We love everything about restaurants. In particular, we love Italian. We love the food, the wine, the diversity, and the pride that Italians take in hosting a memorable experience. We’ve spent our lives developing restaurants. From a simple deli or a laidback pub to award-winning fine dining, we have worked hard and are proud to present Autostrada Osteria.It’s a place with a simple philosophy. Inspired by the casual osterie of Italy, the focus is on a simple menu where quality ingredients shine, regional wines that represent a place, and a room filled with warmth and bustle.We hope you enjoy what we’ve poured our hearts into.Dustin & Lucais

    What a wonderful lunch. This was my first time dining at Tutto. I hosted a friend for her birthday. When we arrived, the maitre d' warmly greeted and seated us. He then brought a birthday card to my friend. We had a delicious lunch, lingcod and butternut squash ravioli. Also some warm focaccia with sundried tomatoes delivered on the house with some olive oil. Several servers checked to see that all was fine and brought fresh pepper and parmesan cheese, water, tea and coffee (served with yummy biscotti). I would highly recommend this first rate Italian restaurant. The ambiance is warm and welcoming. The service is first rate. And the food is authentic and delicious. The menu has a varied selection. It's a very special restaurant.

    The service was fantastic. Knew when to be present and when not to be. It's so rare for service to find that happy medium of not making their guest wait and not being a bother. Tonight was perfect.
