Nancy Silverton, McG, and Rick Caruso Team Up for Spacca Tutto at Palisades Village

11.04.25

James Beard Award-winning chef Nancy Silverton, in partnership with Caruso and River Jetty Restaurant Group, announced plans to open Spacca Tutto, a new Italian American steakhouse, at Caruso’s Palisades Village in Pacific Palisades. The restaurant is set to open in August 2026, but early renderings and details hint at one of Los Angeles’ most anticipated culinary openings.

"Los Angeles has such a strong community, and the restaurant industry has always been a big part of that. I wanted to bring a new concept to the west side, pulling inspiration from the Italian flavors that Angelenos know well, alongside some new dishes inspired by a classic American steakhouse. I'm honored to be a part of the future of the Palisades,” said Nancy Silverton.

Spacca Tutto will blend elements of Silverton’s chi SPACCA with classic steakhouse traditions. The menu will feature a robust steak program, American favorites, salads, seafood, and seasonal vegetable dishes, along with a bar menu of smaller bites. The wine list will include nearly 250 Italian and domestic labels, paired with a “fast craft” cocktail menu designed for all-day service.

“The name Spacca Tutto reflects resilience, creativity, and courage – the same qualities driving the Palisades community to come roaring back in 2026,” said Rick Caruso, founder and executive chairman of Caruso. “With Nancy and River Jetty, we’re creating something bold and unmistakably Palisades.”

The phrase “spacca tutto” translates to “go for it” or “give it your all.” The restaurant will anchor the reimagined Palisades Village, marking a milestone in the property’s rebuild after the January 2025 fires.

“At River Jetty, we pride ourselves on creating spaces that bring people together through exceptional food and genuine hospitality,” said Joseph “McG” Nichol, partner and co-founder of River Jetty Restaurant Group. “We’re honored to partner with Nancy and the Caruso team on a concept that brings that shared passion to life and celebrates the Palisades community we’re so proud to join.”

River Jetty Restaurant Group is behind several acclaimed Orange County restaurants, including A Restaurant and A Market in Newport Beach, A Crystal Cove, and CdM Restaurant in Corona del Mar. And, in Long Beach, there is A PCH. 

Spacca Tutto will be designed by AvroKO, a global design firm known for its award-winning hospitality interiors.
