Sagrada Studio led the complete renovation of this Santa Monica restaurant, transforming a long-standing Italian space into a layered, highly considered hospitality environment. Working within the existing footprint, the design redefines each area with a distinct identity while maintaining operational efficiency. The bar was reimagined as a focal point with custom arches, integrated lighting, and a rich material palette, while dining areas balance traditional references with contemporary elements through textured wall finishes, velvet upholstery, and curated lighting.

Custom details, including a zellige-tiled host stand, hand-painted entry feature wall, and vintage Murano sconces, introduce depth and individuality throughout.

The concept draws on a “New London” sensibility, blending classic European influences with a relaxed California perspective to create a space that feels both elevated and approachable.
