I was a Tutto Pasta customer for many years. As a matter of fact, I recall dining there since I was a teenager many moons ago. Nowadays I usually order their pizza delivery, but on occasion I do dine there. This Saturday my wife, daughter...and myself decided to go for dinner along with a friend and fellow Brickell resident who had never been there. Before we arrived we praised the restaurant to our friend, excellent food, service and price. What a shock when we arrived. As soon as we opened the door the hostess noted we had a dog and informed we could only be served outside (it was raining). We informed that the dog was a service animal, as it was clearly indicated on the dog vest. The very unfriendly and rude hostess snapped that they did not accept “that particular kind” of service dog. We were rather perplexed, and we calmly pointed out that dog in question was a registered service dog (not emotional support, as commonly confused). My friend offered to show the service dog’s ID, but to no avail. Very rudely the hostess said for us to look at the sign by the door. Alas, the sign stated clearly that service animals permitted. When I pointed out this information, she simply turned her back on me and walked away. Upon this rude gesture (not typical nor acceptable in the service industry) I called her attention, to which she promptly replied “Do you want me to call the cops?!” We obviously left the restaurant. How dare she? What a complete humiliating experience this was! How can a restaurant hire someone who is so rude, ignorant and with no social skills? How can at this day and age people treat people that require special assistance in such a way? In just a mere 2 minutes this restaurant lost forever a client that has dined there since the ‘90s. Blessing in disguise. Upon leaving I searched for another Italian restaurant nearby. We ended up at Ponte Vecchio on Coral Way. Excellent food! Excellent service! And most importantly, they accept service animals, as per law, without questioning, humiliating or threatening to call the police on their patrons.More

My family and I convinced a friend to go to Tutto Pasta for dinner but unfortunately, we had the most humiliating experience in a Miami restaurant. My friend brought her service dog (not an emotional support dog, an ACTUAL SERVICE DOG) and we waited for...the hostess to be seated (there were several empty tables). When the hostess finally came, she immediately frowned upon the dog and rudely stated “you have to sit outside” in a very unfriendly manner. We alerted her the tables outside were wet because it had been raining and that it was very hot outside. Again, she looked at my friend’s service dog with utter disgust. When we realized the issue was the dog, we tried clarifying to her that the schnauzer (mid-sized dog) was a service dog an not an emotional support dog. Meaning: you can’t ban a service dog from entering anywhere. To which she replied: “we don’t accept THIS TYPE of service dog”. My friend asked her if she needed to see the dog’s ID card but she wasn’t interested. If we had told her our friend’s condition, she’d probably understand that service dogs aren’t solely for the blind as a lot of ignorant people think. But no one should be forced to disclose their medical history to a restaurant hostess when a dog has all the paperwork to prove it’s a service dog. Shame on TUTTO PASTA and the people they carelessly hire. This woman could never have been hired to work with the public, she’s more suited for a job that doesn’t deal with people. The blessing in disguise in the story was: we left the restaurant very upset and looked for another Italian restaurant in the area. To our luck, just 2 miles away we found the BEST Italian restaurant we’ve ever eaten in Miami: PONTE VECCHIO. What a difference! The hostess saw that we were accompanied by a service dog and she was sweet and welcoming. She told us how it was a family restaurant and how she hoped we enjoyed our meal. The food and the service were a million times better than Tutto Pasta’s. I’m going to make an entire review on their amazing food and service. For now, I’d just leave you with this tip: for great Italian food in the Brickell/ Coral way area, avoid being offended and humiliated, go to Ponte Vecchio: superb service, pasta and sangria. 😋More

We went early on a Friday evening as the restaurant started to fill up. We had a reservation for a party of six and to our surprise we had an incredibly rude and slow waiter who didn’t even know the menu. We tried speaking to...the manager and that was even worse. I understand restaurants can’t accommodate to everyone’s needs, and I don’t expect them to, but knowing the ingredients is basic and so is being apologetic. This restaurant has gone downhill since the owners divorced. I used to love it when it was Tutto pasta & Tutto pizza. None of us will ever return here again!More

Our brothers, sister and spouses had a delightful dinner here last Saturday evening. My husband had the pear ravioli and thought it the best ever! Risotto Seafood was very good, also. I had a house salad that was big enough to share and was delicious....A lovely evening. Would definitely recommend!More

Terrible. I ordered the ravioli with pear Gorgonzola and truffle but here was no flavor of any of the ingredients. Water was served with soap. Understand an error can occur but no effort to correct or acknowledge to the customer is disappointing. Not coming back.

I love this very affordable Italian restaurant near Brickell in Miami. The service is always great and the specials out of this world. My favorite is start with calamari and finish up with veal parmegian with César’s salad.

This Italian restaurant located just across the I-95 overpass from costly Brickell is as good or better than most more costly eateries to the east.
