Tutto

What a treat it was to visit @tutto.uk for a festive Christmas Eve lunch! It was a truly delightful experience and the perfect way to count down to the big day

On arrival, the atmosphere was magical. The restaurant is beautiful decorated and the staff were fantastic—so attentive and genuinely eager to ensure we had the best experience. On occasion, we asked for recommendations, and their suggestions were always spot-on, tailored to our preferences

The menu is exceptional, filled with winter favourites and offering their signature four-course style. It begins with aperitifs and cicchetti (small plates) for sharing, though you can also opt for individual dishes, which I think works wonderfully with this menu. To start, we enjoyed their incredible homemade focaccia—always a highlight—and a sharing antipasti board. This board, also featured on their Sunday Sharing menu, is a personal favorite of mine, so I was thrilled to see it on the main menu as well. The standout dish for me was the Carbonara Tagliatelle. Not only was it visually stunning, but it was also absolutely delicious—the perfect portion for two, especially if you’re indulging in every course. Next, we had the Aubergine Parmigiana and a winter-inspired dish of Duck Breast Argodolce with pomegranate, capers, and radicchio, accompanied by wood-fired potatoes and seasonal greens. This meal was a sharing delight. The duck was tender and flavourful, while the parmigiana was rich and satisfying. As for the wood-fired potatoes, they were packed with garlic and rosemary—a combination I adore

Though we skipped dessert, we couldn’t resist ending our meal with a festive cocktail: a Lemoncello Spritz with a toasted foam top that evoked the sensation of toasted marshmallows. It was a perfect, memorable finale to a wonderful meal

I’m such a fan of Tutto. Their menu continues to evolve with creative seasonal innovations and improved classics. For those looking for great value, they offer an excellent midweek lunch menu. They’re also accepting bookings for New Year’s Eve, making it a fantastic choice for anyone wanting to see in the new year in style

I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
