Tutti Mangia Italian Chophouse

I absolutely love this restaurant! The food and cocktails are exceptional. You have to try the mushroom crostini from the appetizer menu—it's a must! Overall, I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all as 5 out of 5.

Tutti Mangia for a birthday gathering was perfect! The food was great. Wedge salad the best I've had. Recommend the Paparadelle. Especially loved the Pom martini with blood orange garnish. Perfection. Highly recommend.

I had an incredible birthday dinner at this fantastic restaurant. Our waiter, Alex, was outstanding! The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was just right. This restaurant truly offers a marvelous dining experience. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Tutti Mangia, for making my birthday dinner so memorable!

The beer selection was disappointing for a place that brands itself as a higher-end chophouse. They had some mediocre local brews on tap, and when the waitress noticed I wasn’t impressed, she suggested a bottled macro instead. Their best beer was Duvel, which was a nice touch. I was initially told our steak would be out shortly, but considering the restaurant was nearly empty, we ended up waiting longer than expected. As we waited, I asked the waitress for some minestrone. The soup had good flavor from the tomatoes and well-cooked vegetables, but it was missing beans, which was puzzling. Finally, my Delmonico steak arrived. I ordered it medium rare, but had I known their definition of that, I would have gone for rare. Perhaps my first mistake was coming to an Italian restaurant for steak. Typically, a Delmonico is a ribeye, but in this case, it turned out to be a strip steak. They made sure to inform us it was a New York strip after we had already started eating. It was bland, overly salty, and overcooked, but I tried to make the best of it. They offered a complimentary dessert to make up for their mistake, which we declined, and they gave us $20 off our $78 bill. It should have been more, but I finished the steak because that’s how I was raised—not to waste food, especially meat. My wife wasn’t thrilled with her dish either, but it wasn’t quite as bad as mine. At this point, I wouldn’t return even for a free meal. It was just another example of the overhyped food scene in Claremont.
