Spanning 3,000 square feet of interior space with a 1,500-square-foot patio and bar, the restaurant will have the warmth and intimacy of a neighborhood destination. The menu features an extensive steak program alongside salads, seafood, and seasonal vegetable dishes, a creative bar menu, nearly 150 Italian and domestic wine labels, and a well-crafted cocktail program. Spacca Tutto will serve as a centerpiece of the reimagined Palisades Village. As Silverton puts it, "It gives you that feeling of wanting to eat there every night."
