Tako is a new sushi restaurant and cocktail bar with an eclectic and visionary atmosphere, played on the edge of fun, located in the heart of Ostiense, a roman neighborhood with a strong industrial identity, frequented by university students and international tourists in search of gourmet dining experiences.

It is a place with an irreverent and unconventional soul, which invites you to make your own the playful and dreamlike dimension of life.

Opened in the year of the rabbit, symbol of luck, prosperity and creativity, Tako draws inspiration from the tale Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, to create an experience with a strong emotional impact, at the same time charismatic and carefree; multifaceted and dreamlike, it is a colorful dream played out in macro-proportions. Butterflies, flowers, lollipops and rabbits populate an environment where food and design blend together to bring to life an emotional, timeless and ageless experience that remains imprinted in the memory of its guests.

The project is revealed on two levels. The ground floor, which has eight large windows overlooking via Ostiense, houses a space with 160 seats, the kitchen and the cocktail bar.

Customers are welcomed by the cocktail bar, dominated by a monolithic mirrored cylinder and an L-shaped counter with a black absolute marble top, covered in magenta press-bent metal while a macro circular bottle holder stands out against a background of iridescent pink glass, creating a dreamy atmosphere.

The sushi bar, with its large portholes, wrapped in a fluid enamelled surface that recalls the movement of water, constitutes the connecting element between the two areas of which the venue is composed.

The main space of the restaurant, is characterized by a variety of seats and tables and conceived according to the color block principle with pink, magenta, cyan and Klein blue colours. A fluid space that culminates in a backdrop of tapered arches in relief, emphasized by lines of light that enclose semicircular niches dressed with mirrors, sofas and tables in total magenta.

Luminous pearls, like bubbles floating in air, create a suspended and light atmosphere, emphasized by the multiplication of reflections on the mirrored surfaces and metal coverings.

A pink lacquered arch, with bold proportions, marks the passage between the two floors used for various functions; a staircase leads to the basement which houses the customer services and technical areas.

A kaleidoscopic tunnel of coloured arches chased down towards the magical world of Alice, in which everything arouses amazement: the walls are wrapped in pink and white wallpaper with dynamic geometry, while macro decor elements such as butterflies, flowers, rabbits and lollipops define a pop identity.

Tako is a project that invites you to dream: arches and niches, furnishings wrapped in reflective and vibrant surfaces welcome customers in a harmonious and playfully provocative environment.
