Dito project is all about gatherings with friends and family. Naturally, creating a unique atmosphere to spend time with loved ones and enjoy it all together, making new traditions and memories. The restaurant’s concept is based on the Italian way of communication with gestures and emotions.
References to traditional Italian gestures and emotions can be instantly found throughout the whole trattoria. The team’s meticulous attention was passionately devoted to walls and kitchen bar decorations by designing bas-relief ornaments which were brought to life by a local artist.
One of the eye-catching elements is decorated with mosaic floors and columns. It helps to naturally bring Italian atmosphere with its cities’ narrow streets and painted walls, and to make guests instantly feel welcome. Mosaic sketches were thoughtfully designed for Dito Italiano by our team and carried out by artist Kirill Romanov.
Dito is a place of vivid colours. At the entrance, guests notice yellow walls and red elements of an open kitchen, blue colour can be discovered in bricks and decorative features. All trattoria tables are carefully made of dissimilar materials: blue marble was used for the main room, the lounge goes with malachite coloured glass, and the rest are solid oak.
All furniture in Dito is vintage and antique. All chairs, shelves and tables were restored and repainted. A large sofa near the wall has become a fascinating experiment for us — it looks from a distance like it is made of light coloured marble, but in fact we used fabric. The unique print was developed by the STUDIO SHOO team.
