Company: New School Hospitality

Spacca Tutto is a bold new Italian-American steakhouse concept opening in August 2026 in the Palisades Village. Founded by James Beard Award-winning chef Nancy Silverton in partnership with Rick Caruso and New School Hospitality, Spacca Tutto builds on the legacy of Silverton's acclaimed chi SPACCA while embracing the timeless appeal of classic American steakhouse dining. 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."
