three cheers(and five stars) for Tutti Noi, I will definitely return! read more

I have read some negative reviews of this restaurant. I truly don't understand them. I have eaten here several times since it opened in July. The food is fantastic. Everything from the appetizers, to the desserts are great. I have had every pasta entrée and most of the meat dishes. You cannot go wrong here. From the outset the hostess is as friendly a person as you can find. The bartenders are fun and can make any drink you want. The entire staff are good. They also have plenty of parking behind the restaurant. If you live nearby you should try it. read more

Everything was Excellent from top to bottom. Apps. Dinner and desert. Service was great and owners are very nice! My wife and I had a really nice dinner. Also reasonably priced! We will definitely go back. read more

I'm not sure who is writing the five star reviews about this place (friends and relatives?) , but they might want to go back and give an update. First off the place is small, not a huge deal but, you feel like you are sitting at the bar while eating. This place was the bar at Mio Posto so if you were ever there you know. The place was very loud, so casual conversation was difficult without trying to talk over the din, which added to the problem. Second concern, table was very wobbly, also not a big deal but the staff seemed perplexed by the request to rectify the situation. It was finally dealt with. Not off to a great start. We settle in our group of 9 and the table fixer comes over and says I'm not your waiter but he asks what type of water we would like. He leaves and the waitress comes over and asks us what kind of water we would like. You see where I'm going here. Finally we get water, European style, no ice. There was lemon and ice in a small glass placed on the table if you would like to use it. Very good, I like my water no ice and lemon. The waitress took drink orders, they had craft brew of Italian origin that they described as IPA when it was an IPL, which was fine it was still better than a Bud or Stella. Bread comes, fresh but not warm, I've never had a good fine dining experience when the bread is not warm. Seasoned olive oil on small dishes only in three places on the table for 9 people, we asked for more and received one, really? OK the food. Appetizers: A strawberry salad special, with Italian feta and sweet strawberries to counter the tangy dressing and tangy cheese, never knew there was such a thing as Italian feta but whatever. It had a light balsamic vinaigrette dressed in the proper amount. This was the best thing I had there, a salad. We ordered calamari fritti for the table, and it was properly cooked. The grilled octopus was hit and miss as some of it was cooked properly and some were so chewy as to be inedible, I actually had to spit it out as did a few other people at the table. Main dish : The pappardelle in cream sauce with filet mignon special was lacking in seasoning on the meat and in the sauce. It needed cheese and salt and pepper to make it edible, it wasn't bad, it just wasn't that good. Same with the short rib special, it was just OK, nothing special, it needed that something extra that you pay a chef to do. Linguine with shrimp in garlic and oil once again was serviceable, get the theme here. On a very inconsequential note, play some Italian music or low dinner background music, not some non-descriptive 90's pop-dance music. I'm not sure this place knows what it wants to be, but a fine dining experience is not one of them. With so many other good Italian restaurant choices in the area I cant see this place making it through the year, but hey you never know the Gallery Four is still in business. read more

Good food - great atmosphere and service. Much needed nice Italian restaurant in Oceanside.

Atmosphere and service were on point. Cocktails were delicious. Food was very good, but definitely a bit pricy. Still deliberating if cost was worth the experience but overall a nice evening out. read more

Had to be one of the best dining experiences in a long time. From the minute we walked in, we were greeted by Tracy, who is the owner with her husband. She treated us like family. We had reservations for 8pm, we arrived a little early, had a drink at the bar. Perfectly made drinks with blood oranges as garnish, very tasteful. The restaurant itself was decorated so classy. We sat down at a table for four, but Tracy moved us to a table of six to be comfortable. She couldn't do enough for us. Our appetizer was roasted clams with sausage infused sambuca broth. AMAZING!!!!. Had a nice glass of cabernet wine, very smooth. Our main course, we both ordered the salmon. Salmon with baby artichokes sundried tomatoes, and baby spinach with white wine. I wanted another piece, that's how good it was, plus the roasted potatoes. I enjoy when a restaurant puts down olive oil with red pepper flakes with parmigiano cheese instead of butter with the bread. The wait staff was very professional as well. Tracy offered us a nice after dinner drink. I have been to many restaurants owned by friends, and still have never been treated the way she treated us. This was our first time there. Overall, the place, the staff the food, and the owners were the best I have ever encountered. This is our new Saturday night restaurant. AMAZING, thank you to Tracy and her excellent chef husband, another classy part of the restaurant. Thank Again!!!!!! read more

This is a fairly new kind of small restaurant located on Long Beach road in Oceanside, right next door to a larger new restarant that is a Seafood restaurant. I really can't give this place the 4, or 5 stars as other did because I really didn't see anything special about it. To us it was just another typical Italian restarant., that was FAR from the 5 star reviews mentioned here. And frankly it wasn't even one that I'd put on my "want to return" place. Ir vwas not a place that I'd go to if I wanted to have a gret dinner at all. But I must admit that it is very new and it had many kinks to it that would most likley be staightened out in time. And I;m sure that it will be, if not, it won't be around too long. The service here was only fair, friendly but not at all what I'd call good. The female bartender eas friendier and much more proffessional. No real atmosphere, although the place was nice looking.. All ain all it was just a typical small Italian restaurant with nothing there to make us want to return. As for the food it was also fair, a bit over priced I thought for whay they gave you, but it was ok. but noting warranted us to return, But FIVE STARS? No way Jose! read more

It is my third time that we have dined here and we have only had great food and service. The salads are exemplary, clean and seasoned just perfect. The pastas are fresh and the sauces authentic. Bottom line, the chef and his crew take their cooking seriously. Lot of pride and hard work go into a place like this. read more

we arrived on time for our7 PM reservation and we were told there would be a 20 minute wait and to have a seat at the bar, We did and the bartender suggested her speciality drink. The drink was ok, but was Weak, Small, and $12.00. What a RIP off. When we were seated, we were given a very small table and we were greeted by our server VERY quickly.. (even TOO QUICKLY).. We shared the Calamari for one of our appetizers and then we shared a Antipasto the Calamari was ok, (how can you screw uo Calamari)? The Antipasto was Good, but very small. But Faily Good, nothing at all to rave about. The menu was also just OK, as there wasn't anything there that was too exciting. or that we MUST have!. Our entrees were the Pasta with shrimp and Clams, and the Brazino special. with Olives, and Cherry Tomatoes. I wouldn't have ordered the Brabzuno but unfortately there wasn't anything else there that I really cared for. The place itself was nice looking but just an average looking restaurant., nothing there was too appealing. I read some of the reviews of those that rated this place 5 Stars but I fail to agree with them at all. There are many 5 Star restarants around here but Tutti Noi is NOT one of them. I can NOT agree with their assessment at all. I can't see why anyone would give this place 5 Stars at All. In my opinion this is no where even close to warrant , or to even justify 5 Stars. The staff was friendly, but the Hostess was not. I assuume that this place has some reuular customers, I won't become one thats for sure. With so many really good Italian restaurants around here and in RVC, This is not one that we will be returning too. read more

I can't agreee with these 4-5 star reviews at all. In fact I find many of them to be suspicious. Because our fiest and last vist here was nothing at all like them. We found Tutti Noi to be highly prices and as for their food, it was middle of the road at best. The service that we had from a gentleman was very good, except for the fact that we did find him to be a bit pushy, and excessively ambitous. Suggesing things that were unnecessary, and wound stop when we told him no thank you. As for the atmosphere of Tutti Noi, it was very nice, in fact the looks were exceptionally nice. But you don't want to pay for "Looks". As someone else said, the drinks were very much on the small side, and were priced to high. Getting back to the food, we started with sharing the grilled octopus and found it to be very "Chewy".. The grilled Calamari was much better. My Husband had the Linguine with clams and said that it was "Just OK I ah". the Chicken Scarp, and it also "Just OK". I must admit that we had much better at our usual italian restaurant in Rockville Centre, Dodici, or even at George martin's Original.. All things consisered we weren't crazy about Tutti Noi. read more

I thought that this restaurant was very OVER Rated. Althought we read good reviews about this olace, We certainaly didn't find it t be that way. We had reservations and got here on time but the hostess at the front door told us there would be a 20 minute wait. So we sat at the bar and a very nice young lady bartender told us about their signature drink. We ordered 2 of them.... First Mistake! The drink cam in just about the smallest glass that I have ever seen before, and she measured the vocka in a tine measuring cup, and charged $14.00 each for them. Secondly: The Owner, a lady with a very Sour Puss walked around the restaurant eyeing up ALL the servers including the bartenders making sure that they didn't pour to much in the glasses or do anything else that she didn't approve of. She also walked around the place trying to over hear what the customers were saying. As for the wait staff, the wau=iter that we had was very good under the very differcult conditions, that he had to work undr. As for the food, I started with the Antipasto that was only fair, and far from being good. It was on the small side and at $16.00 i thought that for what it was it was over priced. My wife satrted with the Octopus that was SO tough that she couldn't even chew it, so she left it over. Next we had Liguine with sea food for $26.00 , and the Ossouco $38.00. We finnished with the Italian Gelato $9.00 each which was the best thing that we had the whole night. Everything else was UNDERWHELMING. . Would we return here? No, I doubt it very much. There are too many other better choices around. read more

Tutti Noi...first visit tonight and it was outstanding. It was my son and daughter in laws birthdays and it didn't disappoint. Tracey and staff are warm, accommodating and so welcoming. We had grilled octopus, burrata and the cheese and meat platter for appys. Main course was chicken parmigana...my daughter in law said it was the best she ever had. My son had the branzini and he loved it. I ordered the red Bolognese and it was spectacular. The interior is lovely...relaxing and cool whites everywhere. The gelato and Italian cheesecake were hands down the best we ever had. The staff made my kids so happy by all coming out and singing. We will be back. As my daughter in law said...it is her new favorite place. My son and I heartily agrees. Kudos to the chef...each dish was so fresh and bursting with flavor. Only wish I had taken photos...the plating was beautiful. Thank you Tutti Noi for an incredibly wonderful dinner and memorable birthdays. Can't wait to come back! read more
