I gazed above my head to see fake plastic grapes hanging down. Such is the decor, but I admit, I sorta liked it. Their bread for dipping in sauce has an ideal texture for when you dip it into the pesto con olive oil.
The reason it loses a star is because their ceasar salad leaves were wilted. I was none too impressed with their salad. HOWEVER, their amazing linguine with wine sauce and clams more than made up for the one folly. There was a dash of spice and I practically cleared my plate! I would have left the plate clean if I wasn't so stuffed!
Also, let me tell you I am discerning when it comes to food. I've had Italian food in Philly (hello, all of the southern area of the city is made up of Italians) and have been in the North End of Boston renowned for its pasta, bruchetta, etc. I have also been to Rome itself to eat! In comparison, I swear to you my dish at Tutto Pasta was tops.
