My husband and I have been consistently satisfied with this place. It’s fast and tasty! We came to this location last friday afternoon and received the very best customer service. The gentleman who was our server(he didn’t have a name tag, he was bald) could not have been more helpful! Quickly fixing the problem when my food came out differently than ordered. He checked on us often, refilling the bread and even offered to refill my own refillable water bottle that was low. We were sent home full, happy and with extra delicious bread for later.

My boyfriend and i wanted to try some Italian, we were a bit skeptical about the place because it has drive thru and I was thinking it was like a fast food thing, we loved ALL of their food. We’ve been there so many times now we are almost done trying all of the menu. Last time we where there my boyfriend forgot his wallet there, next morning we get a call from the manager they gave us the wallet back with everything in it… Thank god for great service, great food and honest people!!!

Came here with some coworkers for our monthly lunch outing. Pictures looked good and drew us into this place. I should have known there is no such thing as quality Italian food with a drive through. Yes the décor was nice, restaurant was clean, and the complimentary bread was pretty good, but that’s about it. The food was far from quality Italian food. Will never go here again. I prefer Olive Garden for Italian food over this place, and I don’t even consider olive garden quality! I guess I had high expectations for this place and unfortunately it wasn’t what I expected. I would give 1 star for the food, but I’m only giving 2 stars because of the décor, cleanliness, and complimentary bread. Sorry but don’t expect good Italian food here.

We enjoyed dinners of Pollo ala Piccata with lemon and lots of capers and Spinach Ravioli(sun dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, chicken, spinach and cheese in a tangy lemon cream sauce) and. Both made us very happy as the tastes were clear and strong. The Pollo came with a fairly good size Caesar salad with lots of toppings. Every table was presented with freshly baked white bread and balsamic and olive oil for dipping. The Portion size was large enough that we declined the really nice looking deserts in the front case, but I’ll try to save room next time!

Yumm-diddly-ummmm!!! We are from NorCal and we were looking for a place to eat dinner so we decided on Italian then ended up here! Super affordable, quick and the food was hella good! We ordered the truffle shrimp pasta, chipotle chicken pasta and pesto chicken pasta and each dish was well worth it! I would come here again next time we visit! Staff were super friendly and helpful!

I was really excited to find this place because back in the day, I was obsessed over Fazoli’s and I still have cravings for their pasta and ravioli. Unfortunately, I don’t think Tutto Fresco quite stacks up. Their pasta literally tastes cheap, and they’re a little overpriced for the quality. I’d rather spend a few bucks more and go to Olive Garden. They have higher quality pasta and unlimited soup! That being said, however, I still keep coming back about once a month. Their Chipotle sauce is pretty good, and I like their seafood pasta(I forget the name). The unlimited bread with olive oil and balsamic is fantastic. I would have given them 4 stars, actually, but my biggest issue is the wait. Every time, they take forever at the drive-thru. Only 2 cars in line last time I went, and I waited over half an hour to get my food! The other cars, like me, were used to it, so we had all parked our cars in the drive-thru while waiting. That’s how long they take…

3.5 Stars… I was skeptical about this restaurant because it has a Drive-Thru! I have never seen an Italian restaurant with one before since it takes time to prepare Italian dishes. I hope they don’t have everything prepared on the side and quickly throw in ingredients together once they receive an order… So to be sure, I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana since its breaded and I can easily tell if it’s fresh… And sure enough, it was! The complimentary focaccia bread was soft and delicious when paired with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The olive oil was infused with rosemary and other spices which made it look presentable. Unfortunately, I ate too much of it by the time my entrée arrived. The Chicken Parmigiana had a thick breading, covered with lots of melted cheese, and sitting on a pool of marinara. The portion size was big, but I wasn’t too impressed with the flavors. But I was impressed with the prices. Everything on the menu was pretty cheap. After realizing my chicken came out fresh, I will not be hesitant in ordering different menu items if I came back.

Just had the Tomato Bisque soup with the complimentary and I have to say they are delicious. One of the best soups I’ve tasted. My taste buds were blown away.

I had lunch there today, well kind of, I went through the drive thru. Which I thought was cool because sometimes you want restaurant quality food without the wait. So I had the Pesto Salman with grilled veggies, a cesat salad & some bread! The bread is so warm and fluffy. I try not to eat bread, but this one is hard to resist! The salman was on point! I am not a big fish eater, but I have been wanting to broader my horizons. So now that I have had two WONDERFUL fish experiences, I am excited! Anyways, this place was great! I recommend going(:

Amazing all around! Here is our experience. First of all, I am huge on customer service. We had never eaten here before, although we had driven by several times. Tonight, my lady and I went to try it out. Wow! Are we glad we did. The food was amazing! But it doesn’t stop there. I had ordered Camera, and my lady order Whole wheat penne. Well, the meals came, but my lady said she thought she had gotten the wrong dish, but decided to eat it anyway. After we were just about finished, the General Manager, Alexis, came up and asked how the meal was, and what did we order. I told her Camera, to which she replied, after looking at my plate, that they had accidently brought us both someone else’s meals. I did not even realize it, not knowing what Camera even was… lol. To our amazement, and without us complaining or anything, she cheerfully offered to get our original meals made to go, at no charge. We, quite frankly, would of been content with the delicious meals we just ate, but happily agreed to the extra meals. Folks, like I said, I am huge on customer service, and this place obviously gets it. The General Manager sure does. Excellent food, excellent service, excellent atmosphere! Tutto Fresco, and Alexis, the General Manager, have earned not only our respect, but earned our business as future customers. Thank you so much, Tutto Fresco, and Alexis, for an excellent dining experience.

If you want real Italian, something that doesn’t involve going to Olive Garden, this is the place to be! They are fast, whether you use the drive-thru or go inside to order. I’ve been to the Orange location, which is just as good, but the service here at the Santa Ana location tops it off. When I entered, an older gentleman(the manager or owner) greeted me before any of the cashiers greeted me and told me I can go ahead and order with any of them. I usually order fettucini with chicken & broccoli, but I also recommend chicken marsala. For dessert, get the carrot cake! The portions are huge and can be split into 2 or 3. The slice of carrot cake was so big and worth the money! It’s filled with nuts and has a thin layer of cream cheese, which is perfect since I scoop the cream cheese off if it is too much. For my take-out order, they asked if I wanted bread, which I said yes. The bread is worth indulging in, so soft and fluffy, paired with their balsamic vinegar sauce. Everything comes out quickly and nicely displayed for eat-in orders or nicely packaged for take-out orders. There were separate utensils for the fettucini and the carrot cake. They also put some sauce for the bread and some parmesan cheese packaged nicely, separated from the bread and fettucini. Fast and delicious!

We ordered take out and it arrived so fast! The spinach and artichoke dip was on the cheesy side it had lots of mozzarella ALOT! But it did have a good amount artichoke hearts and spinach! I ordered the spinach ravioli it was super good complimented by w/lemon vodka sauce taste was killer! This place is rad for Italian considering it has take out, delivery, drive thru or dine in. Check it out it’s a must.

I’ve driven buy this place a thousand times and never stopped in. I’m kicking myself in the ass for not coming here sooner. I thought Italian that has a drive through must be crap. I was so wrong. For my first time I just got the spaghetti with meatballs. Their meatballs have cheese inside of them. Wow I wish there were more than two on my order. I could eat these all day long. The spaghetti and meat sauce was yummy. The bread was also very good. My order was to go and I received my order faster than when I go to a burger joint. The staff was great. The girl that took my order asked if I wanted a water while I waited. This is a place that I will definitely return to

Absolutely solid in every way. Here are three reasons why this is the best fast casual type restaurant I’ve ever eaten at: 1. The service: While you order up front, everything after that is full service(bread, water, and even pouring the olive oil onto your plate to dip your bread and bringing you a mint at the end). Little stuff like that matters to me. And look, I did not tip bc I didn’t know they would do the full service thing after I bought my food up front. But this was the some of the best service I’ve ever had in ANY restaurant. That tells me that these workers take pride in their work regardless of the(probably meager) tips they receive. 2. For the price, this is the best Italian food I’ve had. Look, I know everyone has their favorite Italian joint. Peace. And I’ve had better(from my grandma and parent’s kitchen), but hear me out: This quality is routinely priced at at least DOUBLE the cost in any other place I’ve been to. It’s Dec, and everything tasted fresh. Not that you can’t can your sauce and import your veggies, but seriously, this quality was shockingly good for what I paid. 3. The attention to detail. It’s Christmas time and this place went all out. Disneyland is my benchmark for attention to detail, and I can honestly say it was close in terms of the effort I saw put into their decorations and the overall ambiance and cleanliness of this place. They even had some of their pictures of the wall replaced with Christmas themed pictures. All in all, this place set the bar for me. Any other fast casual restaurant is going to need to do A LOT to be on this place’s level. I’d come here for my last meal. Have I plugged this place enough???

I love this place it’s awesome and really pretty inside, very clean. The food is very delicious, i love pesto and the chicken pesto panini and pesto pasta are amazing! It’s a sit down restaurant where you order and pay then sit down, upon sitting a waiter comes with fluffy yummy bread and oil/Vinegar, 15 minutes later your yummy food is brought out YUMMM

Tutto Fresco is a fast/casual Italian restaurant. You order and pay at the counter, find a table, and your food is brought to you. The ambiance and attentive table service gives off more of a «regular sit-down restaurant vibe. Focaccia bread w/oil & vinegar is even brought to your table before your meal! As for the food, we tried the following: Fried calamari — rings & tentacles fried nicely and served w/marinara & a jalapeño aioli. I don’t know if I’d order this again though; I thought it smelled/tasted a tad bit«fishy». Tomato bisque soup — really flavorful! Pairs great w/the complimentary focaccia. Chicken Caesar salad — good croutons, nice garlick-y Caesar dressing, and the sliced, grilled chicken was cooked well. Rotisserie chicken w/vegetables — chicken was heavily seasoned. Way too much lemon; tasted like the chicken was brined in Lysol. Very disappointing. The total for all the above w/one soft drink was $ 44, not including tip. At those prices, I’d much rather go to an actual sit-down restaurant. I thought this was supposed to be fast/casual dining? They even have a drive-thru for crying out loud! I guess I would come back if I wanted some quick and good tomato soup or Caesar salad. But ehh, I’m in no real hurry. But I will say the service here was very good — the staff were all very friendly and they came by often to check on us.

Any craving Italian food seemingly out of nowhere, my stomach first asked for Olive Garden. But soon I remembered Olive Garden sucks. Being in Tustin the answer was simple, Tutto Fresco. This place is absolutely phenomenal! They treat like you a traditional sit down restaurant– free warm bread, bottles of seasoned olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette– except with the prices of fast food. You order first, which is kinda weird, but only in theory, the reality is the prices are outrageously fair and food comes out so quick it would be waiting for you if you went to wash your hands. The pesto is to die for, the tomato sauce ripe and rich. They make a mean rotisserie chicken and their calamari will keep you coming back. I’ve never before encountered an Italian place quite like this and I tell you it’s shear brilliance. Best of all, the staff act like waiters, checking in on you and ensuring your best dining experience. If you like pasta, amazing prices, fast service and no fat mafia dudes sitting in the corner counting cash and arguing about the cannoli, this place is for you.

I’m probably one of those people that definitely misjudged this place by it’s exterior. Can you blame me though? It has a drive-thru!!! Come on, how many Italian places do you know that has a drive thru? Good ones at that. I’ll tell you how many. ONE dangit. Tutto Fresco was ridiculous in it’s execution. Prices: Definitely well priced. This is one of my biggest critiques for Italian restaurants, they overprice things like mad, but here you can easily get 2 meals worth for the $ 10 – 15 range. Taste: Damn, where do I begin. Free Bread with Oil and Vinegar makes you want to dine-in just so you can eat this all day. Spinach Ravioli was wonderfully made. The sauce on top of it was so perfectly seasoned and flavorful that I ate it to the last drop. Please give this place a chance :] The staff here is extremely friendly!
