Tutti Matti, is a historic Toronto establishment and is one of Toronto's most notable and successful restaurants. Helmed by Alida Solomon, Tutti Matti offers simple yet delicious Tuscan cuisine and is the recipient of a plethora of awards, like 2009's Osteria of the Year. Alida herself has had a storied career. Growing up in an eclectic Jewish family, she developed a passion for food and culture, developing her culinary sea legs out in Montalcino, Italy, such as learning how butcher wild boar. After coming back home and starting Tutti Matti, while picking up some accolades along the way, you can now can now catch her as the face of Hunt's Tomatoes or on Food Network Canada. And of course, you can always find her friendly smile at Tutti Matti. Alida and I sat down discussing how she fell in love with Italian cuisine and Italy, what her legendary food trips to Italy are like, the difference between Michelin-awarded restaurants in the US and Europe, the importance of storytelling, and all the different pivots she’s done during COVID.
