Banquet seating is intimate and perfect for enjoying a delicious meal with friends, and Francesco uses it in every area of the restaurant, from the gorgeous front room to the old chapel-style room with its extra-high ceilings to the second floor, which is inspired by a casual Italian café.
fringe

I absolutely love her use of fringe throughout the space. From the glamorous chandelier to the undersides of the chaise lounges and outdoor umbrellas, fringe adds a bohemian and vintage feel to the glamorous space.
Vienna Chair

I've always loved the look of the classic bentwood chairs, designed by German-Austrian cabinet maker Michael Thonet as practical “consumer” chairs. They're common in European restaurants and a great classic choice here.
Vintage Stripes

The upstairs balcony dining area is reminiscent of the bustling Italian cafés where Francesca spent so much time throughout her life and travels. The bold red stripes are perfect for a convivial space for celebrations and conversation with friends. The ruffled floral candelabras allude to the European coquette trend, where romance reigns.
Hand-painted mural

Each space in the restaurant instantly transports you to a different region of Italy. The room, which Francesca calls the Chapel Room, is where her sister Dede painted the Roman-inspired murals. Francesca further explains the inspiration behind the design: This reel.
Classic Prints + Patterns

Francesca used eclectic prints and infused her signature maximalist style into the space to create an intimate, cozy atmosphere. The combination of checkerboard tile around the wood-burning oven and toile upholstery on the bar stools and banquette in the front room is a refreshing departure from the modern, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated kitchen decor for the past decade.
Pink Pop

I love this pink patio outside; it matches the rustic, eclectic vibe inside perfectly. The plaid on the seating matches the plaid tile inside. The olive wood is perfect for Italian-inspired decor in our LA climate.

Dried flower
