Tutto Fresco

I and my husband thoroughly enjoyed this dining experience. Great atmosphere, excellent service and delicious food. Cozy dim lighting, eggplant Parmesan and the Vodka riggatoni was just right but the portion size was so wonderful we ate half and took the rest back to our room for a late night snack. I also loved the salad and the garlic knots as well as the fabulous cheesecake for dessert I was so delighted with our two waiters, you just can't get service like this anymore. Thank you so much for the total package. We will remember this trip with a smile..

I LOVE Tutto Fresco! This is our “go to” place. We have been here numerous times and have never been disappointed. When friends visit we bring them. The food is always delicious and the portions are generous - we love our leftovers! This is a family owned restaurant and the staff is always very friendly and attentive. I did notice some negative reviews and I wonder if they were from the summer - the restaurants get slammed during the summer. They should give Tutto Fresco another try. ❤️❤️❤️

One of the best kept secrets in the AC area. Wonderful Italian cuisine at reasonable prices. Had the real piccata and linguini marinara. All were impressed. Will definitely make a return trip.

Don't let the outside decor fool you (think "poor-man's version of A Western saloon"), this restaurant is fantastic! The inside decor is classic and modern at the same time, lending to a warm ambience. The service is personable and friendly. But most importantly, the food is spectacular! Everything was very fresh. The preparation stuck to the basics (i.e., garlic, Parmesan, and oil for the bread) but elevated in its style. I listed out our meal, and rest assured, every bit of it was phenomenal! Appetizers: pear salad, calamari (x2), caprese, spaghetti carbonara Entrees: ravioli with bolognese (x2), salmon tutto fresco, braised pork special, veal saltimboco, and seafood risotto

Tutto Fresco surely was an experience. After a four hour drive back from New York we decided to take a pit stop in the Ventnor-Margate area for a bite to eat, and the general consensus was Italian. While I must say from the outside you look at the place asking yourself what you've gotten into, but when you step inside the ambiance truly sets in. The restaurant was probably around sixty to seventy percent full around eight which is respectable for a restaurant, but I have to say, the beginning wait was a little harsh. We were seated by the owner who seemed extremely friendly and was happy to just have you in his door, but after being seated we nearly waited seven minutes to just be brought out menus (again by the owner). At that point my view was a little skewed of the place, personally I could tell right off the bat that they were new in town, about a month and a half in I later heard at another table, and with every new venture it takes time to sit in. Although, it seemed like they were starting to get their acts together. The meal began with their bread, but don't be fooled as it was possibly one of the best things I had their all night. You could tell it was Italian by how heavy handed they were with their spices (including garlic). I'll break down the courses for our table below. Appetizers: two orders of the meatball, a beet salad, and a pear salad. According to the table the salads were quite alright as its the basics that matter, they were plated beautifully and they are the healthy greens that you are looking for, and obviously you are getting what you are paying for, so in that regard they were done right. As for the meatballs, we seemed to be in agreement when it came to the meatballs. Honestly, it is one large meatball broken into four and filled with cheese in the center. The meatball itself did not really have much flavor, but if it did it was just being masked by the cheese and you also weren't offered very much sauce for such a large meatball. Entrees: two orders of the ravioli, chicken parmigiana, and the tortellini a la crema (I think). Again, the food was plated quite beautifully. The guests who ordered the ravioli seemed quite pleased, it was well presented and flavorful, and it was enough food to truly quench your hunger. As for the tortellini (or whatever pasta it may have been) it was plated well, but we were reminded of how heavy handed they are with their spices and herbs. Lastly, the chicken parmigiana, as expected it is a chicken breast with red sauce and Parmesan cheese which comes with a side of rigatoni or spaghetti (I'd like to note that we were informed that none of the pasta here is homemade). The waiters honestly seemed confused with who the rigatoni was going to and then when we told them I received a somewhat snarky somewhat just "old italian" humor where I was told "Ah, I guess we can just give it to you". Later, asking for a knife to actually eat said entree with and being told "Oh so you guys want everything now, don't you?". Obviously this creates little waves and offsets your meal, but mind you he later seemed like he was just joking and it was his personality. I wasn't expecting a lot from the chicken parmigiana expect for something tasty, and with that being said it's not what I really received. Typically the chicken is breaded and fried, covered in tomato sauce and cheese, and then baked until the cheese is bubbly and baked into every nook and cranny. It was clear that a step was either missed or just horribly butchered in the aspect of frying or baking, and this is because the outside did not seem crispy or crunchy but just under-cooked and soft. Desert: tiramisu The tiramisu was a solid desert, the ladyfingers didn't seem super soft and runny, and it was dense (the way that tiramisu should be). The coffee flavor was truly absorbed by the cake and it was well done. Final thoughts: As a new restaurant its a 4/5, the food was a 3.5/5, ambiance was a 5/5, and the service was a 4. Definitely worth giving a try. We will be back.
