Bar Tutto

The fourth restaurant from celeb chef Joe Flamm's Day Off Group, Bar Tutto is an instant classic. The Top Chef alum is behind hits like Rose Mary, BLVD Steakhouse and Il Carciofo, and ventured into the all-day concept in late 2025 with the debut of his new West Loop restaurant. Inspired by the wine bars and eateries of Italy, Bar Tutto serves brunch, lunch and dinner, in addition to a bustling grab-and-go counter in the cafe.

The vibe: By day, lunchgoers, office workers and West Loop locals keep the grab-and-go counter busy. By night, group chatter, the hum of the kitchen and energetic beats keep the energy high.

The food: Four different menus (cafe, brunch, lunch and dinner) cover all the bases, no matter what time of day you come in. Highlights include the pillowy and ultra-fresh fusilli (pesto, parmesan and basil), the decadent rigatoni (guanciale, pecorino and black pepper), and flavorful mozzarella crostino (butternut squash mostarda and candied pepitas). 

The drinks: Cocktails with Italian flair, such as the Martini Saporito (gin, tomato water, Carpano Bianco, and basil), fill the drink menu, alongside artisanal sodas, iced tea, lemonade, Fernet and a robust curation of European wines.

Time Out tip: If you're here for dinner, the best seat in the house is at the chef's counter in the back. You'll get an up-close view of the well-choreographed kitchen staff working their magic, and you might even get a chance to chat with Flamm during your meal.
