Openings

Tutto Kitchen & Bar, located in the heart of downtown Roswell, opened at the end of November 2014. The Italian eatery uses only locally sourced and Italian-imported ingredients to craft a menu of shared plates and appetizers such as grilled octopus and veal meatballs; pasta and risotto dishes; and entrées like braised Colorado lamb shank and other weekly chef-chosen specials. Besides several signature cocktails and draft and crafts brews, Tutto's full bar offers a wine list with more than 70 wines by the glass and bottle. Lunch & Dinner daily. Tutto Kitchen & Bar, 942 Alpharetta St., Roswell, GA 30075, 678-878-2525.
 
Jim Stacy's popular Pallookaville Fine Foods will soon have a sibling operation limited to take-out in the Little Five Points area. A former hair salon yields to the newest Pallookaville at 1107 Euclid Ave. NE, and is anticipated to open in April or May 2015.
 
David Garcia and Abigail Quinn, teaming up with Billy Allin and Kristin Allin of Decatur's Cakes & Ale, will open Proof Bakeshop in Inman Park in May 2015. Garcia and Quinn currently head the bread and pastry programs for Cakes & Ale and the adjacent The Café at Cakes & Ale. Proof will offer counter service as a coffee shop and bakery while at the same time serving as the central kitchen and bakery for the Allins' growing organization, which will include Bread & Butterfly, slated to open in the fall of 2015, also in Inman Park. Proof Bakeshop, 100 Hurt St. NE, Atlanta, GA 30307, no phone.
 
Chef Ron Eyester's clutch of establishments has now grown beyond his Morningside triumvirate. On March 5, 2015, he opened Diner, his long-awaited contribution to dining in Atlantic Station, for lunch service. The opening menu featured such dishes as crab-stuffed shrimp, sorghum-roasted salmon, fried pork chops and a brisket and short rib burger, along with ice cream, cakes, pies and more. In designing the newcomer, Eyester had in mind the classic American diner. Serving breakfast all day, Diner will initially be open daily from 11 a.m.-4 p.m., and will continue to expand. Diner, 264 19th St. NW, Atlanta, GA 30363, 404-600-6151.
