Dear Members of the Zoning Board,
I am writing to express my wholehearted support for the Special Exception permit application for Tutto Mare, the eagerly anticipated restaurant slated for the Royal Poinciana Playhouse in Palm Beach, Florida. The combination of the Tutto brand's signature style and its ambitious plans to restore The Celebrity Room to its former glory make Tutto Mare an exciting and invaluable addition to our community.
The Tutto brand is renowned for its distinctive and sophisticated style, consistently delivering exceptional dining experiences. Tutto Mare promises to uphold and elevate this signature style, becoming a culinary destination that embodies the elegance and refinement synonymous with Palm Beach living. The introduction of Tutto Mare has the potential to redefine our community's dining landscape, offering residents and visitors a taste of the unparalleled quality for which the Tutto brand is celebrated.
Of particular significance is Tutto Mare's commitment to resurrecting The Celebrity Room, an iconic space with a rich history. The plan to restore The Celebrity Room to its former glory is a commendable endeavor that will preserve an integral part of Palm Beach's cultural heritage. The rejuvenation of this storied venue holds the promise of creating a space that seamlessly blends nostalgia with modernity, providing a unique and captivating experience for patrons.
In conclusion, I strongly urge the Zoning Board to grant the Special Exception permit for Tutto Mare. This restaurant, with its commitment to signature style and the revival of The Celebrity Room, has the potential to become a cornerstone of Palm Beach's cultural and culinary scene.
Sincerely,
Salvatore Piazzolla

Dear Mayor Moore and The Palm Beach Town Council:
As a homeowner in Palm Beach, my family and I very much enjoy all the amenities in town, that make the community so exceptional, like its vibrant shopping and dining scene.
The opportunity to add another wonderful dining concept, Tutto Mare, to the beautifully conceived and executed experiences at Royal Poinciana, is very exciting.
Of course the location for the restaurant, in the renovated Royal Poinciana Playhouse, directly on the waterfront, is extremely special.
The proposed design and food concepts, will allow all to meet, dine, and experience this very special spot.
Having known Gianpaolo de Felice, and his family for many years, and enjoyed his restaurants in The Hamptons, and NYC, I am confident that he will create an equally compelling environment that will only benefit Palm Beach, and its residents and visitors.
My hope is that the Zoning Board approve The Special Exception Zoning Permit application, that is currently being discussed.
Many thanks for your consideration.

Dear Mayor Moore and members of the Town Council:
I just want to express my excitement and pleasure at the thought of Tutto Mare coming to Palm Beach and being the first direct waterfront restaurant in the town.
I lived in Southampton for many summers and found it to be a uniquely wonderful venue with a
beautifully expressed menu of local seafood and pastas, as well as having a marvelous staff that always did their utmost to please their customers. In addition, their clientele was a great mixture of lovers of Italian food of all ages, so it was a wonderful amalgam of fans. The decor was in perfect tune with the cuisine and high level of food and service.
I think it will be a great addition to the town of Palm Beach and to the already wonderful Royal Poinciana Plaza. I hope very much that you will approve their Special Exception Permit as everyone works hard to achieve the re-opening of the Playhouse.
