THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Tutto Mondo Trattoria Restaurant Review:


It’s all here: tile floors and straw chairs, caskets of hanging Chianti bottles, photos of Hollywood notables who’ve dug into hearty pasta dishes, and the oozy croon of Dean Martin murmuring through the dimly lit dining room. What’s missing is the cheese. Sure they have it grated or sliced, but thankfully, Mondo’s feels neither clichéd nor corny. Take your time over a bowl of niçoise olives and crusty bread to mull over 30 pasta dishes. A rich carbonara makes an unforgettable entrance, with added crisp bacon slices studding the spaghetti. Seek comfort in simplicity like pollo arosto, half of a roasted chicken scented with rosemary, sage and garlic or the aglio e olio alla kiki (try saying that ten times) or just ask for pasta with fresh oyster mushrooms with olive oil, garlic and parsley. There’s so much more to the wine list than Chianti---so if you’ve BYO, “forget about it.”
