Using *tutto* without the preposition *di* sounds unnatural in this context.
No, tutti mangia di tutto.
The verb must agree with the plural subject *tutti*; *mangia* is singular.
No, tutti mangiano di tutti.
The partitive preposition is *di* + *tutto*, not *di tutti*.

Cultural Tip
In Italian, the expression *di tutto* is the go‑to way to say 'everything' when talking about food or a wide range of items. It sounds natural and colloquial. Remember that *tutti* can be used both as a subject and as an object; here it is the subject, so the verb must be in the third‑person plural form (*mangiano*).
