E Tutto Qua
Since Andrea the friendly & humorous guy at the door constantly
tries to get me to dine at this establishment while I’m waiting to catch the
bus to the ballpark I was excited to finally say yes to him and come in for a
meal. Stop #8 was E Tutto Qua, which translates to "It's All Here"
True story. This place has it all, amazing atmosphere, super engaging &
attentive staff, and fabulous food. Even though I wasn’t going to the Giants
game I of course still wanted to watch it, so what better way to do so than at a
fun restaurant with my girls? Diane & Erin were able to join me and we were
lucky enough to get a cozy corner table and a channel change so we could view the
the game. The restaurant is nice from the outside but it is even more
impressive inside. Extremely lively. The wait staff is so comfortable with each
other they even yell orders out across the room and manage to do so in a non-distracting
way. We started with the burrata pomodoro de rucola: creamy Italian mozzarella
with cherry tomatoes, arugula, and Kalamata olives. When they say creamy it is
not false advertising. Absolutely delish, a great combo of flavors. I just wish
there were more tomatoes with it. For our main dishes, Di got the spaghetti
Bolognese, I had the gnocchi in a gorgonzola sauce (big surprise) and Erin had
one of the specials- spinach fettuccine with prosciutto, mushrooms & sweet
green peas in a light cream sauce. We were all very happy with our pastas,
spicy D just wished hers had a bit more spice. It felt like a traditional
Italian meal where you truly get to sit for hours and enjoy wonderful rich food
& conversation with good peeps. Erin called the wait staff ninjas since
they would manage to fill up water glasses or clear dishes from the table with
out us even noticing. I actually liked it better when the “ninjas” would stop
by and chat with us. They were all very entertaining, which was a good thing since
the game sucked. L For
dessert I was talked into getting the panna cotta and I’m very happy about
that. Andrea did not steer me wrong. It was decadent. Half of it was covered in
strawberry sauce and the other in chocolate hazelnut. AMAZING. The girls both
had gelato, Di had chocolate chip and Erin had chocolate hazelnut. The gelato
was really good too and they have 12 flavors to chose from. Wonderful experience. The service was above and beyond (and easy on the eyes) and
the food and atmosphere were just like being in Italy.
I think you can guess how many Ciabatta loaves this one got:
