Tutti Bene brings the warmth of Italian hospitality to Bozeman, pairing modern fine dining with the playful spirit of a night out among friends. Under the direction of Chef Cesare, the restaurant celebrates heritage, craft, and joy—honoring Italian tradition while embracing creativity and bold expression.
For the art program, we curated a series of glazed ceramics by artist duo Sam and Erin Falls, whose practices are deeply rooted in nature, time, and material presence. Their work explores the poetry of the natural world—Sam through process-driven, weather-influenced mark-making and Erin through expressive, tactile ceramic forms—resulting in pieces that feel both grounded and quietly transcendent.
Complementing these works, the collection features a commissioned series of paintings on panel by Melissa Lakey, who reimagines Western iconography with tenderness and humor—cowboy musicians wandering through dreamlike terrains, pausing to pick wildflowers and drift through landscapes with curiosity and warmth—bringing a lyrical, story-driven sensibility to the dining experience.
Further enriching the collection, works by Kelly Moran introduce a sophisticated dialogue between craftsmanship, process, and intuition. Rooted in painting, ceramics, printmaking, and collage, Moran’s practice reflects decades of artistic exploration and cultural influences, resulting in works that feel deeply considered yet playfully expressive. Her layered compositions, textures, and carefully honed craft invite quiet reflection, adding depth, elegance, and a sense of lived narrative to the restaurant environment. Together, these works create a layered visual narrative—earthy, cinematic, and deeply human—mirroring the restaurant’s spirit of tradition reimagined with heart, creativity, and joy.
Ryan Campbell collaborated with Marissa Radovan to curate the collection.
