Herringbone wood floors, deluxe signed wallpaper Gucci Decor, tables in burgundy red marble and cherry-colored velvet seats inside, terrace in Italian marble mosaic with a breathtaking view and an ancient wooden pulpit as an outdoor bar: the location design also perfectly reflects the innate glamor of the Florentine brand , going to emphasize its deep-rooted relationship with the 70's Los Angeles jet set. The intertwining of culture, food and fashion completely envelops the lively and inspirational environment, confirming once again the importance of the experimental food scene of the Californian city as a place of culinary innovation.
