Looking forward to this June when we will begin celebrations for our tenth anniversary, aboard @belmondbritishpullman . Bringing together Michelin-starred, modern Italian cooking and British Pullman’s iconic train - we can’t wait to celebrate with patrons and passengers alike.

We are delighted to have retained our Michelin star for another year and raise a glass to all of our staff, guests, suppliers - and peers.

Arpepe and Valfaccenda at The Loft
On Monday 2nd March, Tutto will host a special dinner celebrating the joys of Nebbiolo with Isabella of Arpepe and Luca of Valfaccenda in the beautiful surroundings of The Loft.
The evening will explore Nebbiolo in several guises – from the delicate, nuanced wines of Valtellina to the soulful expressions of Roero – alongside a four-course menu from LUCA’s Robert Chambers, designed to best complement the wines.
Located above LUCA in Clerkenwell, The Loft is undoubtedly one of London’s great hidden spaces. By day it is home to Smith & Willis, the hospitality-led restaurant group founded by Johnny Smith and Daniel Willis. Having known Johnny and Daniel long before Tutto began – and having opened a number of special bottles together over the years – we’re delighted to reunite for what promises to be a truly memorable evening.
A large selection of Arpepe and Valfaccenda wines will be available to order on the night, including special older vintages, with Isabella and Luca on hand to share the stories behind each wine, whilst Ed Wilson of Brawn will be playing records on the CAT sound system to soundtrack your after-dinner drinks.
The menu is priced at £55, exclusive of wine, and sadly due to the nature of the event, we are unable to cater for dietary requirements. Visit the link in our bio for tickets. We hope to see you there!
Rainy Heart and The Loft link up for a proper Mancunian–London get-together, in that there London.
Expect raised glasses, nodded heads, a bit of dancing (optional but encouraged), excellent food (from @tacospadre ), and a respectable home time before anyone turns into a pumpkin.
@danieljohnwillis and @johnnymaxsmith left Manchester in the early noughties to throw parties and make bangers, eventually finding themselves running some of London’s best restaurants. These days, they operate a slightly naughty loft space above their restaurant, @luca.restaurant — now firmly established as a home for very good parties and very good music.
Meanwhile, back up north, @danhope and @rufdug have been busy doing the same — growing @rainyheartmcr from a roaming party into a full-blown community and, more recently, a permanent space. The result: some of Manchester’s most talked-about shindigs, now heading south for the night.
Tickets are very limited, and offered at no charge.

So excited to announce Those Who Stay and Those Who Leave, our first photography exhibition at @luca.restaurant . Last year we commissioned @micheleiacobini to go to Sicily to document Ferragosto, the annual summer holiday when seemingly the entire population of Italy disappears to the sun drenched coast. We loved the images so much we had to hang them in the restaurant. The exhibition starts on the 14th of July, we can’t wait for you to see them. (Link in bio for more info)
Me and my mate had a lovely chat with @silvesterldn of @thetimes about what makes us tick, why we love our industry and what we’re planning next. Link in bio for the big scoop 🍨x
So pleased to announce The Rooms at @osiprestaurant . “This will be easy” we said, “it’s just four rooms” we said, “how hard can it be?” Someone said. Well it’s really not been easy, quite the contrary but the results speak for themselves. Huge thanks to @johnnymaxsmith first and foremost for dragging this project kicking and screaming over the line. Take a bow. Massive thanks to @davidoldhamphoto for all his help and to @merlin_johnson and the teams at Osip and Smith and Willis for all their hard work. Can’t wait for people to have dinner, climb up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire and in the morning have the Wizard boil them an egg 🛌 🥚🙏
Very excited to announce the launch of our new venture Smith & Willis and proud to have @osiprestaurant and @merlin_johnson join the family. Link in bio. Watch this space for lots exciting things to be announced including some very fun events in The Loft our new head office. Much love to @emperorofhoxton for this shot and the beautiful images we’ll be releasing x
Are you sitting comfortably? Then we’ll begin…
At Luca, our passion for craft and food is inextricably linked, and we’re delighted to announce a special showcase for Clerkenwell Design Week 2024.
This week, we welcome Vitra to the restaurant as we explore design in hospitality and celebrate the launch of the new Mikado chair (pictured here on The Terrace with Johnny and Daniel), designed by Barber Osgerby.
You can read more about the collaboration on our Stories - link in bio.

So excited to share our short film “I hold you dearly” inspired by white Alba truffle and the hunters and canines who find them. Link in bio for the full film. Huge thanks to @g_ordon_wilhelm and our @luca.restaurant team who helped bring it all together x
