Tutoni's Restaurant
Welcome to Tutoni's, where each dish tells a story and every visit is an experience.
Our menu of creative dishes and new spins on traditional Italian standards – rooted in our region’s abundant agricultural scene – offers guests a dining experience they can’t find anywhere else. We strive to pair top-notch service in a sophisticated-casual setting for a unique York, Pa. Italian restaurant experience.
We embody the farm-to-table movement and take pride in working with local farms and farmers. Our seasonal menus emphasize the best local produce and meats grown and raised in Central Pennsylvania.
A menu like no other
Start off with our popular antipasto options, which include a charcuterie board that features a daily selection of cured meats and a cheese board with some of the finest cheese found in York and Lancaster counties. Warm up with a plate of calamari or our seasonal brussels sprouts. You could also enjoy a refreshing salad made with local greens from Brogue Hydroponics and other seasonal additions.
Our house-made pasta dishes are made from scratch daily - from traditional favorites such as our signature rigatoni bolognese or gemelli chicken, to true Italian gems like gnocchi and cavatelli - and are complemented with local flavors of the season, creating a meal that takes guests on a culinary journey that starts in "the old country" and ends right here in our Downtown York restaurant.
Using the best local ingredients available, our entrée selection changes with the seasons. Prepare your palate for bursts of fresh flavors in the spring and summer and comforting, cozy creations to get you through the cooler months.
And just when you think the meal couldn't be better, our daily selection of heavenly house-made miniature desserts are the perfect sweet bite to end your experience.
Wash it down at the TT Bar
Featuring Italian focused scratch cocktails using all housemade ingredients (from our bitters to our cranberry juice), the TT Bar will quickly become your go-to place. Not just for cocktails, but for craft beer and a state of the art 32 bottle wine tasting system. Pay for what you pour (1, 3 or 5 ounces) and try all of the different varietals and vintages that you've always desired, without having to buy the whole bottle.
Beginning in 2021, Tutoni's has been awarded a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, annually, for our extensive wine program. Featuring glasses and bottles from around the world with a focus on Italian wine, our Sommelier Taylor Small is sure to find the perfect pour for your palate.
And all of this with some fabulous food to go with it (we ARE still Tutoni's after all). We have a rotating cast of small plates on our '10 under $10' tapas menu. Still scratchmade, still locally sourced, and still what you'll crave. We've got you covered for after work drinks, late afternoon meetings with a bite to eat, and a great date spot for a Friday night. See you at the TT Bar.
COCKTAIL HOUR is 4-6 pm in the bar area each day and features $5 zero proof selections, $6 seasonal sangria, $7 select wines, & $8 traditional spritzes.
