Tutto Italia or Via Napoli?

[mariamouse]

Hi guys,

I am having trouble deciding between Via Napoli and Tutto Italia for dinner one night of our upcoming trip. I know that Via Napoli is known for its great pizza, but which restaurant has the best overall food quality in case we do not want pizza? Which restaurant's ambiance/service do you prefer? Is one clearly a superior dining experience over the other?

Thanks!

We've never dined at Via Napolia cause their menu is restricted to pizzas and pastas. We know it's an Italian restaurant so it's suppose to be dominated by those items. Our favorite was once Tutta cause the food quality was amazing and there was a variety in the selection of entrees and apps. They always have a changing menu.

Dont know what happen now though, the last two times going there, there's not much of a variety. And the apps are not as great as they use to be.

Cant talk enough good about the service though. They treat you like you're eating at a 5 star restaurant. The minute your drink goes halfway empty they replace it wtih a new one. Which is great to see such outstanding service. But it got to the point we were all afraid to drink anymore cause at that point they replaced our glasses about 4 times. We felt guilty making them work so hard. We were served by 2 people, I think their servers have assistants as well? He basically stood there watching to see if we needed anything. The minute any one of our drinks became halfway empty he'd run to the back to grab another glass for us. The server was constantly checking on us to see if you enjoy the food or to ask us if there's anything else she can do to accommodate us.

Their menu is ever changing though, so even though we say the food wasnt great the last time for us, we'd still go again. Plus the service makes up for the mediocre food. Who's to say their food wont be as great as it use to be?

We've done both in the past year and our opinion is that Via Napoli is the better choice. Food is quite tasty and service was great. The down-side seemed to be that it was fairly noisy.

I vote for Via napoli and have been to both in the last year. Be careful if you are on the DP as there are some restrictions.

I love both restaurants. Tutto is more elegant but darker inside. Via Napoli is beautiful inside and very bright. The food is great at both. Via Napoli is more than just pizza and pasta. Their chicken, veal and eggplant parms are delicious. Their appetizers are very good too.

If I had to pick one it would be Tutto cause I am craving their penne caprese right now.
