A compelling new neighbourhood restaurant from the team behind Chillis Cottage and Deli.

Slowly, inevitably, the Chilli’s Group is overtaking Ettalong’s labyrinthine Galleria. Central Coast locals and weekenders already make a beeline for their gelateria or the small plates, panini and pastries at Chillis Deli. Tutti picks up where Chillis left off, extending the dimensions to the streetfront, and expanding the menu to include spuntini all the way up to secondi.

Start small, and the skewered duck and pancetta spiedini cooked over coals are the pick, paired with char-grilled flatbread smeared with black-olive butter. Plates are refreshingly rustic from ribbons of pappardelle with duck ragu, to porchetta rolled around rosemary and sage and finished with kumquats.

The cucumber spritzes are fresh, the service is cheery, and there are enough reds from Tuscany and Piedmont to keep you occupied if you’re keen to sit on a 1-kilo bistecca from the dry-ageing cabinet. What will they do next?

Good to know: Consider the vanilla gelato for dessert, which is freshly churned just across the way.
