A series of smaller zones are created within the larger space of the restaurant, tagged with specific Italian names to bring a typical ambience in each area. A key design feature includes communal tables behind the main façade with logo signage that encourage guests to enter and enjoy Italian flavours.

A Show bar is situated at the entrance, connected to the lobby and visible from the street, giving an illuminated background in the evenings. The Wine cellar and Alimentari shelving display a selection of Italian products, wines, beers and a signature grappa, with the service staff clearly on show and performing.

The space gives opportunity for guests to dine while watching the chef preparing pizza behind a Show kitchen counter on the other side of the restaurant.

To ensure the overall experience is responsive to Riga’s dining culture, a number of brand items were given a subtle twist to add an increased focus on comfort and refinement, unique to the location.

Reinterpreted elements of a typical Italian restaurant are visible throughout the space with a range of decorative items and vintage lighting features reinforcing the modern reinterpretation of a classical Italian feel.
