The Il Riccio restaurant in Kyiv, Ukraine, offers a dining experience as rich as its heritage. Located in a historic building on a leather goods workshop site, which remains part of the design, reminiscent of its history, the interior design blends the site’s past with modern sophistication.
The legacy of the leather goods workshop is thoughtfully woven into the design. Leather details such as chandeliers, armchairs, and decorative elements add elegance and luxury to the interior. They reflect the past of the workshop and create a unique style for the restaurant. These features lend the restaurant a distinctive style, making it a feast for the eyes as much as for the palate.
The restaurant’s show kitchen adds a touch of liveliness and interactivity to the ambiance. Guests are treated to the sights, sounds, and aromas of culinary artistry in action, making dining at IL Riccio not just a meal but an engaging experience.
The uneven texture of terracotta plaster adds coziness and warmth to the restaurant space, creating an atmosphere of home comfort. It’s a perfect destination for those who appreciate fine dining in an environment where history and contemporary elegance meet.
