About Dito Italiano
A Journey into the Heart of Italian Trattoria Design
Welcome to Dito Italiano, a radiant and snug Italian trattoria that celebrates the magic of homemade pasta and pizza dough. As you step inside, you’re greeted by a charming market space, adorned with a variety of Italian products and an extensive selection of cheese, all meticulously prepared by the dedicated Dito team.
Creating a Unique Atmosphere for Gatherings
The essence of Dito’s project is about fostering gatherings with friends and family. It’s about creating a unique atmosphere where you can enjoy precious moments with your loved ones, crafting new traditions and memories. The restaurant’s concept is deeply rooted in the Italian way of communication, a language rich in gestures and emotions.
Embracing Traditional Italian Gestures and Emotions
The trattoria is a testament to traditional Italian gestures and emotions, which are seamlessly woven into the fabric of the establishment. The team’s meticulous attention to detail is evident in the wall and kitchen bar decorations, where bas-relief ornaments, designed by the team and brought to life by a local artist, add a touch of Italian charm.
Aesthetic Appeal: Mosaic Floors and Columns
One of the most attractive components of Dito Italiano is the mosaic floors and columns. These elements naturally evoke the Italian atmosphere, reminiscent of the country’s narrow streets and painted walls, making guests instantly feel welcome. The mosaic sketches, thoughtfully designed for Dito Italiano by our team, were expertly executed by artist Kirill Romanov.
A Symphony of Vivid Colours
Dito Italiano is a place of vivid colours. Upon entering, guests are greeted by sunny yellow walls and fiery red elements of an open kitchen. Hints of blue can be discovered in bricks and decorative features. The trattoria tables, each carefully crafted from dissimilar materials, add to the aesthetic appeal. Blue marble graces the main room, the lounge boasts malachite coloured glass (a type of green mineral), and the rest are solid oak.
Vintage and Antique Furniture: A Nod to the Past
All the furniture in Dito Italiano is vintage and antique, each piece restored and repainted to breathe new life into them. A large sofa near the wall has become a fascinating experiment for us — it appears from a distance to be made of light coloured marble, but in fact, we used fabric. The unique print was developed by the STUDIO SHOO team, adding a touch of modernity to the vintage setting.
