The restaurant/bar’s dramatic interiors have been left raw and mostly untouched giving it a decidedly industrial flavor. But part-owner/art director Tanja Solci’s contemporary Italian style breathes sophistication and restraint into the space through imposing vintage […]

The interior (designed by the late and great David Collins, of The Ivy and The Wolseley fame) is gilded and brightly-hued but is subtly lit so as […]
