| - I was stoked to check out Tutti Matti because it's operated by one of the few female head chefs and restaurant owners in Canada. I opted for the Summerlicious menu which included caprese salad with watermelon and tomato on crostone with prosciutto, garlic and olive oil. I don't know how to express in words how magnificent this salad was, but lets just say, if I were on death row, it would definitely be a contender for my last meal on earth.
If I had left Tutti Matti having only eaten the salad, it would have been a five star rating without question. However, my next course, the hand-cut tagliatelle, was disappointing. I think this had more to do with my preference for heartier pastas like gnocchi and penne than the dish itself (and also my absurd expectations, having heard so many rave reviews of their legendary pasta) but it just didn't set off fireworks in my mouth like the salad.
For dessert, I had the budino dark chocolate mousse with canoli cookie and salted caramel gelato. Sweet baby Jesus, it was phenomenal.
Meal aside, the service was prompt and friendly. I'm looking forward to coming here again.
