At a party in an Italian manor, some people dine around a table in the dining room, some set up tents around the house, while others leisurely bask in the sun on park benches. How to put all these relaxed, happy events into one room?
Inspired by simplistic yet gorgeous Italian houses, the facade of the restaurant features the silhouettes of many small houses, creating an inviting scene. The first floor porch has an arched design and two benches, creating a simple and relaxing area for customers to meet, wait, and chat. At the entrance is a cast iron gate of intricate craftsmanship, accented by kiln-fired tiles on the ground to recreate a scene of an European street. Another arch is built to allow a view of the pizza oven within, so that people can peer into the goings on in the kitchen, turning the baking process into a mysterious ritual performed to summon delicious food. The subtle yellow lighting creates the slightly dimmed but warm atmosphere of a pub.
The first floor is a relaxed pub ambiance, with tables and chairs arranged in a way people are accustomed to, catering to the dining patterns of business guests and dating couples. Near the first floor window, a "Little Bazaar" sells a variety of Italian ingredients such as olive oil, noodles, and vinaigrette. The assortment of goods are displayed on a modern black iron stand, which is not only convenient for shoppers, but also attracts passing guests to stop and take a look. Next to the "Little Bazaar", a spiral staircase with ample lighting on top uses the green belt background it creates to lead people into different levels of spatial narratives.
