Ripieno (Italian for stuffing) or tutti (Italian for everybody) can refer to:

  • the larger of the two ensembles in the concerto grosso. This is opposed to the concertino which are the soloists.
  • the notes added when realizing the figured bass of a basso continuo.
  • "ripieno concertos", which are like early symphonies in that there is not usually any dominant soloist.
