More about the UNICA restaurant

It occupies 105 seats and is located in a seven-story residential building on Tzar Osvoboditel Blvd., which was announced as the heritage building's architectural and construction location. The kitchen, located on the underground level, serves the halls on the upper two levels. The entrance area is designed as a warehouse section with selected products.

Throughout the restaurant, amorphous wood elements ("liana") symbolize the dynamic relationship between the two sides, a new perspective on Italy. Lighting, contrasting the ceiling with visible concrete, gives the turquoise space.
