space
The space, an airy Midtown temple of expansive glass, was originally home to Acqua Pazza, owned by Donatella Arpaia’s brother.
Teaming again with designer Matthew Sudock—who also designed Dona, Onera, davidburke & donatella, and the original Acqua Pazza—Donatella established a refined palette of delicate pinks and chocolate browns that soften the clean lines of Sudock’s original design.
The result is an artful balance of masculine and feminine elements that reflects both the professional partnership of Donatella and Psilakis and the refined expectations of their clientele.
Artwork featuring cherry blossoms abounds, and the bar boasts a backlit mural of soft-focus pink blossoms. Donatella’s presence in the dining room adds a distinct layer of sophistication and glamour to the overall service experience.
