Casa Scrovegni Caffè Cibo Vino, Padova (2020).

Located near Giotto’s Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Casa Scrovegni Caffè Cibo Vino is a restaurant designed as a full project: from interior architecture and furniture to brand identity, art direction, and social media.

The design balances a contemporary atmosphere with deep respect for local history and memory. Mirrors amplify the compact interior, while a restored bar counter in corrugated brass and tiles anchors the entrance. A suspended wine display connects the bar to the dining area, where a composition of artworks directly recalls Giotto’s frescoes.

Warm greys, greens, and the signature orange-guava tone reinterpret both the palette of Padua and the restaurant’s past life as an 1980s pizzeria. Elements of the former space — from the pizza oven to re-used table legs — were preserved and reimagined to honour continuity.

To complement the interiors, artist Culetto (Sara de Meo), was commissioned to create Elementarioa series of 22 drawings inspired by Padua’s scientific heritage and the joy of sharing food.

Casa Scrovegni becomes a place where tradition and modernity coexist with ease: warm, witty, and unmistakably Paduan.
