MEDIA RELEASE • 16 AUGUST 2023

Geelong Arts Centre is set to elevate the culinary scene with the unveiling of Tutti, an exhilarating new dining destination nestled within the heart of the arts precinct at 50 Little Malop Street.

Opening its doors at 10:00am on 19 August with a select menu, transitioning into the full offering from 22 September, Tutti promises to captivate the senses and satiate the appetites of visitors, just in time for the highly anticipated Grand Opening Festival celebrations.

Tutti, meaning "with all voices or instruments performing together” in Italian, is poised to become a must-dine destination for connoisseurs of both food and culture.

As a harmonious extension of the artistic landscape that surrounds it, Tutti is more than just a restaurant - it's an experience that embodies the fusion of flavour, creativity, and community.

With the stage set for a myriad of incredible performances at Geelong Arts Centre, Tutti steps in to provide a symphony of flavours that beautifully complement the artistic symphony.

Under the expert guidance of Michelin-trained Executive Chef Nathan Darlington, Tutti is on a mission to redefine local dining.

A meticulously crafted menu, boasting an impressive 80% locally sourced ingredients from within an 80km radius, showcases the region's finest producers.

From The Meat Crew to Baranook Pork, Zeally Bay Sourdough, and an ensemble of local food heroes, Tutti celebrates the vibrant tapestry of Geelong's culinary excellence with every mouthful.

Diners can anticipate a curated journey through Geelong's gastronomic landscape, designed to accommodate a spectrum of dietary preferences.

Tutti aspires to be Geelong's premier destination for immersing oneself in the city's multifaceted culinary and cultural realm, all within a single captivating setting.

As anticipation builds for the Grand Opening of the Geelong Arts Centre Little Malop Street Redevelopment, backed with $140m from the Victorian Government, Tutti stands as a testament to the dynamic spirit of Geelong Arts Centre - a place where art, culture, and cuisine intertwine to create an unforgettable experience.

Food enthusiasts, culture aficionados, and anyone seeking to savour the essence of Geelong are invited to embark on a culinary adventure at Tutti beginning 10:00am on 19 August.
