    Linguini and clams
    Genna G.

    This is a neighborhood gem. The vibe is old school Italian. The food is quite good and the prices are fair. Friendly staff, cute atmosphere, excellent food- Also, very family friendly and kids meals are 10$ for a really nice portion . what more could you ask for? I'll return for sure .

    This place is so cute and has amazing service! The food was very good and they split the main dish for my boyfriend and I to share. The tiramisu was so big and delicious. It is a smaller place but cozy.

    CONCHIGLIE AL SUGO DI SALSICCIA - GREAT!
    Lucas W.

    The quality of the food is very good and especially for the price. I've definitely had better Italian food but I've also had to pay significantly more for it. Our server was also incredibly friendly and it's a great family-friendly atmosphere and I think the restaurant is even family-run. I got the conchiglie al sugo di salsiccia, basically a light tomato sauce with peas and sausage. It was really good food and I loved the flavor. It was also a ton of food - I got nearly three meals out of it (albeit my wife and I split the calamari in restaurant to start). We also attended an even there which was really well done. Looking forward to returning.

    So on Monday night we visited this restaurant for the first time and to say farewell to our friends visiting us from Texas. Lizzie and her parents chose this place, and I'm happy they did because it was awesome from the greeting of our server Efrain to the ambiance and drinks and foods. we were all very satisfied. We met the owners, and we thank them for the good time and great food. This is definitely on my list to visit again with my wife. If you're looking for delicious Italian food in a quiet, cozy restaurant, this is definitely the place.

    Shrimp and pasta
    Phil P.

    This restaurant was excellent with its service, ambience, and food. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of eating on their patio. Didn't even hear a car drive past period. That said, the service was impeccable. His recommendations were spot on. I ordered a shrimp and pasta dish that was very tasteful. The mushroom, garlic, and oil mixed with nicely done shrimp was a keeper.

    Spaghetti Meatballs
    Clay G.

    Tutto Fresco was an absolutely splendid dining experience. From start to finish, the food is fantastic. I could've lived off of just the table bread, but naturally I had to order an actual meal, so I went with the spaghetti and meatballs. For dessert, I had the tiramisu which comes in a giant glass. I was stunned when I saw how big it was and washing it all down with some of the limoncello made for a full Italian experience. The staff were also very nice.

    Chicken Parm (in Vodka Sauce)

    It's really a special thing when the staff at a restaurant go out of their way to make you feel at home. I hate to paraphrase a chain restaurant, but when you're at Tutto Fresco, you really are family. My wife and I have been coming here since we discovered it more than five years ago. It's been our date night, our new job celebration spot, our we're too tired to cook so let's go out spot, etc. We've had tons of things on the menu, sampled many of their vast Italian wines, and have asked for many a "specialty" dish (if you've never tried Chicken Parmigiana in pesto sauce, you should - the chef even came out of the kitchen to tell me how much he enjoyed making that one). I wouldn't say that we are regulars like some of the folks we see enjoying the restaurant, especially because we make so much of our own Italian food at home. But, we are there enough for much of the staff to recognize us and make us feel special every time we walk in. Last night, for example, we walked in around 5:30 and were greeted with handshakes from Efrain Jr and Samuel, two lovely and knowledgeable staff members who truly have a passion for the service industry. This was only the second time we'd visited in the past four months, but they greeted us like we were home with our families for the holidays. Just a wonderful feeling and great start to the night. Tutto Fresco is never completely full, there's always a table available, but it is never empty. Which makes it a great spot to enjoy a meal, a bottle of wine, and some conversation over the course of an evening. Last night, we spent three hours at our table, conscious to make sure our table wasn't needed. We enjoyed the buffalo caprese special to start, the freshest of fresh beefsteak tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, truly delicious. Later, we each had a play on fusilli primavera, this time in vodka sauce and chicken. The vodka sauce, as is the case with all of their sauces, is really well executed, not too heavy or too much on the plate, but enough to coat the pasta and elevate the dish. The vegetables were super fresh and slightly al dente, providing a brightness and textural juxtaposition that worked perfectly. As we continued to enjoy our bottle of chianti, and chatted with Samuel (who really is just about the best server you will ever have in your life), the staff brought out some of their complimentary, homemade limoncello. It is excellent, and was the perfect cap to a delightful evening. My wife always sings "a bottle of red, a bottle of white" whenever we go here because it really has become our little Italian restaurant. We've been lucky to become "regulars" at a couple of places in the city these past six years, but nowhere do we feel more at home, more appreciated, and more comfortable than at Tutto Fresco. We'll see you again soon!

    8/3/24: I rarely find gems like Tutto Fresco. The restaurant happens to be next to my son's new apt., and I helped him move in. Tutto Fresco was convenient. We were treated like honored guests. The food was great. We shared fried calamari; carpaccio; Caesar salad, and Caprese salad. I had salmon with a cognac sauce; my wife had eggplant Parmesan; my son had veal Parmesan, and his roommate had spaghetti Diavola. For dessert, we shared tiramisu. I look forward to visiting my boy and eating at Tutto Fresco. They are just 4 hours away.

Normally I hate those kinds of large group dinners, but this was the perfect spot for it. The service was absolutely wonderful. I don't know how our server stayed so cool and calm with a group that size. We got a variety of things. EVERYTHING was amazing. If you have seen any of my other reviews, I always get a meatball when I'm at a place that has them. They almost never live up to my expectation. But this place has the new gold standard for a meatball. It was everything you want. It is fork tender, full of flavor, no chewy ground up bits. The pizzas were authentic and thin. With fabulous house made red sauce that wasn't too thick and overwhelming. The flavor was A+ The cocktails were so good! All made from scratch with love. The ambiance was cozy and comfortable. Perfect for a group or a date. They have a full bar, and also great seating with perfect lighting. This is a new favorite for me in the city.

We had visited Florence last year, and one of the numerous wonderful moments of our trip to Italy was seeing "Il Porcellino" - the lucky bronze boar fountain that draws tourists from around the world. A copy of the boar stands proudly near the entrance of the restaurant, and though it is not as old as the original 1634 sculpture, it was a charming reminder of our amazing Italian holiday. Did I mention that the weekday Happy Hour (4-6PM) specials are quite good? The specials are served only at the bar area, so you might have to wait a few minutes for available seating. We started with some drinks, including two kinds of Negroni. The wild mushroom arancini (5 little balls for $6) were the smallest I've tried, but they were creamy and melt-in-your mouth delicious. The whipped ricotta and jam beautifully served on a strip of toasty focaccia was a unique taste sensation. Prime beef meatballs and short rib sliders on toasted ciabatta bread also hit the spot. Even though we were merely dining at the bar, we enjoyed the overall vibe of the restaurant. There are lots of photos on the walls, interesting lighting from the ceiling, nice serving dishes, and servers who seem to know who their regular diners are. We look forward to returning to Il Porcellino, to bask in that indescribable feeling of being in Italy again.

It's one of those places that you find yourself talking about long after the meal is over. The garlic bread alone is worth the visit. They pour what feels like a gallon of garlic butter over it, and somehow it's still never enough. It's rich, indulgent, and absolutely delicious. We order it every single time and would probably be disappointed if we didn't. The real star of the show, though, is the lasagna. Between the two of us, we've had lasagna at countless restaurants, and nothing has come close to this one. It's hands down the best lasagna we've ever had. Perfect layers, incredible flavor, and the kind of comfort food that makes you want to savor every bite. Their Grey Goose espresso martini is also unmatched. We've tried espresso martinis all over Chicago, and this one is still our favorite. It's smooth, perfectly balanced, and the ideal way to start or end the meal. The atmosphere is another reason we love coming here. The restaurant is gorgeous inside, with a dark, moody vibe that makes it feel special without being stuffy. It's the perfect date night spot whether you're celebrating something or just looking for a great night out together. If you're visiting Chicago and love Italian food, Il Porcellino is a must. Great food, amazing drinks, beautiful ambiance, and a meal you'll be thinking about long after you've left. We make a point to visit every time we're in town, and it never disappoints.

Reservations are released 21 days ahead of time, which I personally find impossible to make. Every time I've checked over the last several years there have been no availability. Yesterday I decided to pop on their website again and was delighted to find that they had released same day dinner reservations for patio only dining. The weather was perfect for outdoor dining so I went ahead and booked a table for Friday night. I felt like I won the dinner lottery. Service was wonderful and I didn't mind sitting outside at all next to the road with cars. I actually never stepped foot in the restaurant so cannot comment on what it's like inside. But do not give up that patio dining reservation if it's available. All of our dishes were delicious. I was really impressed by the meatball appetizers, chicken vesuvio (the potatoes are a must get as a side if you skip this dish), and branzino. The meats and sauces were wonderfully balanced and tender. Nothing tasted overly salted. Ironically, the pasta felt less of a star compared to the other dishes. And of course I had to get the gelato, which was so aesthetically presented and the taste just reminded me of an Italian summer vacation.

My only feedback is that the wait between courses felt a bit long, and some of the ladyfingers in the tiramisu weren't fully soaked so it was a bit dry.
