My favorite part of Bar Tutto is...the bar! If there was a separate line to give just the bar stars, I would have included 5. The bartender we had is an expert, and made the most immaculate gin gimlet I have had in years! I fell in absolute love with that gin gimlet. For those of you that drink gin gimlets, you would know how delicate the vintage drink is to make. The combination of crisp, sweet, cold and liquor requires an expert hand to create the perfect balance. Highly recommend the gin gimlet, I had mine made with Plymouth Gin. My friend had hers made with a French gin, a bit to powerful on the florals for me for a gimlet. We both loved them. The location is nice, parking was available, surprisingly as it is in the West Loop, notorious for terrible parking options. The design of the space feels like it could be a great place for a date, warm lights, dark, clinking glasses, shiny things. It's nice to walk in and look at the scene. Very glitzy, upscale tech silicon valley feeling vibe - of course! Google is right around the corner. The guest services surprised me a bit. My friend and I had an OpenTable reservation, which I mistakenly made for the day after, not the day we were there. The front person told us there were no tables available. So I booked another time, for day of on OpenTable, and yes, there was availability. So we really don't know the reason for this. The good news, is that we were able to order those delicious gin gimlets while we waited :10 minutes. Our server was perfect. I'm a creative that notices details. And her fashion accessory was six lined up ball point pens in her uniform pocket, and an amazing bright red note book to write down our order. I mean, you just can't get any better than that. The sommelier was great, she understood the proper temperature to serve white wines, which is actually not very cold I learned from her. But I prefer it very chilled, so she retrieved a fresh bottle from the back for me that was colder. It was perfect. The meal was very good, but I will admit not great. My friend and I had the Antipasti Salad, which may have been perfect, but the dressing was over the top and drenched the greens. We did not send it back, because we didn't want to be a bother. The Fusilli was nice, but it was served room temperature, and again, we didn't want to complain, because my friend and I hadn't seen each other in so long, we just went with it. The fries were very average. And finally, the apple cake was so cold, we could tell it was refrigerated, and we were not sure that it was fresh. Unclear on that. Overall, the place is a nice place to socialize, they need to work on the menu and temperature of the food items. Something is off. But alas, I was so happy to be with my friend, and we truly loved the bar. So perhaps, the name is apropos for the experience: BAR Tutto.

This was my second time visiting the restaurant, but my first time coming for lunch. All the food was fresh and absolutely delicious, and the restaurant felt warm, homey, and inviting. We loved every detail on the walls, along with the big windows that made the space bright, sunny, and spacious. Our waiter made the experience outstanding. He was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain every dish on the menu, making sure our expectations were met. The service overall was beyond great! We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back again.

Had a birthday dinner at Bar Tutto and had the best time! I definitely recommend getting a reservation as this place was packed on a Friday night! With that though, it wasn’t too loud nor did it feel like people were on top of each other. Anywho, on to food and drinks! We got the Valentine’s drink special as well as some drinks off the regular cocktail menu and everything was delicious! We were told two plates (one small and one large) would be good per person, but looking back we could’ve gone with 3 small and 3 big plates to share as servings are hearty (there were six in the group). We did get to try a variety of things and all the food was made perfectly. Small plate wise we got the beet salad (a favorite), carrots, mussel tartini, and truffle fries. For our mains we got a variety of pastas and the burger. The pasta is made in house and you could tell by how fresh it tasted. My friend loved her burger - it looked very juicy and flavorful. We split the panna cotta for dessert (it was on the smaller side but at this point we were so happy full after dinner that it was a perfect size) which I would definitely come back for! Overall, this restaurant is a great addition to West Loop and I’ll definitely be back. A shout out to our server who did a phenomenal job checking in on us without hovering and telling some great stories which had us laughing throughout the night!

The best dinner and the best espresso martini! Came here with a group of girlfriends for dinner and we truly had the best experience. Jared, our server, took such great care of us, was super welcoming, fun, and knowledgeable. The menu is meant to be tapas style, so we quite literally got almost everything. We split the anchovy crostini, sausage and mushroom crostini (so delish!), carrot salad, beets, prawns (that calabrian chili sauce was so freaking good), fusilli pasta (my fave), and rigatoni pasta. Everything blew it out of the park - we loved it all! The cherry on top was Chef Flamm coming over to our table and bringing all 3 desserts: apple cake, panna cotta and toffee cheesecake, for all of us to share. I will be dreaming about that apple cake!! Fantastic hospitality and can’t wait to come back again! Can’t recommend this spot enough!

We came here for brunch and really enjoyed it. The food was delicious with interesting flavor combinations, and the drinks were great too. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the interior is genuinely beautiful. A very pleasant place to spend time
