Tutto Gusto changed hands in November 2007 and became Quinlan Park BAr and Grill FYI.

My family has ate there 2 times.
The first time we were dieting and the food was expected. (salads)

second time was terrible. The Lasagna tasted worst then eating a warmed up dinner 7 days later from olive garden. Service was terrible as well.

We have not been since.

Have to second the recent good review of Tutto Gusto – this is now one of our go-to places on nights when we’re too busy to cook, and we always enjoy it!

I usually order the Walnut Chicken, which is consistently good and extremely filling (always take leftovers home) and my husband usually has the Penne Texitali or the Pasta della Nona, both of which are very good every time he orders. We’ve had a variety of servers, some more experienced than others, but all friendly and doing a good job.

It does tend to be a bit noisy during peak hours, but frankly that seems to be from most parents not watching their children sufficiently.

Tutto Gusto gets a consistent two thumbs up from us!

I was surprised to read the largely negative reviews of TG. We’ve eaten there 15-20 times since we moved here in March, and have never had significant problems with service, and most of the time, the service has been very good. The food has always been at least very good, and has ranged from very good to excellent. The prices and portions are reasonable and appropriate, and I’ve never felt I was being ‘gouged’ becuase the place is convenient.
We love Italian food, and TG does a good job at each ‘culinary level’ . The salads are creative, fresh, and tasty. A large salad with the ‘house bread’ is just right for a light / medium meal, even for a guy. TG does not try to astound you with a large volume of food, and if thats what you seek, you should go elsewhere. The pasta dishes are very good, and after being there a number of times, I can attest that TG is very consistent with the presentation and food quality of the pasta dishes. I’ve had the SW Chicken and the Spinach pizzas-they were both very good from the crust to the toppings.
The signature dishes are just outstanding and comparable to similar dishes at much more expensive restaurants. The chocolate dessert is just great-a real treat.
TG is often noisy simply becuase it is a family oriented place and often has many children! Weather permitting, you should sit outside during ‘peak kid hours’.
We have been very pleased to have TG, a consistently good Italian resturant, right around the corner. To the TG management I say: take what constructive criticism you can get from this forum, and ‘filter’ the rest.

This tops the charts of garbage. Went four times and this place is the lowest of them all. Amazing those Brick Oven owners would put out such a terrible product. Had the pasta and that was horrible! Went and had the pizza and salad that was the worst ever. So if you plane to go out don’t do it there. Service was off the chart bad with over pricy Donkey sh##

Play area is nice. Food is average. Restaurant is too loud. Hang some curtains or something to limit the noise. My ears were ringing when I left.

Oh well I will continue to go once in a while because the kids like to play on the playscape.

We’ve eaten there 3 times total – and probably won’t go for a fourth. My husband ordered a pasta dish which wasn’t very good, and while my salad was alright it was pretty pricey for being so small. We have friends that refuse to eat there because of horrible service and less than stellar eats.

The only good thing it has going for it is the kids play area and outdoor seating.

The food is just ok- I was really hoping for food similar to Mezzaluna, which was outstanding, but was dissapointed. It is definately a family oriented restaurant, so if you are looking for a quiet, romantic dinner one evening, don’t go to Tutto Gusto! It is packed with children everywhere and very noisy.

Called in an order and was told to pick it up in 20 minutes. When I arrived, was told that they couldn’t find my order and that it would be another 20 minutes. Understand that mitakes happen, but no apology and nobody really cared to help. There is clearly no MGMT at that place because the service is always really poor. I have probably eaten there 6 times and will not go back because they haven’t fixed their problems
