Tucked away on a quiet street in Rome’s La Sapienza University district, this small yet dynamic cocktail bar has quickly become a landmark for students and locals. The neighborhood, known for its rich cultural, social, and ethnic diversity, shaped the design approach, blending tradition with innovation to reflect its unique character.
The concept balances the eclectic identity of the area with the distinctive gastronomic and beverage offerings curated by the young owners. Innovative shapes and materials seamlessly integrate with original architectural elements – such as exposed brickwork and terrazzo floors – emphasizing the harmony between Roman heritage and a cosmopolitan spirit.
A carefully curated palette of colors and lighting, custom iron furnishings, glazed tiles, and brass accents enhance the bar’s distinctive identity. Thoughtful attention to bespoke furniture design creates a space that is both vibrant and inviting, offering a joyful yet intimate atmosphere.
