Tiles in herringbone, pristine and deliberate, rise like a measured heartbeat along the walls. “Bianco Carrara” marble stretches across counters, cool and luminous, grounding the space in quiet grandeur. Oak shelves, raw and natural, cradle the hand-painted murals that seem to breathe, telling stories in brushstroke and color. Deep red and cobalt blue metal signs, wrought by hand, command attention—echoes of a time when craft was ritual. The space doesn’t just recall a traditional Italian butcher shop; it reimagines it, layering memory and material into a contemporary ode to the Macelleria.
