| - We had a large party at Tutti Santi, in the dining room which was to the right upon entering. We had the room to ourselves. Our server was friendly and efficient. He handled the large group with ease and kept us stocked with beverages throughout the meal. This alone made the night a great experience since dining with a large group can often become painful if the staff are not able to handle it.
As for the food, it received the satisfaction of both the carnivores and the vegetarians in the party. I wouldn't say it was amazing, but it was good, solid Italian food. We ordered a variety of appetizers - by far the best was the grilled calamari. For entrees, most people had some variation of eggplant Parmesan or meat with pasta on the side. I tried the mixed seafood in a white wine and butter sauce. It was great and satisfied my desire to avoid spaghetti.
For dessert, we just ordered platters of an assortment of desserts. With dessert, our server sang an excellent rendition of happy birthday, which simultaneously embarrassed and delighted the birthday person. The tiramisu was the favorite of the group by far, but the items were all quite good. I might skip the meal and go straight for dessert so that I have room for it.
Overall, our dinner at Tutti Santi was a good experience for our large party, thanks to the quick service and attention from our server. The food wasn't my favorite but given the satisfaction of most people, which is hard to do in a group, we will probably be back.
