 utti Matti translates to: “Everybody’s crazy,” but the rustic Italian restaurant located on Adelaide brings Tuscan classics to this upscale, but laidback, eatery. The menu has the freshest in homemade breads and pastas. The Papardelle con stracotto is one of their notable dishes with hand-cut pappardelle with pulled brisket, cherry tomatoes, garlic and fresh herbs ($16). – A.C.

7 Reader Reviews | Our family had dinner at Tutti matti and was a TERRIBLE experience. The food was cold and not worth the prices they were charging. I had the pinci and my wife had the rabbit and the rest the family had the fish. The pasta was ok but still eatable, my wife had a battle with bones, wowwwww what kind rabbit was? The fish was a little bit overcook and honestly the chef could serve it instead of dry vegetables. We asked to the chef to came over. Chef owner Alida came to our table to perform awful magic tricks which was embarrasing. Maybe she should be in the kitchen working on his technique...The service scandalous and ridicolous. Needless to say, we won't be returning tutti matti

Attended for Summerlicious 2007. After a sparkling experience at Mildred Pierce, I was hoping for another prix fixe success at Tutti Matti. The food was mediocre. Cold bread was served with olive oil and vinagrette. The appetizer, carpaccio di manzo was ordinary, while the main, pappardelle al ragu, was okay, hot but not very moist and a bit unpleasantly dry in the mouth. The dessert was chocolate cake, which tasted like a sheet cake (improved by melted caramel), but the little scoop of vanilla ice cream was amazing and tasted of delicious vanilla. I know: what can you expect for $25? Still, I will probably not go back to Tutti Matti after Summerlicious, particularly after how warmly I was treated and how stunning the food was at Mildred Pierce for a comparable price.
It was the service that was the most annoying -- slow and not very proactive. It was a busy night, but after many delays in trying to catch the eye of our server (to ask for water, signal for the bill, etc), my boyfriend confided me that he got the distinct impression our server was actively ignoring us. We were a bit mystified, but paid (gratuity was already included), and left, without any intention of returning. Perhaps our expectations were built up; I made reservations on a recommendation, and one of my boyfriend's relatives had backed up the choice.

This is my favourite restaurant in Toronto. The food is delicious (especially the homemade pastas).... the staff is delightful...the wine list is super impressive...and the atmosphere is relaxing while elegant!
