Ignore The Plywood: Tutti’s Is Open!

Tutti’s is one of those wonderful Westport restaurants: excellent, intimate, yet so small it’s sometimes off our where-do-we-go-tonight radar?

That’s tough enough, in these cutthroat culinary days. But now the Saugatuck jewel faces another challenge.

Last week, a driver caused severe damage to the front of the building.

No one was hurt. But a large piece of plywood still replaces a window.

The insurance company is taking its time processing the claim. It won’t allow the building to be repaired.

Tutti’s parking lot was filled during the Slice of Saugatuck. The restaurant is an important part of the neighborhood.

Many folks think the restaurant is closed.

It’s not.

But if business doesn’t pick up, this gem — a family-owned favorite since 2002 — will suffer severely.

Owners Pasquale and Maria Funicello — and their family — keep Tutti’s going.

So, “06880” readers, here’s a plea. If you’re a regular: Head back.

If you’ve never been to Tutti’s, head over to 599 Riverside Avenue. You won’t be disappointed.
