Tutti Noi

"We decided to go out to dinner, and I figured earlier would be better. Went to dinner about 530 when we arrived at the restaurant was empty there was only one table and no one at the bar. A woman came over and asked if we had reservations. I said we didn’t and she seem to be annoyed she mumbled something under her breath and not friendlyThen she looks at me and says well it’s still early. We got seated and we looked online at the prices were not listed. I figured how bad could it be. The only thing saving that place for a lower review is that our waiter was so amazing.very friendly and nice. So we went with the special Barada with fruit I didn’t know the price i figure couldn’t be more than $20. I decided to order another special not knowing what the price was it was like a sample of pasta. It was pretty small so I was shocked when it was over $35 for a small plate. It wasn’t even that great for that price. I think the restaurant thinks that they are located in Manhattan because the prices are unbelievable for oceanside."

"Given the abundance of Italian restaurants in this area, extremely confused why people would waste their money at a spot that is unwelcoming, terrible service and “okay” food. Had a reservation for 8pm, arrived at 7:50pm and was not acknowledged by staff until 8:15pm when my husband had to ask for someone to seat us. It was as if we were ghosts. Another couple came and left during this time as well. We still had to wait another 15 or 20 minutes for the table to be ready. Totally get being understaffed (I worked in restaurants for years), but why accept an 8pm reservation if you’re unable to seat the table at the time of reservation? At about 8:40 we were finally seated. Waitress then forgot to put in the appetizers, which was frustrating given how long we waited to be seated. Food was alright but I’ve had much better Italian for less expensive than this spot. Then as we were leaving, the owner or manager (not sure) asked how our dinner was and we said after 3 hours, it was fine. The bartender then proceeded to laugh and mock the comment “oOoh tHrEe HoUrS HAHA” (squidward voice) rather than apologizing for the long wait time, forgetting the apps, or just waiting until we were out of the ear shot to make fun of customers who just paid 250$ to your business for dinner. Horrendous experience and will never go back. There are plenty of Italian restaurants to choose from around ocean side/RVC/long beach. Please don’t waste your money here. Tutti [hell]noi."

"Awful dining experience. Here’s how it went: We had a reservation but weren’t acknowledged for 20 minutes (15 minutes passed the time of the reservation.) And to be acknowledged, it took a proactive - “hello we’ve been waiting here 20 minutes and nobody has acknowledged us, is there a host/ hostess?” The response- “ we’re all working here!!” You can immediately tell that this is the type of establishment that have regular customers whom the owners treat very well, but others like foreigners. Or at least they choose who they treat well…. Finally we get a seat at a table 30 minutes after the reservation. The food took over an hour and the salad was forgotten about. There was some “ apologies “ but no actions. Nothing taken off the bill. No friendly manager to reassure this wouldn’t happened again… no redemption or attempt at salvation at all. Lastly, the drinks are great and the food is not bad ! But I’m talking about experience here .. Keep your regulars and to the new customers Beware!!"

"5 star restaurant especially for Oceanside. The people are amazing. The environment is wonderful, down the the decor! The drinks are on point ( margaritas are freshly made) the owners and staff are the nicest people. It’s so cute and quaint!!!! I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a nice night out, date night, or a drink at the bar. I been going to them since they opened and it’s so lovely. I love that it’s family owned. def my favorite place to go locally!"

"Food is good, service is great, atmosphere is cozy - but a little too expensive - should reduce by couple of $$ We've been well welcome, served. Food - starters and entrees are good, tasty, good quantity - good choice of cocktails and wine"
