A hidden lounge with plush seating, ambient lighting, and artisanal furniture gives this restaurant a secretive charm. The thoughtful zoning sparks curiosity, inviting diners to discover something new with every visit. Lighting plays a key role in setting the mood at Alessa, with a seamless transition from natural daylight to vintage-inspired fixtures, making each space versatile and dynamic. As evening falls, strategically placed soft, warm lighting brings glossy finishes to life, creating a cozy, well-lit atmosphere. We intentionally chose rich, tactile materials like brass, velvet, and mosaic tiles, evoking the elegance of Italian aristocracy.
