| - We were really looking forward to Tutti Santi based on the recommendation of a waiter we met at a coffee shop earlier in the week. Nice looking interior.... then it went rapidly downhill.
A wobbly two top ( one of many) shoved up against a bar rail, which I assume they did to expand seating for Valentines Day... pretty tacky, but we were OK with it understanding they were trying to maximize the room for the holiday.
They claim online to have a gluten free menu, it wasn't available this evening, and NO SUBSTITUTIONS.
We probably should have asked if they were going to offer the gluten free menu when we booked reservations, so that is on us.
OK... I found the one thing on the menu that I could have, which basically ended up being a tin foil packet of boiled salmon, floating in white wine with a couple of olives and 4 of the toughest shrimp I've ever encountered. My wife felt her her ravioli dish was sub Olive Garden.
We saw our waiter once during the entire time we were eating, he came back when we were done to tell us that they had him covering too many tables. He didn't ask how we enjoyed the meal, if we wanted more wine, if we were done with our plates... just a sigh and off he went. My wife got his attention long enough to order another glass of wine, 15 minutes later I caught his attention and asked for our bill and cancelled the wine.
We would have loved to enjoy another glass of wine and look at a dessert menu.... never offered.
A while later our waiter dropped the bill on the table, mumbled something, and disappeared again. A lady who I assume must have been a host that evening saw the bill and credit card and cheerfully offered to run the check.
We dine out three or four times a week, and frankly I've never posted a negative review , but this was really just bad business.
