Inside Bar Tutto, Joe Flamm’s New Fulton Market All-Day Italian Cafe | Eater Chicago

"An all-day Italian-inspired cafe and restaurant on the ground floor of a new Fulton Market high-rise, this neighborhood-minded spot starts early with Caffé Umbria coffee, classic pastries like chocolate-filled bombolini, pistachio cornetti, and sfogliatelle, plus egg sandwiches that might include culatello or house prosciutto; lunch brings aperitivi of cured meats and cheeses with housemade mozzarella, seasonal crostini, panini stuffed with porchetta or mortadella (and a spinach-and-artichoke option), traditional soups such as tortellini en brodo and Tuscan white bean, and a substantial kale salad with smoked grilled chicken thighs, farro, and grapes in a creamy Pecorino dressing; by dinner, a custom wood-fired grill anchors heartier plates like grilled dorade with fennel salsa verde, pork collar with peaches and polenta, and a bavette steak marinated in red wine and herbs with peperonata, alongside pastas including rigatoni pesto and fusilli with guanciale and Pecorino. Drinks lean Italian with spritz riffs and Aperol- and Campari-forward cocktails plus an Old World–leaning wine list, while the cozy room—exposed brick, vintage rugs, walnut millwork—seats about 100 (16 at the bar) around an open kitchen; the aim is an inclusive, hangout-friendly neighborhood spot that filters classic Italian cafe culture through Midwest ingredients." - Lisa Shames
