Tutto Fresco

dined there 06÷11÷16 — SAVE YOUR MONEY: it was meant to be a special birthday family dinner of seven! The food was not fresh as it states. I had the Eggplant Parmigiana, it was frozen– clear freezer burn taste. And one of us had «the carne», it was very bland/​tasteless and again not fresh. It could not be eaten. The Bruscetta was not made that day. It was overly refrigerated and made days before. It would not surprise us if TUTTO FRESCO goes out of business

Been here 6 – 7 times and the food is always perfect. They have took a couple things off the menu and changed there bread they bring to the table from what it used to be but it is still good. Some of the best restaurant made Bolognese I’ve ever had and excellent veal picatta.

Parking is a joke. They have a large valet parking lot that nobody uses. Everyone parks across the street. Service was very good. The veal marsala was good. My wife had lasagna and the sauce really needed help. It’s like the forgot to taste the sauce before they served it. Very bland. I expected better from this fine dining establishment in the Reserve. If they improve the parking situation and get their sauce right, it would be worth going back.

I agree with other reviews that the hostess is rude. I was actually shocked at this bc I talked to her on the phone to make a reservation and she seemed so nice! But she seated another party before us and it was all very awkward as she left us in a narrow hallway while we waited and then never actually sat us, someone else mumbled «follow me» on their way past us, so we followed.
I also agree that the parking is a mess, we had to park in the grass, in the rain bc we didn’t have cash to tip the valet.
The wait staff was beyond nice and accommodating. They all went above and beyond to make us all happy. The food was delicious. Just get beyond your first impressions and you will leave pleased and stuffed!

Awesome food… Like some of the other post I agree the parking situation there is really is stupid… why force patrons in the street or other parking lots because all tutto fresco parking is valet… Takes away from an otherwise great time

The parking situation is a complete joke. You are forced to park on the street unless you want to valet. Horrible!

Food was good service was really bad. Went twice the first time took 30 minutes to get a drink but it was busy so I get it food Was good so no big deal Went back next night to get a drink sat at bar for ten minutes never ask if I needed anything it was slow so I left. The two bartenders where talking but I guess there conversation was more important then the owner making money and them for a tip.

Food was delicious… waiter Jeremy excellent, as well as all the staff. Five stars from my husband and my self. Manager very hands on. Very nice atmosphere and very comfortable seating.

Very tempted to rank 5 stars! Food was absolutely delicious. Significantly better than the current overall ranking suggests. Came here with a group of three and we all loved our meals. Filet mignon was delicious!!! Ambience is not my preference (too much going on) but the staff is super friendly and helpful!

Excellent Italian food. I’m from NYC and I love this place. Come early for the 2 for 1 special.

Ate here for a second time last night. Unfortunately for us they had a party of 150 that made conversation (or approaching the bar) impossible so we moved to the front room. Service was very slow all night and only 2 of the 4 entrees arrived as ordered. The 3^rd came back from the kitchen fairly quickly but the 4^th didn’t arrive until the other 3 had finished. The manager was unaware of the problem until we spoke to him and he apologized and gave our table free deserts. He also packed the 4^th entrée to take home and didn’t charge us.
The food here is very good and we enjoy the atmosphere but last night was not up to snuff. Despite our problem we booked another reservation before we left.
The fish entrees are superb, well prepared and not overly cooked or spiced. Mussels were very tender although a little spicy. The large meatball is a personal favorite, tasty, flaverful, and large enough to share for 4. A good wine list compliments the menu.
Normally I would give this 4 stars but because of the service and the managers actions compromised on 3.

Had the opportunity on a rainy Florida evening to try a restaurant my father had raved about. I was initially disappointed by a rude hostess who was all full of herself (she told me they all worked together and she didn’t have a boss) and didn’t care that I was unhappy with my table. We almost walked out but another hostess told her to give us another table.
Then the 5 star experience started. Our waitress Annie took care of us with aplomb and helped us navigate their extensive menu and specials. She was able to accommodate my request for diver scallops. Most waitresses don’t want to potentially incur the wrath of the Chefs but not Annie. Got my diver scallops custom-​made and they were exquisite.
Clams casino, veal Marsala with assorted wild mushrooms and a seafood stocked risotto wee some of the other things we had. Every dish, presentation and sides were gourmet in nature beyond the usual Italian fare in this area. The cappuccinos were served hot and smooth. We tried the cheesecake with strawberry glaze and my dad, a connoisseur of cheesecake declared it par excellence. The wine list by the glass is extensive and helpful when only one person is drinking. No house Cabernet at our table!
We also had a visit from the owner who apologized for our rude treatment at the beginning. Hence I feel comfortable recommending this fine establishment with 5 stars. Don’t leave until you have gotten what you want as they are most accommodating. Annie deserves special kudos for her handling of someone slightly hearing impaired. I didn’t comment on the prices as you can’t put a price on this type of evening fare. I feel it was worth it!

We have dined here and it is very hit or miss, they are never consistent with there food. Last night our party of 4 dined and I was extremely disappointed and decided we will not go again. I had the eggplant rollatini which was more like ricotta stuffed eggplant rolls, there was no procuitto in it and as far as the sauce, I have had better tasting from a jar. The cappellini was mushing and very over sauced. My husband and friend had the «house special» which was a very fishy smelling sea bass… something that has always been a pet peeve of mine is when management sits at a table with patrons and then starts announcing «bring them a bottle of champagne and a deserts on me»… this happens frequently when we go there and the owner I believe «Joe» always does it and he is extremely loud, you can send a bottle of whatever and desserts and quietly let them or let server, tell them it is on the house. Meanwhile, the busser came to our table and asked if she could box my full meal at which I declined so she removed it from the table versus sending our waiter to determine if there was an issue. Needless to say we still tipped 20% on our $ 209 dollar meal, could of had a better meal at Carrabbas or Olive Garden for what we tipped on this meal!

Real authentic Italian food in a prime golf area with fantastic service and flavorful dishes.
Being from NYC and growing up Italian, I’ve tried lots of different Italian restaurants, some of which are not up to par, but Tutto Fresco is always up to par and above. Every time I am in PSL I go to Tutto Fresco. It’s an upscale Italian restaurant, with average prices for a classy meal. Their current special of their seasonal prefix meal is a great deal and I highly highly recommend going there for that (from 2 – 5:30).
The service is always wonderful for me. The waitresses and waiters are always nice, very proper and helpful. The first time I went, my waiter had recommended the beggars purse appetizer and now I get it every single time I go. I even recommended it to my parents, and they get it every time they go.
The patio is more of a causal/​bar experience, same as the inside bar. They do have a more formal space in the front right side of the restaurant, which is segregated from the bar area so you can be fully emerged into a fancy upscale eatery setting.
Very good for fancy birthday dinners and dates if you’re a local. If you’re in town for vacationing or golfing, you must stop in for a fancy dinner to make your vacation extra nice.

I visited this restaurant a few times for drinks only.Dec.6 2015 I decided to try a takeout order. The hostess was very rude hungup in my face before I could give my number to her.(I have been a hostess) taking a number to call back just in case the kitchen is out of something or etc. This place is a circus show ! I arrive grab a drink from the patio.(still agitated) thinking why am I spending my money here. I go in to pick up my food, as I stand there waited to be greeted by the bartender, who grabs my food from the back. and THEN «the hostess» comes over to take my money, not sure why since she doesn’t have a register. She asks“You want your dollar back?” …**scratches head** am I being punked right now? Yes. I do… Now she has to go around asking for change. I snatched my money back and told her to «get away from me, I dont like your attitude» The bartender says“I’ll take care of it”.Now that training.(customer service 101 is over).Let’s get to the food. I ordered 2 chicken parmesan, Which was soggy obviously because the batter kept falling off, rigatoni was SALTY! I put it in a pan and tried to doctor with cream cheese, helped a little. This place has a cool atmosphere to grab a drink on the patio a nice atmosphere inside and that’s it. There are several other smaller hidden jewels in st. lucie west that are actually «Authentic» Italian. GOOGLE is your friend, honestly at least Olive garden was better than this, although not authentic. The manager when I called on the hostess said“He will take care of it”.Not sure how true that is, however with some training in customer service and higher food standards this could be the best Circus Show On Earth.
Give it a try, I never will again.
Bön Apetit!

I read these conflicting reviews and felt torn about coming but it’s right across the street my hotel.
This a clearly not an «Olive Garden caliber restaurant they aspire to fine Italian but it seems hit and miss.
We started with caprese salad which was good but the tomatoes were not fine dining caliber.
I had the chicken francese which was tender and tasty with nice angel hair.
My companion was less fortunate. She had shrimp scampi which had an odd taste and the shrimp had a weird smell. The staff responded quickly and offered her another choice. She opted to go straight to desert and had a fabulous teramisu.
The manager said sometimes shrimp will smell. I’m skeptical on that one, usually it’s a sign of age.
They have three dining areas — formal, casual, and covered patio with bar. The whole place was really LOUD. We opted for outdoors which was the quietest but they forgot to tell us it was the smoking section (ouch).
Then an iPad accompanying musician arrived who turned out to have a great voice and good guitar skills.
Amazing the server knew how to make change for a cash customer so we could leave a tip. This is sadly a lost art.

Just ate here this evening and it was probably the worst restaurant I’ve eaten at in Port St. Lucie. If I lived in the PGA I would be embarrassed to bring a guest here for a meal. Upon entering the parking lot, saw a car leaving because there is a sign the says” Due to event this lot is complimentary valet
only”. Since there were only a handful of cars and no valet, I parked anyway.
Had clams casino for an appetizer, but could not find or taste the clams amongst the four quarter sized shells. Another member of my party had the mussels. They were fine, but in a sauce that was extremely bland. The main course was the Frutti di Mare with overcooked shrimp and a sauce that tasted like low end supermarket spaghetti sauce. The price was reasonable, the food was not. These cooks would be hard pressed to make a good meal for Red Lobster or Denny’s.
Very sad as the location, décor and atmosphere are great! The service was fine. The food was poor.

Over priced food & drinks. It’s looking to attract the country club tourists who go by looks and nothing else. It IS a nice looking building inside & out, but that’s about the only thing going for it.
It’s a full liquor establishment, not just beer & wine. Service was passable — definitely not what you’d expect though.
When they stop serving food, they hit the floors with the most pungent, bleach-​containing cleaning agent. This odor doesn’t just permeate through the dining area, however. It pushes through into the bar area (while still open mind you) & even onto the outdoor patio. I understand that the staff wants to get out of there as quick as possible, but this shouldn’t be happening while patrons are still inside spending their money.
We went on a Sat night which was DJ night — spinning the hits of the…70’s. Well some of the crowd were in their 70’s so I guess that fits. Hey, I like Kool & the Gang as much as the next guy but I think we heard ‘Celebration’ more than once that night.
The hours may be wrong on Unilocal,but they seemed to close 1.5 hrs earlier than posted.
There’s valet parking available if you don’t like the 50 foot walk to the entrance.

Geez, would have liked to write a positive review of Tutto Fresco but cannot. There is no vestige of hope for this «restaurant.» Have avoided this place for several years and now I know why. A group of golfing buddies went there recently for drinks and dinner or whatever. Not a good choice!
Ambience in the patio is pretty okay. We were a party of 7 following mini tourney. Had cocktails at the bar, and it was downhill from there.
Hubby and I ordered apps and a nice glass of wine each — Ecco Domani at $ 8 glass and Cab Hess Select at $ 10. Really?
I ordered the Caprese Salad with fingers crossed hopefully for fresh mozzarella and amazing tomatoes and a lovely olive oil and balsamic glaze. Not to happen. Mozzarella was like rubber with slices from the plastic wrapped packages at Publix. Tomatoes were passable and poorly sliced with no seasoning. Wilted salad adorned the plate again with no seasoning… yuk.
Hubby ordered the eggplant rollatini app and was served the dinner portion. Unfortunately, the pasta was overdone and sauce was incredibly sweet! Eggplant passable but not amazing.
The only acceptable dish was the poached pair salad which actually was very good. Dressing was light and salad mix was lovely with candied walnuts.
Just to note: I spent hours the day before making fresh cavatelli and an awesome marinara sauce for Easter dinner, so thought we would enjoy a nice light dinner without the work. Guess what — not worth going to Tutto Fresco and spending nearly $ 80 for food I would have thrown in the garbage disposal.
For the record, the giant meatball was ordered by another in our group. She only ate several bites. The veal parmigiana dinner order by another diner was just awful and forget the garlic knots.
While the restaurant is convenient to us who live in PGA Village, it’s not a place that I would ever dine at again. Ugh.

Amazing! I was a bit skeptical to go at first, as I had had poor dining experiences at the other location on the boulevard. I am very glad my husband talked me into trying this newer location.
We went on a Tuesday night, so the main dining room was pretty much empty (that will probably change when Season hits). Our servers Gregorio and Larry were outstanding! We never had to look for them, they were continually checking in with us.
As for the food, we couldn’t be happier. The recommendation to try the Beggars Purse was perfect! It’s a must if this is your first visit! My husband had the 9oz Filet Sinatra Special and said it melted like butter in his mouth. My chicken parm was incredible. The sauce was a very nice light marinara, a generous amount of cheese and the chicken was cooked to perfection. The portion was huge, be prepared to take home half. Dessert (chocolate mousse cake) had us ending on a great note, we will definitely be back!
