There’s something incredibly classy about Italian dining that makes it the perfect choice for date nights, dinner with family and friends, cocktail catch-ups, business lunches, and all other get-togethers!
Located at the corner of Homer and Smithe, Tutto Restaurant & Bar is one of the latest additions to the Yaletown district’s restaurant scene and has quickly become one of the best spots for authentic Italian cuisine in downtown Vancouver.
The restaurant is housed in a historic brick building that was constructed in 1908. With Tutto’s beautifully and immaculately decorated modern interior, which includes an open concept kitchen, a lively wine bar, a private dining area, and painted ceiling art, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported right to Italy.
Open 7 days a week, the restaurant offers menus for lunch, happy hour, and dinner (with private dining bookings available as well), consisting of Italian dishes that use only the finest and freshest ingredients from various Italian provinces.
