Review: Tutti Mangia, Claremont, CA"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Tutti Mangia is a very quiet quaint smallish Italian Chophouse in Clarement.\u00a0 Very easy to miss if you&#8217;re not looking for it.\u00a0 Which would be a shame because it is very good.<\/p>\n<p>And did I mention small?\u00a0 The bar only has about 8 seats and the lounge area has an additional 4 two person tables.\u00a0 The restaurant itself it a bit bigger.\u00a0 So get there early because it does fill up.\u00a0\u00a0 Or make a reservation via the link below.<\/p>\n<p>The place itself is clean, bright and well organized, if a bit tight, with lots of windows.\u00a0 Overall the impression is upscale cosmopolitan and yet with a touch of romantic.<\/p>\n<p>The barkeep is Phil.\u00a0 I can only assume he has a backup somewhere, but every time I&#8217;ve been there he&#8217;s the bar master.\u00a0 And rightfully so!\u00a0 He does a great job of mixing the cocktails.\u00a0 The martinis are plentiful, cold, dry, and served promptly.<\/p>\n<p>Phil is the perfect barkeep: attentive, suggestive, helpful and discreet the rest off the time.\u00a0 And never too far away if you need a second drink.\u00a0 Or even a third.<\/p>\n<p>Tutti Mangia get two Martini glasses!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a
