All-day cafes are having a moment right now, and chef Joe Flamm is hopping on the trend. The Top Chef season 15 winner announced that he is opening a new all-day cafe dubbed Bar Tutto under his hospitality firm, Day Off Group. The forthcoming Italian spot is set to open this winter in Fulton Market, making it the group’s fourth West Loop restaurant, in addition to Rose Mary, BLVD Steakhouse and il Carciofo. The restaurant will be located inside the just-completed residential building, Flora Tower, at 1110 W. Carroll Ave between May and Aberdeen Streets.
Literally translated to “bar everything,” Bar Tutto will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, beginning with classic Italian pastries, breakfast wraps and espresso service in the morning before transforming into a lively nighttime destination fueled by Aperol and Campari cocktails, and Italian beers and wines. Inspired by the vibrant wine bars and eateries of Italy, the menu will feature apertivo like anchovy crostino with crisp fritti misti, fresh pastas, and sumptuous mains like grilled dorade with fennel salsa verde and pork collar with peaches and polenta.
During the warmer months, diners can take advantage of the expansive outdoor patio and get a peek at the action through an open kitchen, anchored by a custom wood-fired grill. Set in an inviting space characterized by exposed brick, walnut millwork and vintage Italian cookbooks, Bar Tutto is primed to be an exciting new concept with the first-rate cooking we’ve come to know from Flamm.
An opening date has not been announced yet, but for the latest updates, we recommend checking Bar Tutto’s Instagram page.
